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)

Hi,

I don’t know where Teufel produces )likely China though), but the brand is high quality and these should match more or less.

I won a pair of Teufel earbuds and their noise cancelling is abysmal. Good sound, shame about the ANC.

Thanks, added to my list!
