How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a featherweight, glasses-friendly clip-on with a simple setup and long total battery life for Xbox sessions, choose Piluyaa Clip-on Earbuds; if you need hi-res LDAC audio, Dolby processing, and a richer control app for Xbox gaming and movies, choose SoundPEATS Clip1.
• Piluyaa's biggest strength: Just 5.3 g per earbud with a C-shaped bridge and slim hook designed to sit alongside glasses, plus Bluetooth 5.4 and up to 24 hours total with the case.
• Piluyaa's biggest trade-off: 6 hours per charge and no app, no hi-res codec, and no gaming mode — it keeps things basic.
• SoundPEATS Clip1's biggest strength: LDAC hi-res up to 96 kHz/24-bit, Dolby Audio, a 12 mm dual-magnet driver, AutoSense wear detection, and up to 40 hours total.
• SoundPEATS Clip1's biggest trade-off: LDAC drops battery to around 4 hours per charge, and you need the PeatsAudio app to unlock its best features.
• Who each is for: Piluyaa suits glasses wearers and casual listeners who want light, fuss-free open ear TWS earbuds; Clip1 suits listeners who want richer sound and app control for gaming and media.
The Piluyaa Clip-on Earbuds are built around one idea: get out of the way. Each earbud weighs 5.3 g, and the C-shaped ear clip with a slim hook is specifically shaped for people who wear glasses. If you've ever fought with a headband or a bulky hook that presses your frames into your head, that detail matters more than any spec sheet number. The open-ear design leaves your canal clear, so you stay aware of traffic, announcements, or someone talking to you.
On the tech side, Piluyaa uses Bluetooth 5.4 for low-latency wireless, dual sonic directional transmission to keep sound from leaking out, and ENC noise cancellation for calls. Battery is 6 hours per charge and about 24 hours total with the charging case. IPX5 water resistance covers rain and sweat, and touch controls handle playback without reaching for your phone.
Who should buy it: glasses wearers, walkers, gym-goers, and anyone who wants a genuinely light clip-on for podcasts and calls. Who should skip it: if you care about hi-res codecs, an EQ app, or a gaming low-latency mode, the Piluyaa gives you none of those — it's the simpler tool.
The SoundPEATS Clip1 aims higher on audio. It supports LDAC for hi-res wireless sound up to 96 kHz/24-bit, and it's the first SoundPEATS open-ear model with Dolby Audio, which widens stereo into something more spacious for movies and music. A custom-tuned 12 mm dual-magnet driver does the heavy lifting, and SoundPEATS' Dynamic EQ Pro rebalances frequencies in real time.
Comfort is still the point: 5 g per earbud, soft liquid silicone, and an ultra-thin 0.6 mm nickel-titanium N-Flex Arch that flexes to fit a wide range of ear shapes. AutoSense detects which ear each bud is on and swaps channels automatically, and it pauses playback when you take them off. The PeatsAudio app unlocks drop detection, multipoint pairing, and a low-latency mode for gaming or video.
Battery is up to 8 hours per charge and up to 40 hours with the case; a 10-minute top-up gives roughly 2 hours. Enable LDAC and that per-charge figure drops to about 4 hours at 60% volume. IPX5 covers workouts, SoundFocus limits leakage, and the AeroVoice chamber cuts wind noise by up to 25%.
Who should buy it: listeners who want the best sound quality they can get from a clip-on, plus app control and a gaming mode. Who should skip it: if you want zero setup and maximum simplicity, the app dependency and LDAC battery hit will annoy you.
• Best for glasses wearers → Piluyaa Clip-on Earbuds. The C-shaped bridge and slim hook are explicitly designed for people who wear frames.
• Best sound quality → SoundPEATS Clip1. LDAC, Dolby Audio, and a 12 mm dual-magnet driver outclass a standard dynamic driver setup.
• Best total battery life → SoundPEATS Clip1. Up to 40 hours with the case versus Piluyaa's roughly 24 hours.
• Best per-charge battery → SoundPEATS Clip1. Up to 8 hours versus Piluyaa's 6 — though LDAC cuts that to about 4.
• Best for Xbox gaming → SoundPEATS Clip1. Its low-latency mode through the app is the more useful feature for syncing audio to a game.
• Simplest to live with → Piluyaa Clip-on Earbuds. No app, no codec switching, no feature toggles — just pair and go.
• Lightest wear → a near tie. 5.3 g versus 5 g; both are light enough to forget you have them on.
• Best for calls outdoors → SoundPEATS Clip1. Wind-noise reduction up to 25% plus ENC-style noise control helps in breezy conditions.
I'd buy the SoundPEATS Clip1. For Xbox gaming and media, the low-latency mode, Dolby Audio, and LDAC support give it a real edge, and 40 hours of total battery means less charging. The trade-off is that LDAC shortens per-charge life and you'll want the app. If you wear glasses daily and just want something light that works without fuss, the Piluyaa Clip-on Earbuds are the smarter pick.
FAQ
how to use tws earbuds
Take both buds out of the charging case and they power on and enter pairing mode. Open your phone's Bluetooth settings and select the earbud name to connect. After the first pairing, most true wireless earbuds reconnect automatically when you remove them from the case.
Clip-on open-ear models like these rest on the outer ear rather than inside the canal. Slide the C-shaped clip or N-Flex arch over the edge of your ear so the driver faces inward toward your ear canal. The SoundPEATS Clip1's AutoSense detects left and right automatically and adjusts the channels for you.
how to operate tws earbuds
Both models use touch controls on the earbud surface. Taps handle play, pause, track skipping, and calls. The Piluyaa relies on touch gestures alone, while the SoundPEATS Clip1 adds app-based customization plus automatic pause and resume when you remove or reinsert a bud.
how to open tws earbuds
Open the charging case lid and lift each earbud out — they power on automatically and start pairing. There's no separate power button to press on either model. Put them back in the case and close the lid to power them off and start charging.
