Best bone conduction and open-ear headphones

Bone conduction and open-ear headphones leave your ears uncovered, so you hear traffic and people around you while running, cycling or working. They leak more sound and have less bass than earbuds; a water-resistance rating matters for workouts.

Top 10 of 14 that qualify, from 292 headphones compared. Ranked by how often independent reviewers recommend them.

How we picked

We compared 292 headphones with real Amazon listings and kept the 14 that meet all of this:

Every pick fits, so the order is about what to look at first. Models that independent reviewers recommend come first, the most often recommended at the top. The rest follow, best known and best liked first, with the newest model of a line ahead of older ones. No brand pays to be listed or placed higher. Prices change daily, so we never print one; Amazon shows today's price.
