FAQs

Q: What makes the Cleer ARC 3 Pro different from traditional headphones?

Because of its open-ear design, the ARC 3 Pro rests next to your ears rather than covering them. Unlike in-ear or over-ear headphones, this lets you listen to music while keeping an eye on your surroundings. It’s ideal for situations where situational awareness is crucial, such as commuting or outdoor exercise.

Q: How does the sound quality compare to regular over-ear headphones?

The ARC 3 Pro’s sophisticated bone conduction and acoustic waveguides produce clear highs, well-balanced mids, and powerful bass despite its open-ear design. Particularly for vocal-driven music and podcasts, the sound is still clear and engrossing even though the bass isn’t as isolated as with conventional over-ear headphones.

Q: Can I use these headphones while running or cycling?

Indeed! The ergonomic, lightweight design guarantees a snug fit when exercising. Additionally, the open-ear design makes it safer than conventional headphones for outdoor activities by enabling you to remain aware of people, traffic, and other environmental indicators.

Q: How long does the battery last?

The Cleer ARC 3 Pro can play continuously for up to 10 hours on a single charge, and you can listen for roughly 2 hours on a short 15-minute charge. Battery life can change based on usage habits and noise levels.

Q: Are they compatible with all devices?

Indeed. Additionally, you may pair it with two devices at once thanks to its multi-point connectivity.

Q: Can I take calls with these headphones?

Absolutely. The open-ear design allows you to remain aware of your surroundings while speaking, and the integrated dual MEMS microphones deliver crisp speech capture for calls.

Q: How comfortable are they for long listening sessions?

They are incredibly comfortable for prolonged use thanks to their open-ear design, lightweight materials, and flexible ear hooks, which prevent the ear fatigue that is typical of over-ear or in-ear models.
