How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a headset built for clear work calls and all-day wear around the office or on the road, choose MAIRDI Open Ear Bone; if you need a breathable gaming headset with a detachable mic and a wired option for consoles, choose Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back.
• MAIRDI Open Ear Bone — biggest strength: A dedicated noise-canceling boom mic plus an included USB dongle make it a genuine work-call tool, not just a music headset.
• MAIRDI Open Ear Bone — biggest trade-off: 8 hours of playtime is modest, and the bone-conduction design is tuned for voice and awareness more than deep gaming audio.
• Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back — biggest strength: Up to 50 hours of battery with the RGB lighting off, and a 3.5mm wired jack that covers consoles the Bluetooth-only MAIRDI can't reach.
• Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back — biggest trade-off: No active noise control on the headset itself, and the open-back hollow cups deliberately let the outside world in.
• Who each pick is for: MAIRDI for office workers, remote professionals and drivers who live on calls; Xmenha for gamers and mixed-use players who want one headset for PC, console and casual listening.
The MAIRDI Open Ear Bone is the more specialized of the two, and it's honest about what it is. This is a bone-conduction headset with a physical boom microphone that swings down to your mouth, backed by AI dual-mic noise canceling that the specs claim eliminates up to 98% of background noise. If your day is a stack of video conferences, softphone calls and online meetings, that boom mic is the whole point — it sits close to your voice instead of picking it up from across your cheekbone.
The connectivity story is unusually complete for a Bluetooth headset. It runs Bluetooth 5.3 on Qualcomm's QCC chip, supports multi-point pairing with two devices at once, and ships with a USB Bluetooth dongle so you can plug into a PC or Mac that has no Bluetooth at all. That's a genuinely practical detail for anyone whose work laptop is locked down or older. Add magnetic charging, 8 hours of music and call time, and 200 hours of standby, and it's a headset you charge at your desk rather than think about.
Comfort leans toward long wear. It weighs 32g, uses a titanium alloy neckband that hugs the ear, and the open-ear design means nothing plugs your ear canal, so you stay aware of your surroundings and can wear it with glasses or a helmet. In my opinion, this is the pick for the person who takes calls in a truck, a shared office or a busy home — and who wants the mic to actually work. Skip it if you want a single headset for console gaming or you need marathon battery life.
The Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back plays a different game entirely. It's a gaming headset first: open-ear, over-ear cups with a hollow, open-back design that the specs describe as 50% more breathable than a standard headset and delivering 360° airflow. The pitch is simple — no sweat buildup during long sessions, and you can still hear a knock at the door or someone talking to you without pulling the headset off. That awareness is the same idea behind open-ear audio, just executed with over-ear cups instead of a neckband.
Battery is where it pulls away. Xmenha rates it at up to 50 hours of playtime with the RGB lighting off and 12 hours with the effects on, and lists a 10-minute charge time for a quick top-up. There's adjustable RGB lighting if you want the desk to look the part, and a high-sensitivity detachable boom mic that unplugs when you're done with calls so the headset reads as casual headphones instead of a gaming rig.
The connection options are broader than MAIRDI's. Xmenha gives you Bluetooth (listed as version 6) with a 20-meter range, plus a 3.5mm wired jack — which is how you'd hook into an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch controller, or a PC without relying on wireless at all. The trade-off is that there's no noise control listed on the headset, so the open-back design and the outside world are a package deal. In my opinion, this is for the gamer or remote worker who wants one breathable headset for PC, console and casual music, and who values battery life over call isolation.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for work calls and meetings → MAIRDI Open Ear Bone. The adjustable boom mic plus AI dual-mic noise canceling is built for voice, and the USB dongle covers Bluetooth-less PCs.
• Best for console gaming → Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back. The 3.5mm wired jack works with Xbox, PlayStation and Switch; MAIRDI is wireless Bluetooth and USB only.
• Best for staying aware on the move → MAIRDI Open Ear Bone. Bone conduction leaves your ears fully open, and the 32g titanium neckband is designed to stay put under a helmet or glasses.
• Best for breathability during long sessions → Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back. The open-back hollow cups and 360° airflow target exactly the sweaty-headset problem.
• Best for a multi-device desk setup → MAIRDI Open Ear Bone. Bluetooth 5.3 multi-point pairing plus the dongle lets it hop between a phone and a computer.
• Best for quiet, focused voice pickup → MAIRDI Open Ear Bone. Xmenha lists no noise control on the headset, so it leans on the mic alone for clarity.
• Best for RGB personality and a detachable mic → Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back. Adjustable lighting and a mic you can unplug give it two looks in one.
I'd buy the MAIRDI Open Ear Bone if my priority were being understood on calls — the boom mic, the 98% background-noise claim, the USB dongle and the multi-point pairing are all pointed at that one job, and 8 hours is enough for a normal workday. I'd buy the Xmenha Open Ear Open-Back instead if I gamed across PC and console and wanted one breathable headset with huge battery life and a wired fallback. In my opinion, MAIRDI wins for talk-heavy work; Xmenha wins for play-heavy setups. Match it to how you actually spend your hours, and check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
It's primarily a work-call headset. It handles audio fine over Bluetooth 5.3, but it has no wired console connection and only 8 hours of battery, so it's a weaker fit for long console sessions than Xmenha.
It supports Bluetooth with a 20-meter range and a 3.5mm wired jack, so you can use it wirelessly on a PC or phone and plug in for consoles — but you'd be switching between them, not running both at once.
MAIRDI is the clearer choice for noise, since its dual-mic system is spec'd to cut up to 98% of background sound for the person on the other end of your call. Xmenha lists no noise control, and its open-back cups are designed to let outside sound in.
Xmenha, by a wide margin. It's rated up to 50 hours with the RGB lighting off and 12 hours with effects on, while MAIRDI offers 8 hours of playback and 200 hours of standby.
