Which open ear headphone

[Metronomy]

Good morning, I would like to know if any of you know a decent open ear headphone. I bought a Suondcore V20 but I wanted something more valid. The reason is that I have small ear holes and I can't put on headphones iem. So it would be an open but small headphone with supports to stabilize it on the ear.

Thank you

You didn't mention a price range or wired vs wireless.

If you are wanting inexpensive wired over the ear headphones that sound pretty good as opposed to earbuds, try out the Koss KPH 40 or the Koss Porta Pro.

I'm not a fan of on ear headphones myself, and I don't know what the stabilizer supports you mention are, but these look like fun as a cheap retro headphone.

Instead, when looking for on-ear look into Koss KSC35 or KSC75... but these are wired.

Yes, my bad.

I just looked up the Soundcore V20 you have, and these are a completely different design than the KOSS 40, Porta pro, or Fiio Wind.
These are called "open ear" which just seems to mean that the don't cover your ear.

The KOSS 40, Porta-pro, and Fiio Wind models are open-back with a headband so they will cover your ear.
These are an open-back design which will let more sound in and out so not ideal for use in public.

The KSC35 and 75 look like good options if you are happy with the open-back (open-air according to KOSS) design.
These models are clip-on but are wired vs the wireless connection of the soundcore.

KSC75

Clip the Koss KSC75 headphones comfortably over your ear and let yourself be amazed by the great sound of these high fidelity clip headphones.

Thank you very kind, I prefer Bluetooth connection because I use them in sports shooting.

Nice find but the reviews aren't great.
They serve a purpose but don't sound very good apparently.

OPs only requirement was for something more "valid' which I have no idea how to quantify so maybe these are a good option.
