These are cycling headphones with a light built in: LEDs run along the back of the neckband, so drivers pick you up before they are on top of you. Directional audio sits just outside the ear and leaves the canal completely open, so you still hear the road. Fifteen hours of playback, IPX5 against sweat and rain, 26 grams on your head.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 8.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eBike headphones that keep your ears on the road\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe Dashlyte+ uses directional audio, not bone conduction. Small drivers sit outside the ear and aim sound in, so there is no vibration against your skull on rough pavement, no pressure after an hour, and bass that survives a two-hour ride. The hooks loop over your ears and the neckband flexes, so the fit holds when you stand on the pedals. At 26 grams you stop noticing it about a kilometre in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 8.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eBattery, \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;\"\u003echarging and weather built for Canadian riding \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFifteen hours of playback on one charge, and 288 hours of standby if it sits in your bag between rides. A full charge takes about two hours; ten minutes on the cable gets you to 80% when you are already late. IPX5 sweat and rain protection handles spring drizzle, summer humidity and the long shoulder-season rides Canadians actually do. Dual ENC microphones cut wind noise so the person on the other end of the call does not hear the highway.

The Dashlyte+ does not do that, and that is why the bass holds together. What no bone conduction set at this price gives you is the light. If you want headphones with LED light for a dark commute, this is the model that earns its price — and once you have ridden with it lit up, a plain open-ear set on a November evening is a hard sell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OPN Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53461034664120,"sku":"OS4500BL","price":73.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/8401\/8872\/files\/opn-sound-headphones-dashlyte-sku-os4500bl-01.jpg?v=1781542430"},{"product_id":"opn-sound-aperto-os1000da-open-ear-running-headphones","title":"OPN Sound Aperto Open Ear Headphones for Running — Black (OS1000DA)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe OPN Sound \u003cstrong\u003eAperto\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pair of open ear headphones built for Canadians who run, ride and commute with one ear still on the world. Instead of sealing your ear canal shut, the Aperto sits just outside it and uses directional audio to aim sound where you want it. You get clear stereo, no ear fatigue, no muffled traffic, and none of the jaw buzz that comes with older bone conduction designs. If you have been looking at open ear headphones and were not sure they could actually sound good, this is the model to start with.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eBuilt for the way you actually train\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAt 28 grams the Aperto stays put through long runs and bike rides without bouncing or pinching. The IPX5 rating means sweat, and rain are not a problem, so you do not have to plan your workout around the forecast. Bluetooth 5.2 holds a clean connection out to 30 feet (10 metres), and a single charge gives you 10 hours of playback with 160 hours of standby between top-ups — enough for a full marathon training week. A full recharge takes about two hours. Among running headphones at this price, that combination of weight, battery and water resistance is hard to beat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eA quick word on safety and awareness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;\"\u003eWith the Aperto your ear canal stays completely open.

Bone conduction sends sound through the bones of your skull, which is why it can feel buzzy and why the low end tends to disappear. The Aperto uses directional air conduction — tiny drivers aimed into your ear from just outside it — which delivers a full 20 Hz to 20 kHz range with real stereo separation. Both designs leave your ear canal open and both keep you aware of your surroundings. Only one of them sounds like headphones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OPN Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53461034729656,"sku":"OS1000DA","price":30.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/8401\/8872\/files\/opn-sound-headphones-aperto-sku-os1000da-01.jpg?v=1781542430"},{"product_id":"opn-sound-chat-pro-os5050bl-open-ear-headset-boom-mic","title":"OPN Sound Chat Pro Wireless Headset with Mic — Open-Ear Office Headset, ENC Noise-Cancelling Boom Mic, USB Direct Connect Dongle, 17-Hour Battery (OS5050BL)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe OPN So\u003c\/span\u003eund \u003cstrong\u003eChat Pro \u003c\/strong\u003eis a wireless headset with mic built for the person who lives on back-to-back calls and is done with the dull ache that sets in after the third meeting of the day. Nothing goes inside your ears. The Chat Pro rests just outside them and uses directional audio to aim sound at your ear canal, so your ears stay open, the pressure that on-ear cups build up over a long day never starts, and you still hear the doorbell when the package arrives. It is an open-ear headset, not an in-ear one — and unlike bone conduction, there is no vibration against your cheekbones.\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eThe flexible ENC boom mic is the reason this is a headset with noise-cancelling microphone rather than just a pair of headphones. It swings into place beside your mouth and cuts the room out of the call, which ends the \"sorry, can you repeat that?\" loop that in-ear buds create in an open-plan office or a kitchen with a dishwasher running. A USB-A Direct Connect dongle is included: plug it into the computer and the headset connects on its own, which sidesteps the flaky laptop Bluetooth stack that causes most dropped meeting audio. Bluetooth 5.3 handles the phone side, with a 33 ft (10 m) range.\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 2.0pt 0cm 4.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eBattery runs 17 hours on a charge — a full working day with room to spare — and standby holds 150 hours. A magnetic charging cable snaps on; a full charge takes about an hour, and 10 minutes gets you to 80% if you forgot overnight. The whole thing weighs 36 g, which is roughly a AA battery, and an ergonomic loop hooks over and behind the ear so it stays put. IPX5 covers sweat and rain, so the same headset works for the walk at lunch.
