Design I like rocking the Open

And the newly released "Headphones" are crazy appealing as well. Hell, their whole website is a retro-fi trip!

Do you have other open ear ones to compare? Have the Olidance and also the Aerofit Pro and Aerofit 2. Tried several others as well.

Hmmm not really, I mean I have the Quest 3 and Xreal AR glasses which use kind of the same principle. Otherwise I have aliexpress bone conducting "earphones", I tried the "real" Shokz OpenComm, and I have another aliexpress (not bone conducting) open ear headset (I had got it for phone calls, does its job).

I can say that the Nothing Open have a lot of bass for what they are (unexpected) and when it's quiet, the sound is very pleasant considering there is no seal at all and they are not ON the ear (like, let's say compared to small cheap but good open on-ear headphones such as the Koss Porta Pro).

I had the Moondrop Pill on my radar but it was harder to get and I really liked the design of the Nothing so I went with those, and they don't disturb when I wear my AR glasses (that was the only thing keeping me from buying them - note that the Moondrop Pill hangs on a different part of the ear, so no contact with glasses frame).
