Huawei had a busy day of announcements, with most attention on the new foldable Mate X7. However, one of the standout accessories introduced was the FreeClip 2 earbuds, which offer an appealing combination of design, durability, and pricing that could attract many buyers.
FreeClip 2 Colors and Design
- Blue
- White
- Black
- Rose Gold
The FreeClip 2 earbuds come in four elegant color options to suit different tastes. Their unique design stands out while remaining stylish and modern.
Durability and Water Resistance
One of the key features of the FreeClip 2 is its IP57 rating, ensuring limited dust protection and the ability to withstand submersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes. This rating matches the level of other premium earbuds like the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and AirPods Pro 3, offering reassurance against sweat, rain, and minor accidents.
However, it's important to remember that these certifications are based on controlled lab environments and should not be used as an excuse to swim or expose the earbuds to water intentionally.
The overall aesthetic of these earbuds is sleek and fashionable, pairing well with the durability features.
Pricing and Market Position
The FreeClip 2 earbuds retail at £179.99 (approximately $240), placing them in a competitive spot between Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which costs around £149.00 in the UK.
While the price is on the premium side, some users may find Huawei’s offering justifies the cost given its features and build quality.
