Looking for European earbud producer with open-ear design (feddit.org)

I'm currently looking to replace my in-ears (which are slowly dying) and I have settled on the open-ear form factor. Unfortunately open-ears are not very common, so I've had trouble finding many European options. I'd settle for a European company, because produced in Europe is even more difficult to find.

What I found so far:

  • Nothing Open Ear (UK, produced in China)
  • ~~Suunto Aqua/Wing/Sonic (Finland, probably produced in China~~ apparently completely Chinese now
  • Teufel Airy Open TWS (Germany, probably produced in China)
  • Beyerdynamic Veerio 200 (Germany, 85% of all Beyerdynamic products produced in Germany)

Please do not confuse open-back (full-size over-ear) and open-ear (small form factor).

European brands I have checked which do not have open-ears:

  • Steelseries
  • Bang & Olufsen
  • Austrian Audio
  • Sennheiser
  • Meze
  • Fairphone
  • Valco
  • Fresh 'n Rebel
  • Jabra

Brands with open-ears but not European:

  • Shokz
  • Bose
  • JBL
  • Suunto (used to be Finnish, now 100% Chinese)

No open-ears as far as I can see
