Nearphones Open Ear True Wireless Headphones - Open Ear Earbuds - Bluetooth 5.3-24H Playback - IPX4 Water Resistant - Built-in Mic - Awareness & Comfort - Ear Clip Earbuds - HANP1T

First of all, I love how these look and feel! I wanted some open-ear earbuds that weren't so big, were attractive, had decent sound, were from a name brand, and were not as expensive as the BOSE options. For starters, I ordered the black and maroon and kept the maroon because I preferred the color. They look like jewelry. The earbuds paired to any device I needed them too right away. One plus? Physical buttons! The button controls are easy to use and responsive. The earbuds cuff around the outer edge of the ear. The size like with most open earbuds are slightly larger than most earbuds YET the case is very compact. Once inside the case, the earbuds are very tiny. No one seamed to notice me wearing them until I pointed them out, other than compliments on my new earrings. They stayed connected all day, and lasted about an 8+ hour day of constant wear. The earbuds open up to slightly clasp onto the ear but were comfortable. PROS Quick connectivity App controls Physical buttons Style and aesthetics Comfort: You won't know you're wearing them They do not fall out of your ear easily CONS Sound volume: Open-ear earbuds are designed to not go directly into the ear canal so that the person can still hear what is around them. Unfortunately, even for open-ear buds like the Oladance for example, these have abysmally quiet sound if in a busy environment or any environment not quiet like a library. The poor sound is the biggest con to me with these. The quality is good, the volume is not. NEUTRALS NEUTRAL: Price is lower than the BOSE but higher overall NEUTRAL: My item came without the box wrapped in paper like the black model. I inspected the buds. They were clean BUT the box was dirty! No instructions were included but the app has instructions included. Price: While cheaper than BOSE, BOSE is expensive for a reason. The sound quality here is good, but the volume is not. The build quality is good but again, the sound is the biggest boon or con to any earbuds. UPDATE TO 5 STARS FOR WATER SURVIVABILITY I dropped the left earbud in an empty clean toilet! I fished it out, dried it, disinfected the bud, blew in compressed air, baked it in a low-temp lab oven with active antimicrobial ions, air-dried, and powered off the earbuds... Lo and behold, it works and holds charge as if nothing happened despite being in water for at least 3 minutes and 100% ethanol for at least 30 seconds. It is not everyday you find earbuds that can survive water!

I previously tried uncomfortable "comfortable" cheaper ear cuffs but couldn't stand them. My husband recommended I try this JVC set. Wow. These JVC Nearphones are awesome and on a whole different level. They hinge for comfort, look sleek, sound great, charge quickly, aren't bulky, and have a well placed button on each earpiece for quick controls. The maroon set is a nice and warm color. Great for fall and my skin tone. Got these on sale with a coupon, so felt it was a good value. So excited to have these!

I've been using these for a month and can say I've gotten enough time with them to feel I made a very good purchase with no regrets. Initially, I was unsure if they would be able to replace my Pixel Buds Pro and I was right to be unsure. For starters, these don't have noise cancelling which can definitely come in handy in very noisy scenarios and I wouldn't recommend using these if you're wearing a beanie or anything that will cover your ears. With that out of the way, the sound quality is okay with these. It's not the best, but the fact that I can wear these for over 8 straight hours with NO fatigue is mind-blowing. I can turn them up loud enough to hear my music over multiple people speaking over each other at the same time. My ears don't get itchy or sweaty from prolonged use and that alone makes them an absolute daily essential for me. What's even better is that I can have a conversation without taking them off. Transparency mode exists, yeah, but it's never as good as being able to have close to full situational awareness. The battery lasts all day for me and I don't even need to recharge after using both earbuds at the same time for my 8 hour shifts. The app is OK and offers some nice options for customizing button presses as there are physical buttons in lieu of pesky touch controls on both buds, but is not necessary. I can only NOT reccomend these for anything involving phone calls as it seems to change how the sound is processed and it becomes kind of ear-piercing to have prolonged conversations. This includes voice chatting with Discord as well: anything involving the microphone seems to make the sound output really weird. I will say that my friends didn't mind the microphone quality, which surprised me. For videos and gaming, they do offer a low-latency mode, albeit the app is required to enable it. TL;DR Great for extended use. Not the loudest, but loud enough. Able to have conversations and hear surroundings well. Incredibly comfortable and I love the design. Calls sound kind of awful, but is nice in a pinch. Low-latency mode available with app.

Ive never tried headphones like this and wasnt sure hiw they would sound but from podcasts to music they sound incredible, loud enough to enjoy but not so intense like in ear earbuds are at higher volumes, i also like that even after hours they still feel comfortable. I like that both have a control button and with the jvc app you can program the 1-2-3-4 click controls for either side.

Had never had any outside ones I love because I can hear around me and hear my music! What a cool idea! Good sound!

Beautiful headphones Comfortable and cute Long battery life and match my skin tone Unfortunately low volume (poor sound quality)

I love these earbuds. If I lost them or they broke I would definitely buy them again. I wish they had more color options. I was never the kind of person that carried my earbuds on me all the time when I had in the ear buds but with these I find myself having them in all day long even if I'm listening to things or not. I love that I can still hear my surroundings and don't have to take them out when someone tries to talk to me. They're also super comfortable like other people say. With in-ear buds my ears would always eventually hurt no matter what kind of earbuds I got. But these almost never make my ears hurt only when I fall asleep laying on that earbud do I have a tiny bit of ear pain. I don't think they're waterproof but I've had a lot of success continuing to wear them when I'm in the shower with no issues. And they're inexpensive enough that if this eventually destroys them, now I know and I'll just buy another pair. The only critiques that I have are: 1. Sometimes the volume gets too quiet and I finally figured out if I go into the JVC app I can turn them back up again, whereas my phone volume button wouldn't turn it up any higher. And 2. The button controls on the buds don't always seem to do what I think they should primarily when I am wearing both earbuds and I want to pause on audible. Sometimes the button clicked pause doesn't work. I'm not sure why that is. There are different settings for if you're on a phone call versus listening to music and I'm not sure where audible falls on the devices controls. But if I only have one earbud in (which is most often), I'm only using one at a time. Then the controls are fine. This isn't enough to deter me from buying these again.

Pros: • The audio and microphone quality are excellent: clear sound with a well-balanced mix of bass and treble. • The open-ear design is perfect for those who want to stay aware of their surroundings while walking, working, or exercising. • The earcuff-style design is modern and lightweight—great for everyday wear and stands out with a stylish look. Cons: 1. The earcuff fit can become uncomfortable after long periods of use. In my case, I felt some pressure on my ear over time, though this may vary depending on individual ear shape. 2. Battery life is around 8.5 hours. For long routines like mine, it falls a bit short, but for average daily use, it’s reasonable. Conclusion: Despite those small drawbacks, I consider this an excellent purchase. The sound quality, functional design, and the ability to stay alert to your surroundings make these headphones absolutely worth it.
