Features

Overview: The Cleer Audio ARC 3 earbuds feature an open-ear design to help you maintain awareness with your surroundings while you enjoy your music. A flexible hinge places the 16.2mm neodymium dynamic driver in front of the ear canal, while the unique earhook slides behind the ear. The height of the earbud is adjustable for an optimum fit. The earbuds have an IPX7 rating for water and sweat resistance, so you can wear them in the rain, or while you work out. The ARC 3 charges in less than 2.5 hours in the included charging case, which also sterilizes your earbuds when the lid is closed.

Bluetooth 5.4: ARC 3 is equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 for improved reliability and lower latency. The earbuds have a more stable connection and is more resistant to interference. They support SBC and AAC codecs, as well as aptX Adaptive, which is backwards-compatible with aptX and aptX HD. aptX Lossless supports CD-quality audio (16-bit 44.1kHz) over Bluetooth. For improved voice quality and crystal clear phone calls, the earbuds have aptX Voice with Clear Voice Capturing (cVc), which offers 32kHz sampled audio with a flat 16kHz frequency response. With Multipoint Connectivity, you can pair to two devices simultaneously and seamlessly switch between them.

Snapdragon Sound: The ARC 3 earbuds, with the Snapdragon Sound certification, utilize the best technologies in audio and connectivity to deliver a premium listening experience. High Resolution audio lets you hear details of the music as the artist intended. You also get crystal clear calls without dropouts, and dynamic gaming with ultra-low latency.

Dolby Atmos: The Cleer Audio ARC 3 introduces Dolby Atmos optimization for immersive spatial audio. When playing Dolby Atmos-compatible media, the earbuds create the sensation of multiple speakers coming from all directions: left, right, front, back, above, and below.

Touch Screen: ARC 3 comes with a newly-designed charging case that includes a touch screen integrated into its lid. On the touch screen, you can instantly check the charging status of each earbud and the case, and control your music tracks, EQ settings, and volume. You can also start the earbud sterilization procedure from the touch screen.

Touch Controls: The outer portion of the earbuds feature touch sensitive controls. Basic music controls include play/pause, next track, and previous track. Phone controls include answer calls, end calls, and reject calls. You can also activate your phone's native voice assistant (Google, Siri). Volume can be raised with a double-tap and hold on the right earbud, and volume is lowered with a double-tap and hold on the left earbud.

Head Gesture and Voice Controls: The earbuds feature 6-axis motion sensors that let you control incoming phone calls with head gestures. When a call comes in, you can answer it by nodding your head twice. Rejecting or hanging up the call takes two shakes of the head. In addition, you can control the earbuds with your voice using the following commands: Previous song, Next song, Play music, Pause music, Volume up, Volume Down, Pick Up (call), and Reject call.

Cleer+ App: The Cleer+ app (iOS 12.0+, Android 8+) lets you customize your ARC 3 earbuds to your personal tastes. In the app, you can configure the touch controls and head gesture controls as you desire. You can also check the battery status of each earbud and the charging case at a glance. When a firmware update becomes available, you will be notified in the app, and it can be loaded to the earbuds when they are connected. If you misplace your earbuds, you can locate them with the Find My Earbuds feature in the app. The app triggers an alarm that plays through the earbuds to help you find them.

Battery Power: The earbuds charge in less than 2-1/2 hours while stored inside the charging case. The charging case can be charged via the included USB cable and a commercially-available USB charging port (5V 1A minimum). You can also charge the case wirelessly, using a Qi-certified charging pad. On a full charge, the earbuds provide up to 10 hours of music playback time. The charging case stores enough energy for an additional 40 hours of playback time for a total of 50 hours. A 10-minute quick charge will provide approximately 1 hour of playback time. To save battery power, the earbuds will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of no use. The duration can be adjusted in the Cleer+ app.

Earbud Sterilization: The ARC 3 earbuds are not only charged, but are automatically bathed in UV-C light when the charging case lid is closed. The sterilization will last for approximately 10 seconds, which kills up to 99.9% of bacteria on their surfaces. The UV LED will automatically turn off if the case is opened to prevent UV light from leaking out.
