OnePlus Unveils Buds Clip, Its First Clip‑On Earbuds

The compact C‑bridge design combines Dynaudio‑tuned dual drivers with an on‑device AI audio chip to emphasize sound quality and voice features.

Overview

  • OnePlus listed the Buds Clip on its global site as the company’s first clip‑on earbuds and published detailed specs without giving price or full regional availability.
  • The buds use dual drivers—11mm woofers and 9mm tweeters—plus dual DACs tuned by Dynaudio to prioritize higher‑fidelity sound.
  • Wireless features include Bluetooth 6.1, support for LHDC 5.0 along with AAC and SBC, and the ability to connect to two devices at once.
  • On the capture side the Clip packs six bone‑conduction microphones and a dedicated AI audio chip that runs an on‑device translator and other local voice features.
  • OnePlus positions the Clip as a practical, all‑day accessory with claims of up to 40 hours of battery life, 5.2 g earbuds, an adaptive Ni‑Ti C‑bridge for comfort, IP55 protection, and a Dipole Sound‑Field system that beams reverse waves through rear vents to cut sound leakage; the company’s slimmer phone presence in some markets makes accessories a clearer focus for its brand.
