How is air conduction different from bone conduction?

Air conduction sends sound waves through the air to the eardrum from a speaker held outside the ear. Bone conduction vibrates the cheekbone instead. Air conduction usually sounds fuller; bone conduction leaks less.

Can I hear my surroundings while wearing them?

Yes. The ear canal stays open, so traffic, announcements and conversation come through alongside your audio.

Will people around me hear my music?

At moderate volume, little. At high volume, the open design leaks sound, so people close by may hear it.

Are they good for running and gym workouts?

Yes. They are light, hook over the ear and are sweat and water resistant, which suits running, cycling and gym use.

What devices can I pair them with?

Any Bluetooth device, including iPhone, iPad, Android phones, laptops, MacBooks and tablets.

Do they block noise on a plane or train?

No. There is no isolation, so engine and track noise compete with your audio. Sealed earbuds or over-ear headphones with noise cancelling suit travel better.

Our take on the Open Ear Headphones, True Wireless Bluetooth Air Conduction Headphones

The More More QH-008 is a true wireless open-ear headphone that sits outside the ear canal and sends sound through the air to the eardrum, so you keep hearing traffic, coworkers and conversation while music plays. The hook-style design is light and aimed at running, cycling, gym work and office use, and it pairs over Bluetooth with phones, tablets and laptops. Against bone-conduction rivals it uses air conduction, which generally gives fuller sound but leaks more at higher volumes; against standard earbuds it trades isolation and bass for awareness. Buyers rate it 4.3 out of 5 across 24 ratings, a small sample that points to satisfied but not universal approval.
