There are all types of earbuds and earphones for a variety of purposes. Some cover the ear while others go inside the ear. However, one style i tend to lean towards are the open-ear earbuds. EarFun, a brand I have used in the past and one which my son-in-law swears by, has recently released its latest product, which provides quality sound and without resting inside the ear and is available at a reasonable price.

How to Use the EarFun OpenJump
It is very easy to use the OpenJump open-ear wireless earbuds. Turn on your device’s Bluetooth, open the charging case, remove the insulating film, and then return the earbuds to the case. Depending on your device, select EarFun OpenJump and the earbuds connect. In the future, as long as you are using the same device, turning on the headphones will automatically connect to your device. You can even connect the earbuds to a second device at the same time. For example, I connected them to both my iPhone as well as my laptop. I could use my laptop for a zoom meeting or to watch a video and then answer my phone without having to reconnect from one device to the other.
Each earbud has a single touchpad. Tapping either one twice will play or pause the music or media. A single tap on the right or left earbuds will increase or decrease the volume respectively. Tapping the right earbud 3 times will advance to the next track while tapping the left earbud 3 times goes back to the previous track. Tapping and holding the either touchpad will activate the voice assistant, and tapping either earbud twice will answer or end a call.
The earbuds can be charged by placing them in the charging case. They take 60 minutes for a complete charge. The charging case charges completely in 2 hours when using the USB-C cable or within 3.5 hours when using a wireless charger. The earbuds can play up to 11 hours and when including charging from the case without it being recharged, the total play time is 42 hours.
The EarFun Audio App can be downloaded for free from the App Store or the Google Play store. The app provides more options. Game mode can be activated within the app which decreases latency to less than 50 ms. You can use the equalizer to select between default sound, preset equalizer with 10 different presets for different types of music as well as bass and treble, or use the custom equalizer to create your own style. You can also set your own sound profile where the app tests your hearing at different frequencies to create a custom setting to ensure you can hear all ranges of sound at the right volume. Theater mode widens the soundstage, providing an immersive surround sound experience while disabling the equalizer. The app also allows you to update the firmware for the earbuds and even customize the controls for each earbud and what different number of taps will activate. Finally, the app includes a find earbud feature that sends a loud sound to the earbuds to help you find them if they have been misplaced.
Why You Should Get the EarFun OpenJump
The EarFun OpenJump open-ear wireless earbuds have impressive sound. They are Hi-Res audio certified and support the LDAC audio codec. The sound quality is provided by 14.2 mm wool composite dynamic drivers, which recreate deep, rhythmic bass as well as penetrating treble. They also work great for taking calls or using them during a virtual meeting. The earbuds have 4 microphones which use an AI algorithm noise cancelling technology for clear calls. Finally, these earbuds are very lightweight, each weighing only 7.8 grams.
As a teacher, this year I have some students that I support via virtual meetings. So I took the opportunity to use the OpenJump earbuds during these meetings as well as around my home. I was impressed with the sound during the meetings and when I asked students on the other end if my voice sounded better when I used the laptop microphone or the OpenAir earbuds, they shared that the earbuds sounded better because they could not hear other noise in my room such as a fan or air purifier. In addition, since the OpenJump earbuds don’t fit inside the ear, I can still hear what is going on around me, especially when working with students in person and online at the same time. The earbuds are extremely comfortable, which is important when wearing them for longer periods of time. In fact, the earhooks are very narrow so I can wear them while also using my reading glasses without any issues. I have previously used a pair of open-air earbuds by another brand and while I liked them, they had thick earhooks which did not work well with glasses.
Podcasts, programs and music played through the OpenJump also sound great. When testing out sound devices, I usually turn to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture as a great test of their ability, and the earbuds performed well. However I also wanted to try out the theater mode so thought I would try official motion picture soundtrack from Wicked. It sounded like I was in the theater watching the movie. The app really does a great job letting users set up their earbuds as they wish. I like the ability to select from many different equalizer presets in the app so the settings are customized for various types of music. I have always been impressed with EarFun’s earbuds and headphones and have even given them as gifts to family members. They all love them. I recommend the EarFun OpenJump open-air wireless earbuds for those who are looking for a comfortable device that produces great sound quality for an affordable price. Check out their online store.
