One of the first sets of open earphones to emerge were Sony’s original LinkBuds which landed in February 2022 with a doughnut-shaped driver and a figure eight design that allowed in outside noise naturally.
In January 2024, Sony introduced its first clip-on open earphones, sensibly titled LinkBuds Clip.
Like other clip-on earbuds, they promise a agreeable and secure fit across a variety of ear types. They are built to suit those who wear their earbuds throughout the day.
The design is inspired by ear cuffs and features a wide range of colour variations and the option to personalise your purchase with optional case covers and removable fitting cushions.
The always-on clip design allows users to hear their surroundings and their music at the same time, and there are three Sony listening modes to suit different environments.
Sony also promises rich, balanced sound quality tuned with the firm’s audio expertise and the LinkBuds Clip also include the popular DSEE upscaling feature and a customisable 10-band EQ.
Sony also said the stylish looking new buds offer clear calls thanks to AI technology and a bone conduction sensor that it said will keep your voice sharp in any habitat.
Battery life is rated at 5.5 hours with the earbuds and 24 hours with the charging case.
Sony LinkBuds Clip are available now in greige, Black, Lavender and Green from Amazon for approximately €229.
