I’ve never seen ANYTHING like this - HUAWEI FreeClip earbuds!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Hands-up if you use open-ear earbuds! And, if you do, what's the main use case?

[@CliffR]

Shokz for running

[@bdwdreamweaver]

haha never used any before, but considered using the watch for all the functions, then headphones, and finally this lol

[@paulg666]

I do. I use ambie. They are great. I’ve had them for about a year.

[@madresults_952]

I use Tozo open ear buds at work. Only 1 in a ear at a time because work :( They sound great btw and are super comfortable

[@greengadgets235]

they really good ones

[@krijgwatzeg0000]

Ordered them today. Earbuds never stay in my ear, this is perfect for me.

[@vancebente5186]

How do they sound to you? Are they any good?

[@dribbens91]

And where exactly do you recommend them to go? Airport? Restaurants? Puna? Underground tunnels? Schools? Inside trains? 🎉

[@gillygillyyt55]

I adore anything by Huawei. My P30 Pro is in it's fifth year now and it's still quick charging and still so very swift. Amazing camera too. Want these earbuds....NOW.

[@zmn07583]

my p30 is still good too till today. shame that the US & its allies are doing all they can to kill Huawei when they cant even compete & blaming security as the reason, while ironically CIA & MI6 too have been spying on electronic consumers for years......

[@asasa348]

The best

[@greengadgets235]

p30 pro is the datum line of high end phones

[@bigmantrue1]

Huawei has a unique way of understanding and presenting what truly resonates with my interests and preferences.

[@MrCarlosh2o]

I'll buy them as soon as they come out for sale

[@LindaLooUK]

Interesting. They've certainly piqued my interest as I can't do earbuds that actually go in the ear canal and these look to be incredibly comfortable to wear. Thanks for the review. 😊👍

[@alanmillership1339]

I got these yesterday other strength of your review. Comfort wise nothing beats them for me. I have better buds with obviously better sound but I'm happy with the slight compromise for all day comfort. My new favourite earbuds.

[@dribbens91]

I have it and the sound isn't very loud but high quality and very nice ❤

[@gantenbeinable]

They are perfect for phone calls and sport!

[@LesterDarioDeLaCruz]

I love the galaxy buds live for in home earbuds, this feels like the spiritual successor to that

I just came from your tiktok, I appreciate how calm your voice sounds, great video!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thanks! And welcome onboard!

[@-_______-_______-______-]

@@MarkEllisReviews yes, your voice and pronounciation is so smooth a cool!

[@luxluv7934]

I've always struggled with finding earbuds that stay securely in place due to my small ears. No brand, from Galaxy Buds, Bose to Apple AirPods, has ever managed to fit comfortably without falling out. It’s been a bit like being Goldilocks, trying one after another without success. Recently, I decided to order the Huawei FreeClips, and I’m relieved to hear that they don't fall out, which is truly all I need. I’m feeling quite optimistic about these and am eagerly awaiting their arrival next week!😊

[@waslotaliam5119]

❤❤ love them madly , can't wait to see them on sale

[@daveg2478]

Thanks for your thorough and early review. I'll be purchasing some once they become available.

[@unimobile123]

I just tried the sample set in malaysia, tried on call, both party can each clearly, i shake head no sign pf dropping,listen to youtube clear, don't feel any pain and don't really feel anything there, I have pre order it

[@unimobile123]

I bought malaysia set and have been using for at least one month,so far only sometime intermittent if use it with my work laptop, no issue connect with my p60 pro

[@MrMklasse]

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!

[@PkmnLovr1]

In order of importance, my three questions are: 1) Are they comfortable in the ear/do they hurt when in the ear for extended periods of time? 2) How easily do they slip out/Can I comfortably laugh, chew, shake my head, jump up and down without threat of them falling out? 3) How good is the sound quality/Are there a noise-cancelling, ambient sound, and normal sound features?

[@angelinegiselle]

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 😄

[@CliffR]

How are they compared to Shokz ?

[@berndadam8703]

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.

[@Lucy-vj1vb]

Thank you for your review! Very helpful. Can they be paired with Apple Watch?

[@vikramshetty9661]

Looking at this review i have ordered mine now

[@SJL71MAC]

Hi Mark - Just looking to see if comfort wise they would be okay to sleep with at night doing meditation or will they cause discomfort in anyway? Not too sure if you or anyone has tried that use case or not. - Great reviews keep up the good work. Thanks

[@JamiSing-h5z]

The world's most demanding Huawei amazed entire world 🌎🌎💘😍💞💕🥰♥️🀄

[@leo57903]

You didn't say how fast they respond to touch , some people say they don't respond promptly . What do you think ?

[@KaneNova]

Yeah I'd say they're far from perfect but it's innovation at it's greatest

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

true its sometimes lacks bass, lacks details, too narrow etc2, but still somehow better sounding as i mentioned, its the tune

[@mikesinarts]

very nice presentation Mark, thanks! can automatically switch between devices like with AirPods?

[@gantenbeinable]

On the website it says: Connect the HUAWEI FreeClip to two devices such as phones, tablets, PCs, or watches, and seamlessly switch audio between them, whether the device runs iOS, Android, or⁠ Windows.

