For earbuds i only tried Huawei and they are great sound and battery life. Not so much on noise cancellation if nothing was playing. Tried both the free bud pro, and the clip
I recently started testing a few, premium as well as cheapos. Sometimes amazing how little difference there is. Like those two in the pic. I actually like the much cheaper QCY Crossky C50 better than the new SoundPeats Clip1. I like the Bose, but fear for their life in rain. Also like the Soundcore Aeroclip, but can’t justify the price … the Baseus MC1 pro with IPX67 have the best weather / dust rating. Keep seeing the Huawei freeclips topping lists on YT, but when I tested them I found them just ‘eh’ … my pref is great sound, don’t need LDAC, not interested in phone quality … what else should I check out?
The Huawei Freeclip don't have aptX though unlike the BOSE and I need a low latency codec for my needs. I should say though that the Huawei were actually my second to third choice in case I didn't liked the BOSE!
Huawei free clip. They never fall out while working out and I can barely feel them in my ears. I was an airpods pro user for years before and just hated to adjust them all the time. Sound quality is decent too
for calls check out the Huawei freeclip (if they are available where you live), they are almost sorcery in terms of call quality, was one of the reasons I kept them instead of the opendots
Huawei Freeclip if I want something small Recently got the PX7 S3 and it's great for Deck as well.
I'm currently using the Huawei Freeclip everyday and I'm curious how it compares to the OpenDots
I love my Tozo Open Ears! I also have the Huawei Free Clip and the Soundcore C30i Clip, but the Tozos are my go to. They are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing them and they have a great battery life. No wireless charging, but they don‘t need to be charged very often!
My ear shape sounds similar to yours. I first tried the soundcore aeroclip and also the huawei freeclip, but clip-style designs always feel a bit uncomfortable after long use. I recently switched to the shokz openfit 2+, and I found the earhook design fits my ears better and stays very stable. You could try it too if you’re interested, it might open up a whole new world haha.
