The best affordable open-ear earbuds in the Indian segment are getting a new challenger as boAt has launched the Airdopes ProClip, a new audio product designed around the growing global trend of open-ear listening. Unlike traditional earbuds that sit inside the ear canal, open-ear audio products focus on comfort and environmental awareness, allowing users to listen while staying connected with what is happening around them.
Open-ear earbuds have been gaining attention worldwide because they solve a simple everyday problem: people want their music, calls and podcasts without completely disconnecting from their surroundings. However, in markets like India, where users often switch between crowded commutes, workplaces, outdoor activities and fitness routines, the challenge has been finding a balance between awareness, comfort and audio privacy.
The boAt Airdopes ProClip enters this space with a design aimed at addressing those everyday use cases. The earbuds feature an open-ear design, which means they do not block the ear canal completely. This allows users to remain aware of traffic, conversations and surroundings while enjoying audio content.

boAt Airdopes ProClip Features and Design
The highlight of the new earbuds is boAt’s Sonic Seal technology, which is designed to minimise audio leakage. Audio leakage has been one of the biggest concerns with open-ear headphones because sound escaping from the earbuds can disturb people nearby, especially in offices, public transport or shared spaces.
The Airdopes ProClip uses a Cloud Fit design with a lightweight construction aimed at improving long-duration comfort. The secure loop structure helps keep the earbuds in place during movement, making them suitable for workouts, walking, travel and active lifestyles.
Key features of the boAt Airdopes ProClip include:
• Open-ear design for extended comfort
• Sonic Seal technology for reduced audio leakage
• Ambient Sound Awareness to stay connected with surroundings
• Lightweight Cloud Fit construction
• Secure loop structure for better grip
• Designed for commuting, workouts and daily activities
Built for Indian Listening Conditions
While open-ear audio has become a popular category globally, Indian consumers have unique usage patterns. A pair of earbuds can be used during a metro ride in the morning, a work call in the afternoon, a fitness session in the evening and entertainment time at night.
The Airdopes ProClip is manufactured in Noida at Califonix, a joint venture between boAt Lifestyle and Dixon Technologies, as part of the Make in India initiative. The product reflects the growing focus on local manufacturing while adapting global technology trends for regional consumer needs.
boAt says the earbuds are designed to offer a combination of listening comfort, awareness and privacy without moving into the premium pricing territory that has traditionally been associated with open-ear audio products.

The boAt Airdopes ProClip is available in White, Grey and Wine colour options. The earbuds are priced at Rs 1599 during the launch period and are available through boAt’s official channels along with major online retail platforms.

The Bigger Open-Ear Audio Trend
The rise of open-ear earbuds shows how personal audio is evolving beyond just louder sound or deeper bass. Consumers are increasingly looking for devices that fit naturally into their routines. The next generation of audio products is not only about what users hear, but also about how comfortably technology fits into their daily lives.
At Rs 1599, the boAt Airdopes ProClip makes open-ear audio more accessible for mainstream buyers. The real test will be whether its balance of comfort, privacy and awareness can convince users to try a new style of listening. If it succeeds, open-ear earbuds could move from a niche category into a more familiar everyday accessory.
