UGREEN has launched the ClipBuds Pro 2, a pair of open-ear wireless earbuds designed for clear calls, immersive audio, and AI-powered productivity.

The earbuds feature a six-microphone system, support for high-resolution wireless audio, and AI-powered translation across more than 130 languages. They also offer up to 46 hours of battery life with the charging case.

Clearer calls in noisy environments

The ClipBuds Pro 2 uses four microphones and two bone-conduction Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) sensors to improve voice pickup during calls. The VPU sensors detect vibrations when the user speaks, helping distinguish their voice from surrounding noise.

Combined with AI-enhanced noise reduction, the system is designed to minimize interference from office chatter, traffic, and wind. UGREEN says the earbuds can maintain clear voice pickup in environments with noise levels reaching 75dB.

Open-ear design with high-resolution audio

Each earbud weighs approximately 6 grams and uses a C-shaped bridge with a 0.5mm memory-titanium core. The flexible design adapts to different ear shapes while distributing pressure for a more comfortable fit.

The open-ear design leaves the ear canal unobstructed, allowing users to hear their surroundings while listening to music or taking calls.

For audio, the ClipBuds Pro 2 features custom 11mm dual-magnet titanium-composite drivers, Hi-Res Wireless certification, and LDAC support. It also offers a bass mode for stronger low frequencies and spatial audio for a wider soundstage.

UGREEN collaborated with four-time Grammy Award winner Terri Lyne Carrington to tune the earbuds’ sound profile, aiming for a balanced presentation of vocals, instruments, and rhythm.

Directional acoustics also help reduce sound leakage, making the earbuds more suitable for shared spaces such as offices and cafes.

AI translation and meeting features

Beyond audio playback and calls, the ClipBuds Pro 2 includes AI-powered productivity features. These include simultaneous translation and face-to-face translation across more than 130 languages, as well as live recording, transcription, and AI-generated meeting summaries.

The earbuds use speech recognition and AI models, including GPT and Gemini, to support these functions.

Dual-device connectivity also lets users switch between a laptop and smartphone without repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting their earbuds.

Price and availability

The UGREEN ClipBuds Pro 2 has a suggested retail price of US$99.99. In the Philippines, the earbuds are listed on the UGREEN Official Shop on Shopee for PHP 4,499.

The company has yet to announce official Philippine availability details.

The Anker soundcore AeroClip 2 is now available in the Philippines. These open-ear clip-on earbuds combine lightweight comfort, AI-powered call technology, and an IP57 rating for everyday listening, workouts, and commutes.

Unlike conventional earbuds that sit inside the ear canal, the AeroClip 2 clips onto the outer ear. This design allows users to listen to music and take calls while remaining aware of their surroundings.

Lightweight design for all-day comfort

The soundcore AeroClip 2 weighs just 6.2 grams per earbud. Its open-ear clip-on design is engineered to stay securely in place during daily activities, including commuting, walking, and exercising.

Anker developed the earbuds using a database of more than 2,000 ear profiles and tested them on over 1,000 users. The earbuds have also undergone more than 10,000 flex tests to assess their durability.

Immersive audio with customizable sound

The AeroClip 2 features 12mm dual-magnetic drivers, Hi-Res Audio certification, and LDAC support for compatible Android devices. Users can also personalize their listening experience through soundcore’s HearID 5.0 technology.

Its open-ear design allows users to enjoy music and podcasts without completely blocking out ambient sounds. This makes the earbuds suitable for everyday listening and outdoor activities where environmental awareness remains important.

AI-powered call clarity

For users who frequently take calls while commuting or working outside the office, the AeroClip 2 features soundcore’s THUS AI chip and 6-Sensor Call Technology.

These technologies are designed to isolate the user’s voice and reduce distracting background noise during calls.

The earbuds have also received a Guinness World Records certification as the “World’s Clearest Open-Ear Clip-On Earbuds for Calls.”

Nap Mode for quick breaks

The AeroClip 2 includes a Nap Mode that lets users listen to offline white noise through the earbuds.

Price and availability in the Philippines

The Anker soundcore AeroClip 2 is now available in the Philippines for PHP 9,995. It comes in four colors: Burgundy Red, Midnight Black, Cloud White, and Mist Blue.

Customers can purchase the earbuds through Anker’s official stores on the following platforms:

• Shopee: Anker Official Store | Anker Authorized Store PH
• Lazada: Anker Official Store | Anker Authorized Store PH
• TikTok Shop: Anker Official Store | Anker Authorized Store PH | Anker soundcore

The AeroClip 2 is also available through authorized Anker stores and retail partners nationwide.

Garmin has unveiled the Approach S72, its new flagship golf smartwatch.

It comes in 43mm and 47mm sizes, and both have bright AMOLED displays. The watch also gets a titanium bezel, a sapphire lens, and a new lightweight ComfortFit fabric band.

Swing and heart rate data on the course

The Approach S72 adds on-wrist swing metrics, including hand speed, backswing length, and wrist rotation. Garmin says the idea is to help you change your swing based on real data instead of feel alone.

Real-time heart rate is part of the picture too. You can see how your heart rate changes before and after each shot, and once the round is over, you can look back at trends in how it may have affected your score.

The Approach S72 also covers everyday health tracking with its wrist-based heart rate and stress tracking, plus Body Battery energy monitoring and advanced sleep monitoring. It also comes with preloaded activity profiles for strength and mobility work.

Reading greens and reviewing rounds

A new green reading feature uses green contour data to show which direction a putt will break, along with the average slope percentage, which should make picking an aim point quicker.

This requires an active Garmin Golf Membership. After a round, the Garmin Golf app can show putting analytics like speed bias, direction bias, and make rate.

Aerial imagery of each hole is also included, so you can see real photos when deciding where to lay up or where the safest miss is.

Driving range sessions can be logged to the Garmin Connect app as well. You’ll get swing metrics and tendencies there, and the practice time counts toward your fitness goals.

Built to wear all day

The titanium bezel is light enough that Garmin says it won’t get in the way of a swing.

The Approach S72 also has a speaker and microphone, so you can make and take calls and use voice commands on or off the course. Garmin calls it the first of its golf smartwatches to offer this.

A built-in flashlight has variable white light intensities and a red light, which comes in handy for finding gear in your bag or lighting up a dark spot.

On battery life, Garmin says the larger model lasts up to 20 hours with GPS on the course and up to 16 days with GPS off.

Price, availability

The Garmin Approach S72 will be available starting October 22 for PhP 52,990. You can buy it at garmin.com, Garmin Brand Stores, Garmin Specialty Stores, and Garmin’s official e-commerce platforms.
