The Cleer ARC Open Ear allow for ambient noise to ensure the wearer’s safety in urban environments. To achieve this, they rely on a headband design that positions the 16-mm dynamic drivers in front of the ear rather than in it. To prevent the sound from bleeding into the environment, beamforming technology directs it straight into the ear canal. This allows the user to perceive their surroundings without disturbing others.
Statement by the Jury
Thanks to a clever headband design, the Cleer ARC Open Ear headphones allow the user to be aware of ambient noise while listening.
