Baseus Eli Sport 1: The Eli Sport 1 can be had for around $80. Although it may not sound as good as some of the premium open headphones out there – there can be a touch of distortion at higher volumes with traces of heavy bass – pretty decent sound for its modest price and I found it comfortable to wear. They look more premium than their price would indicate. They have 16.2mm drivers, are IPX4 splash proof and are rated for up to 7.5 hours of battery life at moderate volume levels.
Samsung Galaxy Buds FE: Carrying a list price of around $100, Samsung’s 2023 Galaxy Buds FE feature a single driver (Samsung doesn’t say what size it is), three microphones in each earbud and active noise cancellation. They ship in a case that’s the same size and shape as what you currently get with all of Samsung’s latest Galaxy Buds, including the Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. And it looks a lot like an updated version of Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Plus earphones, which also came with a set of interchangeable fins that helped create a secure and comfortable fit. Like those buds, the Galaxy Buds FE are sweat-resistant with an IPX2 water resistance rating that protects against splashes.
Bose Frames (Tempo) (Out of Stock): The Bose Frames are one of those products that you have to try to fully appreciate – or dismiss. The concept is that you get a decent pair of sunglasses with a pair of headphones that don’t go in your ears. Instead, micro speakers built into each arm direct a beam of sound to your ears. That design could be attractive to people who don’t like to have headphones in or in their ears and also offer a certain degree of safety for runners and cyclists who want their ears open to the world.
Jabra Elite 8 Active: Equipped with six microphones instead of four, slightly improved adaptive noise cancellation and wind reduction technology with a higher durability rating, the Elite 8 Active looks, feels and performs like a modestly updated version of the Elite 7 Pro and Elite 7 Active. Jabra makes them as “the toughest headphones in the world”, and based on our tests (they survived many drops without a scratch), that can be very true.
Soundpeats Air3 Deluxe HS: What makes these Soundpeats Air3 Deluxe HS buds special is that they sound surprisingly good for open headphones – they’re pretty close to what you get from Apple’s AirPods 3 for sound. In addition to this, they support Sony’s LDAC audio codec for devices that offer it. Not too many good open headphones sound good, but these Soundpeats have good bass response and clarity. They are also good for making calls and have a low latency gaming mode. Battery life is rated at 5 hours at moderate volume levels, and these are IPX4 splash proof.
