Hear
Keep the music. Hear the car.
In-ear buds block out the bike behind you, work loose when you sweat and get uncomfortable on long runs. Open-ear earbuds sit outside your ear canal, so you hear your music and the road.

The problem
Why runners switch to open-ear
In-ear buds were made for the sofa and the train, not for the road.
You can't hear traffic
A car, a cyclist's bell or another runner can be right behind you before you notice.
The fixOpen-ear sound: the music goes in, the world stays audible.
Buds that fall out
Sweat and bounce work them loose, so you spend the run pushing them back in.
The fixA clip that holds on the outside of your ear.
Sore, blocked ears
On long runs, the pressure inside your ear canal starts to hurt.
The fixNothing inside your ear canal at all.
The gear
Open-ear audio
Every product ships with tracking and comes with 14-day returns.

Tips
Run safer with music
Set the volume so you can talk
If you can't hear yourself speak, it's too loud for the road.
Find the sweet spot
Move the speaker until it sits just in front of your ear opening. Small changes make a big difference to the sound.
Charge in the case
Put them back in the case after every run and they're ready for the next one.
Questions
Can other people hear my music?
At normal volume, hardly. At high volume in a quiet place, people right next to you may hear a little. That's the trade-off for hearing the world around you.
Will they stay on when I run?
Clip holds on the outside of your ear instead of sitting in your ear canal, so sweat doesn't work it loose the way in-ear buds can.
Can I take calls?
Yes. Built-in microphones let you take calls without stopping.
Will they work with my phone?
They connect over Bluetooth to any phone that supports Bluetooth audio.
Can I return it?
Yes. You can cancel within 14 days of receiving your order, for any reason. See Shipping & returns.
