"Next, I'm overstimulated and require either silence or the calmest ambience delivered at arm's length away from my precious ears. Because of this, I've taken to open earbuds nicely. Pairs like Nothing's Ear Open or Bose's Ultra Open deliver rich sound with a healthy distance. When I tested these earbuds out, I had no trouble going on long walks with them in, as I tuned into my environment while listening to my music."
"The Nvm open-ear headphones resemble normal headphones, except that their centers have been cut out. The ear pads in a standard headphone are replaced with shiny coned speakers in these. Because these headphones don't cup my ears and instead rest inches away from them, the pressure buildup or sweaty ear syndrome associated with heavy noise-canceling, over-ear headphones is nonexistent in this pair. This makes them maximally comfortable and effortlessly light to wear on walks, to the gym, and at work."
