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)

Jabra is a danish company producing mostly professionally used headsets (I know them for their business stuff which is widely used in telecommunication). As I'm not sure what suits you as open ear I suggest you look up their portfolio.

I see only in-ear or over/on-ear on their website
