Edifier Unveils Its New LolliClip Open-Style Wireless Earbuds For Sporty Types
Award-winning audio brand Edifier has joined the stampede towards open-style earbuds increasingly requested by sporty types or anyone else who needs to be aware of their surroundings while listening to their favorite music.
The new Edifier LolliClip earbuds include adaptive noise cancellation, a secure multi-curve ear hook and immersive spatial audio which can track the user's head movements. The earbuds are also certified for Hi-Res wireless audio and promise a big sound thanks to their large 13mm dynamic drivers featuring a titanium-coated diaphragm.
Equipped with three microphones each side, the Edifier LolliClip earbuds have an AI algorithm for making phone calls clearer. The earbuds have an IP56 rating for resisting dust and water. There is also Multipoint connectivity that offers seamless switching between two Bluetooth host devices.
Each LolliClip earpiece attach to the ear rim with the speaker directed towards the ear canal but ... More without blocking it. The open style leaves the listener aware of what is going on around them.
Users can select advanced ANC levels based on the physical fit of the earbuds and the surrounding conditions. The result, says Edifier, is a clear and immersive listening experience even when in noisy environments, all the while maintaining the comfort of an open-ear design.
An innovative multi-curve ear hook is wrapped in skin-friendly silicone and provides a fit that is both secure and comfortable, making the earbuds suitable for daily use when working out, hiking or enjoying music while working.
Directional acoustics technology used in the Edifier LolliClips reduces any sound leakage even though the earbuds have an open-ear design. The 13mm dynamic drivers are large enough to deliver a sound that's powerful enough for an open design.
Other features on the LolliClip earbuds include support for the Hi-Res LDAC audio codec with a wireless sampling rate up to 96kHz, that's three times the data transmission rate of standard Bluetooth codecs. Hi-Res Wireless certification provides clear and lossless audio and the earbuds feature 360-degree Spatial Audio with real-time head-tracking powered by sensors in each earpiece for an immersive and dynamic sound that can adapts and move with listener.
The Edifier LolliClip earbuds can provide up to 39 hours of playing time with the charge in the ... More earbuds and their storage case.
Audio Channel Detection And Multipoint Connection
With a symmetrical design and intelligent audio channel detection, the LolliClip earbuds are automatically calibrated enabling interchangeable wear on either side so you don't need to check which is the left and right earpiece. Multipoint connectivity lets the LolliClip earbuds pair with two different Bluetooth devices at the same time and then the suer can switch seamlessly between them and have music playing on one device while being able to take phone calls on the other.
Speaking of phone calls, Edifier says the LolliClips have three high-sensitivity microphones in each earpiece backed by an AI algorithm for producing clearer hands-free calls. And if the phone call goes on a bit, the LolliClips can provide up to nine hours of playing time from a single charge. With the power held in the storage case, there is a total of 39 hours playing time. A quick 15-minute charge provides 3 hours of listening time.
These new LolliClip earbuds are compatible with Edifier's latest vesion of its ConneX smartphone app which can unlock additional functions such as heart rate and blood oxygen detection, a drainage function, personalized control settings and much more.

