When open earbuds first started emerging onto the scene, Huawei threw a wild curveball with its 2023 FreeClip design that clips around the ear. The bulbous, shiny, Jeff Koons-esque design may not have been to everyone’s tastes, but they were surprisingly light and comfortable – it’s just a shame their sound quality wasn’t up to scratch.
Two years later, Huawei has launched a sequel in the FreeClip 2, and aims to address those sound quality issues by wholly updating the acoustic technology. Along the way, the brand has also refined the design, added new features and kept the price the same as before at £180 in the UK (these aren't officially for sale in the US).