[@dr007md]

When do you think these are going to be made available in the USA?

[@bdwdreamweaver]

wonderful review, and certainly comes up on the radar vs the previous headphone. These are on sale now and for usd200

[@aliciadefrin7570]

These look great if you wear glasses. Where in the link could not find it?

[@Gwf2ey]

I think I'm getting this one for running and cycling but staying with Sony for calls and music.

[@gantenbeinable]

open ear is good for calls. You will hear your voice better.

Mark. When will be available in North America? Thank you. And Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[@brainactivity737]

What good is all the technology if earbuds constantly fall from your ears? I will definitely order these earbuds because having stable earbuds that don't fall should be the first on the list. Besides, it also has fantastic features and looks pretty cool..

[@Tech-With-Dom]

Great review mark! Huge fan of Huawei and yea, these definitely look interesting! They seem perfect for working in the office, especially when you get many people walking up to you as part of your job. It would be interesting to see how they cope with outdoor sport like running or cycling 🤔

[@johndonabie5150]

Mark, I can't find anywhere when these great earbuds will be available for sale. I live in Toronto Canada.

[@bethamado]

I may try these. So far I have tried Bose open ear earbuds - microphone is crap, Soundcore c30i - sound and microphone is crap, and Schokz - good sound and good microphone but its over the ear hook is not comfortable. I hope HUAWEI microphone is good. Need open earbuds for heavy phone use for work.

[@homecourtrealestate]

How does the phone call quality compare to the huawei free buds pro to the huawei free clips

[@kostiskimis]

They are new type of open earphones.the sound quality is good but not for audiophiles of course.They are unique and fashioned .We can wait for some updates to offer a little better bass management

[@snorttroll4379]

Are they ok for pillow use? Or should the be slimmer?

[@sp277]

Excelent review! Thank you.-

[@tilow.672]

What about firmware Updates without a Huawei phone or without Huawei app store? Is there a native Android oder ios app?

[@davidashley4386]

Firmware updates are via the rechargeable case and the app on your phone.

[@sproid]

4th question : how's the mic quality?

[@johndonabie5150]

I'm sure you're busy over the holidays, but I thought I might ask again. When will these earbuds be available in North America? Apparently, they will be about $193.00 American. Thank you again for your time.

[@JeffJacquesmd]

Mark, just seeing this vid now, a couple of months after you posted. Have you had the chance to compare these to the Bose Ultra Open?

[@dharuacharya]

What about people who wear glasses? Does that comfort bean touch the arm of the glasses that goes behind your ear? Will they "clink" together? Vibrate? Thx

[@davidashley4386]

They are better for people who wear glasses. They don’t interfere with the frame as they clip lower on the ear. You can see this in the review.

[@christianmotos]

I don't know if I missed the part but how does it sound with phone calls? Does it have a mic for when you need to speak on a phone call?

[@3DLSH]

Best review ever 🤍🤍🤍

[@nongroupthought5076]

I have the Huawei freeclip. I do believe it is a product that is great for indoor not too noisy space. Pro Innovative Stays on great for indoor it fits anyone comfortable Long battery Life Con Too expensive sound quality is dependent on the location it drowns in planes, trains etc. when on a phone call your background noise can be heard by the person you are speaking to kudos to Huawei for the first generation, I believe this product will get better from the second generation on, they will need to make some adjustments to the speaker compartment, they might have noise cancellation when making a phone call ETC..

[@jub8891]

a japanese company called Ambie used this design many years ago before anyone else adopted it

[@LuvMyCardiKids]

I can add a fifth category for you. These are for people who can’t physically wear earbuds. I have 2 reasons why I can’t wear earbuds. First I apparently have odd shaped very small ear canals. No matter what earbuds always slip out of my ears. Secondly, I have a medical condition which, when it flares up, prevents me from inserting earbuds.

[@Sonichead]

An excellent point of reference for evaluating this product would be a comparison with the Sony LinkBuds (those with a donut shape)

[@liyah7867]

these are SO cool

[@dianebass2714]

I wonder how these would work with hearing aids. Does Huawei speak to that?

[@UlisesEsparza]

Great review

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Thanks!

[@bjay5241]

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.

[@garethjones5068]

Will be intrigued to see the price point of these

[@TitusRex]

It's 199€

[@Browz1]

£179.99 in the UK

[@OfficeGirl-gc2uq]

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.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Yep - these were tested exclusively on an iPhone.

Wow thanks! Very fast response! I've been eyeing this product for days! And very thanks for the review! Keep it up! More support to your vlog! cheers! @@MarkEllisReviews

AirPods Pro vs Huawei freeclip? Whats better?

[@Astax1]

I would say airpods pro has a better sound quality and noise cancellation. Would go for Huawei clip right now but would look into it in the future as I think it's a good innovation

[@johndonabie5150]

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. You're a lucky man.

When reviewing ear buds please try some real world tests. Go outside and speak and record the mic. That’s what lots of KZbinrs do rather than just telling us what it’s like.

[@connermini9390]

However, you should know that the playback effect of different mobile phones is different, so even if it is recorded, it is still not as good as your own experience, so it is best to go to the store to experience it before buying it, if there is a chance 😂
