Connectivity is terrible for some earphones . I bought nothing open and in the gym it wouldn’t connect but in other places it worked fine . I never had the same issue with my AirPods Pro or JBL rock headphones
Im using
- Shokz Run Pro when i run
- Nothing Ear (Open) when I commute or workout. Gamechanger.
- Soundcore Aerofit 2 pang harabas
- and Galaxy Buds FE for daily, travel and everything else.
If I had to choose just one, Galaxy Buds.
I'm really happy with my nothing ear opens.
Depending on your ear they might hurt under the helmet but for me its perfect. Personally its really important that the ear canal is open because of the elevation changes if the sound will cancel out at some point because the pressure gets too high.
The helmet inserts are also sweet heard only good things but its a bit expensive just to use for skiing.
Before the nothings i had sony linkbuds open but the nothings are way better.
i think you are talking abt sony xm5 buds, they are known to be uncomfortable.
anker liberty 5, it is a recent release, very light bud, with good sound. if you dont use anc, you will get a much longer battery life.
bose qc 2024, i use it without the fin tips, as they hurt my ear. this has good long battery life even with anc on.
above two are medium range price, recent release buds, very good value and all over quality for the money.
if you dont need anc at all, nothing ear open, is the best open ear earbud. it is also light and comfortable.
fit and comfort are not same for everyone. my friend uses small size eartip in left ear and medium size eartip in right ear. me saying that to note to you that it is not necessary for both ear eartip size to be same.
Nothing ear open, it has excellent sound, it is very well built. It has almost 8 hrs of buds battery life. For its top notch quality, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It is kind of weightless on my ear s
qcy melobuds n70, last i saw 50 dollars. it is somewhat serviceable.
i would highly recommend - anker soundcore liberty 5, i c most often around 90 dollars. it is a very good choice for around 100 price range. even at full price, it is good. you are not using the anc feature, the battery will definitely last you for a good long time. low sales , promotion times, i saw it around 66 to 75 dollars or sth. if you dont use anc, in the buds you get 12 hrs of usage. it has all the modern features properly implemented. app is also very good.
skullcandy method 360 anc, is also somewhat good choice, if u wanna go back to the same company. but it is a new diff app though. it is on the upper side of 100 dollars.
all above 3 earbuds are recent releases.
nothing ear open , is a very good open ear earbuds with excellent sound, within your budget range. it is one of the best open ear earbuds
personally i dont like skullcandy and earfun as a brand at all. but, comfort is a personal thing for everyone.
nothing ear open feel "weightless" because they don't squeeze anything. much more comfortable for long office day and everyday wear. in the buds they have 8 hr s of battery life. these buds sound and call quality is significantly better than skullcandy.
this skullcandy clip type, typically, becomes painful after 2 hours, for some ppl, coz it’s constantly squeezing the ear. this is like an earring. and like 6 hrs battery in the buds. nothing ear open is ok for sweat and rain, but, skullcanfy push 720 open is like fully waterproof. it is okay, if you like this, because you are familiar with skullcandy, you might be ok with it.
lets say after 1 yr of constant usage, battery goes minus 2 hr s. with this skullcandy you will have 4 hrs of battery and nothing ear open has 6 hrs of battery then. this is like a hypothetical worst case scenario type - this not really important

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
