JBL’s clip-on open earbuds could be a stylish, comfortable alternative to traditional wireless buds

JBL Soundgear Clips wireless earbuds in white with the carry case.

The JBL Soundgear Clips are a new set of lightweight open-ear headphones that use air conduction technology to deliver “high-quality sound”.

Launched at CES 2026, the Soundgear Clips have been designed with comfort in mind. The earbuds are secured in place via a soft TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) arc that allows the buds to be clipped around the listener’s ear, wearing the buds like an ear cuff.
