TCL CrystalClip Open-Ear Clip-On Headphones Debut at MWC 2026 with 3D Spatial Audio and 36-Hour Battery Life
TCL has unveiled its new CrystalClip open-ear clip-on headphones at MWC 2026, targeting users who want high-quality sound without losing awareness of their surroundings. Using air-conduction instead of bone conduction, CrystalClip promises a more balanced sound while keeping ears open for ambient noise. Each earbud weighs just 5.5 g, features a titanium memory-frame clip with 43 g clamping force, and carries an IPX4 rating for daily use, workouts, and commuting.
Sound is delivered via a dual-magnet dynamic driver with 3D Spatial Audio, while dual microphones with noise reduction improve call clarity. CrystalClip supports Bluetooth 5.4, dual-device switching, AI-powered features like real-time translation (with compatible TCL apps), and voice assistants including Siri, Google Gemini, and Google Assistant. Battery life reaches up to 36 hours with fast charging. Pricing starts at €79, with a Swarovski crystal edition at €149, launching from March in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.
