Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the most annoying thing with an earbud is not being able to hear and the second is when the caller cannot hear you. I have had these for a month and no issues. No frying noise, no disconnects. Good quality sound. Battery life is great. The only short fall and it is not a factor is there is no call announce and no verbal way to answer or reject a call. Otherwise these are winners!

The JBL Soundgear Clips are a product I genuinely wanted to love. On paper, they check a lot of boxes: lightweight design, great color options, and a clever clip‑on concept that promises comfort without the typical in‑ear rubber tips I usually dislike. In practice, though, my experience ended up being a mix of positives and frustrations. The design is one of the strongest aspects. They look modern, clean, and feel extremely lightweight — so much so that when worn in the standard position, I often forget I have them on. The clip mechanism is quick and easy, making them convenient for everyday activities. Build quality is solid, and the materials feel premium. However, the open‑ear concept didn’t work as well for me as I hoped. To get the speakers closer to my ear canal, I had to reposition them so they clipped onto my earlobe, and that made me look a bit goofy. It’s not a deal‑breaker for everyone, but it’s something to keep in mind. Sound is surprisingly good for an open‑ear design. They deliver a pleasant listening experience with clear mids and highs, and I actually enjoy the Special effects you can plat them thru JBL headphones app, they sound real and are very relaxing. Case 1) I tried using them at the gym where there are some tv's playing people making moving noises in the background, not a lot but enough to annoy me. In order to make my content usable to my ear i have to turn it way up and then it's still mingling with eachother. Case 2) I said ok let me slide them in my motorcycle helmet and see how that goes but i can't make them stay. So in the end i'm not sure what i would use them for. As much as i like how they look and would want to wear them, they don't work in the environments where i'd actually want them the most.

The JBL Soundgear Clips are truly amazing. Their noise‑reduction technology makes them perfect for the gym, running, and even office use. They stay comfortable for long periods, and the open‑ear design feels natural and lightweight. Overall, they deliver great sound, great comfort, and great versatility — an excellent choice for anyone with an active lifestyle.

I want to start this off by saying this is my first open ear concept wireless bud headphone..I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I got these and maybe I had different expectations. I would think for people who are used to this type of concept, they probably would be great, maybe even phenomenal for them. For me, not so much. --------- When holding the speaker part more into my ear, I can tell that the sound quality on these are fantastic. However that's where my problems begin as these just do not sit right in my ear at all, nor comfortably. I think my ear hole might be a little deeper to truly enjoy these headphones. I also find they don't stay "clipped" quite well onto my ear, especially sweating. --------- The overall design/appearance I really love..the clear transparent look with the bronze color is really beautiful looking. --------- The microphone sounds great. People haven't complained in this use case for me. I like that the JBL app lets you customize the mic settings and even do a sound recording test to pick the best profile. --------- I personally think room for improvement here is for JBL to somehow implement ear cushions or ear tips to attach to these for people who have a different shape ear or require more adjustment for comfort. Or somehow allowing you to extend/stretch out the curved stem part that clips around your ear. I think the design where it stands limits how much flexibility these could have with a little more fine tuning/engineering. --------- Another issue I have is when listening at a higher volume, everyone around me can hear what I'm listening to. Again I am not sure if this due to the design not being best suited for my ear structure or what, but I do not like that people are able to hear what is coming through the headphones, whether that is music or a phone conversation. --------- I really was looking forward to these, and wanted to love them. The little bit of research I did made it sound like these fit more snug and had a better fit than the typical stem type wireless ear buds. I don't want to put all this negative on JBL as I think I am part to blame for not knowing enough ahead of time. I think these can be great for people who are already comfortable and used to open ear headphones and I think JBL can make these exceptional if they implement some upgrades to the design that I spoke on here

I love that I can be apart of the environment around me while still having clear phone conversations. Much more comfortable and stylish with the open-ear design.

Not super impressed with the battery life, but overall I like the sound quality and comfortability of these

Clip ons are great, sound quality is great but it did give some skin allergic reactions which made me return the product

The the clarity of the earphones is good and the battery life is amazing on the charging case and on the earbud itself

It sounds amazing but my shoulder keeps touching the button on the back and it turns off n on. very sensitive buttons on the back both sides.

