#19 Shokz OpenDots 2

Pros: Frequency response accuracy, Codec support

Cons: Smudge resistance, Firmware/audio stability

#24 Shokz OpenFit Pro
3.9

Most people can wear the hooks with glasses, caps, helmets, or beanies without trouble. Some glasses wearers feel pressure where the hook and frame overlap.

Pros: Maximum volume clarity, Audio-video sync accuracy

Cons: Sustainability and repairability, Smart Pause performance

#26 Marshall Milton A.N.C.
3.8

Pros: Multipoint connectivity reliability, Codec support

#31 H2O Audio RIPT Ultra
2.0
