I really prefer open-earbuds to in-earbuds, cuz after I got some foam tips for better comfort - my ears still get "swamp ear" and get irritated after long use. So I bought Bose Ultra open buds and Shokz open fit buds. Usually I say they are good for what it’s worth. In this case, for what I paid for them, they are not worth it. I finally decided to see if there was a better alternative and stumbled upon these Baseus Bowie MC1 clip earbuds, which seemed like they could be the answer.❤🧡💛💚💙💜Pro’s:The fit is excellent, the sound is excellent, the ear clip/cuff design is different and good, the fit is pretty secure and won’t fall off, comfortable. When running I hardly noticed I had them on my ears. The sound was good when I was running.The Shokz are really good and probably rank them as one of the best hook buds in the market. For me and my ears, the Baseus is an excellent buy. These are light and fitment is excellent, the sound is superb, the call quality I give to Shokz, the update happened to both and somehow the call quality on the Baseus really improved. I still prefer the physical button over the touch sensitive approach that Shokz went with. I still like the Baseus ear clip design vs the earhook. So which do I prefer. Running and exercising-Baseus without a doubt.Bose Ultra is too expensive, can’t adjust to being closer to ear canal, left me wanting and expecting more from the ear cuff buds. They seem limited when turning them up to 7 or 8 on the flat setting. Should be priced around the Soundcore and Shokz open fit buds price, maybe even pricing them lower like $125-$150 on the high end. For $300 they should have wireless charging, multi point connectivity. Most of all a larger and louder volume level. I’m returning them. My Baseus Bowie MC1 do a better job and lasts my whole 10 hour workday without needing to be charged. These are a great option for an open-ear design at this price point, the sound is very full and balanced, impressive bass and volume without becoming distorted, I rarely feel the need to turn them up too much even when in a noisy area.❤🧡💛💚💙💜What I liked:❤1) Very comfortable, light weight, you will not even know that you are wearing it🧡2) Easy to put on and remove and just one clicker on the back of the ear on each earbud to control settings like volume, play next or previous track, take a call or end it or cycle through the modes (default list of modes can be assigned to each earbud so that you can cycle through the shortcuts you use the most).💛3) Pushing it downwards inside the ear gives a higher bass and louder sound. My ears are small so this could be different for different ear sizes. The sound quality is premium and you can move it a bit to find the right spot for best sound.💚4) Call quality is good. I did not face any issues during the call while I was walking outside💙6) You can hear the surroundings while outside, although some level of noise is reduced so that you enjoy the music.💜7) Baseus app enables you to: pair the device with your phone, calibrating the earbuds so that you get good sound quality, selecting the equalizer (bass, mid-range, treble) is available.❤8) The charging case is small and pocketable with good battery life. Up to 9-10 hours of play time and up to an extra 31 hours of battery life in the charging case.

Honestly I would give these three stars but I think part of my problem with these is user error. I can’t figure out how to make these fit. I’ve tried a few positions and just keep going back to wearing them like in the pic, but the instructions say this is wrong. Honestly this is a comfortable fit but the sound quality isn’t great (just somewhat low volume and obviously no way of blocking out outside sound). Sound quality is great if I position it right over the ear canal but no way to make them actually stay there. Maybe I have weird ears or I just don’t know what I’m doing but as is it’s a 3 if I figure out a way to position them properly 5 so we’ll split the difference

I’ve been in the market for an open ear earbud that I could use at work and for running, since I need to be aware of my surroundings. These fit the bill on paper with multipoint connectivity, solid battery life and water resistance.On hand, they’ve met every expectation I had and then some. They’re comfortable enough to wear for hours on end and are super stable even on when running. Since they're open-ear, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of sound quality, but they turned out to be better than expected. The bass isn’t as strong as in-ear earbuds, but it’s good enough, and the overall volume is loud and clear.For the price, I think these are a great option compared to other alternatives

Honestly amazing.I had bought the shokz headset from Costco a few months ago so I could use them at work while still being able to hear exterior sounds or people. Unfortunately they fell out of my pocket, 90$ down the drain. The main issue with that style is my head is pretty small. I would also try and hide it but it was always kinds of obvious that I had it on since the band on the back. I also ware glasses and they would vibrate terribly or shift around while I ran. It also sounded terrible if you turned the volume up all the way. And the music didn't sound that great. I usually had podcast in so I didn't mind.Onto this review. It came fast, already charged. I connected and put them onto my ear.I'm unsure if I fully trust them to stay on so I'll probably add some sort of string incase they fall off.Let me tell you the base on this is WAY BETTER than the shokz. It fits comfortably on the ear. The music quality is insane for the bone conduction concept.The shinny part almost makes it seem like an jewelry accessory and less conspicuous compared to an in ear earbud.Really unfortunate I had to loose the last set of bone conduction ones. But had I not, I wouldn't have found this ear Design concept.

After searching for the last decade or two to find earbuds that work for me, I’ve finally found them.Earbuds have always fit my left ear fine, but always fell out of my right ear. Tried different brands. Tried different size tips. Tried memory foam tips. Absolutely NOTHING worked.These fit amazingly well. They’re comfortable and sound great. Battery life for the earbuds + charger looks to be right around 40 hours. And the Baseus app does a nice job changing equalization curves.Seriously, if you’ve never had earbuds fit, get these.

I have purchased many earbuds and until now never found what I was looking for. This has to be the best earbud at this price point ever made hands down! It will not fall out of your ear and has good sound quality, good sound balance & bass tone. You forget you're even wearing them. These definitely have the wow factor!!
