Happy customer.

They sound amazing. Ultra comfortable and convenient when you're in the go and don't want to "people". Light-weight and makes it possible to hear others around you (when you want to hear them). One word of caution, be mindful that the ear clips are small and if the case falls, the ear clip may fall out upon impact. I had to buy another set because of that but weeks later I found the lost clip so now I have two pair. Definitely a great buy.

very cute and extremely comfortable for small ears

I wasn't sure what to expect from these, but I have petite ears and even the smallest in-ear headphones tend to give me discomfort from long use, so I was interested in trying this clip-on style. I was pleasantly surprised. These are adorable. They are a light lavender with silver tones, lightweight without feeling insubstantial. They clip on my ears nicely and feel comfortable to wear. The sound quality was better than I expected - I'm not an audio quality expert, but I am sensitive to sound, and I liked listening with these. The case is a little on the large side compared to other Bluetooth earbuds I have, but it's not absurd or difficult to use. I am curious how much sound bleed there is, but haven't had the opportunity to test much.

Good value open-ear earbuds with solid sound, but comfort and battery fall slightly short

Key Takeaway: Good-sounding, easy-to-use open-ear earbuds with solid value, though comfort and battery life fall slightly short of expectations.

These open-ear clip-on earbuds are a good value for the price and perform better than expected in a few key areas. Sound quality is clear and solid for this style, especially for casual listening, calls, and workday use.

Pairing is quick and easy, and the open-ear design works well for maintaining awareness of your surroundings, which is helpful during meetings or when multitasking. The charging case is also a plus—it charges quickly, and the LED display is bright and easy to read.

Battery life doesn’t fully match the advertised claims. I was able to get around 6 hours of use during a typical workday, which is still usable but a bit below expectations. One workaround is using one earbud at a time to extend total listening time.

Comfort is decent at first, but over time the clip-on design becomes noticeable. The material feels a bit firmer compared to similar open-ear styles (like Shokz-type designs), which may lead to some discomfort during longer sessions.

The controls work, but they take some getting used to and aren’t immediately intuitive. Once you adjust, they’re manageable.

Overall, these are a practical, budget-friendly option that work well for everyday use, especially if you want open-ear awareness without spending on higher-end models.

Pros:

Good sound quality for the price

Easy and quick Bluetooth pairing

Effective open-ear awareness

Fast charging with clear LED display

Good overall value

Cons:

Battery life slightly below advertised

Comfort decreases over longer wear

Controls take time to learn

Build quality feels average

A Great Way To Try Out Open-Earbuds.

The purple color of these are super beautiful. The headphones are very lightweight. It is a learning curve to get them to fit right because you want them to fit in your ear, but they do not fit in your ear. They fit on top of your ear. If you wear glasses or earrings it will make the earbuds a bit hard to sit right. The cuff is small as well and might not fit well on bigger ears. Due to how they sit on your ears, you have turn the volume up higher than normal.

They didn't cause any pain when I went to sleep in them. The microphone quality is okay. I had no issues connecting them via Bluetooth on my Android, Apple and PC devices. You can only have them connected to one device at a time, with no quick switching. Unfortunately, when they are in the case, they don't always turn off. If you don't manually turn them off on the earbud, but that doesn't always work either. So even when the case is fully charged and closed, the earbuds will try to connect to your devices. Your sound will try to play from the headphones when they should not be connected. It was frustrating and I ended up disconnecting or turning off Bluetooth on the device I was using to stop this loop.

The earbuds are labeled in the case by left and right. They are not labeled on the earbuds themselves. The only way for you to know which one is which is by tapping the buttons to see if your volume goes up or down. The earbud controls are very sensitive and can be activated by simple taps.

The magnet case is super secure and the earbuds snap right in place. The display shows how much battery each earbud has as well as the life of the case. The case itself is of overall good quality. The best part about having open ear headphones is that you can still be aware of your surroundings. If you play whatever you're listening to too high, someone that is close to you will be able to hear what is playing.

At the time of ordering these were listed at just under $30 which was an okay price for these. Now they are listed at just under $16. These are an amazing value for the newer price.

They actually stay on my ears.

