I have been looking for the longest for earbuds that don’t actually go into your ear like most do. Cleer Audio just came out with these, so I decided to take a chance on these. The short verdict: very good if you’re looking for this type of ear bud.
Pros:
They don’t go into your ear canal which is great.
You can hear ambient sound (good and bad) without having to turn on some ambient sound setting that just hisses in your ear anyway.
They are comfortable. They wrap around your ear but just rest on them without applying pressure. You could probably fall asleep with these things on.
You can fast-forward, go to the next track, raise or lower the volume, and other functions by tapping the right or left earpiece using certain touch and hold combinations.
Sound is good although being an open-ear design does limit the fidelity some compared to in-ear designs but that’s to be expected. They do sound better than I anticipated.
Voice quality for phone calls was excellent. I didn’t test it in a noisy or windy environment yet though.
Comes with a carrying/charging case and you can download an accompanying app to tweak the sound settings.
Cons:
The accompanying app is pretty basic with an equalizer and that’s about it. Didn’t really change the sound much so I kept it on normal.
No widget options from the app for controls or even the battery percentage. I’d really like to have that on my home screen.
Case has a 10 inch USB cable charging cable attached which is quite short. There is no battery in the case, so you will always have to plug these in to charge. I’d recommend keeping a 3 foot USB extension cable in your bag so it’s easier to charge it.
No wireless charging support either.
Volume seems decent, but I think it’d get overwhelmed in a very noisy environment.
Overall, I’m happy with these. I bought them for my wife since she never like in-ear designs either. I’ll probably get another set for me to keep with my laptop and to use at work since they are not as noticeable or as bulky as over-ear headphones.
