Purchased the Ear Open a few months ago. At first I was really not sure how the sound and fit would be with them being open ear buds. But I was very intrigued by the design and how they don’t go in your ear canal. My first thought was these might be perfect to mow the grass with and wear my sound protection headphones on top of them.
That turned out to be the perfect combo! The sound is amazing. They sound like they are actually inside your ears! They fit perfect over my glasses also. The Nothing X app is pretty fantastic too! They are pretty much the best earbuds you can get with a perfect transparency mode if thats what your looking for. I can wear them sitting on the couch while gaming but still hear my Wife if she needs something. At Work? Yeah they are perfect there too! I can listen to podcasts while working or videos but still hear my desk phone and co-workers around me!
I love these earbuds so much that I picked up another used pair to have one for outside yard work and another for inside! I’m just truly blown away by them. No more ear fatigue by having something in your ear canal constantly plugging your ears up. Yeah I don’t get ANC but for my use case I’d rather have transparency than ANC. If I want ANC Id rather use over the ear headphones. Id love to test the Headphones (1) but they’re out of my price range for now. I truly hope Nothing keeps making the Ear Open and maybe even a successor next year!
