Edifier LolliClip: review
The Edifier LolliClip make for a somewhat peculiar, yet enticing proposition.
So, how does Edifier fare in its attempt to fuse high sound quality with an open-ear design?
Largely, very well, actually.
And Id say thats a fair assessment.
Thats forgivable for a pair of open ears, but something that audiophiles will pick up on.
If you want massive sub-bass you might be a little disappointed too.
But again perhaps to be expected given the
But generally, bass is still solid considering these are open-ear.
Vocals were clear too, with high notes sounding controlled and decently separated from other instrumental elements.
However, theres not much here and I would advise against switching out of Classic when listening to music.
On top of that, you could immerse yourself in spatial audio and head tracking.
But theres so much more to dig into with the Edifier ConneX app.
For instance, you might activate adaptive ANC, which is not always a given for open-ear headphones.
How good is it?
Well, as you may expect, not top-tier but its not bad either.
Speaking of turning ANC on and off, this segues into a major gripe I have with the LolliClip.
That all felt a bit clunky.
More generally, the in-app experience, via Edifier ConneX could be better too.
And this part of the app is rammed with all sorts of options.
Thats just one inclusion that shows the practicality of these buds.
But lets check out how these buds perform in the looks department.
In honesty, its a bit of a mixed bag.
The plastic charging case perhaps doesnt feel too durable, either.
But I do quite like the clip-like appearance of the buds.
Its not particularly discreet, but carries a unique aesthetic as well as delivering security and comfortability.
The Edifier LolliClip are a strong pair of open-ear headphones with above-average sound in the category.
At $129 (about 100 / AU$210), are they worth it?
There are a lot of great alternatives to consider, though.
That price should remain the same whether you purchase the black or white variant.
Should you buy the Edifier LolliClip?

Clunky app and weak spatial audio, but neat health options, ANC.

Sound quality
Can get a little muddy at top volume, but generally strong for open-ears.
Design
Interchangeable buds, decent waterproofing, could look more premium.
Value
ANC and up-to-scratch audio make these well worth it, still not cheap.
Youre getting decently weighty bass, clear mids and pleasingly controlled highs.
Little to no tinniness to contend with here something thats fairly common with open ear models.
That means youll be able to keep tabs on your surroundings if youre on a run, say.
Thats ideal for when youre in traffic-heavy environments.
You want a smooth companion app experienceUnfortunately, the Edifier ConneX app is a bit painful to use.
Theres no ANC and battery life doesnt quite stack up to that of this Edifier model.
But hey, theres still so much to love.

When listening to music, I made use of Tidal on mySamsungGalaxy S24 FE.
On top of that, I blasted a whole host of tunes from my personal library.
