Compare Edifier LolliClip Earbuds vs Shokz OpenFit 2

ANC is consistently described as limited for the category: some reviews found it modestly useful for low-level distractions, while others called it weak or poor.

Reviewers were clear that the OpenFit 2 does not provide active noise cancellation; its design favors awareness over blocking outside noise.

Android support is helped by Google Fast Pair, which one review says recognizes the earbuds quickly.

The app and connectivity evidence supports use with Android alongside iOS, including explicit Android/iOS app availability and Android phone testing.

The companion app unlocks many features and is useful overall, but reviews also describe it as annoying or rough around the edges.

The Shokz app is generally praised for EQ controls, multipoint setup, firmware/update ease, button customization, and earbud-finding tools.

One reviewer found no aptX support, noting that the earbuds rely only on SBC and AAC codecs.

One review found latency pretty decent, including for video and quick-reaction games.

One video review reported no lip-sync delay when watching video, giving the earbuds strong audio-video sync evidence.

Bass is stronger than many open-ear rivals and can sound punchy or standout, but several reviews also note muddiness, limited sub-bass, or genre-dependent blur.

Bass is repeatedly described as improved and strong for open-ear earbuds, though still less forceful than sealed in-ear models.

Battery life is one of the strongest recurring positives, with reviews repeatedly citing around 9 hours per charge and strong endurance overall.

Build evidence centers on upgraded nickel-titanium hooks and soft silicone materials, with reviewers treating the construction as refined and comfortable.

High-resolution playback support is part of the appeal, with one review explicitly tying it to LDAC.

Physical button controls are one of the most consistently praised upgrades, especially for workouts, gloves, and avoiding accidental touch inputs.

Case impressions are mostly negative, with complaints about plasticky materials or bulk.

The case is seen as functional and sometimes compact, but reviews also note drawbacks such as large size or lack of water resistance.

Quick charging is a real plus, with one review noting 15 minutes for about 3 hours of playback.

Charging is strong overall because multiple reviewers cite quick charging, USB-C, and roughly two hours of playback from short top-ups.

One review says the clip pressure is well balanced rather than too tight or too loose.

One review explicitly confirms AAC, SBC, and LDAC codec support.

Codec support is limited; the only direct codec evidence says the earbuds use SBC and AAC.

Comfort is a major strength, with reviewers saying the earbuds are easy to forget, wearable for hours, and not especially sore after long sessions.

Comfort is a major strength, with many reviewers reporting all-day wear, long-run comfort, low fatigue, and good use with glasses.

The clip-on look is distinctive and jewelry-like, which one reviewer viewed positively.

Design impressions are positive overall, with reviewers noting a premium finish, stylish look, and refined control integration.

EQ customization is a weak point, with multiple reviews saying there is no real custom EQ or that the custom option does not work properly.

EQ customization is well supported through the Shokz app, with evidence for presets, custom EQ, and manual multi-band adjustment.

Multiple reviews say the app includes a lost-earbud finding feature.

Find My functionality exists for earbuds, but several reviews limit praise because it does not locate the charging case.

One review describes the mids as tonally accurate and decently balanced.

Frequency response evidence is mixed, with measured or subjective comments pointing to restrained treble and open-ear low-end compromises.

At least one review confirms a USB-C to USB-A charging cable in the box.

Accessory evidence is limited to the included USB-C cable and standard box contents, with no broader bundle praise.

One review found instrumental elements decently separated in better-matched material.

Instrument separation has limited but positive support, with one reviewer noting more definition in guitars and acoustics.

One review directly states that both ends have built-in microphones for calls.

Integrated microphone evidence is direct but limited, with one review confirming two microphones in each earbud.

Multiple reviews say the buds are symmetrical and can be worn or returned to the case in either orientation, with channels adapting automatically.

LDAC support is repeatedly highlighted as a standout extra for an open-ear design, including confirmation in one review that it works alongside multipoint.

One reviewer found no LDAC support, noting that codec support is limited to SBC and AAC.

One review reports that the earbuds keep their composure well at higher volume without obvious distortion problems.

Maximum-volume clarity is mixed: several reviewers found loud playback usable, while others heard muddiness or distortion when pushed hard.

Noise reduction helps suppress surrounding sound in calls, with reviews mentioning traffic or fan noise being reduced.

Microphone noise reduction is a clear positive, with reviews describing beamforming or noise-cancelling mics reducing wind and background sound.

