BaseusBowie MC1 Open Ear Clip-On Earbuds, Adaptive Comfort with Anti-Drop Design, Impactful Sound with Adaptive Bass Boost, Adaptive Noise Cancelling Calls, IP57 Waterproof, 40H Playtime, Lightweight

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.

The media could not be loaded. After a decade of adjusting ear buds and over-ear headphones that would slip off, these 100% stayed in and on my ears for my 5k run yesterday. They are very lightweight as others have mentioned and fit fantastically. There is a bit of a trade off in sound, not a lot mind you, but you're gaining so much more in headphones that just plain stay put the entire time and you never have to do the dreaded "push them back in every 20 seconds" thing with in ear earbuds.Like a lot of you finding these Baesus earphones I have weird mismatched ear canals. My left is a small, my right is a medium but it did not matter if I got foam, silicone, sticky silicone, grabby silicone, over ear silicone hooks for my earbuds, I was constantly adjusting them. Any given run or workout you'd see me pushing them back in all the time and that's what brought me here, I was DONE. This is honestly the first time in forever I have had headphones without being behind the back, or over the ear, or without being corded, just stay in place the entire time.The Tradeoff: You will hear the note for a sub 80hz bass, drum, low synth but it will not be sustained nor punched. However, for ease of use on your ears and just working when you need them, the sound quality is decent. These are open ears and, yeah, almost all of them built like this will lose some low end. I've been using and collecting hi-fi audiophile gear for a while now and I do have my airplane and "just in my office" really nice over-ear headphones that recreate every detail and will take me down to 20hz. With these headphones its a pretty noticeable miss in the bass. In the Baesus normal mode and EQ* setup, which is pretty good, they recreate the note of the thump of a kick drum, but that's about it, the punch is fairly minimal, however, it doesn't take away the fairly decent sound quality coming out.Really glad I found these!*Do NOT recommend the app settings for EQ or custom EQ, it removes the soundness level by a good 4-5db. Rather odd it affects the mW output THAT much.

First the bad:These hurt my ears in minutes.The context: I bought these alongside the Soundcore C30i's, as they were both on sale and are marketed to solve the same problem.I really like the design of the Soundcore's, but more importantly, despite being a little more "rigid," they fit well and cause no pain. The trade off is that their sound quality isn't as good.The pros:Well, I just mentioned sound quality. It's fairly good for an open ear headphone. More bass and they're relatively clear while never requiring full volume to be heard in any reasonable environment.I do really like the tactile button on these too as there's no ambiguity surrounding button presses and their associated actions.Lastly, their battery life has been solid.The reason I'm giving this a 4 star rating is that, despite returning them, I think for the right ear profile, these are a home run at this price point. For me? They're simply too painful and I can't turn to them as a reliable solution. I can appreciate the product for the ideal customer though, which is why I am giving this a 4, not a 5, star rating.

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
