Las pruebas
Performance
The 12mm dual-magnet driver is the star here. Sound quality lands in the 98th percentile, which means it's one of the best open-ear options we've tested. LDAC support helps, transmitting roughly 3x more data than SBC, so you get real detail and a wide soundstage. Bass is present and distortion-free, which is rare for clip-ons. Battery life is solid at 6 hours per charge and 24 with the case, plus a 10-minute quick charge gets you 2 hours. The mic is average, and ANC is basically nonexistent, but that's expected for open-ear. Connectivity is fine with Bluetooth 6.0 and multipoint, though it's nothing to write home about.

vs Competition
Against the Soundcore P31i, the PearlClip Pro wins on sound quality but loses on battery and ANC. The Sony WF-C700N has better noise cancellation and a more premium feel, but it costs significantly more and doesn't offer the same open-ear comfort. The EarFun Air Pro 4+ is a stronger all-rounder with better battery and mic, but again, you're paying more. For pure open-ear sound on a budget, the PearlClip Pro beats them all. The Nothing Ear (3) and Anker Space A40 are in a different category entirely, with better ANC and features, but they're not open-ear and cost more.

Value & Pricing
At $30 USD, this is a steal. You're getting sound quality that competes with buds three times the price, plus LDAC and a comfortable open-ear design. The battery and mic are nothing special, but for the money, the PearlClip Pro delivers where it counts. If you want open-ear audio without spending a fortune, this is the one to get.
Price History

Overview
The SoundPEATS PearlClip Pro is a clip-on open-ear bud that nails the basics and then some. You get LDAC, Bluetooth 6.0, a 12mm dual-magnet driver, and a design that just clips onto your ear without blocking anything. It's cheap, it's comfortable enough, and the sound is genuinely impressive for the price.
WIRED called it the best cheap clip-on, and honestly, they're not wrong. The sound quality sits in the 98th percentile in our database, which is wild for a $30 pair of earbuds. The build feels solid too. It's not perfect, but for open-ear audio on a budget, this thing punches way above its weight.
Common Questions
Q: Do these stay on during workouts?
Yes, the nickel-titanium memory alloy C-bridge and silicone coating keep them secure during most activities. The IPX5 rating also means they can handle sweat and light rain.
Q: Can I use these with glasses?
Absolutely. The clip-on design rests on your ear without interfering with glasses, masks, or sunglasses. Many open-ear users specifically choose this style for that reason.
Q: How is the sound compared to in-ear buds?
The 12mm dual-magnet driver and LDAC support deliver surprisingly rich, detailed sound with good bass. You won't get the same noise isolation as in-ear buds, but the audio quality is excellent for open-ear.
Who Should Skip This
Skip these if you need real noise cancellation or long battery life. The ANC is basically decorative, and 6 hours per charge won't get you through a full workday without a case top-up. If you take a lot of calls, the mic is also just okay. Look at the Sony WF-C700N or EarFun Air Pro 4+ if those matter more than open-ear comfort.
Verdict
If you want open-ear earbuds that sound great and don't cost much, buy the PearlClip Pro. It's perfect for commuters, runners, and anyone who hates the feeling of in-ear buds. The sound quality is the main event, and it delivers. Just don't expect miracles from the mic or battery.
