Sony has launched the LinkBuds Clip, a new pair of truly wireless open-clip earbuds designed to let users hear their music and their surroundings simultaneously. The C-shaped design avoids the ear canal, aiming for all-day comfort and situational awareness. They come in four colors and are available now for $229.99.

These earbuds feature three listening modes: Standard, Voice Boost for noisy areas, and Sound Leakage Reduction for quiet spaces. Sony leverages its audio tuning expertise from the 1000X series, offering DSEE upscaling, 10-band EQ, and excellent call quality via bone conduction sensors. Battery life hits 37 hours with a quick-charge feature.

The LinkBuds Clip target a growing market for open-ear audio, competing with products from brands like Shokz. Their social-friendly design and environmental packaging (plastic-free, 20% recycled materials) appeal to daily commuters and active users.
