Equipped with JBL OpenSound technology, the Soundgear Sense are the first JBL air conduction wireless headphones. This means that the headphones are in contact with the ears but without being inserted into the pinna.

JBL Soundgear Sense headphones feature 16.2mm drivers and a bass enhancement algorithm, as well as multipoint Bluetooth connectivity (two devices simultaneously) to easily switch between sources. Four microphones support phone call quality, and the IP54 rating allows for resistance to sweat, dust and splashes. Finally, note the detachable neck strap for additional support during intensive sports sessions, for example.
