Clips on
Most audio products are designed to disappear. ALT Clip is designed to be noticed, but only in the way a well-chosen accessory gets noticed. It clips on. It reads as part of how you dress, not as a piece of tech you happen to be wearing.
That’s the whole point. ALT Clip is built for people who treat the way something looks as part of what it does. The form is the message.
Open by design
ALT Clip is built around an open-ear acoustic architecture. The clips rest outside the ear canal rather than sealing it. No pressure, no isolation, no fatigue from a tight fit through long hours of wear.
The result is audio that fits more naturally into how you actually move through the day. The street noise, the conversations, the doorbell, the colleague walking up to your desk, all still part of the room you’re in, while your audio stays personal.
The audio
ALT Clip carries an 11mm speaker driver tuned for the open-ear form. Hi-Res Audio support handles the source side, so when you’re listening on a compatible track and device, the detail in your music isn’t compressed away.
Hands-free calling
ALT Clip is built for hands-free calling. Clarity depends on network strength and ambient noise around you. On the controls, a double tap answers or ends a call, and a triple tap rejects an incoming one. Siri and Google Assistant are both supported through a tap and hold gesture, with AI Initiation available through a double tap and hold.
Battery and charge
ALT Clip is rated for up to 28 hours of playtime with the charging case. Actual playtime varies with genre, volume, and use. A full charge takes up to 90 minutes through the Type-C port. The case can be charged from a wall adapter, a laptop, or a PC.
InstaCharge™ handles the short top-ups: 10 minutes of charge gives up to 4 hours of playtime. The kind of number that means you mostly stop thinking about charging at all.
Connectivity
ALT Clip runs on Bluetooth v6.0 with a wireless range of up to 10 metres, and remains backward compatible with older Bluetooth versions. Auto-pairing reconnects the clip to the last paired device, so you don’t go through the pairing flow every morning. Dual device pairing lets you stay connected to your phone and your laptop at the same time. Supported profiles are A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, SPP, and AVDTP. Low latency mode is built in.
ALT Clip is compatible with iPhones, Android smartphones, and any laptop or computer that supports Bluetooth. It pairs with the Noise Audio App for further control.

Build and Water Resistance
ALT Clip weighs 41 grams and measures 6.7 x 3.6 x 2.6 cm, slim enough to rest comfortably. An IPX4 rating makes the clip resistant to sweat and light splashes. The clips should be dried fully before the next use.
