If the current designs of wireless earbuds have not been able to satisfy your needs, Bose is ready to try a new design. These wireless Sport Open Earbuds don't go through or over your canal. They are placed over your ear canal and allow you to hear the audio and still be able to hear the sounds around you.
The design looks a little unnatural compared to other headphones, but Bose assures that they'll be well-placed in all weather conditions, and provide clear, loud sound that you can enjoy without broadcasting the sound to the rest of the world. I'll need to hear reviews from experts in the field before I can be confident in the product. But, it's worth looking at a different headset that is more comfortable.
