# HP 8NW98PA Open-Ear Wireless Earbuds, 18mm Dynamic Driver

HP 8NW98PA open-ear wireless earbuds use an 18mm dynamic driver and Bluetooth connectivity. Their ear-hook design is intended to keep the ears uncovered, while touch controls and a claimed case-inclusive playback figure suit everyday listening and activity. The listing does not confirm the charging case in its explicit contents list.

## At a glance

- Open-ear hooks are described as resting around the ears rather than inserting into the ear canals, which can suit listeners who want to remain aware of surrounding sounds.
- The listing claims up to 6 hours from one earbud and up to 40 hours in total with the charging case. These are different usage claims, not one continuous earbud runtime.
- Touch controls are listed for calls and track changes. Bluetooth 6.0 and a 10-metre range are manufacturer-stated specifications.

## Pros

- Open-ear placement leaves the ear canals unsealed, supporting awareness of nearby ambient sounds during walks or exercise.
- The listing specifies Bluetooth 6.0, touch control and compatibility with phones, tablets and laptops.
- Manufacturer-stated fast charging claims two additional hours of music playback from a 15-minute charge.

## Cons

- Open-ear audio does not provide the sealed fit of in-ear earbuds, so buyers seeking passive isolation should consider another form factor.

## Before you buy

- The listing is inconsistent about the kit: its explicit contents list names only a user manual, while the playback claim depends on a charging case. Confirm that the selected listing includes the case before purchase. The headline says 18mm dynamic driver, while feature text calls it an 18mm raceway-shaped driver. The stated total playback depends on the case, whereas the separate single-earbud claim is up to 6 hours.

## In the box

- User manual (Included)
- Charging case (Check selected pack): The playback claim refers to a case, but the explicit contents list names only a user manual. Confirm the selected listing's package contents.

## A good fit for

- Listeners who prefer an open-ear fit for exercise, commuting or everyday use and want to hear some surrounding sounds.
- Buyers looking for Bluetooth earbuds with touch controls for calls and track changes.
- People who prioritise the listing's claimed combined playback time and can confirm the case is included.

## Less suited to

- Listeners who need strong passive noise isolation from a sealed in-ear design.
- Buyers who require a confirmed charging case in the package without checking the selected listing.

## Customer feedback

Only aggregate rating information is supplied, with a very small number of ratings and all in the top-star category. That is a limited positive signal, not evidence about specific qualities such as comfort, call clarity or battery life. The listing's open-ear fit and stated playback figures describe intended use, not customer-verified performance.

## Frequently asked questions

### Are these earbuds open-ear or in-ear?
The listing identifies the form factor and ear placement as Open Ear, and describes hooks that rest around the ears instead of entering the ear canals.
### How long do they play on a charge?
The listing claims up to 6 hours of continuous playback from one earbud and up to 40 hours total with the charging case. The case's inclusion in the package is not confirmed by the explicit contents list.
### Does the package include a charging case?
The explicit contents list names a user manual, but a feature claim refers to a charging case. Check the selected listing to confirm whether the case is included.
### What devices can they connect to?
Bluetooth connectivity is listed, with cellphones, tablets and laptops named as compatible devices.
