Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active for $210<\/a>:<\/strong> The BlueAnt headphones are just a better buy in all regards, but I enjoyed these a lot. The noise canceling doesn’t work very well, but these headphones are attractive, and the bass is powerful. \u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Shokz OpenFit Pro for $250<\/a>:<\/strong> The Shokz OpenFit Pro<\/a>\u2019s sound quality is excellent; the buds are beautiful and comfortable; and I appreciate the physical buttons. That said, the open-ear noise-reduction system merely blunts outside noise rather than blocking it, so I don’t understand the value here. \u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro for $180<\/a>:<\/strong> The AeroFit 2 Pro<\/a> physically switches modes with its adjustable ear hooks to transform from open earbuds to noise-canceling ones. Unfortunately, I found the case to be too big, and the noise cancellation wasn\u2019t so effective. Still, it’s an interesting concept, and I do like being able to toggle the angle on the ear hooks for a more secure fit. \u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Oakley Meta Vanguard for $499<\/a>:<\/strong> Not only are they Oakley sunglasses with Prizm lenses for enhancing contrast and keeping you from tumbling head over heels on the trail, but they also have a 12-MP action camera<\/a> in the bridge of the nose, two over-ear speakers with a five-mic array for calls, and they integrate with Garmin to work as a (not very useful) fitness tracker<\/a>. That’s OK, because these are the best for moving at speed. They are 6 decibels louder than the Oakley Meta HSTNs<\/a>, and you can tell. They’re the only open headphones where I don’t have to turn the volume all the way up to hear podcasts when going over 20 mph. \u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Chamelo Music Shield for $260<\/a>:<\/strong> Chamelo’s audio sunglasses have electro-chromic lenses; you can change how dark they get with a finger slider on the arm. However, the music isn’t very loud, the battery life is much worse than the Vanguard, and they’re relatively expensive. \u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 for $100<\/a>:<\/strong> This is the upgraded version of the Go Air Sport above, with hybrid dual drivers for better sound, a higher IP rating, better battery life, and active noise canceling. You need a fully sealed fit for ANC to be effective, which these don’t have; I can still hear people at the gym when I’m lifting weights. Still, in every other way, these headphones meet their promises, and they do feel secure. \u2014Adrienne So<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
