Best open-ear clip-on style buds!
IntroI recently started exploring open-ear earbuds and tried different styles, ranging from hook-style ones like the Shokz Openfit, Soundcore V30i, JBL Soundgear Sense, and 1More S50, to clip-on styles like the Soundcore C30i and these FreeClip earbuds. I found the clip-on style much more comfortable. Currently, there aren't many options on the market for this style, with the Soundcore C30i, Bose Ultra Open, and FreeClip earbuds standing out. After testing them, I believe the FreeClip are the best in this category due to their comfort, sound quality, microphone performance, and overall build. Below, I'll dive deeper into these categories, focusing mainly on comparisons with the Soundcore C30i, which I also own. I didn’t purchase the Bose Ultra Open due to their high price and reports of bugs in other reviews.ComfortTo start, I prefer clip-on style earbuds because they are less bulky than hook-style earbuds. The FreeClip are much lighter than the C30i, making them easy to forget you're wearing them. Additionally, they are far more flexible than the C30i, which have a smaller opening that pinches my helix (the outer 'rim' of the ear) and becomes uncomfortable after 30 minutes. The FreeClip earbuds are easier to put on since they are more flexible and don't pinch as much as the C30i. They can definitely be worn all day, which is convenient given their 8-hour battery life. I opted for the newly released beige color, which has a matte finish instead of the glossy finish found on the other colors. This not only prevents fingerprint marks but also makes them look less like earrings.SoundGenerally, open-ear earbuds don’t produce the best sound since they don’t create a seal around or in your ears like traditional headphones or in-ear earbuds. This limits sub-bass response, but the open design creates an immersive soundstage, making it feel as if the music is enveloping you. Compared to the C30i, the FreeClip offer much clearer sound. The C30i, while much cheaper, sound veiled and hollow, as if you're hearing music through a wall. While neither of these earbuds are intended for critical listening, their open design is ideal for adding a soundtrack to your daily activities. However, I wouldn’t recommend wearing these in an airplane or a loud gym, as you’d need to crank up the volume to dangerous levels to drown out background noise. The best use cases for these earbuds are office spaces or busy streets, where staying aware of your surroundings is important while enjoying music. I prefer the 'Elevate' EQ as it adds a bit more mid-bass to the sound. When I push the volume past 90%, the bass is reduced, probably to avoid distortion, but I don’t recommend going that high anyway as it gets incredibly loud. I usually listen at around 40% volume in a quiet room and 70-80% on a busy street. Anything higher would mask external noises, which defeats the purpose of staying aware of your surroundings.MicrophoneBefore purchasing, I watched plenty of YouTube reviews on these, and they all praised the microphone quality - and they were right! Huawei has been knocking it out of the park with the recording quality on their recent releases. They use three mics on each bud along with some clever algorithms to isolate your voice. The clarity is impressive. I could easily see these being used as office earbuds.App and ExtrasThe app can be found on the iOS app store and offers a few settings such as different EQ presets (though no custom EQ is available), gesture customization, adding experimental features like volume control (which isn't the easiest to trigger) and Find My Earphones (by playing a sound in either of them). The app doesn’t require you to create an account, which is appreciated. In terms of extra features, these earbuds have wear detection, which pauses and resumes audio when taking them off and putting them back on. Another great feature is that both earbuds are interchangeable and will self-adapt the audio channels between left and right. I can place them in either slot in the case, and when I take them out, I don’t have to check which earbud goes in which ear - super convenient!PriceAt more than 2.5x the price of the C30i, I expected them to be better, and they do deliver. However, I understand that these are extremely expensive if you're buying them based solely on sound quality, which is what most people prioritize when shopping for earbuds. This is why I’m knocking a star off my review. That said, if this type of product suits your needs - whether it's comfort, microphone quality, or open-ear design - I recommend splurging on the FreeClip. I’m excited to see future releases in this category of products.
Very pleased with mine
I was skeptical of many things when I purchased this product. I thought they would fall out of my ears, pinch my ears, have bad sound quality, be incompatible with my mp3 player (Huawei Freebud Lites would blast music at full volume and didn't work with the device buttons when I tried to turn the volume down), or leak too much sound. After a day and a half of wearing these Huawei FreeClip earbuds, I can say my worries have disappeared. Particularly, I wore both earbuds in the office, and I could hear perfectly well when someone came up behind me to talk at my desk. My coworker said she couldn't hear my music, even though I tend to listen to loud rock and metal. I paired to my Sony NW-A105, Google Pixel 7 Pro, and Lenovo ThinkPad T14 without issues. The dual-pairing feature is useless to me since I don't plan to install the AI Life app. I couldn't participate in a video call with these earbuds, but that may have been due to accidental use of dual-pairing (I think the instructions said you would only hear audio from one device). Without the app, I can't customise the gestures either, but it seems that double-tapping any part of the earbuds serves to pause/play. I bought the beige version because it was cheapest, but the fact that the colour doesn't stand out so much is an added bonus. Love the fact that the right and left ears are interchangeable. I have double piercings on both ears, and these earbuds didn't interfere with my long dangling earrings in the slightest.
Mind blowing sound quality + comfort
It actually is the best sound quality for an open ear. I also tried shokz open run pro 2 and denon perl pro to compare.The sound quality is great! It feels like you have nearby speakers playing music - feels real! Plus it’s got good little bass! Many won’t like it but it’s perfect for me! And it doesn’t hurt the ear. I use it in the gym.You could however have to increase volume while commuting if it’s noise since they don’t block noiseCall quality is perfect!5/5
Huawei Freeclip
This is second time I buy these, I lost the first one, I love these. Very light sound quality is very good. Wear it all day and ear is not feeling uncomfortable
As good as I expected
When I put my X5 near by the pop up allow me to connect to,it makes everything simple and easy.The only question is when Huawei rolls out harmony os to Canada?
