Android flagships have no dearth of options when it comes to good earbuds. Most people prefer TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earbuds these days, thanks to the popularity of AirPods. However, there are more options that you can get if you are open to different form factors. On the rise these days are OWS (Open Wearable Stereo) earbuds, and Nothing is jumping early on the bandwagon with the new Nothing Ear Open.

OWS earbuds, popularly known as open earbuds, have tips that do not enter or seal the ear canal. Since the earbuds rest more gently in your ear, they often have designs with long over-ear stems that help keep the earbud in place and pack in more tech. The design also favors transparency by letting environmental sounds naturally enter your ear. Conversely, the open design often leads to sound leakage, no noise cancellation and compromised audio quality compared to more conventional earbuds.
