Overview
- Huawei releases the FreeClip 2 open-ear clip-on earbuds with a case that is 17% smaller and buds that are 11% smaller at 5.1 g each.
- A reworked internal design, including stacked speakers, targets stronger bass despite the reduced housing size.
- Touch controls expand to include double-tap for play or pause, triple-tap to skip tracks, and a rear pod touch panel for sliding volume control.
- The earbuds carry an IP57 water and dust rating and claim about nine hours of playback per charge with roughly 38 hours total using the case.
- Forbes reviewer Ben Sin rates the FreeClip 2 as the best open-ear option so far, while noting less immersion and softer highs than in-ear buds and that conclusions reflect a single review and manufacturer specifications.
