It seems open (back) IEM / earbuds are a growing trend!

Bose has released some that cost a small fortune and I just saw a review about these on ZNET:

so, who else has something like this or is working on having an option(s) to offer?

are they any good? their price is so low for something that says it has that many features and abilities.

I dunno, the most similar transducers I tried is the Sony Linkbuds (Non-S version) and that sucked badly…

These types of transducers are similar to the Bone conductor headphones (shokz), they are not meant for SQ and more for convenience/awareness.

I’m interested in something great sounding and cool too for when I’m at the mall so I can hear everything around me

If wired is fine, just go for a (Riku)Buds.

If you need BT, then mmcx/2pin bud/GAS3(MMCX) + TRN BT20 XS/Pro

Yeah I’m planning on getting a yellow themed Riku buds but for now to save money I have a “no buying IEMs until Mext is back” rule. So a month or two when UM receives it any day now

Well rather than money saving it’s more to temper the “I have to have it” feeling you get when you first jump in the hobby
