Nothing Clip Pro and SoundPeats POP Clip2 Open‑Ear Earbuds Reviewed

Nothing Ltd. released the Clip Pro open‑ear earbuds, featuring a minimalist CMF design that sits outside the ear canal. Reviewers noted the ultra‑light feel and easy Bluetooth pairing, but expressed concern that the open design makes them feel paranoid about others hearing their audio. In practice, the earbuds emit very little sound, even at full volume, and the reviewer reported that coworkers could not hear the music.

SoundPeats introduced the POP Clip2 (also marketed as the UU2), a U‑shaped open‑ear model priced at £59.99. Weighing about 5 g per earbud, it offers an “invisible” feel, physical buttons, IPX5 water resistance, and adaptive left/right recognition. The battery provides up to 10 hours of playback per charge and a total of 42 hours with the case, with fast‑charging capability. Audio performance includes 12 mm titanium‑coated drivers and LDAC hi‑res support, delivering deep bass and clear sound while remaining comfortable for all‑day wear.
