With the announcement of the AirPods 4 ANC, Apple launched a new race for the next open-ear true wireless earbuds that will be able to offer effective levels of active noise cancellation. Since CES 2025, multiple companies have claimed to be next, but now Edifier introduced a new ear-clip design that it says is able to combine the benefits of open-ears for the user to remain aware of the surrounding, with effective ANC. The Edifier LolliClip design seems to be an evolution of the Huawei FreeClip, but with a loose-fit design earbud that sits in the ear concha.
It is clear that Edifier is making a serious effort to achieve the best of both worlds. Maintain an essentially open-ear design that is a hybrid between the ear-ring form factor of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, and achieve the same level of effectiveness for active processing as Apple managed to create with the AirPods 4 ANC in a loose-fit format (the first in the industry, and with exceptional results). The design, Edifier says, combines adaptive ANC processing with directional acoustic technology that minimizes sound leakage, enhancing sound quality. The adaptive processing is able to intelligently adjust the noise reduction based on the fit and surrounding sounds, Edifier adds.


The LolliClip open-ear design leverages an innovative multi-curvature ear-clip, wrapped in skin-friendly silicone that ensures a secure, comfortable fit for daily use. This is already the second product from Edifier to explore the ear-clip form factor, and the company seems to have explored lessons learned. With a symmetrical design and intelligent audio channel detection, the LolliClip earbuds automatically calibrate audio channels, allowing for interchangeable wear on either side — enhancing both convenience and versatility. This allows users to seamlessly switch between the two Bluetooth devices for a more convenient experience.
Edifier also specifies up to 9 hours of playback on a single charge, with a total of 39 hours using the USB-C charging case, while a quick 15-minute charge provides 3 hours of listening time. The Edifier LolliClip earbuds are available for $129.99 on Amazon.com.
