The Nank Clip Super clip-on earbuds are the latest clip-on earbuds to hit the market which have become popular now and after reviewing some 50 pairs at this stage I kind alike them myself, when they first arrived on the scene I was not the biggest fan but this has changed over the last year and I am now a fan.
The style we get here is similar to others but have a pillow like shape to the hardwear on one side and pearl shaped on the other that sitsinto your esr with directional speakers.
You will not get ANC with these but they will isoalte some sound indoors is perfect for them when maxed out and you will be hearing very little outside what you listen to and enjoy immersive audio in quiter areas.
Having said this these clip-ons are great for outdoor and more so you can hear what is going on around you which is not a bad thing, if you want outdoor noise cancelling buds these are not for you but if you want to hear your surrounding and good audio these are for you they are secure one clipped on correctly.
For the audio these deliver good sound with the 16.2mm ceramic drivers despite no app as of now hopefully in the next iteration there will be so you are stuck with what you get out of the box however the sound is good overall with no tinny sound or lag latency during my testing I was pleased with the audio and taking into consideration the design here they pack a real puch and highs lows and mids all sound good and have a decent volume, call where also fine on these it has to be said.
Battey life is solid for the style of earbud giving you up to 32 hours of charge and come with wireless charging. Overall for the price there is much on offer and they look good and sound good.

Shokz, the pioneer of open-ear audio innovation latest offering is the OpenDots ONE and we have been testing these out the last while and while this is a earbud style that is catching on now with many manufacturers these are one of the best in class yet for bone conduction.
The most notable feature of the OpenDots ONE is their unique design. Instead of a traditional ear-hook or in-ear fit, they use a “JointArc” clip-on mechanism made of a flexible nickel-titanium alloy with soft silicone padding. At just 6.5 grams per earbud, they are exceptionally lightweight and designed to provide a secure fit when running or training in the gym.
Open-ear earbuds can compromise on sound quality due to the design and shape and not fitting quite like tradional earbuds. However, the OpenDots ONE aim to defy this expectation with their Bassphere technology which uses dual 11.8mm drivers to deliver an almost in-ear earbud experience. This, combined with Dolby Audio support, results in a surprisingly full and bass-rich sound for their class. These also have Dynamic Ear Detection on deck which means like many of these they can differentiate between left and right automatically.
In a quiet environment, the audio is clear and balanced. Voices and music are well-defined, and the Bassphere technology provides a much-needed low-end presence that is often lacking in open-ear designs. You will not get the full in-ear or headphone experience but these are close and with the app you have control over the sound stage you want they are loud and there is notable differences between the EQs here unlike other offerings out there with a similar design you will be impressed there is some leakeage when they are maxed out on volume
The OpenDots ONE boast impressive battery life. You can expect up to 10 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge, with the compact wireless charging case providing an additional 30 hours for a total of 40 hours. A quick 10-minute charge gives you two hours of listening time. The case supports both USB-C and Qi wireless charging, adding a layer of convenience this will be different for every user with how they have theirs set up but the battery life claimed as most do is claim is almost accurate.
The Shokz OpenDots ONE are a great addition into the clip-on open-ear market. They offer excellent comfort and a secure fit, making them a fantastic choice for those who dislike traditional earbuds or prioritize situational awareness which with the dark nights now closing in is a not a bad idea for people that walk or jog etc and those who want to try the new design who have not done so yet this is around the 20th pair of this type of clip-on for me to review now and they come with Find My Earbuds on board which is great if lost or isplaced at home of the office and whilst not a fan when they came out I am now.
While no open-ear headphone can completely match the sound isolation of an in-ear model or headphones the OpenDots ONE deliver a good audio experience with impressive bass for their design and give you a near tpyical in- ear experience.
The touch controls can be a bit tricky as there is two areas but you will over time get the thumb memory in action, and with their app you have more control, these are more expensive that others we have tried but as mentioned one of the best so far this year, check out the video below for more..

Smarter Sound, Perfectly Balanced: Audio That Adapts to You
The Crossky C50 introduces a new era of personalized listening with self-adaptive magnetic contact technology and a symmetrical acoustic cavity, which intelligently balances audio between the left and right earbuds.

The Edifier Comfo C open-ear clip-on earbuds have been in my ears for a bit now and their latest earbud design which is catching on in the market does not disappoint.
Again this is a new style of earbuds now gaining traction in the market and we have tried several to date and these are now getting better each pair we test out.
The presentation is standard here and all you need is in the box and kept simple as always.
The fit is one concern people ask me with these new clip-on earbuds and they fit rather well as any other pair we have reviewed over the last few months and they are secure you can go jogging go to the gym and cycle with these on and with not being a full on in ear earbud you can hear your surroundings which is perfect for those on the move.
They are also comfortable to wear given their design you can wear for hours on end and like any other earbud you will forget they are there in no time.
The sound is quite good here with their 12mm drivers and expected from Edifier and they pack a punch you also have their app to tune things up a little more and now with app access with these earbuds they are getting better and almost like a true in-ear experience most people are custom to these days.
With access to the EDIFIER ConneX App y0u get additional functions: drainage function, personalize control settings, find your earbuds, and some EQ functions making them more favourable over ones out there with no app access.
Highs lows and mids all good no tinny sound no lag latency great bass and decent volume can be had here which is great, you can play/pause skip/reverse tracks basically all you need is here apart from ANC.
You also have decent battery life and calls have been clear on my testing they also have an IP56 rating and overall there is nothing to complain about here and I love the colour we got to checkout see more in the video review below on what to expect.
The Edifier Comfo C are their first offering into the clip-on open-ear market in which we are now seeing many brands drop lately, we have several reviews coming up and more on the way in this area of earbuds and they seem to be popular with users.
These come in a nice smooth case and several colour options too so there is a choice for the consumer which is great as with many new products you get the base Black or White option not this time though.
These also have access to the EDIFIER ConneX App which is great and we will be testing these out over the next few weeks so if you have any questions drop em below and check out what these look like in the hand below.
