The JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple are true wireless earbuds that clip onto the outer ear instead of sitting inside it. Nothing goes into the ear canal, so you keep hearing traffic, colleagues and announcements while your music plays. Purple Ghost is one of the five Ghost finishes JBL introduced for this model, described by JBL as a metallic tint with a translucent finish, and it comes with a colour-matched charging case. Inside each clip is an 11mm dynamic driver with JBL OpenSound air-conduction tuning, and the clips are rated IP54 against water and dust.

What Purple Ghost looks like and who it suits
The JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple are the most expressive colour in the range. The translucent metallic shell lets the purple read as soft lavender in daylight and deeper violet under office lighting, and because the clip sits on the outside of the ear it is visible, almost like jewellery. JBL itself pitches the clip design as something you can wear alongside an earring stack and sunglasses. This colour suits buyers who want their earbuds to be part of an outfit rather than hidden: students, creators and anyone who already wears silver or rose-toned accessories. If you prefer something that disappears on the ear, the black version in the same family is the quieter choice.
How the clip-on open-ear fit works
Each earpiece is a flexible arc of soft TPU that hooks around the edge of the ear, with the speaker resting just outside the ear canal. JBL calls this the SonicArc shape: it positions the speaker to give more bass and to reduce how much sound leaks to people nearby. There are no ear tips to choose and nothing pressing inside the ear, which is why many people find open-ear designs easier to wear for long stretches. Each clip of the JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple weighs 6.5 g according to JBL. Because the ear stays open, the JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple will never block outside noise the way sealed earbuds do.
Sound: OpenSound with Adaptive Bass Boost
In the JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple, JBL uses air conduction rather than bone conduction, so sound travels through the air into the ear from the 11mm dynamic driver. An Adaptive Bass Boost algorithm adds weight to the low end, which open-ear designs naturally lose because there is no seal. JBL lists a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. In the JBL Headphones app you can pick from six EQ presets or shape the sound yourself with a 10-band equaliser. Expect clear, balanced listening for podcasts, calls and background music rather than the deep, isolated bass of sealed in-ear models.
Calls with four microphones
The JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple have four microphones in total, two per earpiece, with beamforming and what JBL describes as an AI-trained algorithm for crisp, clear calls. The app goes further than most: you can choose whether to use one or both microphones in each clip and personalise how your voice sounds on calls. JBL quotes up to 4 hours of talk time per charge. Since your ears stay open, you also hear your own voice naturally, which makes long calls on the JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple feel less tiring than with sealed earbuds.
Battery, charging and connection
JBL rates the clips at up to 8 hours of music per charge, and the case holds about three more full charges for up to 32 hours in total. A full charge takes 2 hours, while a 10-minute speed charge over USB-C gives around 3 more hours of playback. Note that JBL does not include a USB-C cable in the box. The JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple use Bluetooth 5.4, support multipoint so you can switch between two devices, and offer Google Fast Pair for one-tap pairing on Android. Touch controls on the JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple can be customised in the app.
Who This Is Not For
The JBL Soundgear Clips Ghost Purple are not for anyone who needs noise cancelling: an open-ear design lets outside sound in by design, so they are a poor choice for flights, noisy metro rides or focused study in a busy room. Bass will never match sealed in-ear earbuds, and at high volume people sitting close by may hear some of your audio. No USB-C cable is included, the case has no separate water rating, and JBL does not list a codec beyond standard Bluetooth audio, so there is no LDAC or aptX for high-resolution listening.
