Baseus Bowie 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.

I've been wearing a pair of Apple AirPods for years. Last year, I started hearing some ringing sound even when I'm not wearing them! That's when I decided to drop them like a bad habit and replace them with open-ear headphones. After shopping around for a bit, it was between the Baseus Bowie MC1 and the Anker Soundcore C30i. The Baseus MC1 won me over because it has button controls! Here are my first impressions:Pros 👍👍👍- Fit and Feel: They clip on and stay on! When you finally take them, there's no pressure or discomfort!- Design: Looks are subjective but Baseus have done a good job making this pair look decent.- Quality is when a product meets or exceeds your expectations. Those did for me!- Connectivity: Solid and reliable! And unlike my expensive AirPods, the MC1 actually supports multipoint connection!- Ease of Use: When you first take them out, they are already in pairing mode. If you want to pair a second device, press the button at the bottom of the carry case. It was intuitive and uneventful, exactly how I like it!- Durability: TBD. I've only had mine for a few days.- Value: I bought mine for $50 on sale. I am really happy with what I got for my money.- Sound Quality: I listen primarily to audiobooks, some podcast and lyric-free soundtracks to clear my head. At 50% volume, my listening experience is really good. If my environment is busy or windy, I crank up the music to 75% and that drowns out the background. Everyone's ears are different but I really enjoy the open, pressure-free hearing experience.Cons 👎👎👎- I personally don't have anything to complain about at this point. The pair lacks the heft or quality feel in the hand, but then again, I spent $50 for it, so, yeah, I got my money's worth and then some!- You could download a companion app to fine-tune your listening experience, but I don't care for that.The Bottom Line 🧐We are constantly making trade-offs. This set of earbuds by Baseus delivers what it promises: an open, pressure-free, and hassle-free listening experience. They sound loud and clear (to me, anyways) and offer great value for their price point. I am happy with my purchase, and I have no problem recommending them to others. If anything changes, I will update my review to let you know.I hope my short review has helped make a more informed buying decision 👍😊✌️

Very satisfied. Good price with the $20 coupon. Good sound (not "tinny"), easy pairing. Needed a solution for (a) comfort at a decent listening volume while watching TV late night in bed without disturbing my neighbor. (b) Comfort even if falling asleep while wearing (c) ability to wear at work/while driving, shopping or cleaning and still be able to hear sounds/conversation around me (d) comfort for long periods of time.These open ear buds are the perfect fit for all those needs. Repurchase? You bet...already ordered a second pair while on a fantastic sale.
