Monster Open Ear AC225 Clip-On Earbuds, Bluetooth 6.0, IPX6, 36-Hour Playtime

If you want to listen to audio while staying aware of your surroundings, the Monster Open Ear AC225 uses a clip-on design that leaves your ears open. Its lightweight fit is suited to workouts, commutes, and everyday listening.

For calls, the ENC-enhanced microphone helps reduce background noise. Touch controls let you manage playback, volume, calls, and voice assistants without reaching for your phone.

Choose open-ear earbuds when awareness matters, choose a conventional in-ear style when you prefer a sealed fit. The AC225 pairs with Bluetooth-enabled phones, laptops, and tablets.

The open-ear design helps you hear your surroundings while audio is playing, a practical feature for outdoor exercise and commutes. Each earbud weighs 5.1 g and has an adaptive bridge intended to conform to the ear. The clip-on fit also works alongside glasses and other accessories, making it easier to include audio in an active routine without relying on an in-ear seal.

The 13 mm drivers use directional audio to channel sound toward the ears while minimizing sound leakage. That combination supports personal listening in shared spaces, while the ENC microphone is designed to reduce background noise on calls. For a busy street, gym, or outdoor setting, the call feature and touch controls make it possible to handle calls and playback from the earbuds.

Who it’s for

The AC225 is a good fit for adults who want music or calls without fully covering their ears. Runners, cyclists, and people walking or commuting can keep more awareness of nearby sounds while listening. It also suits office meetings and travel when open-ear comfort is preferable to a sealed earbud style. Bluetooth connectivity makes it useful across compatible phones, laptops, and tablets, while touch operation helps with quick playback or call adjustments during everyday activities.

Included in the package

The package includes the AC225 open-ear clip-on earbuds, a wireless charging case, and a user manual. The case provides a place to store and charge the earbuds between listening sessions, with up to 36 hours of total playtime when case power is included.
