Amazfit Up Bluetooth Open-Ear Headphones (clip-on) with AI Noise Reduction, IPX4
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after wireless earbuds that feel comfortable for long stretches and stay put when you move, the Amazfit Up are built around an open-ear approach. Instead of sealing your ear canal, the design leaves it unobstructed, and the clip-on style is there to improve stability during workouts—so you’re not constantly readjusting them.
They’re also aimed at day-to-day use beyond music. With quick Bluetooth pairing and AI-enhanced call processing, these headphones are positioned as a practical option for commuting, walking, and staying in touch on the go. Still, the open-ear fit isn’t everyone’s preference: you may find they leak sound more than closed earbuds and they can be less ideal in very noisy environments.
What you’ll notice in real use
The comfort angle is the most obvious day-to-day benefit. An open-ear design generally means less “pressure” than in-ear models, which can matter if you wear earbuds for meetings, podcasts, or long listening sessions. The clip-on feature is there to counter the usual open-ear downside—slipping during dynamic movement—so for sports, running, and general active routines, the intent is clear.
Connection also follows a simple rhythm. After the initial setup, you can take the earbuds out of the case for instant connection, which is the kind of small convenience that adds up if you switch between listening modes often.
And for calls, the AI noise reduction is designed to help with background noise such as wind. That’s a meaningful differentiator if you regularly take calls while walking through busy areas.
Controls, voice and the “hands-free” angle
The Amazfit Up includes easy touch control so you can manage audio without reaching for your phone. The control method uses responsive buttons that are described as resisting humidity and sweat, which is helpful if your hands get a bit damp while training.
For voice interaction, there are two paths mentioned. If you also use an Amazfit watch with Zepp Flow, you can use voice control and adjust settings, and even reply via speech-to-text. If you don’t have the watch, the earbuds support a triple-tap gesture to access your phone’s voice assistant.
Battery life and charging case practicality
These aren’t marketed as “all-day battery no matter what” earbuds, but they look reasonable for typical use. You get up to six hours of music playback, with up to an additional 18 hours using the compact USB rechargeable case. So if you’re mostly streaming for commutes, workouts, and evening listening, you likely won’t be thinking about charging every day.
That said, battery claims are usually easiest to trust as a best-case scenario. If you spend more time on calls or keep audio at high volume, real-world runtime may come down.
Key takeaways for sports and outdoor days
Where the Amazfit Up earns its place is in active, everyday listening. The earbuds are IPX4 water resistant and sweatproof, which suits workouts where rain mist, sweat, and general weather exposure are part of life.
They also include AI-enhanced call processing that targets wind and background noise, making them a more sensible buy if you often talk while walking outside.
One limitation to keep in mind: open-ear earbuds can be hit-or-miss depending on what you’re doing. If you need strong isolation to focus in loud places, these may not feel as “locked in” as sealed designs.

Should you buy it?
It makes sense if you want comfortable, open-ear wireless headphones designed for sports and running, and you value stability thanks to the clip-on fit. It’s also worth considering if you’re regularly making calls outdoors, because the AI noise reduction is specifically meant to help with wind and background noise.
You may want to skip them if you strongly prefer sealed in-ear isolation, or if you need maximum noise blocking in very busy environments—open-ear designs don’t aim for that. Also, if you don’t care about call clarity or voice assistant access, you might not get much beyond the general “music on the go” experience.
If you do buy, it’s smart to check that the open-ear feel is your kind of comfort, since that’s the foundation of this product. For many people, it’s the difference between “fine for an hour” and “actually wearable all day”.