Okay, they won me over. I really don't like airpod type wireless earbuds, not only am I always worried they are going to fall out but they do fall out and I've lost too many. I have since opted for the clunkier but safer and durable collar-style earphones that simply do not fall off my body. It's become a look for me 🙄.

I admit though that sometimes I'd prefer they were more invisible. Then I saw these. The short version is they do what they say, they are sturdy little magnetized soft ear clips, and I've had these on for over fourteen hours straight and they not only connected immediately and sounded great, nice and crisp, they did not even once make me worried they were going to fall off. In fact I forgot they were on when I stopped listening to my podcast, they surprised me with how comfortable they were. They are now starting to bother my one ear from being in the same position for too long, I think it's a good idea to move them a little every so often.

During all that rime I wore them my kids never asked once what was on my ears. They aren't invisible exactly but still not one of them noticed, which I find interesting.

There is a very small manual with these with the teeniest type I have ever seen (and I'm a graphic designer so that's saying something). So I took photos and enlarged it all, I've shared the photos here, I know I personally want to keep the directions close (in a size I can read) as I play with prompts for these. Most things I know I'll continue to do from my phone, like volume control and answering calls, but who knows, I might get savvier with it and just start tapping my earbuds as I click my heels. 😌👠

I'm really surprised at the reasonable (low) price, they are worth checking out. I think I'll probably get a second pair. And I'll report back if there are any issues, if they aren't as durable as they seem, but right now I'm really happy with these.

Good sound, others around you can hear what your playing though

These earbuds are a solid choice if you want something that stays put during just about any activity. They fit securely and don’t feel like they’re going to fall off, whether you’re moving around a lot or just going about your day. Overall, the features work as described and the setup process was smooth. Others can hear the music though, just keep that in mind.

Pairing was quick and easy. As soon as I turned them on, they went straight into pairing mode and connected to my phone within seconds. The included instructions are thorough. There’s a handy fold out reference guide that makes it easier to understand all the functions at a glance.

The earbuds can be used independently, which is convenient if you only want to wear one. Most of the controls are handled through light taps on either earbud, and it does take a little time to learn exactly where and how quickly to tap for certain commands. I found it easier to use my phone for some controls, but it’s still nice to have the touch options available for quick adjustments when needed.

Work great

These are a very interest design with just clipping on your ear instead of going in your ear, but they are pretty comfortable and stay in place well, even with activity/movement. They look good on - pretty coloring. Good quality construction, easy to change/put in & take out of the charging case. I like that there is a digital screen on the front of the case, so you know when you need to recharge. Pretty good battery & don't take forever to recharge. I like how easy they are to clean/wipe off after use. There is a little learning curve (per each set of earbud controls are a little different between companies & models) but fairly easy to use the controls. Good instructions. Ok volume but good sound quality. I like that they come with a charging case to keep them charged, safe & clean. Pretty good price point for how well they work. I recommend.

Comfortable and clear

For me, an earbud's purpose is to perform well enough that I forget they're there. I want to focus on the job or workout and the earbud should fit in seamlessly. Under that criterion, I am generally happy with these earbuds. I like their clip-on design which makes them comfortable to wear, and they stay snuggly in place no matter what I'm doing, which is very important for me. I like that the case clearly notes the charge, the earbuds pair easily, and their sound is clear and sufficiently loud. It took practice to find the touch key consistently, but I got used to it fairly quickly. Also, the earbuds come with comprehensive instructions, but they are typed in the tiniest font, so be prepared to use your phone's magnifier to read them. I wrote the most important instructions in marker on the case, so I don't have to deal with the tiny print often.

Saving my ear canals with these unique headphones!

I wasn't sure how these would feel on and I am pleased. Sometimes ear buds cause my ear canals to hurt. These are lightweight, flexible and almost unnoticeable. The charging case is a good size, and I really like that it shows the charge percentage remaining. The sound quality is good. These are definitely not noise cancelling and could be really handy if you need to keep an ear on traffic on the street, or the sound of kids playing in another room. It took me a bit to figure out how to pair them as they kept coming up on my iPhone as a television, once I figured that out all was good to go. These are very reasonably priced for the quality and features.

