Over the past few years, TWS earbuds have dominated the personal audio market. However, their inherent "noise isolation" design, while providing an immersive listening experience, sacrifices users' safety and comfort.
Entering 2025, Open-Ear Earbuds, or OWS, are quickly shaping up to be the next big thing in audio---and for good reason. What makes them stand out is how they balance sound and situational awareness. Instead of pushing audio into your ear canal like in-ear buds or using vibrations like bone conduction models, OWS relies on clever ear clip or ear hook designs. For B2B buyers, whether for corporate gift wholesale or vertical retail distribution, OWS represents an unsaturated, high-value emerging market opportunity.
As a leader and core supplier in this emerging technology trend, HAVIT is ready to provide the most competitive products and solutions for your business.
Scene 1: The New Favorite in Corporate Gifts - OWS is a Better Choice than Ordinary Headphones
In the highly competitive corporate gift market, what you need are innovative products that can stand out and reflect your company's forward-looking and humanistic care. OWS headphones are exactly the ideal choice.
Innovation and Forward-looking:
Gifting OWS headphones to customers or employees can immediately demonstrate the company’s keen insight into the latest technology and convey an innovative and dynamic brand perception, rather than giving a common and uninspired traditional TWS.
Practicality and Safety:
Office Scenario: When employees wear OWS to listen to music or conduct online meetings, they can hear colleagues' calls or emergency notifications without removing their headphones, greatly enhancing work efficiency and safety. Open-ear headphones promote situational awareness, reducing potential workplace hazards.
Commuting and Outdoor Activities:
For employees who frequently commute or engage in outdoor activities, OWS ensures that they can perceive environmental sounds such as car horns and bicycle bells while enjoying music, providing a safer wearing experience.
Brand Display:
OWS's unique earhook/earclip design provides a prominent and stylish display position for the corporate logo. When employees or customers wear it for business networking or daily activities, your customized logo becomes a high-end "walking billboard" with continuous exposure.
Scene 2: The Growth Engine of Segmented Retail - Empowering Specific Retail Channels
OWS headphones perfectly address the pain points of specific consumer groups in using traditional headphones, and are an excellent category for vertical retailers to drive sales growth.
Sports and Fitness Chain Stores: The Perfect Solution for Safe Listening
For outdoor sports enthusiasts such as runners, cyclists, and hikers, perceiving environmental sounds is crucial for life safety. The open design of OWS perfectly meets this need, making it:
Sports Retail Store: The "Must-Have New Product" Beyond Traditional Sports Earphones.
Gym: When members attend fitness classes or use equipment for training, they can both benefit from coach guidance and communicate with personal trainers.
Health and Wellness Channel: A More Hearing-Friendly Option
Compared to in-ear headphones, which may cause pressure on the ear canal or potentially affect hearing when worn for extended periods, OWS's non-in-ear design is considered a healthier choice.
Emphasizes comfort and hygiene: The whole machine is designed with skin-friendly materials, ensuring no foreign body sensation in the ear canal even after long-term wearing, making it especially suitable for user groups with high requirements for hearing health (such as elderly users and long-term phone users).
