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. 😊👍
Some people in the comments section overlooked the fact that this earphone is very friendly to someone who's prone to ear infections, such as myself, definitely would buy one when it's on sale. 😂
Meeee! I try to avoid using my earbuds since getting my second ear infection. I bought a headphone but to be honest, not a big headphone user. Will probably buy this!
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.
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......
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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 😄
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?
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
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.
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.
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..
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 🤔
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.
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.
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
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
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
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..
lol I dont fall in any of the cathegories, the reason why I want these is that I cannot use anything inside my ears, they sweal and give me headaches, I can use headphones but when it gets too hot I will need these
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.
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
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.
I'm all over companies making an effort to give punters more choices for open ear headphones rather than Shokz having the entire market to themselves. Massive market for these especially us runners. These look like they might bounce on your ears though? Do they?
When reviewing ear buds please try some real world tests. Go outside and speak and record the mic. That’s what lots of RUclipsrs do rather than just telling us what it’s like.
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 😂
@@connermini9390 just record it on an iPhone and on an android . But it’s more about noise cancellation when in the street. Plenty of reviews out there that show voice quality in different situations.
That's logical. It's what we all do to come up with a conclusion that people can trust, but are you going to pay him? Until you pay, just take whatever.
If they only doidnt look so feminine. Would it help if the bendy part was a metal puece, the thing in the ear was flat on the outward facing part and perhaps smaller and the rear piece was flatter for lie down performance
I'm getting seriously impressed with innovations from these Chinese technology companies. It is clear they're not just cheap clones of Apple and Samsung products anymore. Actually I'm seeing more innovation from them at the moment and Western companies are producing stale uninspired products.
I like the design of these, but I think they are overpriced. Think I will wait until gen 2 version comes out and buy these gen 1 for a much cheaper price.
Literally missed the entire narrative behind this video 😆 These aren't made for people who buy earbuds mainly for the sound quality. As explained. Multiple times. If you want that, you need in-ears.
Market exists. I’m at home all the time, working from home, I like listening YT etc. but I don’t want to interupt family with my listening, and I want to hear when somebody talks to me, so I prefere AirPod over AirPods Pro, and these looks even better in trems of comfort. And I don’t even listen the music at all
This has perfect application, for sports like running, cycling or gym coz you can hear people and specially traffic. I’m getting the impression that you don’t do exercise that much? Coz doing redundant things is soul sucking that’s why some people prefer to add some level but it’s still better on having someone
pretty cool! could you make some tests showing the hearing quiality when calling? can people really hear you? does ot have noise filtering for the person on the pther side of the call?
Hands-up if you use open-ear earbuds! And, if you do, what's the main use case?
Shokz for running
haha never used any before, but considered using the watch for all the functions, then headphones, and finally this lol
I do. I use ambie. They are great. I’ve had them for about a year.
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
they really good ones
Ordered them today. Earbuds never stay in my ear, this is perfect for me.
How do they sound to you? Are they any good?
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. 😊👍

You are right!!! My ears have the same problem.
@@alrol I mainly listen to loudspeaker system these days due to ear infections, this kind of earphone really gives me another choice!
Get a Sony ambie, probably much better quality

The best
p30 pro is the datum line of high end phones
They are perfect for phone calls and sport!
I'll buy them as soon as they come out for sale
Huawei has a unique way of understanding and presenting what truly resonates with my interests and preferences.
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,

You got yourself a new subscriber because you review Huawei products. Im a big fan 😊
Welcome onboard!
How does the phone call quality compare to the huawei free buds pro to the huawei free clips
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?

I just came from your tiktok, I appreciate how calm your voice sounds, great video!
Thanks! And welcome onboard!
@@MarkEllisReviews yes, your voice and pronounciation is so smooth a cool!
These look great if you wear glasses. Where in the link could not find it?
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
very nice presentation Mark, thanks! can automatically switch between devices like with AirPods?

