Huawei Freeclip: Open-ear earphones that clip on

The Freeclip is an exciting alternative to open-ear headphones with a headband.

The Huawei Freeclip is eye-catching in two ways: its elegant, shiny surface and the unusual way they are worn. Unlike conventional open-ear headphones, which either sit in the ear canal or are attached with a headband, they are held directly to the ear with a clip. They work amazingly well. The Freeclip’s secure and comfortable fit is impressive, but since everyone’s ears are different, how they fit will vary from person to person. I found that the Freeclips fit like ear jewelry and are also comfortable while wearing glasses.

While each Freeclip earbud looks identical, it doesn’t matter which ear you put them on. The Freeclip can automatically recognize which ear it's in and adjust the audio appropriately. This is a useful feature and solves one of the most annoying problems with TWS headphones.
