My new ear “buds” I really love them. Dusty looking after a full day (first day) July 4, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked for them, my birthday is 2 weeks away, Costco has these on sale ($40 off until July 19th.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was pressing my hubby about them since they could be sold out if he waited too many days to get them, and then of course, I wanted them early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He let me have them on July 4th morning. 2 weeks before my birthday exactly. I always had treated the 4th as the first day of a weeks long celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only because July used to be an exciting month and since getting married I have to share it with my hubbies birthday, but I have a love language of receiving gifts, so of course my birthday and Christmas are my favorite holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is no joke. I’m serious as all get out that is my love language, it’s a weird one, sure, but it’s how I know I am loved, when a THOUGHTFUL gift is given to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These headphone things are wireless and sit on the ear, like floating speakers. I can wear them all day with NO PAIN! Amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shokz Open Fit 2 SE – Good sound, using app for them you can boost the bass, very, very good. Battery lasts all day, even with me mostly playing music all the time, and a few phone calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Husband reports very clear voice from me on phone calls with him using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Button on top of the rectangle piece that sits on your ear, just inside the top area, it’s secure and painless, easy to find the button if you are getting a phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a multi-use button. I haven’t used it for music yet. If a phone call comes in music is paused automatically, answer call by pressing button on headphone, and when done, I just let my hubby hang up, music resumes automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m supposing pressing the button would end a call and auto resume the music. Well I can say I did use the button yesterday to pause my music, just to be sure it did. It did. I don’t know about volume yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to try to use some Samsung ear buds Buds Live and Beans, and I gave them both away to my kids. I can’t wear them, pain, so anyhow I’m not used to controlling volume like that on ear piece. I have a Level-U headset, controls on the collar, which make sense, I just hate using it if not using it for music, calls and notifications went to it and I had no clue since they weren’t in my ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could wear them, but didn’t like how my ears felt, though not as bad as other products of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m very jazzed that I can wear my new Shokz with no trouble at all. Hurray!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
