1MOREFit SE S30 Open Ear Headphones, Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with 4 Microphones for Clear Calls, Sports Earbuds Split Design with Earhooks, IPX5, 30-Hour Playtime, 5.3, Black (EF606)

These hook over your ears without going inside you ear. I can also hear conversations when wearing. I like them.

I use these in a nontypical way. I am a mail carrier with about 85% walking on my route. Most of the time I am casing mail, loading, or walking my route, I have one of these on with music or a podcast. They are easy to use. Pop open the case, put one on (they resume pairing automatically), and start with the phone app.BATTERY Only on the worst overtime days have I had to swap earbuds because the one I am using has discharged, so I am getting 8 hours on a charge without resorting to the charging case, and they recharge quickly in the case. This is by far the best of the earbud-like tools I have used.SOUND QUALITY I can't discuss sound quality like an audiophile because I either have the music turned down so I can hear coworkers or customers or have the podcast turned up so I can hear it clearly. I don't use it when driving, but the times I have forgotten, I can't hear it well over the LLV engine (if you've ever heard a mail truck, you know what I mean). The times I have taken them shopping or doing yardwork on my day off, I have had great sound quality, especially for podcasts.CONTROLS I have had a little problem with the tapping controls on the buds themselves. Often, they interpret the tap as the "ask your phone a question" prompt, not a pause and continue function. I usually wait until my hands are empty between loops to use the phone app's controls instead. That's my ding from a 5 to a 4.

Bought Sept 2024, they are my favorite. I have 2 Bose over ear headsets and 2 sets of in ear phones. This ear set is great, easy connection for tv and phone use (works great on calls). I share one with my wife so we can both listen while in restaurants.

One of the headphones has a popped speaker, right out of the box. It crackles constantly.They also don't like to connect on the first try. I often have to re-seat them in the case and take two or three attempts to get them to both connect.If the right one worked like the left one, and if they would connect reliably, a reasonably good value product. Sadly, not so great.Update: having used these for a few weeks, they are hot trash. Unending pairing problems. The ear pieces often won't pair together, disconnect at least once *every time* I use them. Total garbage.

so much better than sticking something in my ear

Work great for running, and working out. I was apprehensive about whether they'd stay on my ears while running. I sweat a lot, and typical runs are anywhere from 30-90 minutes. These have never been even close to falling off my ears. The fact that they're on your ears instead of in them means you can hear your surroundings more too, which is great for running. I didn't do 5 stars because they can be a little finnicky about sitting in the charging case just right. If the charging nodes don't make good solid contact in the case, then they don't turn off/disconnect from your phone, and that can be annoying. It happens maybe 1/3 the time. Just have to take em out and put them back into the case, maybe be a little firmer and press a bit when setting them in. I'd still buy them again for sure.

The media could not be loaded. Bought these for my husband. He is very picky when it comes to Bluetooth devices. He does wear glasses and hats all day long so, they kinda have to fit his needs 100%. Not only are they still comfortable well wearing face and head accessories, they are very sleek and cool looking. Operating is very easy and to pair up as well.

To be fair, they worked and the sound was pretty good. Open ear isn't quite true. It just means they don't go INTO the ear, they sit on top but still cover the ear canal.My real beef is there is no volume control and the pause stop button only worked occasionally . Most of the time it would detect a double or triple click and launch Gemini or whatever. Returned these
