JOYROOM OE3 Clip-On Earbuds Offer Lightweight Open-Ear Audio

JOYROOM’s latest addition to the wearable audio scene—the OE3 Clip-On Earbuds—enters a fast-growing segment of open-ear designs. Aimed at casual listeners and daily commuters, the OE3 tries to strike a balance between comfort, simplicity, and usable features. With its featherweight build and a few clever tricks baked in, this model makes a low-key case for convenience over complexity.

A Design That Wraps Around, Not Inside

The most noticeable thing about the OE3 is its L-Bridge clip-on design, which wraps around the ear rather than sitting inside it. JOYROOM uses Ni-Ti shape-memory alloy to allow the earbuds to gently flex to different ear shapes. This material choice gives the earbuds a certain structural memory while keeping them lightweight—each earbud weighs only 4.9 grams.

This approach helps address a common issue with in-ear buds: ear fatigue. Since they don’t block the ear canal, the OE3 also allows ambient sound in, which can be a plus in urban settings where awareness matters. However, this also means they don’t provide much passive noise isolation—something to consider depending on how and where you plan to use them.

Touch Controls Without the Guesswork

Touch controls are pretty standard on wireless earbuds, but the OE3 adds a twist with OmniTap Control. Instead of needing to tap a specific area, the entire earbud responds to touch. This proves handy when you’re wearing gloves or have longer nails, which can often interfere with more traditional tap zones.

A double tap controls both playback and calls. That might seem minimal, but the simplicity fits the rest of the design philosophy. Still, more advanced gestures or customization without the app would have been useful for users who prefer standalone usability.

Smart Channel Detection and Audio Output

Another functional addition is the OE3’s auto left-right recognition. With this feature, the earbuds detect which ear they’re on and automatically route the correct channel. While this won’t change the core listening experience, it does make wearing them less fussy—you don’t have to worry about picking the “right” earbud for each side.

Sound-wise, the OE3 uses 13mm drivers and includes a composite diaphragm paired with high-sensitivity magnets. The resulting audio leans toward clarity and balance, with enough bass to support casual music playback. It’s not studio-grade, but it’s serviceable for daily use like podcasts, streaming, or casual gaming.

AI Noise Filtering and App Integration

For calls, the OE3 features AI Environmental Noise Cancellation (AI-ENC), which filters out ambient sounds such as traffic and wind. In practice, this helps voices come through with better clarity, though performance will vary depending on the noise level.

The JOYROOM app adds further functionality, allowing users to adjust touch gestures, select EQ presets, activate low-frequency boost, and toggle Game Mode, which minimizes audio delay. The Find My Earbuds feature is also built in—a helpful bonus if you tend to misplace small accessories.

In conclusion, the JOYROOM OE3 Clip-On Earbuds prioritize ease of use, comfort, and basic smart features over premium specs. Their open-ear design caters to those who want to stay aware of their surroundings, while features like touch-anywhere control and auto-channel recognition offer small but thoughtful quality-of-life improvements. Available now in select regions—including the U.S., Europe, and Asia—for $69.99 in black or white, the OE3 offers a modest entry point into the open-ear category without trying too hard to impress.
