Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
Shokz OpenFit Pro
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds and the Shokz OpenFit Pro are flagship open-ear buds from their respective manufacturers. They're both oriented towards sports and active use, so both have comfortable fits and IP ratings that help them withstand some elemental damage. The Bose have superior stability, regardless of your ear shape. As with most open-ear designs, both buds struggle to reproduce bass frequencies well, but the Bose are able to render mid- and treble-range content more accurately. They also have a longer continuous battery life, which can come in handy on long bike rides. While the Shokz come with a noise reduction feature, it's highly ineffective and reduces the battery life significantly.
