Edifier Launches Comfo Clip Ultra Open-Ear Earphones with Heart Rate Monitoring
Edifier has launched the Comfo Clip Ultra open-ear Bluetooth earphones, priced at 899 RMB after government subsidies. The device introduces integrated heart rate detection and a built-in AI fitness coach. This release reflects the growing trend of converging hearables and health-tracking wearables into a single form factor. By combining open-ear acoustics with biometric sensors and AI coaching, it targets fitness-conscious consumers looking for situational awareness. The earphones feature a titanium-alloy skeleton, LHDC 5.0 high-definition audio support, and a 40.5-hour total battery life. They also utilize dual VPU bone-conduction pick-up sensors and AI noise cancellation to handle wind noise up to 32km/h.
## BACKGROUND
Open-ear clip-on earphones sit outside the ear canal to maintain ambient environmental awareness, though they traditionally struggled with low-frequency response. LHDC 5.0 is a high-resolution Bluetooth audio codec capable of transmitting up to 24-bit/192kHz audio at higher bitrates.
