After a week of giving these headphones a try, I’m happy to give a two thumbs up kind of review. I wear these while biking to and from work, and can clearly hear the music AND still have complete awareness of what is around me. I work in a noisy environment, but a noisy environment in which it is very important, for my safety and the safety of my coworkers, to be able to hear what is happening. These are working great for that purpose. At medium volume, even the noisiest equipment isn’t covering up the sounds of my music or podcast, but I easily hear any novel sounds. And putting the volume down a notch or two, I can have a conversation. Charge works great for a full day of listening without a recharge, and after popping them in the case after work, they are fully charged and ready for the next day. They also stay on, no sliding or coming off, no matter how many times I’m bending over or climbing up and down ladders.The sole negative is that I don’t think there’s a way to have this style of ear piece be fully comfortable. It’s not awful, but it’s similar to wearing glasses with wide frames for an extended period of time.
Q –
Initial set up was fairly easy, but there are no external controls, and whether it connects to my phone seems up to chance. It should connect “automatically” when you open the case. However, it only does that part of the time. Also the sound is apparently bad for calls. I get clear sound, but the people on the other end all report quite a bit of static. For $180 at the time of order, this is very overpriced, in my opinion for results like this.

BOTTOM LINE:1. I recommend this Cleer sport open ear headphones.2. The current price of ~$170 is reasonable.LIKES:- Sound is good.- Attaches to my ears easily enough. I have to remove my glasses first, install these earphones, then put my glasses back on.- No trouble for others to hear me on phone calls.- UV sterilizers!- Awesome sterilizing charging case.- Connects to multiple devices.DISLIKES:- Case is not wirelessly charged.

I bought these headphones after reading a Wirecutter recommendation, and at first, I was delighted – I’d never used headphones that go inside your ear, and the sound is excellent. I use them for jogging, which seemed ideal.Nonetheless, less than three months later, the charger in the case is not working well. This would be fine if it weren’t for that to be the only way to charge them. To be clear, I dry my headphones after I run and let them air out before I put them in the case. I tried various solutions suggested online, including cleaning, using a pencil and eraser, and more. Nothing worked. The only thing that works is pushing the headphones slightly down to one side so that the charger in the case better aligns with the headphone charging ports and then using tape to keep it stuck until it charges. This is time-consuming, cumbersome, and annoying, so I give it three stars.One final criticism is that the digital controls needed to be revised. I have to disable them (and check that they’re disabled) before every run, or they activate while I’m running. Sometimes, they even turn off while I’m running (even after I turn off the controls).It would be great if they worked well, but they don’t. And for my standards, I splurged on these headphones, which makes it even more frustrating.

Some time has passed, and because I enjoy using these headphones very much now, I felt obliged to update my original review. It may have been a bit too harsh.**GOOD PART**The Bluetooth distance is phenomenal. I can walk around the house, close to 100 feet away from my phone, before it starts to break up.After several software updates and the manufacturer’s suggestions, I haven’t had any dropped calls in a long time. Plus, changing the volume restrictions in my iPhone’s settings also helped me hear much clearer in loud places. However, this is an open-ear design, so it’s natural that loud places will affect clarity.What I enjoy most about these headphones is the very clear sound, even at low volume. They sound much better to me than any other headphones I’ve tried in the same category, including AirPods or PowerBeats Pro for comparison.**UGLY PART**The controlling function by head movement doesn’t work for me at all, and I’ve disabled it. Where I’d like to see some improvements is in the case itself. Because it has a fabric-like texture, it’s not only hard to clean but also slippery and bulky.The reason I give it 4 stars now is that music clarity and ease of wear/fit behind the ear are priorities to me.
