Open Ear Headphones - TTQ Open Ear Bluetooth Earbuds with 36H Playtime

Our review of the TTQ Open Ear Headphones finds them best for active users who need situational awareness while listening. The single biggest reason to consider these earbuds is the open ear design with soft earhooks that let you hear ambient sounds while delivering solid audio and a long battery life; this makes them especially useful for runners, cyclists and anyone who dislikes in-ear isolation. The IPX7 waterproofing and Bluetooth 5.3 connection combine to keep the earbuds reliable during workouts and in wet conditions.

Key Features

• Open ear design: Lets you stay aware of traffic and surroundings while listening so you can train outdoors more safely.
• IPX7 waterproof: Provides protection from sweat and rain, so workouts and runs in bad weather are less of a worry.
• Bluetooth 5.3: Offers a fast, stable wireless connection that reduces dropouts during activity.
• 36H total playtime: The earbuds deliver up to 8 hours of music and the charging case extends use to 36 hours for long days away from a charger.
• Dual-mic noise cancelling: Improves call clarity by reducing environmental noise for clearer conversations on the go.
• Physical controls: Tactile buttons let you answer calls, control volume and playback without fumbling with a phone.

Who It's For

The TTQ Open Ear Headphones are aimed at runners, cyclists and gym-goers who need to remain aware of their surroundings while enjoying music and calls. The soft, flexible earhooks and open design make them comfortable for extended wear, and the waterproof rating suits sweaty workouts and light rain.

People who prefer full noise isolation or deep in-ear bass may want to look elsewhere, since the open ear design intentionally reduces isolation. Those seeking audiophile-grade noise-blocking for commuting on crowded trains should consider over-ear or in-ear ANC alternatives.
