Walmart

Why it's my top pick:

Very secure ear-hook design for running

Best premium sound

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

These have some of the richest audio you'll find in an open-ear design. They're excellent for walking and casual exercise, though many runners find the Shokz fit a bit more confidence-inspiring during faster workouts.

Best budget

JLab JBuds Open Sport

$55.99 · JLab

A solid choice if you're under about $60:

If I were buying today

Best overall: Shokz OpenFit 2

Best value: Soundcore AeroFit 2

Best under $75: JLab JBuds Open Sport

If you primarily run on roads or shared trails, I'd lean toward Shokz OpenFit 2 because it combines excellent awareness, a secure fit, and consistently strong comfort over long distances. If you're trying to stay closer to $100, the Soundcore AeroFit 2 is the best value.
