The best bone-conduction headphones may be grabbing much of the attention in the headphones market right now, but I confess that I’m not a fan of the open listening style, nor of their 'air conduction' open-ear wireless earbud rivals. In fact, in 2022 I wrote about why I think open-ear wireless earbuds are stupid for our sister site laptopmag.com.
My reviews on early open-ear models including the Bose Sport Open Earbuds and Sony LinkBuds WF-L900 didn't sell me on the concept, nor did they convince me that the style was the future of wireless audio for the earbuds market.
