Anyone used open-ear model? Is it better than traditional in-ear model from the comfort perspective?

I don't have this model, so I can't comment on it specifically.
I have one open ear pair and really like them for being able to hear my environment.

My ears get really sensitive to pressure so I dislike the in-ear with the slicone plugs. I've tried a couple open ear models and found the fit varies from one manufacturer to another. One I found was almost as uncomfortable as the in-ear and the other I kept accidentally pausing the audio when the back of the ear bud would touch behind my ear when turning my head. So, I feel like it's the kind of thing you need to test to know if the fit works for you. Good luck!

I don't have this model, but I love open-ear earbuds because they are very secure.
I mostly use wireless earbuds for exercise indoor.

However, I just found out a specific problem last week. When the outside noise is too loud, the earbuds seem to be useless. I can barely hear anything with the outside noise.

All depends on your use case. I like wearing mine while running errands and around the home, doing chores, because I can still hear my kids if they need me. I agree with tyiu48 though - I tried wearing these in a noisy environment, my kids' play gym, and it was just a huge cacophony in my head. From the comfort perspective, open-ear models are solid. Most of the time, I forget I removed them because they're so light. I can't speak to the quality of these; I ended up with Baseus.

Dont have this one, have Baseus XC1. Comfort wise, they're fine, you kind of forget you're wearing them but then it feels funny for a bit when you take them off. Sound quality definitely isnt at the same level as an in ear pair that forms a good seal but the main reason to buy it is so you can still hear what's going on around you. I use mine mostly for audiobooks and podcasts while I'm running or out with the family.

It's the same model AC601, and I see the same specs, no upgraded specs. But huge that it's cheaper and you're not stuck with only purple! Different styles too, but unclear if this is Monster's site - I'm a little suspect with all models priced the same $12.99. "As the largest authorized distributor of Monster in China, MCT..."
