Everyone knows this product, and I think it’s totally underrated.
Why is no one talking more about it? I always see photos on X and Instagram of the Ear (2) or Ear (a), but why is nobody talking about the Ears (Open)?
They’re not just for running! 🏃🏻♀️
Uses cases
They fit perfectly If you are…
A parent with a little baby and it’s super important to hear what’s going on around you
Cooking or making breakfast
Assembling furniture for people
Watching TV but you don’t wanna annoy the other person
Working in an office / coworking
I have some earphones, why should I buy them?
If every earphone has transparency mode, why should you even consider these open ones?
Well, first of all, some people just can’t wear in-ear headphones — they hurt or are just annoying.
But if you’re like me, and you’re totally fine with in-ear ones and need music all day long… here’s another reason:
We seriously need to let our ears rest sometimes. In my case, I noticed that the silicone tips were starting to degrade, turning kinda yellowish.
👥 How do people listen to you?
That’s something super important for me. I live far from my family, and I call them often — usually when I’m out and about (and not in the middle of nowhere). So I deal with tons of city noise, which is why this is a big deal for me.
🔊 Audio quality
I mostly use them for running, and I usually listen to hardcore stuff — so yeah, lots of bass and highs.
These earbuds go loud, and I really appreciate that. Sometimes I even use them in the metro, and I can still hear pretty well. Of course, you’re gonna miss noise cancellation, but that’s expected.
💆🏻 Comfort
For this, I compared them with my Aftershocks (bone conduction headphones I used for running).
They’re great, but when I tried using them all day, after like 4 hours they started hurting at the top of my ear cartilage.
With these Ear (Open), I wore them for 8 hours and 40 minutes straight and… nothing. No pain at all!
That really surprised me — super good choice.
Also, I wear glasses and had no issues.
But! If you’ve got small ears, it might be a problem — they might feel a bit too big
🔋 Battery
Remember the 8 hours and 40 minutes test I mentioned before?
They still had 30% left each.
I don’t think you needs more explanation about this section 😜
🤔 What I didn’t like
It was honestly really hard to find something I don’t like about this device. But yeah, a few things:.
They take too long to lower or raise the volume…
This also happened with other Ear models.
It’s super annoying and frustrating, because it takes half a second for haptic feedback, and a whole second just to turn the volume down by one. If you keep pressing, it takes another second to lower it more.
This is a problem because many times happen that I’m walking, and I enter a shop, I have to take them off or grab my Phone to lower the volume.
They feel kinda unstable in the case
If you shake it, the buds don’t seem to sit perfectly. They won’t fall out, even with the case open — but it still caught my attention.
5-10% less battery in one earbud than the other.
Not a big deal because the battery life is amazing, but yeah, it happens. Same thing happened with the 2024 Ears… and even with AirPods sometimes. So probably just normal.
Visible weld lines on the transparent part of the case
I mean, at the top, the top part really confused me — it even has a slight bump, and I seriously thought it was one of those peel-off stickers.
Conclusion
They are AMAZING. Literally, they are so versatile, they fit perfectly, you definitely love them.
Also, the design is unique. I can’t be more happy honestly! 🤩
