Open Ear Headphones & Earbuds

The JBL OpenSound Advantage

Engineered for ultimate comfort, JBL’s open-ear headphones allow you to immerse yourself in your music without ear fatigue or that uncomfortable plugged-up feeling. Our design enables you to confidently hear ambient sounds like approaching traffic or important conversations, ensuring safety and making them truly ideal for active lifestyles.

Of course, this seamless integration comes with uncompromised audio: you get effortless Bluetooth connectivity combined with the renowned JBL sound, delivering balanced bass and crystal-clear clarity to every single track.

How it works

While some open-ear headphones might cause uncomfortable vibrations (that's bone conduction at play), our proprietary JBL OpenSound Technology uses clever air conduction. It precisely directs rich, full-spectrum sound waves straight towards your ears, meaning you get the legendary JBL audio with deep bass and crystal-clear sound, all without the jarring vibrations or the need to block your ear canal. It's pure, immersive sound, delivered naturally and comfortably.

Your sound, your privacy

We get it — your music is personal. That’s why our OpenSound technology also features an opposite phase to cleverly reduce sound dispersion. This means your music is for your ears only, keeping your vibe private when you’re out and about.
