The Morning After Engadget
If existing designs of wireless earbuds have never quite worked for you, Bose is ready to try a new design. These wireless Sport Open Earbuds don't go in or over your ear canal. They are placed above your ear canal, allowing you to hear the music and still be able to hear the sounds around you.
The design appears a bit unnatural compared to other headphones but Bose claims they'll stay well-placed in all weather conditions, and will play clear, loud audio that you can hear without blasting it to the rest of the world. I will need to hear reviews from audio experts before I can be confident in the product. However, it's worth looking into a headset that fits better.