This affordable hi-res DAC and headphone amp will make everyone think you spent thousands on it, and I love its cool VU meter screen
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Topping DX5 II has a double-DAC design with three-stage amplification Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC and aptX Adaptive/HD $299 / £299 – available now in the US, during July 2025 in the UK Topping's new desktop DAC is surprisingly affordable for its specification: the list price is just $299 / £299. It's a hi-res DAC, preamplifier and headphone amplifier that's designed for dual duties as either a stand-alone desktop amp or as part of a component hi-fi system. The DX5 II is the successor to Topping's highly acclaimed DX5, and it's built around two ES9039Q2M DAC chips from ESS Technology's 32-bit Sabre range. One chip is dedicated to the left channel and the other to the right; because the ES9039Q2M is a two-channel DAC chip, that means there can be two differential signals per channel, which Topping says means a lower noise floor, improved channel separation and better clarity. Topping DX5 II: key features The DX5 II supports PCM data to 32-bit/768kHz over USB (24-bit/192kHz via the coaxial and optical inputs) and DSD to 22.5792MHz (DSD512). It also supports DoP (DSD over PCM). There's a new 32-bit, 16-core XMOS chip for USB data and a high-performance driver for Windows; other platforms don't require a driver. And there's Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC and aptX Adaptive up to 24-bit/96kHz and aptX HD at up to 24-bit/48kHz. The Bluetooth module also supports Low Latency, plain aptX, AAC and SBC. There are three hi-res digital inputs – USB, coaxial and optical – a 12V trigger in/out and three headphone outs: balanced XLR, balanced 4.4mm and single-ended 6.35mm. And the headphones are powered by Topping's new X-Hybrid headphone amp, which is a fully balanced four-channel design that's based on Nested Feedback Composite Architecture (NFCA) with a three-stage design: input, op-amp gain stage and output. Topping says it's powerful enough to drive even difficult planar magnetic headphones, with power output of 2x 7,600mW into 16 ohms, 2x 6,400mW into 32 ohms and 2x 990mW into 300 ohms through its balanced outputs. The DX5 II DAC/headphone amp will be available in the UK this July in a choice of black, white or silver, and is already available online in the US.

Nothing Headphone (1) vs Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
The Nothing Headphone (1) is an interesting pair of headphones that are built well and feature some top-notch specs. Unfortunately, they fall down in a couple of key aspects which keep them from scoring top marks — but how do they fare against Bose's flagship? Bose's ANC cans have long been at the top of the list when it comes to noise-canceling headphones. They have a slick style, a comfortable fit, and decent sound, but how do they match up against the newest headphones on the block? The Nothing Headphone (1) are the upstart in the headphone world. They want to upset the balance between the established competition, like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and the Sony WH-1000XM5, and undercut them both on price. That means loads of features, a cool-looking design, and some impressive battery life. But, for the money, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are still the best noise-canceling headphones that you can buy today. They feature mind-blowing ANC, impressive sound, and a very comfortable fit to go with their decent feature set. They might be more expensive, but Nothing's going to have to do a lot to make a better set of cans. Nothing Headphone (1) Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Price $299/£299/AU$549 $429 / £449 / AU$645 Colors Black; Silver Lunar Blue; Deep Plum; White Smoke; Black Size Not specified Not specified Weight 11 ounces 8.8 ounces Battery life (rated) Up to 80 hours Up to 24 hours Connectivity Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC, AAC and LDAC support Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC, AAC and LDAC, aptX HD support support Special features Adaptive ANC, Ambient Sound Mode, Bluetooth multipoint, customizable sound, quick charge, passive mode, Spatial Audio ANC, Immersive Audio, Bluetooth multipoint, customizable EQ, quick charge The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are one of the more expensive flagship offerings that you can currently pick up. They cost $449, a whole $150 more than the new Nothing Headphone (1). That's also more than the Sony WH-1000XM5, and the same as the also new WH-1000XM6. The Bose worth the higher price, sure, but we have to give credit where credit's due: Nothing Headphone (1) just cost less. They're $299, making them one of the cheaper options when compared to the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones have been out long enough now that we see discounts, so you might not have to pay full price. Even then, their lowest price still doesn't match the MSRP of the Nothing Headphone (1). That's first blood for the Nothing Headphone (1). The Nothing Headphone (1) bring something new to the table. While the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones have a nice, if standard, look, the Headphone (1) look unlike just about anything else out there. They've got Nothing's signature design style, and I think that's pretty cool — just like the Nothing ear and the Nothing phones, they have transparent panels that hide some retro future design touches. These Nothing's design isn't for everyone and the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones look more traditional. That's no bad thing, however. They're quite stylish thanks to the use of multiple finishes, along with their subtle branding. The Nothing Headphone (1) is