I Finally Found Running Earbuds That Keep Me Aware Without Sacrificing Sound Quality

Running Earbuds That Balance Sound Quality and Awareness

I've found earbuds that keep me aware of my surroundings without sacrificing sound quality, and they stay firmly in place.

As a runner, music is a big motivator for me, but I've struggled to find earbuds that meet my needs. I've lost count of how many times I've lost an earbud mid-run, and I don't feel safe wearing over-ear headphones during early morning runs.

That's why I was excited to discover the Bose Open Ultra Earbuds, which feature an open-ear design that clips onto the side of your ears. This design allows me to hear my surroundings while still enjoying my music.

Like many runners, music is a big motivator that helps me push my speed and mileage.

The Bose Open Ultra Earbuds have solved two major issues for me: they stay firmly in place, and I can still hear what's going on around me.
