Today, Huawei announced the FreeClip - a truly wireless earbud with a unique open-ear design for all-day comfortable wearing. The FreeClip is part of Huawei's wearable Fashion Forward proposition and are the answer to what Huawei says is a growing demographic of listeners who want in-ear wireless headphones that allow them to stay attuned to their surroundings.
The clip design features three parts - the
Comfort Bean, the Acoustic Ball, and the C-bridge Design. The Comfort Bean uses
an ergonomic bean shape that molds itself along the curvatures of the human
ear. The Acoustic Ball is based on the shapes of real cavum concha models to
achieve the optimal size to not cause discomfort. The C-bridge design has 9
core wires in its thin cantilever arm to provide connectivity between the other
two parts.
Additionally, Huawei says the FreeClip is
the industry's first open-ear bud that doesn't distinguish between left and
right ears. Specs-wise, the FreeClip can go up to 32 hours and charge fully
back in 40 minutes - 10 minutes nets you up to 3 hours of listening. The buds
(not the case) are IP54 splash-proof.
The FreeClip is coming to the UK and Europe
in late December, priced £ 180 and € 200, respectively. UK buyers will get a free
Huawei Band 8 if they order between today and January 29.
