Inspire XC1 Open-Ear Earbuds

Yeah I was digging the sound of Baseus xc1, at first. Super clear, but then I noticed that even on low volume they were distorting pianos. Also they seemed to have connectivity issues. I sent them back yesterday, actually. Was a tough decision but I kept comparing them with the opendots and the dots just do it for me. I also have the Soundcore aerofit 2 and love those for calls. So excited for the openfit pro though! I'll try the Bose if I find them heavily discounted hahaha

Yeah, I feel the same. Open ear buds are honestly the most comfortable ones I’ve ever used. Once you put them on, it’s easy to forget they’re even there. I’m using the baseus XC1 now. I actually find it more comfortable than the earhook style since it has less contact with my ears.

It’s a clip style called Baseus XC1. Volume is fine for me. My route isn’t very loud so around forty to fifty percent works. I can hear music and still hear cars.

Before open ear buds I had the same issues as you. A friend recommended the baseus xc1 and I’ve been using it since. It’s a clip-on style earbud that doesn’t go into your ear and lets your ears breathe. I wear it about 6 to 8 hrs a day for work, walking, and exercise and it’s totally fine.

I just got the Baseus XC1s. The sound quality is amazing. They are so comfortable. The bass is incredible and they have both Dolby surround and Bose audio. Plus you can heavily customize the EQ.

Love my XC1s sound so close to my in ear buds but are so much more comfortable. The bass is incredible as is the overall sound. I am impressed. I am still deciding whether I like LDAC mode or using the EQ and Dolby audio more.

Just got the XC1s and the Sound is incredible. You quickly forget that you have them on. They are the most comfortable ear buds I’ve ever used. Glad I went with them. Also the bass is nice for open ear buds.

They have a nice EQ in the app. I haven’t taken a call on them yet. The only down side is that you can’t use the EQ or Dolby audio when using them in LDAC mode, but that is the case with most earbuds that support LDAC. They sound great either way. For a lot of the music you can’t tell the difference between the LDAC and the normal audio mode. Plus LDAC is sketchy on my Pixel 10 Pro XL. I’m going to play with the EQ more today, I haven’t tried any custom settings yet. It has a lot of adjustments that you can make. I have just been using the Bose default so far.

Just got the Baseus XC1s they are so comfortable that you forget that you have them on and the sound is incredible for open ear buds. I can wear them cycling and still hear my surroundings or wear them in the waiting room while at my doctor’s appointments.

Bass is great for open ear buds.

I bought the Baseus XC. They are comfortable but too loud for me at the minimum volume.

I have the Baseus Xc1 and i'll probably return. The low volume is too loud! I have to use an extra app just to make it lower. I can't even move it up one tick from the lowest. Same on iPad and Android. Is that the case with the Shokz? Is the lowest volume pretty quiet?

I stopped trusting him when he said Baseus XC1 had phenomenal bass and sound. He was paid for the review by Baseus. He said the were the best open air, but in subsequent videos he says open dots are. Shame. I had to return the, as they were super cheap feeling and sounded like crap.

Maybe. How they feel though is extremely cheap. That didn't change. The app is also Chinese junk with poorly translated English. That didn't change either.

Thank you for this post. Recently just got a pair and they're horribly buggy (Constant disconnects, static-y audio, horrible audio lag), so I likely have a faulty pair and was deciding between a refund or a replacement. I'll get a replacement and see how they fair.

After getting my 2nd replacement for poor connection, I have to return these and I cannot recommend them. Repeatedly with 2 units I would have the same pauses and disconnects when simply having the phone in my pants pocket. (Side pocket not the back) Not to mention I didn't even have Dolby Atmos or LDAC turned on and I'd still have disconnects when going out for my walk.
