       #Reviews of open, not-in-ear #earbuds are always so badly done:"They don't support active noise cancellation!" the reviewer shouts, gesticulating wildly.No, because there is no seal with your ear canal, rendering such a feature pointless.  This is physics, not a poor product choice."Okay, but they don't have as much bass as my favourite thing that I have to screw deep into my lugholes."That's just physics again."Okay, but these are expensive, so I should recommend an alternative.  How about... some other thing that you'll have to dig into your scull."No.Some people (myself included) don't like their hearing being completely blocked off, reliance on a transparency mode that is probably terrible, the physical discomfort of something penetrating in towards their eardrum, having to try several sets of first-and-third-party tips, and the endless fiddling to get a good fit.  Stop trying to sell #AirPods Pro to those people.  However rare a more open design might be, it is a legitimate product category in its own right.  Comparing it to something it isn't aiming to be, every single time, is not helpful.

       Related: I just bought the #Shokz #OpenFit, on my endless quest to find #headphones that sit nicely about my person without requiring invasive surgery or flattened hair.  I'll possibly hate them, as I've hated every set of such headphones that isn't the non-Pro #AirPods.
