They are really, really good!
on January 23, 2026
Posted by: mejpye_4834
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these open ear headphones from Cleer!! The ARC 4 headphones are easy and comfortable to wear and produce amazing sound quality. I love that the speaker sits outside of my ear--I have never been a fan of earbuds. They wrap over the ears but are so light they are hardly noticeable. They stay securely in place--even when I am exercising. The sound is strong, clear, and rich. I was honestly surprised that music has such depth with these little headphones. I asked people on the other end of calls and everyone reported that the microphone was relaying clear, true sound and it was easy to hear me. You can use an app to control the headphones or you can simply operate them manually. These are very high-quality headphones that are great for many situations. I definitely recommend.

The Ultimate Hack for Multitasking Parents
on January 21, 2026
Posted by: cinnamongirl87_1820
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Cleer ARC 4 Open-Ear Earbuds complimentary for testing purposes, and they have completely changed my daily routine. As a busy parent, I’ve always struggled with traditional noise-canceling buds because I hate feeling "plugged in" and disconnected from my surroundings.
These are incredibly lightweight (only about 10.8g!) and sit comfortably over the ear rather than inside the canal. I can wear them for hours without any "ear fatigue," which is a huge win for long workdays.
Don’t let the open-ear design fool you—the sound is elite. Being THX Certified with Dolby Audio, the clarity is crisp and the bass is surprisingly punchy thanks to the 16.2mm drivers. It feels like having a private soundstage while still being able to hear the world around me.
My favorite feature is the situational awareness. I can listen to my favorite podcasts or take work calls via the Bluetooth 5.4 Multipoint pairing, all while putting my daughter to bed. I feel 100% present and can hear if she needs me, which provides such peace of mind.
With a 32-hour battery life and IPX7 sweat resistance, these are built for real life. If you’re a parent, a remote worker, or just someone who hates the pressure of in-ear buds, the ARC 4 is a must-have!

Crisp sounding earphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cleer Arc 4 open ear headphones are an innovative way to listen to music. They rest over your ears giving you better awareness of your surroundings vs in the ear pods. They are lightweight and very comfortable. Surprisingly no one can hear your music unless they are very close to your ear. The sound quality is still amazing and crisp.

Love These! Superb Quality Sound, Many Features!
on January 18, 2026
Posted by: raych2117_9708
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Cleer ARC 4- Black Open Ear Headphones in exchange for my honest review. These over ear headphones were so superb, I already want to order another pair so my boyfriend can have a pair, because he loves them too! These headphones have crisp, clear sound with all genres, as an option to be able to change! The 5.4 Bluetooth tech was so great and the bandwidth is surprisingly far with the superb sound even at a distance! I downloaded the app and I can change the sound of music, access settings, and pair the device. Once paired, when I reuse- after putting headphones away, there was no need to repair again to my device. they are lightweight, fit perfectly, natural but power pack sound! I'm impressed with the noise cancelling feature! I love the sleek, easy to carry case, charges with universal USB cable that's included! Initial pairing was seamless and easy, for Once!

Great for being active with!
on January 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cleer Arc 4 open ear headphones are okay. Honestly, I would say they are great half the time and the other half, not so great. Sometimes, the sound that comes from these headphones is odd. It does not always match the original sound of what you’re listening to and I cannot figure out why or what I’m doing wrong. For the times that it does match up to the original sound, it sounds fantastic! Very clear and smooth audio. When it’s not working right, it sounds tunnely and somewhat echoey. Overall though these are very comfortable. I do see these being good for movement like they say, they are very soft, stay nicely around your ear and don’t fall off or out. They are extremely different than in ear headphones and I feel they are going to take some time to get used to not having something in your ear. I think the price is decent, very comparable to other brands of headphones. I also love the sleek charging case which makes it easy to keep them safe when not in use. I would totally recommend these if you are a runner or someone who is very active, I think you should check them out. I received these free for review, all thoughts and opinions are my own!

Compact and great
on January 12, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cleer ARC 4 open-ear earbuds have completely changed how I feel about earbuds. After years of dealing with uncomfortable in-ear designs, these have become my clear favorite. They’re exceptionally comfortable, lightweight, and stay securely in place, with an improved behind-the-ear design that makes them easy to forget you’re even wearing them. The compact charging case is another standout—small enough to carry effortlessly without bulk.
For an open-ear design, the sound quality is surprisingly impressive. With THX certification, head-tracking Spatial Audio, and DBE 4.0 Dynamic Bass Enhancement, audio feels clear, immersive, and well-balanced, especially for music, podcasts, and calls. Call quality is excellent, and Adaptive Volume Control automatically adjusts in noisy environments to keep voices clear and easy to hear.
The Cleer app adds even more value, offering customization options, firmware updates, and easy access to settings.
With strong battery life, thoughtful design, and a comfortable open-ear fit, the Cleer ARC 4 Plus delivers premium features at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable, secure, and awareness-friendly alternative to traditional earbuds.