Decent set, great for multitasking, but not the best sound.

These fit my ears comfortably, but I have a family memeber that has larger ears than me who hates the feel of them. On my ears, they sit firmly in the perfect spot to point the speakers into my ear. I get great volume. These are not noise-canceling, and the sound is a tad muffled. They are great for listening to podcasts or low music while I work, as I can still hear everything around me and participate. They are also great for exercising as they stay in place. I had these on for 5 hours the other day, and my ears started to hurt a bit. In addition to all of this, I love the purple color and the display window that tells me how much power is in the case for recharging this. I am giving this 4 stars because it has a lot of great features, but the sound is not the best.

Amazing sound quality

These earbuds paired easily to my Galaxy S25 Ultra and sound amazing! I've never had this style of earbuds before but they're so comfortable I don't even feel them. I've found my new favorite style. They are excellent quality. I ordered these and another set, not being sure which would be more comfortable and these win! The outside of the case shows you how charged the case is and lets you know if the earbuds are charging. My set came 92% charged so I was able to use them right away. The settings are easy to use to change the volume, skip a track or answer calls while listening to music. The sound quality of these far exceeded my expectations. Calls are crystal clear on both ends. These comes with a type C usb charging cable but no box. The instructions are easy to follow to pair and use the different settings. Great value for your money! My previous earbuds are like airpods and bother my ears after a couple of hours. I've worn these almost 8 hours for days in a row with no irritation/sore ears.

Solid choice when you fine in ear or over the top of ear unconformable

I’ve been using these clip-on open-ear earbuds daily for workouts, calls, and casual listening, and they’ve honestly exceeded my expectations. First off, they’re incredibly lightweight, you barely notice them after a few minutes. The open-ear clip design is a huge plus since nothing goes inside the ear canal, which makes them comfortable for long wear and great for staying aware of your surroundings while running or at the gym.

Call quality is excellent thanks to the dual-mic ENC noise cancellation. People on the other end can hear me clearly even in noisy environments, and music and podcasts come through crisp with minimal sound leakage. Bluetooth 5.4 connects instantly and stays stable with no dropouts, no lag or whether I’m streaming videos or moving around during workouts.

Battery life is another win. I get about 6 hours per charge, and the LED charging case makes it easy to keep track of battery levels for each earbud and the case itself. With the extra charges from the case, I rarely need to plug it in.

Finally, the IPX5 waterproof rating holds up well against sweat and light rain, making these a solid choice for workouts and outdoor activities.

Pros:

- Ultra-light and comfortable open-ear design

- Clear calls with effective noise cancellation

- Fast, stable Bluetooth connection

- Long battery life with handy LED display

- Sweat- and water-resistant for active use

Cons:

- Not for bass-heavy audiophiles (expected with open-ear design)

Overall, these are a fantastic option if you want comfortable, secure earbuds for fitness and daily wear without blocking your ears. Highly recommend!

Worth it!

For starters before getting these I was using Sony headphones for years! I'm not a fan of ear buds, they are uncomfortable in my ears so I was nervous about if I was even going to like these. However these blew me away. I can listen to my music and nobody else can hear it and if they do its barely noticeable. Also, I've been able to sleep while wearing these! They are comfortable, dont fall off. I can't say enough good things! They are a bit sensitive with the touch features, but after a bit you get used to it. I love the color of these too. Such a pretty purple. It even came most of the way charged! Battery life is so much better than my Sony headphones too. And these are way more cost effective. If you're on the fence about these, just get them. I promise they are great!

Comfortable, easy to connect, and a great AirPods alternative

I was honestly impressed with these earbuds. They synced up immediately with no issues and have stayed connected every time I’ve used them—no random disconnects or weird Bluetooth drama.

The clip-on design is surprisingly secure. They stay in place really well, even when moving around, and they’re super comfortable. I actually like using these as an alternative to my AirPods because my ears tend to get sore after wearing AirPods for a while, and these don’t cause that problem at all.

Sound quality is great for the price—clear audio and solid volume. Overall, these are a really nice, comfortable option if you want something different from traditional earbuds but still want good sound and easy connectivity.

Definitely a win.

