HUAWEI, a world-renowned mobile communications brand, has stopped launching new mobile phone products in Taiwan due to “well-known” reasons. However, its tablets, smart wearables, headphones and other devices have not stopped working hard. Among them, HUAWEI’s “headphones” may not be well known by many people in Taiwan. In fact, its headphones are quite unique in terms of sound quality, design and other aspects. Today I’m going to give you a brief look at HUAWEI’s “HUAWEI FreeClip 2″ is a headset with a rather unique shape.
The ear canal is finally free! HUAWEI FreeClip 2 pleasant to listen to
The design of the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 charging compartment is similar to that of common earbuds. However, the appearance adopts a fashionable denim texture design. It is said to be made with micron-level technology and has certain anti-fouling capabilities. In front of it is an LED light that displays the status:
It adopts a flip-up design like ordinary earphones, but when you open it, you can see that the earphone body is quite different from traditional in-ear earphones. It adopts an overlapping storage design. When you first put it back, you need to study it:
The weight of the charging compartment plus headphones is 48.2 grams:
The headphone body adopts a C-shaped open headphone design that is not very common at present. The “Cloud-Sense C-shaped Bridge” in the middle is made of liquid silicone skin-friendly material and memory metal. One of the biggest features of this headset is that it automatically distinguishes the left and right ears, so it doesn’t matter which side you put it on after taking it out:
The headset part is composed of “comfort beans” (battery, charging induction area, ear clip area, gesture control area) and “listening balls” (dual diaphragm unit open earphones). The earphones themselves have IP57 waterproof function, so there is no problem in sweating or light rain. The earphones have a battery life of up to 9 hours, and 38 hours with the charging box:
The method of use is also very special. It is used to clamp the ear directly. The sound-emitting unit of the listening ball is facing the ear canal. In actual use, it will not loosen due to exercise and running. The advantage of such an open design is that it will not affect your ability to receive ambient sounds during use, making it safer. When someone is talking to you next to you, it is less likely to cause unclear hearing than in-ear earplugs. The disadvantage is that under normal circumstances, external amplifier performance will not be as good as earplugs or over-ear headphones:
When using HUAWEI FreeClip 2, you can use your finger to slide on the Comfort Bean to adjust the volume, click to control playback, pause, answer/hang up calls, head control and other functions. It is very practical, and it has the advantages of dual-device connection and cross-system use. It is very convenient for dual-gunners like me. I don’t have to reconnect every time I change my phone:
Finally, let’s talk about the listening part. Although HUAWEI FreeClip 2 adopts an open listening design and does not have a noise reduction function, its 10.8mm dual-diaphragm unit is still quite powerful when driven. The effect of playing music is more powerful than expected, and the listening experience is comparable to that of in-ear headphones. The sense of hearing of bass is lost to in-ear headphones due to innate conditions, and even if the bass effect can be enhanced in the APP, it is still lost to in-ear headphones. However, Huawei relies on its extremely strong adjustment and 10.8mm dual-diaphragm unit. At the same volume, its volume performance is completely different from that of earphones, and there is no sound leakage. Moreover, this kind of non-in-ear headphones is less likely to cause discomfort when worn for a long time, and it will not be uncomfortable when worn for a long time in the ear canal. In addition, the resolution of the sound quality is pretty good, and I would recommend it for listening to pop music. The above is simply shared for your reference.
