JBL OpenSound uses air conduction technology to deliver high quality sound without closing off the ear canal. By not blocking out a listener’s environment they can stay aware of their surroundings. The new SonicArc shape perfectly positions the speaker for the best bass performance and stops sound leakage, allowing for calls and listening sessions to remain private.

JBL Soundgear CLIPS also feature an Adaptive Bass Boost algorithm for optimized audio and 4 mics for crisp calls allowing the headphones to clearly identify a user’s voice, no matter the background noise.

Inspired by the latest fashion trends, JBL Soundgear CLIPS feature a striking metallic tint and translucent finish – the perfect statement piece for any look. The clip-on design lets you comfortably add it to your earring stack or pair it with sunglasses, so you’ll never have to compromise on accessories. Whether you prefer sleek and neutral or a pop of color, JBL Soundgear CLIPS offer four unique colorways to complement any outfit, no matter your style. Complete with a color-matched compact case that slips easily into your pocket, and up to 32 hours of battery, JBL Soundgear CLIPS are ideal for all day wear.

JBL Soundgear CLIPS will be available on JBL.com for $149.95 in March 2026. Color options include copper, blue, purple, and white.
