Tech company Baseus has launched the AirGo AS01, a pair of open-ear earbuds that put an interesting spin on the design of traditional style we're used in the best earbuds.The AirGo AS01 headphones aren’t inserted into your ear canal for stability like most true wireless earbuds on the market. But they don’t fit around your ear with a hook or head with a band like other alternative designs that you'll find in the best bone conduction headphones either.
Instead, they have a unique mechanism that ‘clamps’ them onto the side of your ear, meaning they then stay in place with tension as they’re only light at 4.6g per bud. Although Baseus’ approach isn’t common, this clamping mechanism has been found in other models like the Huawei Free Clip and Bose Ultra Open Earbuds but much more affordable – whether that’s a good thing or not remains to be seen.
