Open-ear earbuds
JBL's first ear-cuff earbuds: each one clips around the ear instead of hooking over it, leaving the ear canal open. Like other open-ear designs, they don't block outside noise.

Clip-on design
A soft arc over a memory wire hook clips onto the ear and can be worn with earrings or sunglasses. Reviewers found the clip took time to get used to but stayed put during exercise.
-
Strong open-ear sound
Reviewers found the sound strong for an open-ear design, comparing well with other open-ear earbuds.
-
No noise isolation
The open design neither seals nor cancels outside noise, so reviewers found the Clips better suited to workouts, walks and casual listening than noisy commutes.
