Amazing quality
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: EditaP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t like in ear headphones, so I was very excited to try these. I love these headphones and the great quality of sound and the product. These headphones let me enjoy whatever I am listening to, but also keep me aware of my surroundings (that is super important for me when walking the dogs - I want to hear cars and people approaching). I love the case they come in - so beautiful and sleek to comfortably carry in my pocket or handbag. The battery has good lasting power and they charge quickly. The sound is clear and the controls are easy. It was a breeze to connect these headphones to my phone.

Stylish, comfortable, smart features, & impressive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cleer ARC 5 Open-Ear Headphones are a sleek, modern take on wireless earbuds designed for people who want great audio without blocking out the world around them. The distinctive open-ear design and flexible ear-hook style that sits comfortably on your ears instead of inside them makes them ideal for long listening sessions, workouts, or staying aware of your surroundings while on the go.
One of the standout features is the comfort and fit. The ARC 5 uses lightweight, flexible ear hooks made from soft, skin-friendly silicone that keep the earbuds secure without putting pressure in your ear canal. This makes them perfect for all-day wear, especially if traditional in-ear buds tend to cause fatigue like they do for me. The white finish gives them a clean, minimalist look that pairs well with any device. The ARC 5 delivers clear, balanced audio with strong vocal clarity and solid mids. Because they use an open-ear design that directs sound toward your ears rather than sealing them, the listening experience feels natural and spacious. While you won’t get the same deep bass isolation as traditional in-ear earbuds, the audio is still dynamic and enjoyable for music, podcasts, and calls. Open-ear headphones also allow you to hear your environment, which is especially useful for outdoor workouts, gardening, or commuting. The ARC 5 includes spatial audio technologies like Dolby Atmos and THX spatial sound support, along with Bluetooth connectivity and AI-powered voice controls. The microphone works well for phone calls, too. I didn’t have any issues with people hearing me on calls.
The charging case adds a unique twist with a touchscreen display, allowing you to manage music, calls, and settings directly from the case. The touch screen can be a bit finicky at times and it would be nice if there were more background options for the display. Battery life is impressive with up to 60 hours of total playtime with the charging case and quick-charge capability when you need power ASAP. The earbuds are IPX7 water-resistant, so they can handle sweat, rain, and intense workouts without worry! A major standout feature is the built-in UV-C sterilization system in the case that automatically sanitizes the earbuds when the lid is closed. This is a great addition to maintain hygiene due to the open-ear design.
These headphones strike a wonderful balance between comfort, innovation, and situational awareness. They’re an excellent choice for anyone who wants immersive audio without fully isolating themselves from their surroundings. The stylish design, smart case display, and long battery life make them feel like a premium, forward-thinking pair of wireless headphones that won’t fall out even during high intensity activity. These are stylish, comfortable, and packed with smart features and impressive battery life — perfect for active lifestyles and everyday listening.

Fantastic headphones!
on March 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all the options of these open ear headphones. The Smart Case touchscreen is great for changing settings. You can listen in Dolby or THX Spatial Audio. I’m not a tech savvy so I’m not familiar with all the specs of these, but I love the head tracking option and the sound from these. It has UV-C light sterilization which is cool. They are comfortable to wear and stay put which has been an issue with using other earbuds that fall out with too much activity. I would recommend these !

So many wonderful features
on March 10, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds are AMAZING! I have wanted a nice set for quite some time and these are so much more than I expected. These over ear buds, come in a sleek compact that includes a mirror! I have been having such a great time exploring all the options. The most important thing to me is the ability to stay aware of my surroundings when I am out walking. I can hear everything around me perfectly clear while wearing, this gives me a sense of safety. The THX Spatial Audio sound is absolutely incredible! The sound can be adjusted to different types depending on the type of audio your listening to. These can be set up to respond to head movements, a simple nod to answer a call, a turn of the head to play the next track and so many more controls all with different movements. The first time I placed the buds back in the case I was super surprised to find out the case sanitizes the earbuds when put away. These are everything I needed and wanted and then some and the work just fine with my eyeglasses. The perfect accessory for a trail walk or a workout at the fitness center. My favorite place to wear them is at the pottery studio so I can be entertained while creating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this headphone. I love how easy it is to set up and how they rap around my ear. I also love fact that it has a mirror so you can look when putting them on. These came fully charged which was also nice. These headphones will be used when am home on my tablet or as a workout / travel headphones. Overall I highly reccomend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound quality is really nice. The audio feels clear to listen to. I like the open ear design, because it still lets me hear what's happening around me. It feels light on the ears and comfortable. It is easy to use and carry everywhere because it is portable.

Comfortable through a variety of workouts
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: MindyS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never tried open earbuds before and these are incredible. I lift weights, perform cardio, workout in 130° sauna, and walk in my neighborhood, and these have been perfect for every single situation. They don’t fall off my ears and down dog, they don’t fly off when I’m walking, they don’t move around when I’m lifting weights, they’re all around perfect.
The case is absolutely amazing. It is heavyweight and there’s a mirror inside. The menu on the case is very easy to navigate and I love being able to change the settings on the case versus having to get my phone.
The design of the earbuds are so well weighted and comfortable, that I don’t know if I can go back to earbuds that go inside of my ear.
The sound is also amazing. I am able to hear clearly in both ears, and it is mixed well. I can also listen to audiobooks and hear everything very clearly. The sound is definitely superior to some of my other earbuds.
