My first experience with open wireless earbuds was not compelling. In fact, I called them “stupid.” Once word got out, audio brands were flooding me with their latest open-ear releases in hopes of changing my mind. My unsought collection of models, along with growing public interest, convinced my editors to assign me multiple reviews, which helped to change my opinion of the sub-category for the better.
Underrated entries like the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds and fitness-centric JBL Soundgear Sense showed me there was some value to using open wireless earbuds. I’m still on the fence about spending money to own a pair, mainly because the best wireless earbuds offer greater sound performance and more features.
