vivo launched the Buds Clip in China in September 2026. It is vivo’s first clip-style, open-ear TWS design. Instead of going inside your ear canal, the earbuds sit around the ear using a flexible titanium-alloy bridge.
Now we at passionategeekz has been tipped that vivo is getting ready to bring its unique Buds Clip to India, expanding its audio lineup with a design that looks very different from regular TWS earbuds. The vivo Buds Clip uses an open-ear clip-style design that sits around the ear instead of going inside the ear canal, making it possible to enjoy music while staying aware of your surroundings.
First introduced in China, the Buds Clip comes with a lightweight design, a 12mm driver, Bluetooth 5.4, LDAC support and up to 42 hours of total battery life with the charging case. While vivo has not yet revealed the complete India pricing and sale details, the upcoming launch could give Indian buyers another option in the growing open-ear audio segment.
The Buds Clip use a flexible memory-titanium bridge that clips around the ear. vivo says it used more than 2,000 real-ear models during ergonomic development. The earbuds are also symmetrical, so there is no fixed left/right side—you can simply pick one up and wear it.
