Super comfortable, features exactly as described.
I’ve waited to review until I’d had and used these a good bit to be able to give my honest review and after a month of use I can say that I love these and would absolutely recommend them and buy them again.

I have never found a pair of ear buds that don’t cause me extreme pain in my ears, neck, shoulders, and head. I’ve tried all manner of ear buds, from super cheap to really expensive, and these are the first set of ear buds that I can wear all day without any pain whatsoever. It took a little getting used to the way that they fit because they did sort of feel like they were on the verge of falling out when I first got them, but this is just due to a different design than I’ve ever experienced and they’re actually quite secure and not going anywhere. I do find myself forgetting that I have them on and will walk around with nothing playing, wearing them for hours sometimes. Even as a glasses wearer, I don’t find myself having any problems with comfort or secure fit.

The sound quality is honestly the best I’ve experienced in all ofthe ear buds I’ve tried. I’m super impressed with the bass they’re able to achieve, and it is sort of a “sound is in your head” kind of experience. I’ve used them for listening to music, watching YouTube, watching TV shows and movies, and have never felt that I needed to adjust the EQ. They really just sound great for all uses, in my opinion.

I love the way that you put them into pairing mode – I did have to look up a YouTube video on how to do it because I struggled to understand the instructions provided, but it’s actually really easy and reliable, and one of the easier pairing experiences I’ve had. I have a few pairs of headphones/ear buds that are a major pain to pair and fall out of being paired randomly, and I’ve had none of those issues with these.

I haven’t had any issues with the touch controls not working right, though I don’t use these for running and it seems the majority of reviewers having issues with the touch controls are runners who experience sweat, so that could be why I’ve had no issues. I’m a stay at home mom who works part time from home and home schools my kid, so my typical use of these is while sitting at a computer working, or while walking around my home doing school or chores.

They’re not super noise canceling and they don’t have the longest battery life but that is exactly as advertised. Being open ear fit they couldn’t possibly be noise canceling (though they do actually drown out most sound pretty well if the volume is up high), which is actually what I need in ear buds as a stay at home mom who needs to be able to hear my kid at all times. I don’t want to give these a low review on noise cancellation or battery life because they’re clearly advertised as not being noise canceling, and also clearly advertised that the ear buds themselves only have a 7 hour battery life and the case has a 28 hour battery life, so it would seem unfair to lower their rating over something that you’re advertised before even buying. Maybe in future models they’ll be able to increase the battery life, but until then it is totally fine with me as someone who is home pretty much at all times and able to recharge without issue.

I am super happy with these, and so pleased to have finally found ear buds I can wear without pain. After years of searching, I finally found a pair that works for me and actually sounds great, too.

Clear/Bright Audio with Good Bass – AptX Adaptive/LC3 LE Audio Work Great – Excessive Case Features
My ear canal is more egg shaped than circular and I have always had an issue with in-ear earbuds falling out despite design (wings, ear hooks, etc). For me it’s either ear-clip or open-ear.I purchased the JLab Flex from Best Buy and the new Shokz OpenFit 2’s from Amazon. The OpenFit 2’s were wonderful and can be worn 24/7 as they feel weightless. However, they are almost $200 and don’t have AptX Adaptive or LE Audio (LC3 Codec). For 2025 that’s unacceptable especially at $200.I actually kept the JLab Flex ear-clip earbuds. They were only $40 and don’t sound anywhere near as good as as the Cleer Arc III’s, but because they are so cheap and comfortable they are good traveling and taking places where you won’t feel awful if you lose them or they get stolen.The Cleer Arc III’s provide and almost “in-ear” like experience while still being open-ear. They are bright and have excellent bass. I found the “Pop” EQ to be excellent for my preference. I have been using my Sennheiser BTD 600 adapter on my PC to use AptX Adaptive for gaming. Latency is great.Seems like a 5/5 star product, but I knocked off a star for these reasons. I hope that someone from Cleer Audio reads this and takes this feedback into consideration for the Cleer Arc IV:1. I have normal sized ears. I noticed after a couple hours of wearing that there is a soreness to the antihelical fold of my ears. Even is I use the extension the Arc III’s still touch it and it causes fatigue. If the next Arc’s could be a few millimeters shorter and be away from the antihelical fold that would solve this.2. The case is so feature rich it’s almost to a fault. Some people might like it, but I feel like it’s pointless and that some of the cost of the excessive case features was passed to me as the consumer. Every top-brand earbud company uses an app because it works great. Make a nice case and if you want to have the UV sterilizers that’s great, but put all that money from the case into other things such as improving the quality of the Cleer app that appears to have very negative reviews.

I had a minor issue with my order, but the customer service team handled it exceptionally well. They were quick to respond, professional, and offered a fair resolution with a partial refund. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and stand behind their products. I’m very satisfied with how everything was handled and wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again. Highly recommend for both product quality and excellent service!
