On-ear earphones are different to normal in-ear earphones. The sound is transmitted to the ear canal outside the ear, and the technology used is also different. . OpenFit uses DirectPitch technology to transmit the sound accurately into the ear canal, and the audition feels like hanging a speaker outside the ear. The ultra-large 18mm x 11mm dynamic driver unit also greatly enhances the OpenFit feel. The editor used Moov to play “Rainy Day” by Lin Yilian and Blue Warrior. I feel that the vocals are clear and the music is quite layered. Then listen to “Girl O” by Ysgol Damien. The soundtrack of this song is more complex, the rhythm is richer, the high frequency is well done, and the vocals are also clear. Thanks to Shokz OpenBass, I feel that the three frequencies are balanced, and it can be more suitable for listening to a pop song.
