The LinkBuds Clip are like Clippy for your ears (they’re not like that at all).
If you needed further proof that open-ear audio is having a very big moment, Sony is here to back you up. Today, the company announced its LinkBuds Clip, which are a new pair of open-ear wireless earbuds that stray away from the design of its previous LinkBuds Open.
Unlike the LinkBuds Open, which have a donut-shaped bulb that rests in your ear, the LinkBuds Clip (you guessed it) clip to your ears like other open-style wireless earbuds from Bose or Soundpeats. Personally, I think that move was the right choice. Having used the LinkBuds Open a bit myself, the donut shape was nice for securing the earbuds in your ears and for sound quality, but it definitely paled in comparison to other open-style earbuds when it came to hearing your environment. I haven’t used the LinkBuds Open myself yet, but I’m willing to wager that you can hear a lot more of your surroundings with them on.
