Overview

Clip-on open earbuds

Sony's ear-cuff earbuds clip onto the outer ear and leave the ear canal open, so surrounding sound stays audible. Reviewers found them comfortable but the bass light and the features basic.

  • Ear-cuff fit

    Each earbud clips onto the middle of the outer ear, and removable fitting cushions help it grip. Reviewers found them light enough to forget, though fit varies by ear and some needed the cushions to stop slipping or pinching.

  • Voice Boost and leakage reduction

    Voice Boost raises the volume and brings voices forward in noisy places, and Sound Leakage Reduction cuts what people nearby hear in quiet ones. Reviewers found the leakage mode works by trimming treble, and the EQ applies only in Standard mode.

  • Light bass

    With nothing sealing the ear, reviewers found the bass weak, though they praised the clarity and sense of space.

Battery

Rated up to 9 hours per charge and 37 hours with the case. A 3-minute charge gives about an hour.

Charging

The case charges over USB-C only; there is no wireless charging.

Water resistance

The earbuds are rated IPX4 against splashes and sweat; the case is not water resistant.
