I’m currently looking to replace my in-ears (which are slowly dying) and I have settled on the open-ear form factor. Unfortunately open-ears are not very common, so I’ve had trouble finding many European options. I’d settle for a European company, because produced in Europe is even more difficult to find.

What I found so far:

• Nothing Open Ear (UK, produced in China)
• Suunto Aqua/Wing/Sonic (Finland, probably produced in China apparently completely Chinese now
• Teufel Airy Open TWS (Germany, probably produced in China)
• Beyerdynamic Veerio 200 (Germany, 85% of all Beyerdynamic products produced in Germany)

Please do not confuse open-back (full-size over-ear) and open-ear (small form factor).

European brands I have checked which do not have open-ears:

• Steelseries
• Bang & Olufsen
• Austrian Audio
• Sennheiser
• Meze
• Fairphone
• Valco
• Fresh 'n Rebel
• Jabra

Brands with open-ears but not European:

• Shokz
• Bose
• JBL
• Suunto (used to be Finnish, now 100% Chinese)
