Amazon Japan reduces the price of EarFun’s Clip 2 open-ear earbuds by 20%, highlighting a competitive feature set focused on convenience and situational awareness at a lower price point, despite some compromises in sound quality.
Amazon is discounting EarFun’s Clip 2 open-ear earbuds in Japan, cutting the price from ¥9,990 to ¥7,988, according to AppBank. The outlet says the offer is 20% off and is scheduled to run until 23:59 on 19 August 2026.
The Clip 2 is built around a clip-on, ear-cuff style design rather than an in-ear seal, which makes it better suited to people who want to keep some awareness of their surroundings. Reviews from Tom’s Guide, SoundGuys and TechRadar say the model combines Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint support, LDAC high-resolution audio, wireless charging, USB-C charging and IP55 protection, alongside a claimed 40-hour total battery life with the case. EarFun also adds AI translation through its app, a feature several reviewers singled out as unusually ambitious at this price.
Sound quality appears to be the main trade-off. Tom’s Guide and TechRadar both note that bass can be limited and that complex tracks lose some control at higher volumes, while SoundGuys says the default tuning leans bright and may benefit from equaliser adjustment. Even so, the same reviews praise the Clip 2 for comfort, light weight and convenience, with its 5.5g build and wraparound fit making it practical for commuting, exercise and all-day wear. COMPUTER BILD was similarly positive, giving the earbuds a good overall score and highlighting the app’s flexibility and the usefulness of the AI translation tool.
For buyers weighing open-ear earbuds, the appeal here is not pure audio fidelity but a broad feature set at a lower price than many rivals. The Clip 2 offers a mix of call quality, quick pairing, multipoint connectivity and a secure fit that makes it attractive for people who want music, calls and situational awareness in one device. At the current Amazon price, it is positioned as a strong value choice rather than a specialist audiophile product.
