Hear me out -- A Wearable Stereo discusses a new open-ear audio design from oladance, the OWS Pro. The host introduces the concept of an open wearable stereo that does not go inside the ear, a design choice intended to keep ambient awareness while delivering sound around the ear. He examines the packaging, the suede carrying case, and the quick start guide, highlighting the straightforward setup and simple charging accessories. When putting the devices on, he notes there is no traditional ear seal, which allows for activities like skiing or biking while staying aware of the surroundings. He explores how the device sits behind the ear, describing the light weight and the two-tone exterior with soft-touch silicone on the portion that does not contact the head. The review moves to the accompanying app, where the user can customize touch controls, audio profiles, and a music vs calls interface. He tests the hardware by pairing with a phone, adjusting controls, and attempting light usability tasks like pausing, skipping, and changing volume via squeezes and swipes. The sound tests cover multiple presets including a surging bass profile and a pure voice setting, and the frequency response graphs show a strong midrange adherence with a boost in treble and a controlled bass emphasis. Finally, the host shares battery life figures, IPX4 water resistance, Bluetooth 5.3, and multi-point pairing, concluding with a price point and an invitation for viewer feedback on the design and usability of this open-ear approach.
