picked these up for like 90 on a flash deal last week and they've been pretty decent walking the dog in this crazy dry heat. the open ring thing lets me still hear the kids playing nearby which is nice but the fit gets a tiny bit loose after an hour. anyone else in az using them daily or am i better off with something that seals more?

yeah the open design is a lifesaver with two wild ones running around the house. i wear mine while on video calls from the backyard and can still catch if someone's about to knock over a plant or something. the heat here makes my usual buds slide right off after 20 minutes but these have held up better than i expected so far. only complaint is they get a lil dusty fast in the phoenix wind but nothing a quick wipe doesnt fix. hows the battery holding up on longer walks?

yeah ive been using similar open ear style on my early flights out of phoenix and they handle the dry air without getting that gross sweaty fit issue. the awareness part is clutch when im rushing through the terminal and still need to hear gate changes. only gripe is they slide a tad after an hour of walking but nothing a quick readjust doesnt fix. solid grab at that price tho
