- Bowie MC1 Pro Open Ear Clip-On Headphones, Hi-Res LDAC & HiFi4 Acoustic Sound, 5g Ultra-Lightweight Comfort, SuperBass 2.0, DNN 4-Mic AI Clear Calls, IP67 Waterproof, Bluetooth 6.0

I brought these open ear earbuds because I was looking for some inexpensive earbuds just for running. I mainly wanted earbuds that had decent audio quality, physical buttons, a good IP rating and would not fall off while running or working out. I currently own apple airpods which I have been using to run but I hate them because they either fall out or I have to keep pushing them in my ear while running. There are many options for running headphones. I looked at all the big name brands like Bose, Sony, Shokz, etc as well as open ear, in ear and bone conduction. Price First, I could not justify spending over $200 for headphones that I would only wear when I run. I got these for less than $50 with a coupon. I felt this was a great price point. I also understand at this price point I would sacrifice certain audio quality which was fine for me because when I run outside I need to also be able to hear my surroundings and not how good my music sounds. When I’m not running and want better audio quality then I could always switch back to my AirPods or my Sony over the ear headphones. Fit/Design When looking at all my options I didn’t want anything going around the back of my head. I also didn’t want anything in-ear like my AirPods. So I decided to go for an open ear clip on design. This design was important because I mainly run outside and need to hear my surroundings. I almost went with the bone conduction style but I felt like I heard too much of my surroundings and not my music. I felt like these open ear were a good compromise. The Baseus earphones are really comfortable. Once they are on they feel very secure. After wearing them for 2 hrs while running they don’t hurt. They are also not too heavy for me. Connectivity These earbuds have Bluetooth 6.0 technology. So far I have not had any issues with these connecting to my iPhone 14. I also haven’t had any issues with them connecting to my Garmin Fenix 7 watch. I’ve worn these while running with my phone as well as only having my audio go through my Garmin watch. No issues. Physical buttons I wanted some earbuds with physical buttons because sometimes when I’m running I’ve found that touch buttons can be hit or miss. So I liked the Baseus earbuds because they have a physical buttons that I can customize. IP rating These are rated IP67. Which means I don’t have to worry any dust or heavy sweat messing these up. I sweat a ton when I run so having a good IP rating was important. Battery The manual says these offer 9 hrs of playtime and a total of 40 hrs with the case. I’ve worn these for two weeks running 4 days a week for a minimum of 1.5 hr per run and I have not had to charge the case yet. So far so good. Overall, these are some very comfortable open ear headphones for runners who want to hear their surroundings, have pretty decent audio quality and not break the bank!

These earbuds are super comfortable and feel almost weightless. I love the open-ear design — I can still hear what’s happening around me while getting clear, punchy sound. The bass is surprisingly good for this style, and the calls sound very clear. Battery life is solid and they’re great for workouts. Definitely worth it!

These are my first pair of open ear type headphones so I don't have experience to reference. First, as another person mentioned, the font size in the manual is so small!!! I had to use a magnifying glass. But I also found it online so that was very helpful. Next, I have had a few times where they didn't connect but that was easily resolved by going into the phone and manually connecting. I had once where I could hear the music fine but the control buttons on the earphones wouldn't do anything. Had to disconnect, put the earphones back in the case and start over. That did it. I'm not an audiophile but to me these sound good in a quiet room. Certainly, real audiophiles wouldn't choose this type of headphone anyway. The app can help personalize them but I only used it a couple of times. Just using as is seems to be good enough. More important than sound quality is the volume because if you can't hear them, then it doesn't matter if the sound quality is good or not. When I'm in a louder environment like walking down the street with traffic, max volume isn't enough when worn as usual. In those cases I will move one or both lower so that it/they are firing straight into my ear(s). Even then they are not always loud enough but probably fix the issue 95% of the time when I lower the earphones. Unfortunately, that eliminates the purpose of open ear type of earphones. No way to hear what's going on around me if I have to use max volume and lower the earphones. Perhaps that's the same with all of this style of product. I will note that these are so extremely comfortable. I often forget that I have them on. So much that sometimes when I have removed them, I forget and reach up to my ears to take them off. Maybe my ears are the perfect size? I know some others have complained but I couldn't ask for any better fit. Phone call quality: I am very satisfied with the clarity of phone calls, both in me hearing the other person and that person hearing me. So far, couldn't ask for more. Finally, the battery life. I haven't ever worn them long enough to go from a full charge to empty in one use. I always put them back into the charging case before that point. But I have used then and had them go dead. I was surprised that the fully charged case (which I assume has also charged the earphones while on the charger) does not last longer. For this style I assume the case shape allows for a larger battery than my old earphones and the ear pieces themselves should have a larger battery than those other earphones. So, overall these should provide longer usage life than my others which are maybe 8 years old so the batteries should not be in tip top shape. Therefore, I'm disappointed. I'm wondering if they will last an entire trip where say I have them on for maybe 8 hours. I really want to give these a 3.5 but 4 is more appropriate than 3.

Excelente aquisição! Ideal para quem faz atividade ao ar livre, bastante resistente a suor (transpiro bastante) e firme encaixe na orelha. A qualidade do som é muito boa para fones de ouvido abertos, com percepção de graves equilibrados para o meu gosto. Excelente duração da bateria para o meu tipo de uso e o carregamento é muito rápido. Muito satisfeita com a compra.
