The Noise Air Clips 2 are open-ear wireless earbuds that clip onto the outer ear instead of sitting inside the ear canal. According to the Amazon.in listing, they offer up to 6.5 hours of playback per charge and up to 40 hours in total with the case, 12mm drivers, Noise’s AirWave technology, Bluetooth 5.3, dual device pairing and ENC for calls. They suit people who want to hear traffic, colleagues or family while listening, and people who find in-ear tips uncomfortable. They are not the right choice if you want deep bass, noise isolation or privacy in very quiet rooms.
The Amazon.in link in this article points to the Frost Ivory colour (model Airclips-2, part number AUD-HDPHN-AIRCLIPS-2-BEIGE). Check that the colour and the “Air Clips 2” name match on the listing before ordering, since the first-generation Air Clips and other colours may be listed separately.
Please note: this article is based on the Amazon.in listing details captured on 17 October 2026 (the product was in stock), not on hands-on use or lab testing. Noise’s official product page could not be opened on that date, so specifications are presented as the listing’s claims.
The short answer
- Who it is for: walkers, cyclists who need traffic awareness, office users who want to hear colleagues, and anyone who dislikes in-ear tips
- Who should skip it: people who want ANC, strong bass, or audio for noisy metro and bus rides
- What stands out: clip-on open-ear design, 6.5 hours per charge and 40 hours total (listed), 12mm driver, dual pairing, ENC, Bluetooth 5.3
- What to watch: no IP rating given on the listing, open-ear designs can leak sound at high volume, and the listing gives no latency or charging-time figures
What “open-ear clip” earbuds actually are
Ordinary earbuds seal the ear canal with a silicone tip. That seal blocks outside noise and helps bass, but some people find it tiring over long sessions. Open-ear clip earbuds like the Air Clips 2 instead hook around the edge of the ear, and a small speaker sits just outside the ear canal, directing sound into it through the air.
Noise calls its version AirWave Technology and describes it as precise air conduction that keeps your music to yourself even with an open design. Air conduction should not be confused with bone conduction, which sends vibrations through the cheekbones. With air conduction, sound still travels through the air into your ear, which is why manufacturers work on directing it precisely. How much sound escapes to people nearby depends on volume and the environment, and the listing’s “for your ears only” line is a brand claim we could not independently verify.
The listing also mentions Open Beam Design Gen 2, which Noise pitches as letting you stay aware of your surroundings without taking the Noise Air Clips 2 off.

Comfort and fit
The listing describes a soft clip-on grip meant to fit snugly and stay on all day. This is the main reason to buy clip-style earbuds: nothing presses inside the ear canal, which many people find more comfortable for long work days or for wearing while moving around the house.
Fit still varies with ear shape. A clip that is too loose can shift during brisk walks, and one that is too tight can create pressure on the outer ear after a few hours. The listing does not mention multiple sizes, so if you have very small or large ears, read the listing’s size notes and images carefully before buying.
Sound: what to expect from open-ear audio
The 12mm driver is fairly large for an earbud and is pitched by Noise as delivering detailed, crisp audio even with an open fit. In general, though, open-ear designs cannot produce the same deep, physical bass as sealed in-ear buds, because there is no seal to trap low frequencies. They also lose detail in loud places, since outside noise mixes freely with your music.
That is the trade-off you accept for awareness. For podcasts, calls, background music while working and audiobooks on a walk, open-ear sound is usually perfectly enjoyable. For bass-heavy music on a crowded bus, a sealed pair with ANC is the better tool.
Battery life
Noise lists up to 6.5 hours on a single charge and up to 40 hours in total with the case. The single-charge figure is the one to focus on: it covers a full working day of light use or a long walk plus calls. Real-world results usually fall below the claim at higher volumes, which open-ear users often need outdoors.
The listing says a Type-C fast charging cable is included but does not state a quick-charge figure or full charging time.
Calls, pairing and connectivity
ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) is listed for calls. Like other call noise reduction features, it aims to reduce background noise that reaches the person on the other end. It does not reduce noise for you, and with open ears you will always hear your surroundings.
Dual device pairing (mentioned in the listing title) lets the Noise Air Clips 2 stay connected to a phone and a laptop together, which is useful for office calls. Bluetooth 5.3 is a current version that should pair smoothly with modern phones and laptops. The listing does not mention a low-latency gaming mode, Google Fast Pair, app support or codec details.
Is it safe for cycling and running?
Open-ear designs are popular for outdoor activity because you can hear traffic, horns and people around you. The listing names cycling, exercising and motorcycling among its use cases. Even so, any audio can distract you, so keep the volume low near traffic and follow local rules.
For workouts, note that the listing says “water resistant” without an IP rating, so the level of sweat protection is unclear. Wipe the Noise Air Clips 2 after exercise and avoid rain until you can confirm a rating on the official page.
How to choose open-ear earbuds
- Decide on awareness vs isolation: open-ear buds are for staying aware, not for blocking noise.
- Look at single-charge battery: the per-charge figure decides whether they last a full day.
- Check the IP rating: for gym or outdoor use, a stated rating such as IPX4 or IPX5 gives clearer protection.
- Consider weight and clip shape: lighter buds and flexible clips are generally easier to wear for hours.
- Think about privacy: in a quiet office or library, keep the volume moderate to avoid disturbing others.
- Check pairing needs: dual pairing matters if you use a laptop and a phone for calls.
Who should buy the Noise Air Clips 2
Consider it if you want earbuds you can wear for hours without anything inside your ear canal, you need to hear your surroundings on walks or at the office, and you take calls on two devices. The clip-on design and the 6.5-hour per-charge claim fit that kind of day.
Skip it if bass is a priority, you commute in loud environments, you want ANC, or you need a confirmed water-resistance rating for serious workouts.

Frequently asked questions
Do the Noise Air Clips 2 go inside the ear?
No. They clip onto the outer ear and leave the ear canal open, so you can hear your surroundings.
How long does the battery last?
The listing claims up to 6.5 hours per charge and up to 40 hours in total with the charging case.
Do they have noise cancellation?
They list ENC for calls, which reduces background noise for the person you are talking to. There is no active noise cancellation for music, and the open design lets outside sound in by design.
Can people around me hear my music?
Noise says AirWave keeps sound directed to your ears. Open-ear designs can still leak some sound at higher volumes, so keep volume moderate in quiet places.
Are they waterproof?
The listing describes them as water resistant but gives no IP rating, so avoid heavy sweat and rain until you confirm the rating.
Conclusion
The Noise Air Clips 2 make the most sense for people who value comfort and awareness over isolation and bass. On paper they cover the essentials: 6.5 hours per charge, 40 hours with the case, a 12mm driver, dual pairing, ENC and Bluetooth 5.3. The unstated IP rating and the inherent limits of open-ear audio are the points to weigh before buying.
