Nubia just dropped its new open-ear clip-style earbuds, the LiveClip 2, and they’re now available starting from September 16. The brand is clearly pushing further into the affordable audio space with something that focuses on comfort.

The first thing you’ll notice is the charging case: it’s smoked black and transparent, with three different RGB lighting effects you can switch between. The earbuds themselves use a C-shaped bridge made from memory metal and soft skin-friendly silicone. The idea is that they follow the natural shape of your ear so they stay put without putting pressure on anything, even if you’re wearing them for hours. Each bud weighs just 5.0g and has a life waterproof rating, so they should handle sweat and light moisture without issues.

Sound comes from 11 mm composite titanium diaphragm drivers. If you want the AI voice assistant, just press and hold either the left or right bud for two seconds. They’re on Bluetooth 6.0 with about a 10-meter wireless range. Battery life is listed at around 6.5 hours on a single charge, and roughly 30 hours total with the case. The case itself is 62 × 62 × 30 mm, has a Type-C port, and packs a 300 mAh battery that powers the two 35 mAh cells in the earbuds. Right now they’re only offered in black.

These are an upgrade over the original LiveClip that came out earlier in 2025. That earlier model had lighter 4.5 g buds, smaller 10 mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.4, and launched at around 180 yuan. The LiveClip 2 bumps up the driver size, moves to the newer Bluetooth standard, improves overall battery life, and adds the transparent RGB case for a more eye-catching design, while keeping the same open-ear clip style.

Pricing and availability

At 289 yuan, they’re aimed at people who want a lightweight, comfortable alternative to regular in-ear buds, with some basic AI features and solid all-day battery life. You can already find them listed on the major Chinese e-commerce platforms. There’s currently no word on the global rollout of the LiveClip 2.
