Shokz OpenFit True Wireless vs Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Truly Wireless and Shokz OpenFit True Wireless fit very differently, but both provide unsealed fits for hearing your surroundings, resulting in negligible bass reproduction. The Bose clip on the bottom of your ears and their fit is a more stable solution. Their sound is brighter and less balanced by default, although you can EQ them somewhat. Their battery life is longer if you don't enable the included virtual surround sound. The Shokz fit with silicone-covered hooks over your ears, which is stable but not as stable as the Bose. Their sound isn't as overly-bright as the Bose and you also have the ability to fine-tune the sound via the companion app. They also have a greater IP rating, as they're certified for dust resistance. That said, given that these two sets of buds are similarly spec'd, the fact that the Shokz retail for quite a bit less could influence a buying decision.