built slightly better though thanks to some improved materials. There's metal in the earcups, and there's more substantial heft to them But the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are more comfortable. Their cushioning is more plush, and you won't suffer from the slight squeezing effect that you'll find in the Headphone (1). Despite a better build and more interesting design, I'm going to give this to the less divisive and far more comfortable Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. Physical controls are my preferred way of controlling headphones, and the Nothing Headphone (1) deliver just what I'm looking for. They've got very intuitive controls, including a volume roller, a paddle for skipping tracks, a power switch, and a customizable button. Each one is easy to find without looking, and feel wonderful under the finger. I think they might be some of my favorite controls on a pair of headphones ever, bringing innovation to the table with their tactile clickers. The Nothing app is also good, letting you control ANC level, change the EQ, and adjust other settings on the fly. It's good that the EQ is so good given that the sound needs adjustment out of the box, but we'll get to that later. The controls on the Bose QuietComfort are more annoying. There's a multi-control button that controls the ANC, playback, and other features, alongside a touch stripe for volume. The touch stripe is annoying to use and fairly inaccurate, while the button pulling triple duty has to do too much. The Bose app pulls everything back, however. It's easy to use and very well laid out, letting you easily access the 3-band EQ, noise-canceling settings, and more. Overall, though, the control section has to go to the Nothing Headphone (1). Despite the influence of KEF on the sound of the Nothing Headphone (1), they don't sound as good as I'd hoped. They're much too dark, with an overreliance on upper-bass and lower-mids that take over the soundscape. This tuning leaves music feeling like it's being played in the next room, blocked by a wall. You can dial in the sound quality with the Nothing X app, but I'd have preferred the core sound be good enough out of the box. Not many users are going to dive into a complicated looking EQ adjuster when they realize their brand-new headphones don't sound very good. The Bose, on the other hand, sound good out of the box. It's a fairly bassy sound signature, with bass that can take some of the edge off the detail, but it's otherwise spacious and pleasant to listen to. It can be adjusted with a slightly weaker EQ, but the core sound is good enough that it's not entirely necessary. Headphones should sound good out of the box, so this round is going to go to the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. The Nothing Headphone (1) bring a great feature set to the table, including the EQ, USB-C mode, and spatial audio. The former two features work very well, and the USB-C mode is something I wish I saw on more headphones coming out in 2025. Unfortunately, however, the spatial audio feature doesn't work very well. It serves only to thin out the music and make it sound less dynamic, as it stretches out what's there to make it sound much bigger. I'm generally not a fan of spatial audio modes, and this one is the perfect example as to why. The Bose have similar features, although they lack the USB-C mode. Immersive Sound (Bose's version of spatial audio) is much better, however, and it's the reason that they're going to win this round. The two headphones are fairly well matched for features, although the Bose just manage to eke out the victory. You can expect solid feature sets from both, however. This is going to be a blowout for the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. They're the best noise-canceling headphones for a reason, with some of the best ANC that I've ever experienced out of a pair of headphones. They block out even the loudest and most disturbing noises, whether you're on the go or stuck inside the office. Fans are silenced, busy cafes subdued and bus journeys made a whole lot more tolerable. They're my choice if I want to block out everything happening in the world, and they've never let me down. That's not to say that the Nothing Headphone (1)'s noise canceling is bad, but it's not as good as Bose's. It does a fine job of keeping out the noise, but it does struggle a bit with the wind. Transparency mode is good for both pairs, and you'll have no problem hearing the bus driver when you go to buy your ticket. Thanks to their impressive ANC overall, though, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones take the win at the end. I don't need to say much here. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones last for 24 hours after a full charge. Meanwhile, the Nothing Headphone (1) will last you for 35 hours with ANC turned on, and then 80 hours when the ANC is turned off. The win here goes to the Nothing Headphone (1). The Nothing Headphone (1) get very close to being a very good pair of headphones. They've laid down the ground work, with a lovely design, solid build quality, and some impressive features for the price. But they're let down by some very disappointing sound quality. They don't sound as good as the Bose, that's for sure, which also beat them in noise canceling and comfort. The price differential is massive, but there's no denying that the more well-rounded product package from Bose is a better way to spend your money. I'd hoped to see Nothing arrive on the scene and bring some disruption to the table. While they got pretty close to the competition, there still needs to be some work done on Nothing's part to make sure they sound their best. As it stands, they're let down by the sound profile — and what are headphones all about if not their sound?

