these open air EarPods are my fave & would be such a nice gift - lots of colors, mine are $100 off right now. they allow you to hear what’s going on around you but no one can hear what you’re listening to - good if you walk or run or have kids around that you need to keep within earshot 🙃 sound quality is really good & they’re actually so much more comfortable than having an AirPod shoved in your ear canal. and they stay put even with a ratty head shake 😂 LTKHoliday LTKGiftGuide LTKTravel
