When you’re mountain biking, being able to hear your surroundings is crucial. This is precisely the purpose behind the design of open - earbuds with Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC). The concept of open - ear audio started with Bose’s audio glasses, which were used for listening to music, and later evolved into the open - earbud series.
Nowadays, an increasing number of earbuds are specifically designed for sports, emphasizing comfort. Many of them offer a playtime of over 10 - 20 hours, and with the included charging case, the total listening time can reach up to 50-100 hours. True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds also come with a mode without Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), allowing you to stay aware of your environment.
Keep an eye on our community reviews in the coming month. We’ll be testing six different products, including both open - earbuds and True ANC earbuds with varying decibel (dB) levels. The price range of these products spans from $50 to $300. We hope these reviews will give you a comprehensive understanding and help you make an informed decision before your purchase.
