Frequently Bought Together

Experience high-quality audio without the discomfort of blocking your ear canal. The FreedomClip Headphones feature an innovative open-ear clip design that rests gently on the outer ear. This is a vital piece of low cost assistive technology for individuals who struggle with the sensation of in-ear buds or who require full situational awareness for safety while listening to audio.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Standard earbuds can be physically painful or sensory-overwhelming for many. The FreedomClip supports NDIS goals by:

  • Solving Sensory Sensitivities (SPD/Autism): Many neurodivergent individuals cannot tolerate the feeling of silicone tips plugging their ears (the occlusion effect). The FreedomClip sitsoutsidethe ear canal, providing a pain-free, non-intrusive listening experience that respects sensory boundaries.

  • Ensuring Situational Awareness & Safety: Because the ear canal remains open, the user can still hear their surroundings—traffic, alarms, or a carer speaking—while listening to music or therapy apps. This is critical for maintaining safety during community access.

  • Promoting Hygiene & Ear Health: By not entering the ear canal, these headphones reduce the risk of bacteria build-up and ear infections, which is beneficial for users prone to ear health issues.

  • Simplifying Control: The intuitive touch controls allow for easy management of calls and audio without needing to navigate a complex phone screen, supporting users with fine motor or executive function challenges.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Comfortable "Clip-On" Design: The lightweight, ergonomic clip attaches securely to the ear cartilage without pressure. It’s stable enough for movement but gentle enough for all-day wear.

  • Bluetooth 5.2 Connectivity: Provides a stable, low-power connection to phones and tablets. The dual connection feature allows each earphone to connect independently if needed.

  • Extended Battery Life: Enjoy up to 36 hours of total listening time with the included charging case (which recharges the buds up to 4 times). This ensures the device is ready for long days at school, work, or therapy.

  • Clear Sound & Communication: Despite the open design, they deliver HiFi stereo sound with deep bass. The built-in microphone with noise cancellation ensures clear voice calls for telehealth or connecting with support workers.

  • Safe & Durable: Low radiation output and sweat-resistant materials make them safe for daily, long-term use.

The FreedomClip Headphones are a practical audio aid designed to assist NDIS participants in achieving their personal goals for community access, sensory regulation, and safe communication. They are classified as Low Cost Assistive Technology - an accessible alternative to standard headphones that addresses sensory and safety barriers.

How This Item Can Support NDIS Goals

This open-ear device directly supports NDIS goals related to sensory processing, safety, and social inclusion by:

Managing Sensory Sensitivities: For participants with Autism or Sensory Processing Disorder who cannot tolerate objects inside the ear canal, standard earbuds are unusable. The FreedomClip's external design removes this barrier, allowing access to therapeutic audio, music, or communication without distress.

Enhancing Safety & Community Access: Maintaining situational awareness is critical for safety. Unlike noise-cancelling headphones that block out the world, these allow the participant to hear environmental cues (like traffic) and support workers while still engaging with audio, fostering safer independent travel.

Facilitating Communication: The clear microphone and comfortable fit make these ideal for telehealth appointments or phone calls with support networks, ensuring the participant can stay connected without physical discomfort.
