I’ve spent hundreds of hours testing open earbuds — here's my 7 favorite Black Friday deals from $29

Despite the controls being frustrating to use at times, the Soundcore C30i are among the most impressive budget open earbuds on the market. They offer 30 hours of battery life with the charging case and quick charging technology for three hours of playtime with a 10-minute juice boost. They're currently 58% off in the Black Friday sales, and at this price with great sound, an awesome battery life a funky design, they are an absolute steal.

The JLab Epic Open Sport earbuds offer a reliable and comfortable way to listen to your music while working out. They’re sweatproof with an IP55 rating, making them ideal for even the sweatiest of runs, and offer a balanced sound profile to keep you motivated too. You get 30 hours of battery life here but only one-hour of charge with a 10-minute boost. With a whopping 57% off their usual price, this is one of the best deals around right now.

With four different colors to choose from, the AceFast AceFit Pro open earbuds offer a colorful and flashy way of listening to your favorite music while working out and staying visible at the same time. I’m not recommending these buds for their audio, but their six hours of battery life (25 hours with case) and IP54 waterproof rating make them a solid choice for anyone needing a set of reliable outdoor buds.

The EarFun Clip open earbuds have entirely changed the way I work out. They block out a little more ambient sound than other open earbuds on the market, but they have incredible sound quality. They have 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and an extra 40 with the charging case. For the Black Friday deal price of $69, these are an absolute steal.

The Soundcore AeroClip earbuds are an essential for any fitness lover who values comfort and audio quality during their workouts. They may have a budget price tag, but they show no compromises in the comfort department. There's an impressive 32 hours of listening time with the charging case and eight hours in each bud when fully charged. At $70 off their original price, picking up these buds right now is a no-brainer.

The Skullcandy Push 720 Open earbuds offer a secure fit and decent waterproofing for workouts, and boast a unique case design. The case is my favorite thing about these buds as they are super secure and can hook onto belts and bags for portability. While the default sound profile leaves a lot to be desired, EQ adjustments and a personal sound test can improve performance. A 10-minute rapid charge delivers two hours of play time and the charging case offers a total of 30 hours of battery life. With the price reduced by $50, this deal is perfect for anyone who needs new buds for the gym.

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are a stylish pair of open-ear earbuds that don’t compromise on audio features and can be worn comfortably for many hours at a time. The charging case offers a total of 27 hours of listening time but the buds can only offer seven and a half hours. This drops to four and a half hours if you're using the Bose immersive audio. The $70 off deal for Black Friday makes them an ideal choice for audio fans. They’re a compelling solution for staying connected to the world around you.
