Maxell: You can keep your AirPods charging and ignite workout goals with the new OWS Pro Open Wireless Earhooks

Keeping it 100? I have never mastered being able to keep my Apple AirPods secured in my ear during workouts. Biking across the George Washington Bridge with them on too? Forget about it - no way do I take the chance of them falling out - so seeing the legendary Maxell brand coming through with its very own OWS Pro Open Wireless Earbuds launch? I’m 100 percent here for it.

Maxell delivers with the newly launched OWS Pro Open Wireless Earhooks

Now continuing to keep it 100 - I have to give a massive shout-out to Maxell and Team Maxell for coming through with a pair of these new Earhooks to try out. The honest truth? They’re legit and much like having a ride or die and then a down ass bae - you can easily feel comfort in knowing these are not meant to be your complete go-to for headset fire - my Apple AirPods have a stay of execution - but for the workout and fitness goals? Maybe even just running a few quick errands and taking some strolls through the city? Maxell for the win-win.

I’m a little torn because just like every person wants to make their side bae their everyday bae - I have to come to terms with knowing Maxell has come through with solid head gear meant to hold you down but not being a complete replacement for your high-end gear. Just like there’s a difference between Nobu and Panda Express - both are legit fire and we’re all bound to grab more Panda Express on a quick, regular basis than Nobu - it’s the same with the Maxell ear hooks.

The quality is solid. The comfort takes some adjusting since we’re all so used to the traditional AirPods tuck. But for $36.99-$39.99, I can proudly say I’ll keep the OWS Pro Open Wireless Earhooks everywhere I trek. And when it comes to the fitness grind? It’s safe to say Maxell surprisingly has the edge and when it comes to my everyday and casual flex, I’m sticking with the AirPods and occasionally my AirPods Max.

Fitness and workout goals? Maxell for the win. And if you’re looking for some key selling points on why these are way more impressive than similar options on the market? Say less.

These innovative earbuds deliver immersive sound while keeping users connected to their surroundings. Perfect for the office, outdoor strolls, jogging, or cycling, the OWS Pro Open Wireless Earhooks transform any space into a personal concert hall without compromising environmental awareness. Priced between $36.99 and $39.99, they provide:

  • 18 hours of playtime with the charging case

  • 6 hours of playtime for just the earbuds

  • Immersive sound that lets users hear their environment

  • Secure fit on the outside of the ear

  • Fast Type C charging connection

  • Available in three colors: Bubble Gum, Ocean, and Arctic (currently only White is available, with Pink and Blue launching in late August/early September)
