SHOKZ New OpenMeet UC - Open-Ear Bluetooth Computer Headset, Noise Cancelling Mic + Mute Button, USB-A Dongle Compatible with PC & Mac, Wireless Work Headphones, Customizable Fit, Smart App - C610 UC

I recently tried the new Shokz OpenMeet bone conduction headset, and I’m genuinely impressed! The lightweight design and open-ear comfort make it perfect for long calls without any ear fatigue. The sound clarity is outstanding—voices come through crisp and natural, even in noisy environments. The noise-canceling microphone does a fantastic job of filtering out background noise, ensuring that the person on the other end hears you clearly. Battery life is solid, lasting through multiple meetings without needing a recharge. Plus, the Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, with no noticeable lag or dropouts. If you need a reliable, comfortable headset for work calls or online meetings, Shokz OpenMeet is definitely worth it!

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the SHOKZ OpenMeet UC. The mic quality when connected via the Loop 120 USB-C dongle is outstanding—full-bodied, natural, and remarkably clear. If a broadcast mic is a 10 and AirPods Pro are a 4, I’d confidently rate this an 8. It’s more than good enough for video conferencing and sales calls. A nice bonus: the USB-C dongle works flawlessly with my iPad Pro and iPad Mini. It’s instantly recognized as both a mic and headphone device—no setup needed. That kind of plug-and-play compatibility is rare and really appreciated. I also tested Bluetooth with Apple TV for FaceTime and Zoom, and it worked without a hitch. Just keep in mind that mic audio over Bluetooth is a notch or two below the wired dongle experience. That’s a Bluetooth limitation, not the headset’s fault. One last note—some reviews mentioned the headset falling off easily, but that wasn’t my experience at all. It stayed secure during normal use with no issues. Overall, this is a well-designed, great-sounding, and highly functional headset. Highly recommend for remote work, meetings, and media use.

Do NOT buy these. I'm a huge SHOKZ fan. I've convinced several friends and coworkers to buy SHOKZ because of their quality and comfort. I've even gifted different pairs to loved ones for birthdays and holidays. So my base line is SHOKZ is just the best. I bought this pair for myself for my birthday. I was really excited about this developing technology. I wanted so badly to absolutely love this headset. Truth is they are the most uncomfortable headset I've ever put on. The technology isn't here yet. The entire headset needs a full redesign with actual ergonomics included. This headset won't stay on my head unless I wear a headband to hold the headset in place. Do not look down when you're wearing this. Most especially do not wear them to the bathroom because when you take aim, they will take flight. I've narrowly escaped a submerged headset twice. If I ever made that mistake again the toilet can have them. The audio is nice but not there yet. Still needs development with the lows but they have great mids. The inline mute on the mic is extremely appreciated. But the few narrow improvements do not make up for the absurdity in the discomfort. I literally despise wearing this headset and went back to my Open Com UC. In short this headset is a massive failure and a complete and total waste of money. Do not buy this headset unless you just want to be miserable wearing it.

Pros: Comfort & Fit: Lightweight and fits well. Different size options included for adjustments. Call Quality & Noise Cancellation: Excellent call quality with no complaints from callers. Effectively blocks out loud mechanical keyboard noise. Connectivity: Simultaneous connection to both Windows PC and phone. Easy transition from listening to music to answering calls. No connection issues experienced. Sound Quality: Decent sound, better than expected. Great for calls, though not bass-heavy for music. Cons: Comfort & Fit: Sideways pressure on temples causes some discomfort, even after adjustments. Mic Positioning & Mute Functionality: Mic cannot be switched to the other side, which is inconvenient for right-handed users. Mute button placement on the mic is not easily accessible. No quick mic flip-to-mute option; button must be pressed. Annoying "mute on" voice notification instead of a simple sound cue. Volume Control: Headset volume operates independently from the computer, causing inconsistency. Requires manual adjustment in the Windows volume mixer to fully mute. Software Limitations: Settings can only be accessed via the mobile app; no Windows app available. No keyboard shortcut support for muting; relies on the softphone switch instead. Environmental Noise Issues: Because this headset is designed to allow you to hear your environment, it does not work well if there are other noises that you are trying to avoid hearing. Since I live near an airport and have a washing machine right outside my door, I thought the benefit of hearing my family would be helpful, but it has turned out to be a distraction, and I can't focus at all now.

