An assembly comprising:

• a user device comprising a device housing, a snap insert, wherein the snap insert comprises an annular groove bounded by a first annular surface and a second annular surface;
• and
• a clip assembly comprising:
• a base jaw,
• a pivotable jaw that is pivotably-coupled to the base jaw,
• a strap that is pivotably-coupled to the base jaw at a first end of the strap, and
• a snap button that is pivotably-coupled to the strap at a second end of the strap, wherein the snap button comprises a hole and a flexible ring mounted therein, such that as the snap insert of the user device is inserted into the snap button through the hole, the flexible ring is positioned within the annular groove and retained between the first annular surface and the second annular surface, such that the user device is pivotably-coupled to the second end of the strap,
• wherein the user device comprises a linear microphone array that is accessible through respective holes in the device housing, wherein the user device is allowed to pivot freely such that the user device assumes a substantially vertical orientation when the clip assembly attaches the user device to clothes of a wearer, thereby maintaining the linear microphone array in the substantially vertical orientation.
