Open earbuds are the most ubiquitous of the new breed, with nearly every major audio brand offering a version for better and, often, for worse.

Sony ’s Linkbuds provided the best experience with the least compromises I’ve tried thanks to solid sound and a relatively comfy fit.

With a great fit and class-leading sound, these pricey open-ear buds have me hooked.

The biggest pain point is clipping the buds on, which takes some getting used to.

Bose’s Ultra Open earbuds are the best noise-canceling headphones.

They can also be used to keep aware of others at the gym.

Bose has been working on additional ways to give its pricey buds a higher value quotient.

The Ultra Open Earbuds aren’t always the right choice.