Good Sound Quality, Lightweight

I got these earbuds because I prefer the open ear type. I have several different ones that I’ve tried as I have searched for a pair that has good volume and is comfortable enough for me. I like the open ear type so I can hear what’s going on around me without it sounding like “ambient aware” quality, which other types use but I don’t care for. So far, these seem to more closely fit what I’m looking for in open ear clip-ons.

They are very light to the point I forget I have them on. They work well for phone calls, and I haven’t received any complaints about the quality during calls and the quality that I hear is excellent. I’ve asked my wife if she hears them while I’m using them and she reports that she cannot hear them unless I have the volume maxed out (discovered as a test, not a recommended level of listening).

The charging case is molded to hold the buds in perfect alignment with the charging contacts, and they have the charging level displayed for each bud and the case on the outside of the case. Both the buds and the case hold the charge better than most. Pairing them was fast and easy and I haven’t had any connection drop offs or delays.

I will say the bass is not as strong as I like, however, I think that’s more of a function of the clip-on style.

Overall, I am pleased with the sound, features and quality. I recommend them.

Impressive Sound - jury is out on the rest

Once I figured out how to comfortably place around my earlobe, the sound quality is amazing. It does not sit inside your ear making proper placement an important task. Because it doesn’t place inside the ear though, you don’t have to take them out to have a conversation - simply pause your music. Earbuds that clip on over the ear, to me feel more secure and comfortable. However, these felt firmly placed around the lobe. I didn’t go running with these, so it’s only my impression that if you are a hard core runner you will be happier with earbuds that fit over your ear.

As far as comfort, it’s alright. They feel big for my ear.

Callers can hear me and I can hear callers, but if you are trying to adjust the volume it’s easy to accidentally hang up on the person.

I haven’t figured out the precise location on where to tap to increase/decrease, pause and start. There is a specific tap sequence to “make it happen” and if you aren’t spot on, well what you are trying to accomplish and what happens may be two different things.

These are great if you use to listen to music, audiobook or podcast while cleaning the house or at the gym lost in your own world working out - basic casual 1 - 2 hours of use. I guess I’ll say, I’ll get my use out of these, but if I loose one or it breaks I won’t replace with same item. My husband however loves them - he uses the wired apple buds.

Affordable earbuds for exercise

These are a good option if you want earbuds that won't fall out with almost any activity. All features and functionality are as advertised, with only a few minor concerns.

Turning on the earbuds had the pairing mode activate immediately. My cell phone picked it up within a few seconds and they were ready to go. I also paired them with a desktop PC as well as an Ipad. All three devices have different versions of bluetooth support and there was no difference in functionality. The instructions provided are clear and give a detailed description of all functions. The type is rather small so some may need to get the reading glasses. The foldable reference chart with all functions is very handy and easy to read. The earbuds operate independently, so you can only use one if necessary. Almost all controls can be done by light taps on either the left or right. It took me some time to get used to the location to tap as well as the speed to activate multi-tap functions. For me it is easier to use my phone to perform some of these tasks but it is nice to have the earbud control available if you need to make a quick adjustment.

Buds clip on the ear easily. Took me a few seconds to find an optimal position, but it moved freely and comfortably. I'd consider these to be a good universal fit for almost anybody, with the exception of those with really small ears. The issue being the clamp force may not be enough to keep them in place. However, this is an advantage for everyone else as I was wearing them for most of the day and had no issues with comfort. There is only rather slight pressure on the ear. I didn't need to make any adjustments when exercising as the earbuds stayed in place. The material they are made of is rather smooth and glides easily. They are also very easy to clean and probably a good idea to do a quick wipe down after use.

The charging case is a rather hard plastic and has magnets for keeping the buds in place as well as shutting the cap. The hinge to the cap however is rather thin so a fall or drop could potentially break it off. The case charges through a standard USB-C cable and one is provided. I found the battery life within the description to be fairly accurate. Even with consistent heavy usage, a single charge was lasting numerous hours. The portable charge provided by the case was very close to the 18-hour mark. The display on the case provides a good visual for active charging as well as the remaining battery percentage.

