This is just the bare minimum.
Dont worry if that sounds like a lot to look out for.

They also offer industry-leading active noise cancellation and impressive adjustable EQ prefs.

The twist-to-adjust stabilizer is far from a gimmick.
It gives the buds their snug, ear-hugging fit.
The sound profile is impressive, with the deep, punchy bass being the star of the show.

And the noise-canceling is so powerful that you feel transported into a private vacuum.
Just dont expect too much from the Gemini integration.
The two driversbone conduction and air conductionare decoupled, which means they work independently.
This offers two major benefits: reduced vibrations and improved bass.
Im pleased about the switch to throw in-C charging on the second-gen OpenRun Pros.
Most Shokz sports headphones have featured magnetic charging so far, including the first-gen OpenRun Pros.
The charging time is still one hour, and the dust and water resistance is still IP55.
I prefer higher water resistance, at least IP57, for headphones designed for rough adventures.
They come docked in a small, inconspicuous 40-gram charging case.
With a glossy exterior, the case is thankfully not a magnet for fingerprints.
The Galaxy Buds FE fit pretty snugly.
I used these buds in the noisiest parameters I could think of and was pleasantly surprised.
You also get both multi-point connectivity and mono-listening.
OnePlus newest buds are also IP55 rated against water and dust.
Dont expect any bells and whistles in terms of design, though.

The modest case features a plain (boring), fully matte body.
These buds are so beautiful it hurts.
The sapphire glass and aluminum earbud body is well-crafted and robust, offering excellent attention to detail.
The ANC on these buds works well for my daily Subway commute.
The loud sound of the engine and the hum of people chit-chatting were all successfully muted.
My colleagues chatting next to me at my workplace were utterly silenced, too.
M&D considerably bumped up the battery life on these buds.
We saw 42 hours on the last two models and an impressive 48 hours on these.
The ANC has also received a massive upgrade and is astoundingly good on these.
I also have a minor gripe with the volume control, but I wouldnt call that a deal breaker.
You will enjoy these if you only care about dramatic bass and nothing else.
The subway station is my ultimate litmus test of ANC, and these passed the test pretty well.
I certainly believe the $250 price tag on these makes sense.
And in terms of design, nothing on the market looks like the Ultra Open.
