I’ve never seen ANYTHING like this - HUAWEI FreeClip earbuds!
Переглядів 60,515
День томуHUAWEI FreeClip will roll out to the UK and Europe from late December, priced RRP £179.99 | €199. Customers who pre-order/order from the UK Huawei Store between 12th December 2023 and 29th January 2024 will also be rewarded with a free HUAWEI Band 8.
The Huawei FreeClip earbuds are like no other earbud I’ve ever seen. They’re an open-ear design which has many benefits, but which you may not have heard of before. In this Huawei FreeClip earbuds review, I reveal what they’re all about and why they’ve excited me! Pricing and availability will follow once I have it!

Wow this is exciting product, for me anyway. I am one of those weird ones who can't stand wearing in-ear earbuds. Most comfortable earbuds I own to date is Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. Most people say the ANC on those things are not noticeable, but for me the ANC is very noticeable and effective. Still can't use those for cycling, as for me even with ANC off they are still block too much ambient sound. Maybe this Huawei free clip would be the perfect earbuds for my excercise, cant wait to try it out!

They are perfect for phone calls and sport!
@angelinegiselle 5 місяців тому
interesting design ! i like my airpods pro most of the time, but still find that the best earbuds to use for phone calls or zoom meetings etc are the original apple ear phones that are wired. no stress watching out for battery usage, and the audio quality is so much better with just the right amount of "openness". at work in the office, my desk line is set to ring concurrently on my iphone so that i can take calls on the go with my airpods pro and in such settings, they are usually on transparency mode, so there is definitely such a use case for professional settings. the only problem i see with the huawei is that they may not suit people with cartilage piercings - happy to contribute my 2 cents' worth on the fashion element here 😄
@bjay5241 4 місяці тому
I use the Teufel supreme-in for 1-2 years now, which go in the kind of same direction regarding the open fit, so these could be my next ones. (since the teufel may not last that long...) Only sad thing is the missing ANC, obviously it wouldn't work well here, but sometimes I'm annoyed to have 0 noise reduction and need to crank up the volume. It works, but it isn't good for your ears.

@berndadam8703 5 місяців тому
Very interesting product. There is a 5th reason to buy earphones like this: when you are not able to wear the free buds. When I used them in the beginning it was great, great sound. But after a while (1/2 a year) I got problems with this type of earphones. Water was running out of my ears. That sounds funny, but it is'nt. Twice I tried them again after curing my ears. Everytime the same. And the medicals told me, there is no alergic reaction with the silicon plugs. For the moment I use Samsung Buds Live, which have no negative effect on the ears. They sound good, it would be nice to hear if the bass of the new free clips is similar good to that of the Buds Live???? The disadvantage of the Buds Live is, first they give a little preasurres to the ear, but OK. The second item is that even if the noise reduction is off, it is difficult to understand other people. And for third: the touch command 1 touch stop is difficult. My ones all the time identify dobble touch and instead of stopping the musik they jump to the next song. Resume: if someone can make a comparison between the Buds Live and the new free clip it would be great. Bass is important for me, it has to be real.

Hello! Question: Does this also work on iPhones? I mean, the Huawei app? Because I am an Apple lover, but when it comes to earphones, I am very picky and careful, and I believe the Huawei free clip earbuds are more practical. I don't want any stickiness and it's quite painful to put buds in my ears, which aches. I've also seen a lot of advertising for this device, and it looks really cool. I quite like this one and not just being an apple lover I still look for something more usable and practical and also safe for my ears.

Mark, I thought I would try Huawei headquarters in Ottawa Canada. The woman told me that she knew nothing of this product. She gave me a triple 8 number to call. You either get this number is not longer in service or a recorded runaround. Due to your review, I want to buy a pair. If you live in Canada, there is nothing that I can find to get any information. If this is the way Huawei does business in Canada, I guess I will have to jump back to another product. Very disappointed. I really want these. Thanks, however, as always for a great review.
