Purity Air Open Ear Headphones - True Air Conduction Wireless Bluetooth Open Ear Earbuds with Dual Mic for

I would buy these over and over again! Easy to wear without pressure or ear fatigue. The sound is terrific, very clear with distinctive tracks. Pairs easily. Easy to use. I just used them on a week long trip to Europe and could sleep with them on. Never any discomfort and I could still hear when people spoke to be. The charge lasts a long time. Comes with two charging cords. The only negative things are the proprietary charging cords and the LOUD volume telling you "Power On" and "Power Off". It helps you hear it when you aren't wearing them. Read more

I have owned and used a number of wireless ear and headphones over the years -- going all the way back to Plantronics Back Beat Go's, Earins, Trelabs, Galaxy Lives, Cambridge Audios and Apple AirPods. Honestly, it's been a thing with me and I've spent way too much money over the years chasing my wireless grail, especially for air travel and exercise situations. When I was offered the opportunity to try out Purity Air Open Ear Headphones, I honestly wasn't expecting much at that price point. Oh boy, was I wrong. The Puritys (sp?) are easily the most comfortable ear phones I've used. They just float above your ears but always remain snug enough to stay in place. Some serious thought has gone into the design and fabrication of the band connecting the two ear pieces, that's all I can say. Easy to put on, easy to take off, no interim adjustments needed. I was also really surprised at the sound quality. It is really outstanding -- good sound reproduction, deep bass, accurate highs. My guess is that the extra space in the earpieces have allowed Purity to use drivers that are larger than normal compared earphones that fit in your ear, and additional size definitely sounds like it in terms of easy and accuracy of reproduction. They also have plenty of volume and I had no difficulty answering phone calls with them. And as a bonus, all the sound reproduction goodness coexists effortlessly with the ability to hear ambient sounds around you and maintain situational awareness. So far battery life seems great and I am look forward to using these on a regular basis for walking around the neighborhood with my dog, where situational awareness is important. Two small niggles. First, the controls could be a little bigger, especially if you're a less than graceful male with big fingers. They're not awful. They could just be larger. Hopefully the next version will have bigger controls. Second, the earphones use a proprietary cable to charge. The good part is that the cable uses gold contacts that eliminate any penetrations in the Purity's shell. Put they're proprietary, so you can't use a USB-C or micro-USB cable. One more cable to carry around -- although thoughtfully two cables are provided with each purchase. Overall, highly recommended if you're looking for something that's comfortable, secure, has good sound and you aren't likely to loose down a drain or other hazard, and all at a very reasonable price.

Overall for the price, this is a nice, lightweight, inexpensive device with really good sound and comfort. Comfort Very light weight. They fit over the ear and around the back of your neck. It is not adjustable, but seems to be plenty of room to fit around all different head and neck sizes. Looking up and down while wearing a hooded sweatshirt does sometimes hit the back of the arm that fits around the neck, but it does not move the speakers around your ears, at least it did not for me. The fact that it sits over the ear and then in front of the ear is nice. The ear pods that go into your ear can become uncomfortable over long periods of time, so this is a nice change of pace without sacrificing sound. Sound I thought the sound was nice, good treble and bass. It did not blow me away with the clarity, but I thought it sounded really good. I'm not sure they were really noise canceling because I could still hear things around me, which I do not mind because if I were to use these while jogging or something else, I could still be aware of my surroundings with my ears without losing focus of what I am listening to. Because they sit infront of the ear and not inside of the ear, the sound was audible to other people. I tried it at different volumes, ranging from comfortable to me to extreme loud, and regardless of the volume, others could hear the sound. This may not be an issue, but depending on where you are using them, it could be. I have not tried using these for calls yet. Usage Powering on and pairing was very easy, no issues. There are two buttons and it is a a matter of getting used to which is the power button. Using the volume buttons up and down was awkward and found that if I pressed too hard or held down it skipped to the next song. That said, I normally don't use the buttons on the headphones and typically use the buttons on the device that I am using so I am not sure if this gives the best review of button pressing. I was able to pair to multiple devices, although not hooked to different devices at the same time which is understandable. When a device is disconnected on one device, it immediately goes into pairing mode, or you can connect to your other device through the bluetooth settings. Price The price was very reasonable for the quality of item received. Cons The charging for the headphones uses a proprietary cord. This is annoying because it means you have to keep track of another cord and cannot use what you already have, or use the same cord for your multiple devices. The device does come with two charging cords which is an added bonus so that if one does go bad, you do have a backup so you don't need to worry about securing an additional cable. That said, the price of the headphones as a whole is cheaper than some cables out there so overall it is not that bad of con to deal with. Read more
