TCL unveiled its CrystalClip earbuds at MWC 2026, introducing an open-ear design that prioritizes comfort and environmental awareness. The clip-on earbuds weigh just 5.5 grams per earbud and feature air conduction technology for balanced audio while keeping users connected to their surroundings. TCL positions these as a response to growing consumer demand for extended-wear audio solutions.

Engineered for all-day wearability, the CrystalClip uses a titanium memory metal structure and maintains a lab-validated clamping force of 43 grams for stability without discomfort. The earbuds offer up to 36 hours of total battery life with fast charging capabilities and feature Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity with dual-device switching. An IPX4 water resistance rating makes them suitable for workouts and everyday mobility.

The CrystalClip delivers immersive audio through dual-magnetic dynamic drivers and 3D Spatial Audio technology, with enhanced bass tuning for richer sound. Dual-mic ENC noise cancellation ensures clear calls in noisy environments. Smart features include tap controls for voice assistants like Siri and Google Assistant, plus simultaneous interpretation when paired with compatible TCL phones.
