- How do the C3 earbuds stay on?
- They clip over the ear with an ear-loop shape rather than pushing into the canal. The loop hooks around the back of the ear and the driver rests outside the opening. Fit varies with ear shape, so check the clip tension suits you.
- Can I hear traffic while wearing them?
- Yes. The open design does not seal the ear canal, so ambient sound reaches you. That is the main reason to choose them over sealed in-ears for running or cycling.
- Are they good for noisy trains or planes?
- No. Without a seal they block almost no engine or crowd noise, and you may turn the volume up to compensate. Sealed earbuds with noise cancelling suit those settings better.
- Are they waterproof?
- They are water resistant, which covers sweat and light rain. Do not swim or shower in them, and dry them before charging.
- Do they leak sound?
- Some. Because nothing seals the ear, people close by can hear quieter passages. Keep the volume moderate in shared spaces.
- How do they compare with bone-conduction headphones?
- Both keep the ear open. The C3 rest outside the ear canal, which usually gives more bass and body than bone conduction, while bone-conduction sets often feel more secure for heavy exercise.
