Best Open Ear Headphones

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds ($399)

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds offer a unique fit with an open-ear design. Rather than fitting inside your earlobe like most earbuds, they fit around your ear like a cuff. However, you'll still be able to play your audio loudly without disrupting those around you. These earbuds are ideal for those who want to prioritize comfort and find that their traditional earbuds fall out often. You get 7.5 hours of playtime per earbud and a total of 48 hours of playback time with the charging case. Although they offer an immersive audio experience with a crystal clear sound, these aren't equipped with the same noise-cancelling capabilities as other wireless headphones.

Editor Quote: "These headphones are dangerously comfortable, so much so that I almost stepped into my shower with them on the other night, blissfully unaware they were still attached to my ears (a testament to just how lightweight they really are). As someone with sensitive ears, I was initially concerned that the headphones would feel too heavy or clunky while on, but they actually feel much airier and functional than other earbuds I've tried. The buds magnetize effortlessly, so I don't have to play around with their fit or position them so that they feel more secure — once they're attached, they don't move, regardless of whether I'm walking, working out, or just lounging at home," says one of our editors in her Bose Ultra Open Earbuds review.

Best Noise-Canceling Headphones For an Immersive Experience

Sonos Ace ($449)

Sonos is known for their incredible speakers and soundbars that deliver an immersive, theater-like experience. And the brand's first pair of headphones does not disappoint. The Sonos Ace Over Ear Headphones offer active noise cancellation and Aware modes. Other features include dynamic head tracking, spatial audio, lossless audio, Dolby Atmos, and adjustable EQ by using the Sonos app. They have a 30-hour battery life, and comfortable cushion fit with superior sound that will make you feel like you're at a concert. In fact, if you have the brand's soundbar, you can pair the headphones with it for the Dolby Atmos audio experience.

Editor Quote: "These headphones have an incredible ability to block out noise pollution, whether it's the hustle and bustle of the city, a treadmill, or a plane's-pink noise hum — that too, without playing any audio. When I do play audio, the sound quality is chef's kiss. I'm transported to the world of whatever I'm listening to. I feel like I'm at The Eras Tour when I'm listening to Taylor Swift or at an IMAX movie theater while I'm catching up on "Love Island USA" at the gym. Plus, I can take calls with clear audio since it has a mesh layer over the microphones to help minimize noise from the wind," says one of our editors in her Sonos Ace headphones review.