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

wonderful review, and certainly comes up on the radar vs the previous headphone. These are on sale now and for usd200
What about firmware Updates without a Huawei phone or without Huawei app store? Is there a native Android oder ios app?
Firmware updates are via the rechargeable case and the app on your phone.
I wonder how these would work with hearing aids. Does Huawei speak to that?
Thank you for your review! Very helpful. Can they be paired with Apple Watch?
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.
I think I'm getting this one for running and cycling but staying with Sony for calls and music.
open ear is good for calls. You will hear your voice better.
When do you think these are going to be made available in the USA?
How do you enjoy stereo music if there is no R or L?
Thanks for your great review. 🤗👍
That's lovely - thank you!
The world's most demanding Huawei amazed entire world 🌎🌎💘😍💞💕🥰♥️🀄

AirPods Pro vs Huawei freeclip? Whats better?
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
depends theyre at same level, ambient pro home theater, premier hifi store sound, true really tough choice even worth owning both
Mark, I can't find anywhere when these great earbuds will be available for sale. I live in Toronto Canada.
Are they ok for pillow use? Or should the be slimmer?
Looking at this review i have ordered mine now
Yeah I'd say they're far from perfect but it's innovation at it's greatest
true its sometimes lacks bass, lacks details, too narrow etc2, but still somehow better sounding
as i mentioned, its the tune
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
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.
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?
Has anyone ever notice that when you drive up the volume around past 80% the bass cuts out to keep from distortion? 🤨
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?
An excellent point of reference for evaluating this product would be a comparison with the Sony LinkBuds (those with a donut shape)
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..

What if they pair the next model of these with some bone conduction technology for crazy audio?🎃
They look like my ears i have had back in the day . Awesome video lol 😂
Will be intrigued to see the price point of these
It's 199€
£179.99 in the UK
With a free Huawei band 8...
got here researching the new Bose open earbuds. any comparison?
Hauwei has wireless charging, better call quality, skin sensors, dust resistance and multipoint connection. Bose has slightly better bass, EQ, volume control, immersive audio, better controls.
@@VividTheater nice!
Do they wiggle while running?
Where can i buy it.
The outer part of your ear, the cartilage, skin, and all, is called the "pinna".
I'm all over companies making an effort to give punters more choices for open ear headphones rather than Shokz having the entire market to themselves. Massive market for these especially us runners. These look like they might bounce on your ears though? Do they?

I think Angela Merkel won't agree, she fear Iphone 😅
how about beat for music😊
Guessing no noise cancellation?
It’s the opposite - which is the premise behind open-ear earbuds.
Interesting form factor. Obvious question: Can you sleep on them?

I hate Huawei products. My Huawei p40 pro is still working so well that I can't find an excuse to change to another new phone... 😢
The questions should start with how do they sound. My opinion.
Not when it isn’t the main feature.
Huawei has a whole arsenal (Freebuds pro) for best sound quality. Buy that if you want their best
Ye - try to lay down with these...... on a side
Does it clamp your ear when you put it on? Looks like it is slightly crushing your ear
Ridiculous.
Youre yapping too much for 11 mins you didnt do anything but talk let us hear the thing or do some tests but no you want to yap
you do know you can skip to the parts YOU want to see right?
This video is trying so hard to justify the "compromised sound", the most important thing to most people who buy earbuds. Fail.
Literally missed the entire narrative behind this video 😆 These aren't made for people who buy earbuds mainly for the sound quality. As explained. Multiple times. If you want that, you need in-ears.

This has perfect application, for sports like running, cycling or gym coz you can hear people and specially traffic. I’m getting the impression that you don’t do exercise that much? Coz doing redundant things is soul sucking that’s why some people prefer to add some level but it’s still better on having someone
The sound quality is trash. DONT BUY IT
Better than airpods.

Best review ever 🤍🤍🤍
pretty cool! could you make some tests showing the hearing quiality when calling? can people really hear you? does ot have noise filtering for the person on the pther side of the call?
