"The open wearable stereo (OWS) market gained serious traction over the last two years, and just about every brand has its own entry now. While traditional earbuds come with the tried and tested plug form factor, which sits inside your ear, the OWS models position their drivers right at the tip of your ear canal. The result is raised awareness of your surroundings at the cost of subpar passive isolation."
"OpenWear Stereo Pro is the latest offering from Xiaomi, and it aims to one-up its competitors by offering a more premium build while still retaining its open-fit system. Xiaomi is promising impressive claims of reduced sound leakage and extraordinary battery life rated at 8.5 hours from the buds and up to 45 hours alongside the charging case. So, are the OpenWear Stereo Pro worth their €150/£140 asking price or are you better off with a traditional pair of in-ear buds? These are our findings."
Open wearable stereo design positions drivers at the ear canal tip, increasing environmental awareness while reducing passive isolation. OpenWear Stereo Pro pairs an open-fit system with a premium metal and plastic finish and claims reduced sound leakage plus battery life of 8.5 hours per bud and up to 45 hours with the charging case. The buds use a TPU connection to a rear bulb and feature shiny plastic that attracts fingerprints. A swooping ear-hook and three-point support distribute pressure evenly and keep the buds secure during runs. Each earbud weighs 9.8 grams and the case 53 grams, totaling just over 73 grams, delivering comfortable, stable wear.
