Affordable Sports Earbuds

The Allway OE10 Earbuds are Comfort-Focused with an Open-Air Design

'Allway' launched the 'Allway OE10,' a pair of comfort-focused earbuds designed to remain secure on one's ear, even during sports or active conditions. The earbuds do not situate themselves inside the ear like traditional earbuds, but rather take advantage of an open-air design where the earbud curves around the outer ear and floats just outside the ear. Allway compares this design to wearing a "personal speaker."

The open-air design is comfortable and prevents ear sweat during active conditions. Additionally, while riding a bike or other mobility device, the earbuds allow for optimal alertness as other sounds in the environment will not be blocked. The design is also adjustable, allowing it to fit any ear shape comfortably to form the perfect angle between the earbuds and the ear hook to deliver sound optimally.

Despite the high build quality of the Allway OE10, the earbuds boast an affordable price tag, retailing for only $89 USD. This is from 30% to 50% less than its primary competitors.
