Open-Ear Bluetooth 5.4 Running Headphones for Calls

Yes, as long as you set them right. Snug the hook over the top of the ear before you start, then do a short test loop. After a sweaty session, wipe the earpieces and hooks with a dry cloth before you put them in the case.

The hook sits over the ear rather than in the canal, so a cap or a light helmet sits over it. Check the fit with your own helmet before a long ride, and adjust the hook if it sits under the strap.

That is the point of the open design. The earpiece sits outside the canal, so street noise, bikes and people calling your name still reach you while your music plays.

Open-ear audio trades some of the deep bass that a sealed in-ear bud delivers for awareness and comfort. The packaging highlights professional tuning for clear sound. If you want the heaviest low end, a wireless earbuds pair with a seal will sound fuller. If you want to hear the road, this is the pick.

The packaging claims 7H of music playback and 5H of call time per charge. The charging time is listed at 1.5H, and the case holds 400mAh of extra charge for the earpieces, which stores more power for the next session.

You get a pair and a compact case with premium materials, rose-gold chrome earpieces and a soft-touch case. Use them on every run, commute and call, and the cost per session drops quickly compared with replacing sport buds that leave your ears sore. Keep the case in your bag with a spare earbud case if you want to protect the finish.
