Silicone-tipped buds are not for everyone. If they make you feel too disconnected from the world or the snug fit just isn’t comfortable, open-ear headphones might be a better option. And while these aren’t usually as pricey as over-ear headphones, a good pair can still cost more than you’d expect. If you’ve been meaning to upgrade your listening experience on your outdoor runs or daily walks, JVC’s Nearphones are now down to just $30. That's a 63% discount off the original $80 price -- a rare win.
These lightweight headphones feature a "pivot motion" hook that ensures a secure fit, whether you're running or just walking the dog. JVC has packed the earbuds with 16mm drivers to offer three listening modes (normal, bass and high), and you can modify the settings using touch controls.

Bluetooth 5.4 ensures a stable connection, and since these are IPX4 rated, sweat or light rain won’t be a problem. These are also designed to minimize sound leakage, so while you can hear when someone is talking to you, you won’t have to worry much about everyone around listening to your music. You can enjoy up to 26 hours of playtime with the included charging case, as well.
This limited-time Woot deal lasts until April 29, or until stock runs out, whichever comes first, so there's not long left to snag this headphone deal if you want it.
