SoundPEATS Open-ear Clip-on Earbuds PearlClip Pro Review

The SoundPEATS Open-ear Clip-on Earbuds PearlClip Pro are their latest on offer giving you a bit more though compared to the PopClip we recently checked out there is some differences between both but both deliver in the audio department.

The design on the PearClip Pro for me is the winner with a premium finish and look and better design however this is just my feelings on them.

The design on both of these earbuds is nice and the new design we will see more of again this year and these fit well on the ears and more secure than one would expect delivering the sound into your ears slightly differently than conventional earbuds yet allowing you to hear your surroundings too.

The audio is also slightly better here and comparing the PopClip they do stand out a bit more all round with the full audio experience overall. The PearClip Pro offer an almost real in ear earbud listening experience and with their app you have many controls at hand to enhance the overall experience and the 12mm Dual-Magnet Driver & Dynamic EQ for clear highs and deep bass and adjustments on their app seals the deal for me here over the 10.8mm drivers on the Pop Clip you will not be dissapointed.

The controls also work well being touch based over button control on the PoP Clip on the earbuds with all the functions you need at hand wit your skip and reverse tracks lower and higher volume profile change and access to your voice assistant, calls also pretty clear on testing and overall a great pair of clip-on earbuds to be had here if you have not tried them yet, between them both they both do a great job here and it is down to personal taste both have the same functionality slightly different looks but the PearClip Pro take the winners seat for me overall.

Vibrant, colourful and now universal, the Chipolo POP works with Apple’s Find My network or Google’s Find My Device to help busy bees find their lost keys and misplaced bags no matter the device. As a cherry on top, Chipolo POP has extra features available – like being able to call one’s phone – in the free Chipolo companion app.

Available worldwide on their webpage and via Amazon, the Chipolo POP is set at £30/$29/€35 with the below features:

To use your Chipolo POP on an Android™ device, your device must be running Android 9 or later with Google Play Services installed. To use it on an Apple device, the latest version of iOS, iPadOS or macOS is recommended.

  • User safety built-in: Chipolo POP benefits from Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find My Device built-in safety and protection features, including unknown tracker alerts – notifications that let you know if an unfamiliar tracker is moving with you that work across both Android and iOS devices.

  • Loud sound: Easily locate your items with a loud ring that is 120db high.

  • Extra features available via the free companion Chipolo app:

    • Call Your Phone: Be able to ring your phone with your Chipolo POP – even if it’s on silent!

  • Paper packaging: A new look for packaging, designed with sustainability in mind the new packaging comes slimmer with a matte finish – and made from paper only

  • Bluetooth range: Now up to 300ft / 90m

  • Long, replaceable battery life: Lasts up to 1 year with the easy and sustainable option to replace the battery.

Chipolo POP App

“The tracking tag market has continued to grow over the years. In fact, the market has experienced a year-on-year growth of 7.76% in the last 4 years. It highlights the people’s demand for more convenience and peace of mind. The POP further answers this desire from the market – delivering a product that gives consumers what they want while reflecting Chipolo’s core values and mission to help people live their lives to the fullest.” said Primož Zelenšek, Co-founder and CEO at Chipolo.

With a Matte texture finish offering more grip made with TPU and PC translucent material you have the perfect case here with tactile keys and looks really well, there is a decent lip round front and rear and the camera lens kept safe too.
