The Verge finds Sony’s LinkBuds Clip comfortable with solid sound for an open-ear design, but at $230 they don’t offer enough standout features (no wireless charging, no LDAC, no audio sharing) and can have finicky touch controls, making them a tougher sell compared with cheaper rivals, though call quality is strong thanks to AI noise reduction.
Sony unveils LinkBuds Clip Open, clip-on open-ear wireless earbuds that avoid blocking the ear canal, offering cushioned fit, up to 37 hours of total battery life (9 hours standalone + 28 hours in case), bone-conduction voice pickup with AI noise reduction, a 10-band EQ, and a leakage-reduction mode; priced at $229.99 in four colors and positioned as an open-ear alternative to Bose and Shokz.
Huawei has released a new pair of earbuds called FreeClip, which feature an unconventional open-ear design that allows users to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music or taking calls. The buds have a unique ergonomic bean-shaped module that sits behind the ear and are symmetrical, not distinguishing between left and right ears. They offer 32 hours of battery life, multi-device connectivity, and are IP54 splash-proof. The FreeClip buds are available for pre-order and will start shipping in late December.