They are great. The battery lasts for 2-3 days with continuous use. The only issue I have is if you bend over to pick up something or lean over for too long the headset will slide off your head.

Excellent in every way except the one that matters most - the fit. These are great headphones - crisp sound quality and super noise cancelling microphone but they unfortunately are just too big and slide every time I move my head. It's unfortunate that Shokz would design such an excellent device without taking this into consideration.

I bought these to replace an Opencomm headset I'd been using every day for work for 3 years - the mic arm went wrong on those. The Openmeet is pricey but certainly a step up from the Opencomm. The quality feels alot better and even the storage case is nicer. Battery is charged via USB C and the life is good. Sound quality is very good an beats the opencomm. Whilst primarily for work, it's also great for Duolingo and the sound is plenty good enough for films and TV. Ok for music but dedicated headphones would be better. The hybrid setup (bone conduction and speaker) works well and doesn't leak sound. The design enables you to hear whats going on around you but this makes them unsuitable for noisy environments, but I'm sure anyone looking at these already knows this. I got the version with the USB dongle which connects with my work laptop easily, and the Bluetooth connects to my personal phone and it allows both to be active at once.

I was surprice at the audio quality on this device. The sound quality on music is not that bad. You can toggle to standard mode (which is good for listening to music) and vocal mode (good for calling listening to audio books or listening to podcast/news). I was not able to drain the batter the entire day, I have 40% left even after an entire day of use. Noise cancelling is aslo amazing on the mic. I have a toddler and an infant thats always on the background. I need to be able to hear them (plus my wife) but my caller doesnt need to hear them and this works perfect. Cons - The Fit - It falls. Altho the headphone is not putting stress on my head at all it falls all the time. I have to wear a hat to keep it on. Not meant for outside use, it will fall when you bow down. USB doesnt work on conversion to phone jacks, radio console, cat5/6/ethernet, the port shoud supply power to power up the dongle and use it as a transmitter. I work as a 9-1-1 dispatcher and it was my primary plan to use this at work to be able to have situational awareness at the same time while dispatching and talking 911 calls. I need to be able to hear other radios chatters in the background and people calling or hailing my attention. But we use radio console like Solacom and this device is not compatible eventhough this is plug and play. I just wish that they will update the firmware or dunno improve the USB dongle to be used on phone jacks/cat5 cable. (Note: I also thried the converter but did not work, donbgle is not lighting up which means no power is being supplied to it) But I will still use this in as my daily headphones. I just love the sound quality and the situational awareness.

shook as always innovating, is light, conversation clear, connectivity superb.

Lo que ya se conoce (no ajustan y se mueven/caen con el movimiento de la cabeza) + que con un volúmen algo alto el sonido se logra escuchar a tu alrededor (porque usa 2 formas de emitir el sonido de forma simultánea: por hueso y normal). En todo caso, me gusta y no lo devolveré.

Hätte nie gedacht, dass das wirklich so gut funktioniert! Ich trage seit Jahren ein Hörgerät, welches hinter dem Ohr sitzt. Das Mikrofon dieses gerätes schaut oben an der Ohrmuschel nach vorn. Problem bisher: Ich musste die Hörmuscheln der Headsets immer etwas oberhalb des Ohres tragen, damit die Lautsprecher des Hörgerätes die Töbe des Headsets aufnehmen und verstärken konnten. Jetzt sitzt das Knochenleit-Headset VOR dem Ohr - und die Übertragung klappt prima! Größter Vorteil dieser Kombination gegenüber dem telefonieren mit dem Hörgerät: Das Mikrofon des Hörgerätes sitz oben am Ohr und überträgtneben meiner Stimme auch alle Nebengeräusche sehr laut an meinen Gesprächspartner. Die Mikrofone des Shokz Headset sitzen an einem Bügel vorn nah dem Mund, nehmen also viel mehr Stimme auf. Außerdem hat das Shokz zusätzlich eine Ki-gesteuerte Geräuschunterdrückung. Ergebnis: Ob ich Auto fahre oder Rad, ob ich Wasser laufen lasse oder sonst as mache - mein gesprächspartner hörtbei guter Stimmqualiät nur sehr wenige Nebengeräusche. Und die Klangqualität bei mir ist 1000 mal besser als bei meinem Hörgerät Phonal Paradise. Ergebnis: im Shokz Open Meet headset ist viel mehr Paradies drin beim Telefonieren!