Good Battery life, works very well, and it stays on your ear as advertised

Love everything about this product, especially the noise cancelation feature I live for ,excellent vibes. Believe me when I say I have tried them all.

Perfect sound as if you are in a surround sound movie theater.

Still learning the ends and out! But for the most part the sound quality is great!!

Best ear buds I've owned. They just work with no issues. Great sound. I love the design as I am active and these stay in place. Easy to get them in and out of the charging case. I've got a stack of cheaper ones that have all failed but these are robust and are holding up well. Pricey but you get solid quality and performance. Great battery and mic as well.

These JBL Soundgear Clips work very well. I'm very happy with the purchase. I would recommend it to anyone who needs open-ear headphones.

Great sound but does disconnect. I like the color purple.

Excelente , very Clear the sound & Light, Beautiful, the weight

I recommend this to everyone who has more money on the bank

I’ve tried quite a few different ear buds over the years, but for times when I don’t need noise cancellation, these are now my absolute favorite pair. The open-ear technology is the game changer. When I’m doing chores inside or outside and want to listen to music or a podcast, I also still want to hear my surroundings and these work perfectly. I think these have a very cool design and I love the translucent charging case they come with. It only took me a couple of times to get used to how they clip around my ears and now I can pop them in and out without even thinking about it. Once put in place, I can hardly tell anything is there. There’s no more silicone pressed into my ear and worrying about keeping it sealed for the best sound. These just sort of hover in front of my ear canal. I could easily wear these all day without any of the discomfort I get from the traditional ear buds. It’s true they don’t have the strong bass and pristine sound that you might get with a traditional ear bud sealed into your ear, but the sound is very, very good. In fact, it’s a lot better than I had been expecting. It’s plenty good for listening to music, and of course podcasts are fine. Given the huge improvement in comfort and the ability to also hear ambient sounds clearly, any trade-off in music quality is negligible to me. Connecting the Clips was super easy on both my Windows laptop and my Android phone. In fact, after charging them in the case, I pulled them out and instantly got a pop-up on my Windows PC asking if I wanted to pair. They can pair to two devices, so I had to look in the quick start guide to see how to add a second. I just put it pair mode (one tap then tap/hold for 5 seconds) and then I got a pop-up on my Android phone so I could pair. It was the easiest setup. I also installed the JBL app on my phone although I’m not sure I’ll even need it. In the app, you can check battery status, adjust the equalizer settings and balance, and set the control gestures among other things. I did notice under “other” settings there’s a “Relax Mode” that might be useful sometimes. It has built-in ocean, nighttime, campfire, forest, and running water sounds that you can have piped into the ear buds for a certain amount of time. You can pick them individually or mix and match the combined sounds. I wouldn’t buy these ear buds based on that, but it’s definitely a nice little bonus feature to have. One last advantage of these Clips I’ll mention is something I notice when I’m using them outside. If a mosquito, gnat, or some other bug touches my ear, my hand instinctively shoots up to swat it away from my ear. With traditional in-ear ear buds, I usually either knock the ear bud out of my ear or hit the controls on it which may even hang up a call I’m on (it’s happened before). The beauty of the Clips is the controls are on the part that clips behind your ear, so I’ve been happily swatting away any bugs and not causing problems with my listening. It’s another reason I love these ear buds so much!

These JBL Soundgear Clips wireless Bluetooth are really, really well made and I truly love them, from the case to the color of these earbuds. I already had the JBL App downloaded on my devices and the setup and pairing was quick and simple. Once I opened the box and saw these “earbuds” and the COLOR of them I was amazed, they are beautiful. The case is well made and fits perfectly in your pocket and a backpack. As far as the most important part of these JBL buds is the sound and it is crystal clear. The thing that I love about these is I have a problem wearing these type of devices w/ ear fatigue, to the point I can’t wear them over an hour or more, w/ these JBL Soundgear’s I didn’t have that problem. They are very lightweight and to be honest, I don’t even notice them. I have used these exclusively since I received them when I go for a walk and they stay in place and don’t fall out. The sound of these JBL’s are comparable w/ the high end devices that are out there but for a fraction of their cost. I highly recommend these JBL Soundgear Clips
