"Every once in a great while, however, I receive a pair of earbuds or headphones that don't quite live up to my standards for audio. When that happens, I at least attempt to find something of value in the device. Also: This $99 pair of earbuds made me forget about the expensive ones - how they win Such was the case when I received the OpenRock Linux 20 open-air earbuds . After unpacking them and connecting them to my Pixel 9 Pro, I fired up my favorite playlist and tapped play."
"The "gimmick" with the Link 20 earbuds is a detachable, flexible mic boom, which is just under three inches long and is held in place by two magnets. At first blush, I didn't bother with it, but once I realized music sounded less than average, I decided to look at the Link 20 earbuds from a different angle: phone calls. I called someone who knows what I do for a living and informed them that they were part of my test. I asked them how I sounded and their answer was simple: tinny but very clear."
The OpenRock Link 20 open-air earbuds produced tinny, flat sound with weak bass, limited low-end agility, and nearly absent highs when tested with a Pixel 9 Pro. The earbuds include a detachable, flexible microphone boom just under three inches long that attaches with two magnets. The microphone boom produced clear call audio, with a listener describing the voice as tinny but very clear. A direct switch to high-end Denon PerL Pro earbuds did not change the listener's reported clarity. The Link 20 offers limited music performance but useful voice-call capability via its detachable boom.