Sound quality is good overall. Voices in particular on calls are very clear. The noise cancellation works well. I took a call when biking next to a busy street and was able to communicate clearly. Some noise was definitely getting through to the other side, but not enough to cause problems. When listening to music, you can still hear everything going on around you. The speaker within the buds will not completely cover the outer ear. These will not complete with dedicated headphones for music listening, but have a nice clear sound and better than I was expecting. The audio notifications when adjusting settings are passable. There are short beeps when adjusting volume, and voice confirmation for turning them on and off. These could be clearer relative to the quality of calls and music, but is a minor concern at best. Distance is rated for 10m/30ft and that was accurate. Going near that range you will hear the sound cut off. Before that point, there were no drop outs or interruptions.

Earbuds that won’t Fall Out

A problem I’ve had with audio earbuds is that they sometimes fall out of my ear. And when they do, they always seem to roll to some inaccessible corner under my desk. Some solutions are wired earbuds, or earbuds that hook over the top of your ears. The Wireless Bluetooth Clip On Earbuds use a different approach --- they clip on to your ears, sort of like clip-on earrings. The earbuds have a small globe and a larger globe. The small globe fits into your ear, and the larger one stays on the back of your ear. (see photos)

I tried the earbuds on a Zoom call (talking and listening), watching videos and listening to music. The sound and voice quality were excellent, including good bass when I was listening to music.

It comes with a charging case that has a video display showing the battery charge for the case and the earbuds (see photo), a very short usb cable to charge the case, and a manual. The manual has the smallest type size I’ve ever seen; I had to use a magnifying glass to read it.

There’s no app. You control the earbuds by tapping or swiping the globes behind your ear. There’s audible beep every time you tap, so you can be sure you’re doing it right. Fortunately, there a printed summary, in a reasonable size type, showing the control gestures (see photos).

These are well-designed, good quality earbuds, and (at least for me) solved the falling-out problem.

Impressed!

I am truly impressed by these little earbuds! For the price point I wasn’t really expecting a whole lot- and I didn’t really understand how they were supposed to stay secure for activity- but they are great! I’m typically an AirPods girly, but I get a little overstimulated when my ears are plugged for so long. I LOVE that these do not block your ear canal, they are super comfy to wear, the battery is lasting for so long, and they are easy to put in the case (which also charges them!) They seem like great quality. Once I paired them with my phone, they connect instantly when you take them out of the case. Sound quality— average. They aren’t going to blow you away. For me- great for listening to music at a lower volume, or laying in bed next to my sleeping spouse so I can watch TikTok videos without disturbing him!

Solid Open-Ear Option for Workouts

I picked these up for workouts and walks as my other earbuds are all in-ear and noise cancelling. The clip-on design is light and stays secure, even during runs. Since they sit outside the ear canal, there is no pressure or plugged-ear feeling. Sound quality is clear for music and podcasts, though bass lovers will notice much less sound punch. Call quality is solid, and people hear me clearly. The LED charging case is handy and shows battery levels at a glance. Battery life easily covers a few gym sessions. Instruction sheet has very small text and was difficult to read. They click in the magnetic case nice and securely. Good value for the money.

Finally, we found comfortable, pain-free headphones!

I purchased these in-ear headphones for my daughter after an extensive search. We tried several brands and models, but most caused her discomfort or pain, especially during long trips. Our goal was to find a solution that would allow her to listen to music without completely blocking her ear canal or creating pressure, and these headphones met our expectations.

The open-ear clip-on design has been the key to their success. They are incredibly lightweight—you barely feel them—and they don’t go into the ear canal, which makes a significant difference in comfort. My daughter can now wear them for hours, even on long journeys, without any discomfort.

The sound quality is clear and well-balanced for both music and calls. The microphone's noise cancellation ensures that calls are clear, even in environments with background noise. Additionally, the Bluetooth 5.4 connection is fast and stable; they pair instantly, and we haven't experienced any dropouts or delays.

Another highlight is the battery life, which offers up to 24 hours of total use with the charging case. The LED display is very practical for monitoring the battery level of each earbud and the case at all times. Lastly, their IPX5 water resistance makes them ideal not only for travel but also for sports activities and everyday use.
