How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a more feature-rich headphone experience with app-based customization, multipoint Bluetooth and a longer quick-charge story, choose Cleer Audio Enduro ANC; if you need the longest single-charge playtime, memory foam comfort and the simplicity of a straight-ahead ANC/Transparency toggle, choose Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones.
• Cleer Audio Enduro ANC — biggest strength: A genuinely loaded feature set for an over-ear ANC headphone — 40mm Ironless Drivers, aptX Adaptive over Bluetooth 5.0, multipoint pairing for two devices at once, a Cleer+ app with EQ and ANC/Ambient adjustment, and up to 60 hours with noise canceling on.
• Cleer Audio Enduro ANC — biggest trade-off: It asks more of you. There's an app to learn, an EQ to tune, and multipoint to manage. If you want zero setup, this isn't the plug-and-play pick.
• Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones — biggest strength: Up to 65 hours of playtime, 40mm dynamic drivers, memory foam earcups, and a one-touch ANC/Transparency mode switch — plus an aux cable and carrying bag in the box.
• Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones — biggest trade-off: Fewer extras. No app-based EQ, no multipoint, and a shorter 10-meter Bluetooth range versus the Cleer's 15 meters.
• Who the Cleer is for: The tinkerer and the multi-device juggler — someone who wants to shape their sound and hop between a laptop and a phone without re-pairing.
• Who the Clemm is for: The long-haul listener who wants maximum uptime, a soft memory foam fit, and controls that don't require a manual.
The Enduro ANC is the more ambitious of these two headphones. Cleer builds it around 40mm Ironless Drivers, which the company describes as producing a bold, articulate Hi-Res sound profile, paired with a Bluetooth 5.0 chipset that supports aptX Adaptive. In plain terms, that's a design aimed at people who care about how their music is being transmitted, not just whether it plays. The frequency range covers 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and the driver type is dynamic.
Where it pulls ahead of a basic ANC headphone is flexibility. Multipoint connection lets you pair two devices simultaneously and switch between them — laptop for a call, phone for music, back again — without the usual Bluetooth dance. The built-in Qualcomm cVc microphones are there to clean up your voice on calls by reducing surrounding noise, which matters if you take meetings in a busy room. And the Cleer+ app lets you pick preset or custom EQ curves, dial in noise canceling versus ambient awareness, and pull firmware updates. If you like the idea of tuning your headphones rather than accepting them as-shipped, that's a real advantage.
Battery is strong too: up to 60 hours with noise canceling active on a single charge, and a 10-minute quick charge that yields about 3 hours of listening. That quick-charge detail is the underrated spec here — it's the difference between a dead headphone on a commute and one that survives the trip.
Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones: Who It's For
The Clemm Ambience takes the opposite approach: fewer knobs, more endurance. The headline number is 65 hours of playtime — the longest single-charge figure between these two — which is the kind of spec that appeals to people who resent charging rituals. The drivers are 40mm dynamic units with a 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz range, 32 ohm impedance, and 127 dB sensitivity, so they're easy to drive from a phone or laptop without fuss.
The comfort story is where Clemm makes its case. The earcups use memory foam, and the enclosure is a plastic-and-memory-foam build, which suggests a fit that molds to your head over a long session rather than pressing on it. For anyone who wears headphones through a full workday or a transatlantic flight, that's not a trivial detail.
Controls are deliberately simple: a touch-based system with two noise modes — Active Noise Canceling for focus and Transparency Mode for staying aware of your surroundings, without taking the headphones off. That two-mode toggle is exactly what most people actually use ANC for, and Clemm doesn't make you dig through an app to find it.
In the box you get a fabric carrying bag, the headphones, a USB-C (C-to-C) cable, and a user manual. The 3.5mm jack and included aux cable mean you can go wired when the battery is drained or when you're on a plane with an in-seat system. Bluetooth range is listed at 10 meters, which is fine for around-the-house use but shorter than the Cleer's 15 meters.
Who should buy it: long-session listeners, travelers who want wired backup, and anyone who wants ANC and Transparency as a simple physical-feeling toggle. Who should skip it: if you need two devices connected at once, or you want to fine-tune your EQ curve, the Ambience doesn't offer those tools.
• Best for battery life → Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones. Up to 65 hours versus the Cleer's up to 60 hours, both with ANC engaged.
• Best for fast top-ups → Cleer Audio Enduro ANC. A 10-minute quick charge gets you roughly 3 hours of use. Clemm doesn't list a quick-charge figure.
• Best for multi-device users → Cleer Audio Enduro ANC. Bluetooth multipoint pairs two devices at once, so you can move between a laptop and a phone seamlessly.
• Best for sound customization → Cleer Audio Enduro ANC. The Cleer+ app offers preset and custom EQ, plus adjustable ANC and ambient levels.
• Best for call clarity → Cleer Audio Enduro ANC. Qualcomm cVc microphones are specifically aimed at reducing surrounding noise on calls. Clemm lists a built-in mic but no equivalent noise-reduction spec.
• Best for long-wear comfort → Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones. Memory foam earcups are designed to mold to the head; the Cleer uses soft cushioned cups without a memory foam spec.
• Best for wired listening flexibility → Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones. An aux cable is included in the box. The Cleer has a 3.5mm jack and a cable listed as built-in media, so wired use is possible, but the Ambience spells the cable out as a bundled extra.
• Best for simple, app-free control → Clemm Ambience Over-Ear Headphones. Two touch modes, no companion app required. If you'd rather not manage settings, this is the easier daily driver.
If I were buying one, I'd take the Cleer Audio Enduro ANC. In my opinion, the combination of multipoint Bluetooth, aptX Adaptive, the Cleer+ app's EQ and ANC tuning, and that 10-minute/3-hour quick charge makes it the more capable headphone for how most people actually use over-ears — bouncing between devices, taking calls, and tweaking sound. The 60-hour battery is close enough to the Clemm's 65 hours that it wouldn't change my mind. I'd only flip to the Clemm Ambience if maximum playtime, memory foam comfort, and zero-setup simplicity were my top three priorities. Before deciding, check the current price on Amazon for both — that gap may settle it faster than any spec.
The Clemm Ambience is rated higher at up to 65 hours, versus up to 60 hours for the Cleer Enduro ANC with noise canceling active. The Cleer counters with a quick charge: 10 minutes for about 3 hours of use. For raw uptime, Clemm wins; for emergency top-ups, Cleer does.
Do the Clemm Ambience headphones have multipoint Bluetooth?
Both offer Active Noise Cancellation, and the Clemm adds a Transparency Mode toggle for hearing your surroundings. On calls, the Cleer lists Qualcomm cVc microphones designed to reduce background noise, while Clemm lists only a built-in mic with no equivalent spec — so I'd lean Cleer for calls in noisy places.
That depends on what you're paying and what you need. The Clemm gives you longer battery, memory foam earcups, and an aux cable with no app required. The Cleer adds multipoint, aptX Adaptive, app-based EQ and quick charging. Check the current price on Amazon for each, then match the feature list to your habits — that's the honest way to judge value here.
