Open-ear headphones leave the ears uncovered while you listen. This Cleer Arc 3 review discusses comfort, awareness of surroundings and the case touchscreen, alongside the listening tradeoffs I notice.
The brand supplied the headphones. I describe using them for running, calls and longer listening. The touchscreen case offered more settings than the phone app at the time of my review.
