Clip-style open earbuds hook onto your ear, and don't go into the ear canal – they're really comfortable, they leave you able to hear the world around you as well as your music, and they sound superb.

My fiancée uses her OpenFit Air open earbuds everyday because of their comfortable design, solid audio, and decent battery life. They're an excellent budget open earbuds pair, especially thanks to this year's Black Friday sales.

The Shokz OpenDots One open earbuds are one of my go-to pairs of headphones right now because of their design.

Sitting like an ear cuff, these buds securely hook around my ear in a way that’s both comfortable and secure – I work, walk, commute, and exercise wearing these buds with no trouble – and because they lack an over-ear hook, they don’t get in the way of my glasses, which can be an issue with other open ear designs.

Audio-wise, I think they boast a solid sound quality with a well-defined lower register and yet a treble that can still hold its head high, to borrow some apt descriptions from our Shokz OpenDots One review.

Plus, the open ear nature is ideal for enjoying your tunes while also staying aware of your surroundings – which I've found is ideal when I’m on a run, working, really every situation where I don’t want to be completely closed off.

For my fiancée, the OpenFit Airs are the go-to thanks to their comfortable design and solid performance – similar pros that I’ve levied at the OpenDots, though, as you’d expect the pricier Dots are better in terms of audio performance and battery life.

That said, at half the cost of the OpenDots, the OpenFit Airs are a really solid pick up if you’re on a tighter budget, and she uses hers every day, so you can take it from us that they’re a pair you won’t be disappointed by.

This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the AirPods Pro 2, and it's an astounding value for earbuds this good. They sound superb, they have high-tier noise cancellation (though not as good as the Bose above), they have an unlose-able case, and they have the newer Live Translation and hearing aid features that also feature on AirPods Pro 3.
