I used my soundpeats pearl clip pro for a few days now. The sound's not bad, the fuctions on the buds are okay though I havent tried the app. Battery life is okay at 24 hrs but qcy has a much longer battery life for the same price-ish. I mainly got this over the qcy because of the comfort edge but tbh, I have still yet to find "the spot" somy ears dont hurt. I mean if you take it off or adjust it, there's no lingering pain but yea. The looks are really cool
If you want open clips like the Bose ultra open but don’t want to spend that much I suggest the Soundpeats Pearl Clip pro. The sound is almost as good and the price is usually less than $40 usd.
Soundpeats pearl clip pro would be my recommendation for under $100 - less than $50 actually.
I have the Pearl Clip Pro and the Pop Clip. The Pearl is a really good clip style bud. The sound is full with decent bass and it works well for calls. The Pop is only better in that it has a physical button control and is slightly more comfortable. I recommend the Pearl.
The Bose are great for low volume high quality music. If you don’t want to pay that much the Soundcore Aerofit 2 is my next choice, followed by the Soundpeats Pearl clip, the Earfun Openjump, the Tozo O2 and, the cheapest option, the Soundpeats Breezy.
The Bose ultra open is my favorite low volume listening experience and its immersive sound mode is superior to all other spatial type settings. Its only weaknesses are call quality and maybe battery life. I bought mine refurbished for $190 so take that into account. The Pearl Clip and the Soundcore Aerofit 2 are very close in sound quality. The Earfun Openjump is the most comfortable with a very long battery life. Whichever one you buy, you will probably be pleased with.
In the US you could get the Soundcore Aerofit 2 around $80. For an open, it has good bass and is one of the better open hook style earbuds. Or look at the Earfun clip for around $50. For a clip, the Earfun Clip or the Soundpeats Pearl Clip Pro are pretty good for around or under $50. Even cheaper, the Baseus BC1 has decent bass. I own all of those so feel free to ask for more information.
I always have my Bose open ultra to fall back on and the cheapo Haylou Airfree for ‘can get wet and die’
The AeroClips. More comfortable than the Bose (but those sound a bit better). Also got the Soundpeats Pearlclips, because I found them for like $18, not bad, surprisingly good for side sleeping.
The pearlclip pro are high on my list )also coz I see them here for $20 refurb)
Does anyone know the price point of these? I got an email from SoundPeats for 35% off and says I can save $52… That seems like a pretty high amount for SoundPeats. I’ve had the TrueEngine 3 SE, Air3 Deluxe, PopClip and PearlClip Pro and will still probably get these if they’re $150 but was just curious.
The ones I have are SoundPeats as well but the Paperclip Pro model, and I feel like the sound doesn't go directly into my ear since the speakers are a bit to the side. Doesn't seem to be the case with the model you sent though, do you find them comfortable?
I got some soundpeats pearlclips for around $35 from aliexpress. Check for coupons.
The Pearlclips are comfortable. Look a bit like earrings, do not block any outdoor sound and are well reviewed for clip on under $50. Jlab Opensport are $20 at bestbuy. (Overear) Baseus BC1 openear is another clip that you can get for $20 at amazon.
