Hi Richard, Did you make any adjustments to the EQ on the Open Fit ap
during your comparison? I had a pair of the original Open Fit Shokz a
while ago, but I returned them after a week, because the base sounded
distorted at higher levels and I didn't like the touch controls
Thanks.

Greetings,
I decided to spend more time comparing my over the head headphones
from Audio-Technica, the M50BT2 with the OpenFit 2 from Shokz for
music listening.
I sampled various pieces, The War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne narrated
by Richard Burton, (what could be called a rock musical adaptation of
the H. G. Wells story; a piece focusing on the organ by Rick Wakeman,
from his Six Wives of Henry the 8th, and Samuel Barber's adagio for
strings.
The mid range and base on both are quite good. The treble is more
pronounced, as one might expect, on the over-the-head Audio-Technica
headphones. While they still sound fine on the OpenFit 2, if you
really want the treble to be crystal clear, earbuds like the OpenFit 2
will probably not satisfy you.
However, the mid range and the base in some ways seemed more clear to
me with the OpenFit 2 set.
For my personal listening, the convenience of the OpenFit 2 when not
at home, or wanting more access to the sounds around me, the OpenFit 2
are very good.
Obviously, everyone's listening preference is different and so no
observation is right or wrong, but I thought I would at least put this
out there.
One needs always to try earphones for themselves and not completely go
by what others say.
HTH,
Richard, USA