Call quality is generally usable to good, though voice tone can vary from clear to slightly metallic or distant depending on conditions.

Call quality is generally strong, with reviewers and callers describing voices as clear, loud, and easy to hear.

Midrange and vocals are generally a strength, with reviewers noting nice mids and especially strong vocal reproduction.

Midrange clarity is generally good, especially for vocals, though open-ear limitations and heavy bass boosts can muddy the sound.

One review specifically discusses using the buds across a MacBook and iPhone, showing practical cross-device use.

Multi-platform compatibility is supported by evidence across phones, computers, Garmin, Apple Watch, Android, and iPhone use.

Multipoint works and switching is generally reliable, but playback priority and automatic takeover are limited, so users often need to pause one device first.

Multipoint connectivity is repeatedly praised as smooth, seamless, reliable, and useful for switching between two devices.

Passive isolation is weak, with outside sound bleeding into the listening experience as expected from the open design.

Passive isolation is intentionally weak; reviewers stress that the earbuds avoid plugging the ear and provide minimal blocking.

The case is not especially slim, but one review still called it pocketable.

Portability is mostly positive because the case is pocketable, though the open-ear form factor is not foldable.

Preset EQs are hit or miss: Classic is often preferred, Bass Boost can add fullness, and some of the other presets are criticized.

Preset EQ opinions are positive overall, with Bass Boost, Treble Boost, and Standard presets each receiving useful praise.

Biometric and wear-related sensors are a headline feature, with reviews repeatedly mentioning heart rate, blood oxygen, wear detection, and usable readings.

Sensor support is weak because reviewers repeatedly mention missing wear detection and limited smart sensor features.

The glossy finish tends to attract fingerprints and smudges.

Smudge resistance has one positive support point: a reviewer described the matte case finish as resisting fingerprints.

Setup and navigation are mixed: some reviews say menus are hidden or awkward, while others say pairing or general navigation is simple.

Setup is described as quick and easy, with smooth pairing and app-based firmware updating.

Leakage is present at moderate volume in quiet surroundings, which matches the open-ear design.

Sound leakage is improved and often limited, but reviewers still warn that nearby people may hear audio at higher volumes.

Across reviews, overall sound is described as strong for an open-ear model, with multiple reviewers calling it impressive or surprisingly good.

Sound quality is strongly praised for open-ear earbuds, especially versus older Shokz models, while still trailing sealed earbuds.

The earbuds can produce a wide presentation for the category, with reviewers specifically calling out a wide soundstage.

Soundstage evidence is mixed: one reviewer heard a wide stage, while SoundGuys found limited immersion compared with sealed designs.

Spatial audio is generally treated as a weak extra: reviews say it can sound recessed, blurred, or otherwise reduce clarity versus normal playback.

Spatial audio support is poor for the base OpenFit 2, with direct evidence that 3D or spatial audio was not found.

Fit security is a consistent strength, with reviews describing the earbuds as secure and staying in place well.

Stability is a major strength across workouts, runs, and daily activity, despite one reviewer noticing a slight left-ear wobble.

One review notes some recyclable packaging elements, while also saying Edifier still uses too much plastic overall.

Touch control behavior is mixed to poor overall: several reviews report finicky taps or misfires, though one found the large touch area easier to use.

Touch controls are secondary and mixed: useful for assistants, but limited, sometimes finicky, and less favored than physical buttons.

One review says environmental transparency is excellent and preserves awareness very well.

Awareness is excellent, with reviewers consistently able to hear surroundings, conversations, traffic, or room sounds while listening.

Treble is controlled enough to avoid harshness for some listeners, though another review says the highest registers lack brilliance.

Treble is generally clear and improved, though some measurement-based evidence describes it as restrained rather than sparkling.

One review explicitly notes a USB-C charging port on the case.

USB-C is strongly supported, with multiple reviews identifying USB-C charging on the case.

Value is a recurring positive, with reviews saying the earbuds punch above their price or feel worth the asking price.

Value is mixed: reviewers like the upgrades and performance, but several criticize the price or nearby alternatives.

Voice assistant actions can be assigned through the controls, based on one review.

Voice assistant support exists through touch/button activation, but evidence shows it is not hands-free and is somewhat limited.

Several reviews say the LolliClip gets loud, with one calling them loud and clear and another saying 50% volume was already enough.

Volume output is a strong point, with reviewers repeatedly noting louder playback than the original OpenFit and useful headroom outdoors.
