Open-ear comfort for active use
These CNet TK-HS036 open-ear headphones sit outside the ear canal, removing the pressure of traditional in-ear buds while keeping you aware of traffic and conversation. Weighing 8g per earbud with flexible ear hooks, they stay secure during cycling, running or gym sessions. Bluetooth 6.0 provides a stable link up to 10 meters (33ft) for music and calls.
Upgrade from sealing earbuds
The jump is worth it when you need to hear your surroundings — commuting, outdoor sport or office environments where isolation is a drawback. They replace in-ear models that block ambient sound and can cause fatigue over long periods. The IPX5 rating resists sweat and light rain, so workouts no longer risk damaging the buds. Touch controls handle playback and calls without reaching for a phone.
Sustained daily performance
A single charge delivers 7 hours of continuous play; the charging case extends total listening to 40 hours before you need a wall socket. A quick 10-minute top-up adds useful runtime when time is short. The 14.2mm dynamic drivers maintain consistent output through extended sessions, and the Bluetooth 6.0 link remains steady during prolonged movement without the drop-outs common on older versions.

Questions about this item
How do the ear hooks attach to the headphones for a secure fit?
The ear hooks are built into each 8g earbud and wrap behind the ear; hook them over the cartilage before seating the open-ear driver so the 14.2mm unit rests just outside the canal.
What is the correct pairing sequence for Bluetooth 6.0?
Remove both earbuds from the charging case to enter pairing mode automatically, then select "TK-HS036" on the phone within 10 m; the step users miss is taking both buds out together.
How often will the charging case need recharging to deliver 40 hours total playtime?
Each earbud holds 7 hours; the case stores the remaining 33 hours, so expect to plug the case in roughly every five full earbud cycles.
