Our take on the Monster AC601 Clip-On Open Ear Wireless Earbuds

The Monster AC601 is a clip-on open-ear wireless earbud that hooks over the ear so the ear canal stays open. It uses Bluetooth 5.4, an ENC noise-canceling mic for calls, and Monster rates total playtime at 40 hours with fast charging. It suits runners, cyclists and commuters who want to hear traffic and surroundings, and it competes with open-ear clips like the Shokz OpenFit and Bose Ultra Open on comfort and awareness rather than bass or isolation. The 4.8 rating from 60 buyers is a small sample, so treat it as early signal.

Questions and answers

How does the AC601 differ from in-ear earbuds?
It clips over the ear and leaves the ear canal open, so you hear your surroundings. You trade bass and isolation for awareness and comfort.
Is it good for running?
Yes. The light clip-on fit is built for sport and keeps the ears open to traffic. Sweat resistance is not stated, so avoid heavy downpours.
How long does the battery last?
Monster rates 40 hours of total playtime with the charging case and fast charging for quick top-ups. Real-world time drops with higher volume.
Can I use it for calls?
Yes. It has an ENC noise-canceling mic for calls. It works best indoors or in light noise; wind outdoors is harder to block.
Does it work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. Bluetooth 5.4 pairs with both. There is no app-level codec lock-in mentioned, so it works as a standard Bluetooth headset.
Will people around me hear my music?
At moderate volume, leakage is limited. At high volume in quiet rooms, nearby people may hear it, which is normal for open-ear designs.
