Best headphones I’ve ever had!
on March 25, 2026
Posted by: BrookeS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t say enough about the headphones! I love that they don’t go in your ears. That they sit in the outside. They have a premium sound and has meet sounded muffled or scratchy. Battery life has lasted since first charge 1-2 weeks ago and have used everyday! They are lightweight and stay put! They also have a lot of extra features on the case and headphones themselves. The phone/speaking feature is very clear and have had no issues with calls. There’s a remote for your camera on case and head
Movement prompts too. Also a touch to pause and pairing on each headphone. These are the best headphones I have ever had!

Superior and immersive audio experience
on March 19, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ARC 5 Open Ear Headphones are awesome! They are a game changer in the world of audio and I’m so comfortable using them. I normally don’t use earphones as they give me earache but ‘over the ear’ earphones are so good. The high quality immersive audio, ultra hi tech controls, noise cancellation and surround sound…making listening to music or audio an experience like no other. The battery life is so good…it gives an unbeatable coverage of 60 hours. Modern, sleek and compact…ARC 5 truly gives an unforgettable experience!

Highest in the room!
on March 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This right here, is a product that is at a sweet spot of portability, premium sound output and fatigueless comfort. The touch sensitive controls are intuitive and lets you take calls and switch music on the go very effectively. The voice captured by the microphone is great and crystal clear. Tried it in crowded areas and the person on the other side could hear me very well. Considering they are open ear headphones, the noise cancellation is good here too, if not the best. These come with built-in UV-sterilization which is a feature that no other option in the market offers. The magnets on the case are strong and hold the earphones well protected inside the case.

So cool
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: LisaG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These open ear headphones are so cool. You can hear everything around you so clearly. And still hear your audio. So i feel safe wearing both when I am walking around. They are so light and comfortable, i honestly forget I'm wearing them. There are no pinch or pressure points. The head motion features to answer/decline and change songs are really cool too. The case has a touch screen. You can adjust the sound and see how much charge each bud and the case itself has left, which lasts really long. The only downside is when I walk between buildings downtown on a windy day it's hard to hear my music.

Good sound, pointless additiinal tech
on March 17, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are Cleer's Arc 5 open ear headphones. These basically hook on your ear and balance with weight on the back bit. I prefer this style for exercising, just for hearing my surroundings when running and general cleanliness from sweating. It might take a little getting used to this style, and it depends on the type of exercising you do how well they stay on. For me standard running and walking they work great and stay in place. These have a IPX7 waterproof rating. For sound quality they seem pretty good overall for me out of the box. They easily connected to my phone to use, no app needed to use them and their base features. Which is a win for me, I really prefer not to have to have an app just to use my headphones. They do also have multi device connection so if you want them connected to your phone and something else that should work without much issue. You will need the app for more fine tuning controls, equalization and updating the firmware on the case. That it where these headphones get a little weird for me. The case has a smart screen on it so that you can control various settings from that screen instead of opening the app on your phone. But you still need the app on your phone and connected to the case to access a lot of features. The app seems fairly bare bones and glitchy. The headphones also have a
lot of the standard tap and press features to change songs, pause, answer calls ect. I guess maybe depending on how you are carrying things while using the headphones the screen on the case gives you better access to adjust settings than opening your phone. But overall I don't see massive benefits of the screen. It just seems like a bit of over engineered tech that wasn't really needed. It will probably come down to personal use cases. There are a lot of different features with these, like find my headphone, having one or the other on and that being visible which is on. You can also turn them off when not in the case to save the battery in the headphones themselves. The case also holds a separate charge, to power the screen and recharge the headphones when they are put back in. The headphones magnetically attach in the case and the case has a magnetic closure. There is a mirror inside the top lid of the case. The case also does UVC sterilization every time you open and close it and it shows that on the screen what percentage it is at, it does it very quickly. Battery life seems decent, I used them for a few hours a day over the course of a week and the screens where still saying they only hit half battery. So good for traveling, and they use a standard usb-c, which it does come with, so charging them should not be an issue at all. The only thing I don't like and have minor concerns over is the vague "AI" enhanced microphone for calling. The information on how that is processed and potentially data collection is vague to non existent. So to me that is a potential privacy concern there. Overall the headphones themselves are good. But everything around them, the case and app seem over engineered and almost designed to limit the life on them based on how long they update the software for it. I'd recommend never connecting the app to maybe avoid those issues.
