Cleer Audio has unveiled its ARC3 True Wireless Open-Ear Earbuds, introducing a blend of premium sound, innovative design, and smart functionality. Built with a flexible ear-hook hinge, the ARC3 is designed for comfort and stability, making it ideal for active users who want to remain aware of their surroundings while listening.

The earbuds are powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon Sound S5 Gen 2 platform, supporting Dolby Atmos with head tracking for immersive audio. They also feature compatibility with advanced codecs including aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, AAC, and SBC, ensuring high-quality playback across devices. Cleer’s proprietary Dynamic Bass Enhancement (DBE) 3.0 further strengthens the low end, delivering surprisingly deep bass for an open-ear design.

One of the standout features is the smart charging case, which includes a built-in LCD touchscreen for controls, a mirror inside the lid, and UV-C sterilization to sanitize the earbuds when not in use. The ARC3 promises impressive endurance, with up to 50 hours of total battery life—10 hours from the earbuds plus 40 hours from the case. A five-minute quick charge delivers 1.5 hours of playtime, catering well to users on the go.

Connectivity and intelligence are also central to the ARC3. With Bluetooth 5.4 and multipoint pairing, users can switch seamlessly between two devices. Features like voice control and auto-volume adjustment, which adapts sound levels to surrounding noise, enhance day-to-day usability. The earbuds are also IPX7-rated, making them sweat and water resistant, and include an anti-loss alert that triggers a beep if dropped.

For personalization, the Cleer+ companion app supports EQ adjustments, firmware updates, and touch-control customization, with future updates planned to add Bluetooth LE Audio support.
