Bose is willing to create an entirely new design if the current wireless earbuds aren't working for you. These wireless Sport Open Earbuds don't go into or over your ear canal. Instead they sit above it and let you enjoy the audio while still hearing the sounds of everything that is happening around you.
The design appears a bit unnatural compared to other headphones, but Bose assures that they'll be well-placed in all weather conditions, with clear, loud audio that you can enjoy without broadcasting it to the rest of the world. I'll need to hear reviews from experts in the field before I can be confident in the product. However, it's worth looking at a different headset that will fit better.
