Sony LinkBuds: was $179 now $138 @ Amazon
Open-ear headphones may be all the rage now, but Sony's LinkBuds were one of the first I encountered that allow ambient noise to freely pass through to your ear. There's no denying that the unusual design may not be for everyone but they come stacked with useful features, including Sony’s DSEE Extreme technology to upscale low-resolution audio, as well as 360 Reality Audio support. They sync up to the Sony Headphones app on iOS and Android, and work with smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant.
