And unlike traditional earbuds that isolate you from the environment around you, OpenFit's open-ear design allows you to stay in tune with the world around you while enjoying your music or listening to a podcast. They feature flexible ear hooks made from special ultra-soft silicone, and it provides a cushioning effect that gently hugs your ears.