Bluetooth flaw exposes millions of premium headphones to spying
Bluetooth headphones are supposed to make life easier. You put them on, press play and forget they exist. But researchers have found that some of the most popular audio products on the market might be doing more than streaming your playlist. Cybersecurity firm ERNW has revealed that 29 devices using Airoha Bluetooth chips are vulnerable to attacks that could expose your personal data or let someone snoop on your conversations. The affected devices come from well-known brands, including Bose, Sony, JBL, Jabra and Marshall. They include headphones, earbuds, speakers and wireless microphones. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide —c free when you join my The Bluetooth flaws in question are built into Airoha chips commonly used in true wireless audio devices, as reported by BleepingComputer. Three flaws were disclosed, each allowing an attacker to gain some level of unauthorized access. The most serious flaw lets an attacker read or manipulate data by exploiting a custom protocol used by the chip. All three flaws have been assigned official CVE numbers and scored between medium and high severity. To be clear, these are not casual attacks. They require close proximity and technical expertise. But when successful, the results are concerning. Researchers showed that they could extract call logs, contact lists and media being played. They could even force a phone to place a call without the user's knowledge. Once connected, they could listen in on any sound the phone picked up. In one proof-of-concept, the researchers retrieved Bluetooth link keys from a headphone's memory. This allowed them to impersonate the device and hijack the connection to the phone. With that access, they could issue commands using the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile, a feature available across most modern phones. ERNW researchers have identified the following devices as vulnerable: Keep in mind that this list may not include every product affected by these vulnerabilities. As more research emerges, the list could change. Furthermore, not every device faces all the same risks. For instance, at least one manufacturer seems to have already addressed CVE-2025-20700 and CVE-2025-20701. However, we do not know if this fix was intentional or accidental. Because of these factors, getting a complete and accurate picture of which devices are truly secure remains a challenge. As a consumer, you should stay alert for updates and check with your device's manufacturer for the latest information. Airoha has addressed the vulnerabilities in its software development kit (SDK) and released an updated version to device manufacturers in early June. These manufacturers are now responsible for building and distributing firmware updates to affected products. If you haven't seen an update yet, it should be arriving soon, though some may already be available. However, there's a catch. According to a report by German outlet Heise, many of the most recent firmware updates for affected devices were released before Airoha provided its official fix. This means some products may still be running vulnerable code, despite appearing up to date. To make matters more complicated, consumers typically aren't notified directly about these updates. Firmware patches for headphones and similar devices often install silently, or in some cases, may not be delivered at all. As a result, most users have no way of knowing whether their devices are secure or still exposed to risk. We reached out to all 10 companies for a comment, but did not hear back before our deadline. 1. Regularly check for firmware updates: Visit the manufacturer's app or website to manually check for firmware updates, even if you haven't received a notification. Automatic updates aren't always reliable, especially for headphones and earbuds. 2. Turn off Bluetooth when not in use: Disabling Bluetooth when you're not actively using it reduces your exposure window and makes it harder for attackers to target your device. 3. Use devices in low-risk areas: Since these attacks require close proximity, avoid using Bluetooth audio devices in crowded or unfamiliar public places where someone nearby could exploit vulnerabilities. 4. Pair devices with trusted sources only: Avoid pairing your Bluetooth headphones with unfamiliar phones, computers or public terminals. Once paired, those devices can sometimes maintain a connection or reestablish one without your knowledge, increasing the risk of abuse if they're compromised. 5. Remove unused paired devices: Go into your Bluetooth settings and delete old or unfamiliar pairings. This helps prevent unauthorized reconnections from previously trusted devices that may now be compromised. The real concern here isn't the Bluetooth flaw itself, but what happens when the software inside everyday devices fails quietly. Vulnerabilities like this aren't unusual, but the way they are handled often leaves users in the dark. As long as consumers can't see or control the software running inside their own headphones, problems like this will keep happening. Should manufacturers be required to notify users directly when security flaws are discovered in their products?
