(open) your world

Blissfully aware

Ear (open)’s unique speaker design presents an open soundstage that blends in with what you’re doing. Whether it's the birds singing or a car coming around the corner, Open Sound Technology means you get to hear everything you want and need.

No pausing

Carry on listening. Ear (open) is designed to move with you throughout your entire day. Stay focused whilst still being available to those around you. A more organic way to listen.

Your ears only

Your personal audio is too good to share. Ear (open) is engineered with a Sound Seal System and directional speakers to ensure that you’re the only one who can hear. Sound waves at the front and back of the bud cancel each other out to keep your audio perfectly private.

Release the pressure

Ultimate comfort

Feels like Nothing

Weightless and secure

Ultimate comfort

Ear (open) is tilted at 50 degrees to position the speaker directly over the ear and at the point of most comfort. Feels like wearing nothing at all.

Feels like Nothing

Perfectly balanced across three points for a fit that feels like it's not there. Arranged from thin to thick, the ear hook is extra flexible and comfortable with a skin-kind silicone material.

Weightless and secure

Ear (open) is stabilised with a unique triangle structure. The ear hook features a nickel-titanium wire that makes it both flexible and resilient. At 8.1 g per bud, Ear (open) offers an extra secure, weightless fit that can withstand every run, cycle and skate. Or however you choose to move.

Immerse in sound

Stepped driver

While typical drivers are straight in design, we took the more challenging route and engineered a stepped driver to move the sound physically closer to your ear.

Custom diaphragm

The patent-pending diaphragm on Ear (open)'s driver is uniquely shaped so that it reduces distortion and deepens the sound of low frequencies so that bass-heavy tracks hit like they should.

Titanium coating

Now for the highs. We chose a titanium coating on the diaphragm for its lightweight and robust nature. The silver-hued top layer reproduces crisp high-frequency notes with flawless accuracy.

Ultra-light elements

Ear (open)'s driver is made up of components that are nearly 30% lighter than those used in typical earbuds. The unique lightness boosts mid and high frequencies by up to 3 dB resulting in a clear, more vibrant sound.

Bass Enhance

An automatic algorithm that detects music signals of low frequencies with speed and accuracy, and then adjusts the sound settings accordingly. For an immersive listening experience that goes deeper.
