1MORES51 Open Ear Headphones, Ultra-Lightweight Design, Secure Fit, Open Ear Earbuds Wireless Bluetooth, 40H Playtime, Bass More+ Technology, IPX5 Waterproof, Clear Calls, Game Mode

If you tend to use your headphones when commuting or running then open ear headphones can be a great option. Essentially, they work as if you have little speakers hanging by your ears and directing music towards them. This means that your ears aren't covered as they can be with earbuds or earcups and you can still hear your surroundings.These particular open ear headphones have a really cool design. Essentially, you have a little hook that keeps the speaker in place by your ear. The hook is made from a soft and bendable rubber material. This makes them very light and comfortable.In terms of sound quality, I was really impressed with how clear everything sounded. It was also pretty loud! Although I could hear the outside environment when needed, e.g. a car approaching when running or the announcement on a train, I was always able to enjoy the music I was listening to.Beyond this, I like the chunky case and how much overall battery the buds and the headphones have. For me, 40hours is about enough to last me about two weeks of running sessions and commuting to work. Only needing to charge every 14 days or so is great!

These are decent quality headphones. The sound quality is surprisingly good given the open ear style. You can easily hear your music and still hear all the outside noise which for me is essential when running in a busy town and park. They hold the ears relatively well given they don’t feel that tight when you first put them on and I had no issues with them getting dislodged even when running flat out. One slight issue is they don’t go very loud so it really is a case of hearing your music and the street noise rather than immersing yourself in the music. For me that’s not an issue as I bought them specifically for the safety aspect. I don’t think you can control the music from the headphones either which would be nice. All in all a decent set of lightweight headphones that are my go to set for running in town.

Really good earbuds as usual for 1More, for open ear earbuds they work super well and you get a very full sound from them, very pleased!

I'm torn regarding these- they are really comfortable- I left them on after I had finished listening to something and I forgot I was wearing them. Because they sit over the ear rather than in-ear you can still hear everything else going on when you aren't listening to anything so they work really well for someone who will want to dip in and out but doesn't want to be constantly removing them. However the instructions are minimal and I still haven't worked out how to turn them on or off other than placing them into the case and removing them. It says long press 5 seconds but this doesn't seem to work to turn on or off. This is really annoying. I also haven't found the button on the ear easy to work for other functions- you are supposed to double tap to play/pause or answer phone and press and hold to decline. Apparently you can change this with the app but I haven't tried this as I didn't want yet another app. I have also managed to accidentally knock them and have voice assistant try and open- the instructions say press and hold 3 sec to open this. Once in the case its difficult to tell how charged they are- there is a red/orange/green light but this simply shows <20, 20-80 or >80 which is almost useless and also the light doesn't seem very consistent- it will show green when my phone has told me they are on 30%. Once I managed to get them on they connected with bluetooth easily.

I ordered these headphones as I struggle with the in ear type due to having smaller than average ear openings. I've found these ones fit much more securely.As far as performance goes I do usually wear them when walking the dogs or exercising, the sound quality seems perfectly clear enough, yet I can still hear what's going on around me, which is essential when I'm out and about on my own.Comfort wise it took a little while for me to get used to the feeling of them, not because they weren't comfortable, but just because they are so different to in ear versions, now I'm fully used to them they are so comfortable it's easy to forget you are wearing them.Battery life is perfectly acceptable for me, but given that I only wear them for an hour or so before charging them I'm not able to say how long the maximum usage would be.Overall they are easy to operate, which is perfect for me, they connect reliably, are lightweight, comfortable and sound nice, so I'm very happy to recommend them.

Fairly easy to sync up, just open the case whilst the headphones are inside - if the front green light isnt flashing then press down on the headphones until it does and then just select from your bluetooth devices on your phone etc.The sound I found really good and plenty loud enough for me to use when cycling.When listening to music can pause / unpause easily by double tapping the headphone again.Battery life has also been really good so far and they remain secure on my ears and less likely to fall off/out compared to in ear buds.

Whilst these headphones are good, I think they are massively overpriced.I have a similar pair of over ear headphones that cost around £15 and I am struggling to see what I am getting with these for the extra money. The sound is good, but then, so is the sound in my cheap pair.My advice would be to shop around.
