The review

Anker's answer to the clip-on boom, at $39.98 against a $69.99 list price. It is the newest model in this comparison and it shows: Bluetooth 6.0, which nothing else here has, and a memory titanium clip that is meant to keep its shape.

The 12 mm driver is the headline, and the spec table does not have a row for it. Amazon's table gives «Audio Driver Type: Dynamic Driver» and then stops. The only place the size appears is inside a marketing bullet — which is where you find it on half the products on this site, and it is why our table is built from both.

Then there is the sensitivity: 38 dB in the table, against the bullet's claim of 86 dB maximum output. A 38 dB earphone would be roughly as loud as a library. One of those two numbers is wrong and the page does not say which.

IP55 is the reason to pick this over the TOZO for running: that is a rating you can point at, not the word «waterproof» with nothing behind it. Eight hours a charge is fair. Only 2,563 ratings so far, which is the trade-off for buying the newest thing.

The good

  • IP55 — a real rating, where most rivals just say «water resistant»
  • Bluetooth 6.0, the newest connection on this site
  • Memory titanium clip designed to keep its shape
  • 12 mm drivers, larger than the clip-on above it
  • $30 below its own list price
  • 8 hours per charge, the longest single charge of the clip-ons here

The not so good

  • Only 2,563 ratings, the smallest sample in this comparison
  • The 12 mm driver is missing from the spec table entirely
  • Sensitivity given as 38 dB, against 86 dB in the bullets
  • The warranty field says «18», with no unit
  • «28H» is 8 hours in the earbuds plus the case
  • 4.2 out of 5, the lowest of the open-ear models here

Other specs

The driver size is in the bullets and not in the table12 mm, says the third bullet. The table has a row for driver type and no row at all for driver size — the one measurement a buyer comparing clip-ons would look for.
Sensitivity: 38 dbThe bullet claims 86 dB of maximum output. The table's sensitivity field says 38 dB, which would be close to inaudible. They cannot both be describing the same earphone.
Warranty Description: 18Eighteen of something. Anker normally warrants 18 months, so that is the likely reading — but the field does not say months, and we do not publish guesses.
Waterproof, or IP55The table says «Waterproof». The bullet says IP55, which is a jet of water and not immersion. We publish IP55.
«28H Playtime» is 8 hoursEight in the earbuds, twenty more in the case. The table then files the 28 under battery life, and again under the case's battery life.
Frequency Response: 20 KHzThe row above already gives 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz. This one is a single number.

What buyers say

A summary of the reviews published on Amazon.com as of 2026-09-08.

4.2 out of 5 4.2 2,563 ratings

4.2 out of 5 from 2,563 ratings, a listing only months old. The praise is for the clip holding through workouts and for call clarity. The complaints are about thin bass, which is what an open-ear does, and a handful about the case hinge.
