OnePlus has launched its first clip-on wireless earbuds, the OnePlus Buds Clip, in global markets. The earbuds include an open-ear C-shaped design that allows users to stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying high-quality audio.

OnePlus Buds Clip Specifications

The Buds Clip features automatic left and right ear detection, allowing users to wear either earbud on either ear. Unlike traditional earbuds designed for specific ears, the Buds Clip uses a symmetrical design with built-in sensors that automatically detect ear placement and adjust the left and right stereo audio channels accordingly.

Physically, the earbuds weigh just 5.2 grams each and feature a flexible nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) memory alloy C-shaped bridge designed to reduce pressure on the ear cartilage. The design has received TÜV Rheinland Comfortable Fit certification.

On the audio front, the Buds Clip features Dynaudio-tuned dual drivers, including an 11mm woofer and a 9mm tweeter, powered by dual DACs. The earbuds support the LHDC 3.0 codec for high-definition audio streaming. OnePlus has also integrated dipole sound field technology, which uses reverse sound waves to minimize sound leakage and prevent nearby people from hearing the audio.

The earbuds are equipped with a 6nm AI audio chip. This processor is primarily tasked with handling call quality, processing audio from a six-microphone array that includes bone-conduction voice pick-up units to separate the user’s voice from background noise.

In terms of battery life, the Buds Clip delivers up to 9.5 hours of playback on a single charge, extending to 40 hours with the charging case. However, enabling the LHDC codec reduces playback time to 8 hours per charge and 36 hours in total.

The Buds Clip features IP55-rated dust and water resistance, Bluetooth 6.1, and multipoint connectivity for pairing with two devices simultaneously. The earbuds also support Google Fast Pair and Windows Swift Pair, along with swipe gestures for volume adjustment, alerts when an earbud falls off, and AI-powered translation through a compatible OnePlus smartphone.

The earbuds come in three color options: Pearl White, Pebble Gray, and Twilight Rose. OnePlus has yet to reveal pricing details.

In related news, Edifier has launched its We-Bass clip-on earbuds with 12mm drivers, IP55-rated protection, and up to 20 hours of battery life. Meanwhile, Baseus has introduced the MC2 NC clip-on earbuds with up to -50dB ANC, LDAC support, built-in AI features, and up to 60 hours of battery life.
