These look really interesting for playing games and still be able to hear my partner next to me over the sound.

How are the headphones with glasses? I've been trying to find open ear headphones that still work well with glasses, and I've tried the Bose Ultra Open, but they've been pretty buggy for me.

As someone who has preferred the Galaxy Buds Live for a few years now, this is a cool device. I prefer the Buds Live because I like the stealthy look where it's not immediately obvious you're wearing buds. The Nothing Ear Open might end up being better overall, but visually I don't like how much they stand out. I've heard bone conducting earbuds are also pretty good, but haven't looked into them much

[@jvtechtea]

Most bone conduction earphones will have the same conspicuous look as the Nothing Ear (open), to be fair

[@podracer35]

@@jvtechtea that's very true

[@JaneFerm]

Yo mate i like the design of the buds❤

[@ahmadahmad-bw6vg]

Thank you for you videos and your answers please tell me does nothing ear open is good enough for blaring music or loud music or not

[@SiverJohn]

Since I know you reviewed the linkbuds (which i have), what are your thoughts between the linkbuds (or Sony's more recent offerings) and these?

[@jvtechtea]

I'm planning on doing a video on the new LinkBuds lineup soon, I will give thoughts on that then :)

[@davidyang9902]

@@jvtechtea any chance you can throw the bose opens in the mix? i tried those at a store and the bass was surprisingly good given the noisy environment i tried them in but i havent committed to buying

Joshua - how do you compare the huawei freeclips to these?

[@BrianHartman]

I think the *idea* of open ear earbuds is fine. They have their place. But when you consider everything these earbuds *don't* give you, I don't think you can justify $150. First of all, they have to be graded on a curve. "...for open ear earbuds." Whether that's bass or sound quality. Because they're open ear earbuds, there's no ANC or hi-res codecs. I would actually applaud them for leaving those out -- except the earbuds are priced as if they had them. I understand that there are people who find in-ear earbuds uncomfortable or even just plain can't wear them. There's a market for these. But I've seen open ear earbuds for $50. At that price, I think they're reasonable, but not for $150.

What about glasses? Does it bother you after wearing them with glasses for a long time?

[@jvtechtea]

I wear very lightweight glasses, so it hasn’t been a problem for me. The earhook sits on top of the glasses arms in my case

[@jpoodle]

I wonder if the Nothing Ear (stick) sounds similar to this (open)

[@jvtechtea]

Pretty similar! I think they're fairly comparable, with the fit being the main way that they are different.

What kettle are you using? ,looks very cool
