Want the convenience of wireless earbuds but don't want to block out the world? You want a set of open-ear earbuds. These are the best.
It’s hard to beat the convenience of a set of wireless earbuds. Still, these devices all suffer from two major drawbacks: they sit inside your ear, where they can cause discomfort, and they generally block a lot of external sounds, which can be downright hazardous in certain situations.
Here are our recommendations for the best open-ear earbuds and headphones. We haven’t reviewed all of them, but we have tried them out, and each is worth considering as you make your buying decision. It would have been nice if Oladance had given the charging case wireless charging, but given how infrequently you’ll need to charge it, this is hardly a deal breaker.
Battery life is on the low side of a set of open-ear earbuds and there’s no wireless charging, but Shokz provides an app for iOS and Android with EQ and control customization options. The call quality is superb both indoors and outside, and Bluetooth Multipoint makes them ideal for moving between devices. Their 19-hour battery life is tied with the OpenRock Pro for the longest on the list.
Sivga SO1 Big physical buttons and wireless charging Cleer Audio Arc II Sport For sporty, hi-tech germaphobes Pros Cons You’ll be hard-pressed to find a set of open-ear earbuds with as many features as the Cleer Arc II Sport.
The Cleer+ app gives you a lot of control over the earbuds: preset and custom EQ, modification of the touch controls, the ability to turn on a reminder when you haven’t moved in a while, and another reminder if you accidentally leave your buds behind. Battery life, at 11 hours per charge and 38 hours with the case is excellent, and Bluetooth Multipoint makes them a solid choice for all-day use when switching between devices. 1More has always offered great app support for its earbuds and the Fit S50 are no exception. You get EQ presets and the ability to customize the touch controls.
1More Fit SE S30 Sound quality for those on a budget Soundpeats RunFree Ultra-affordable neckband model Pros Cons Soundpeats’ RunFree Open-ear Sports Headphones, as they're officially called, won’t win any awards for sound quality, but they’re an absolute bargain at $50 and they use a neckband design, which some folks will prefer.
Unlike the rest of our picks, the Linkbuds sit inside your concha like regular earbuds. But unlike regular earbuds, the LinkBuds have circular, donut-like speakers that let external sound in. The OpenRock Pro offer IPX5 water resistance, and they’re available in three colors. Their charging case provides excellent protection for the earbuds, but it doesn’t support wireless charging and it’s a bit on the bulky side.
Sanag Z50S Pro Max For folks with glasses Frequently Asked Questions Are open-ear earbuds better than regular earbuds? It depends. For sound quality and noise cancellation, regular earbuds are typically a better choice. But in areas like comfort, secure fit, battery life, and staying aware of your surroundings, open-ear earbuds have a distinct advantage.
