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 use these all the time. The open ear design means I can hear my surroundings and the audio coming from the earbuds perfectly. I am an equestrian and use these with my coach so I can hear her better in crowded environments like at shows or windy days. They stay on great and never had them slip or move while I was riding or running. I recently lost the case at the airport and e-mailed the company to see if I could just buy the case since I still had the earbuds. They were kind enough to send me a new set! Not only are these earbuds fantastic quality and a great price but the customer service is top notch and quick to respond.

I have been a bone conduction headphone user for years. I recently learned about air conduction and started to do my research. I then discovered clip ons which I could absolutely get on board with because everything bugs my ears because I also wear glasses. I took a chance on these after reading as many reviews as I could and comparing with other brands. I just got them today so these are still very new but I am already so impressed. These do not feel cheap. Nothing screams poor quality. They are flexible so if you have tried other clips that aren’t adjustable and found them uncomfortable, grab these. They flex and still stay in place. They fit wonderfully on my ears They have a button on both clips to answer call, skip songs, pause, etc. They are responsive and connected to my iPhone with no issue. The app that works with these is a nice little add with different sound modes They came right out of the box 100% charged The sound blew me away. I couldn’t believe how good they sounded for something that isn’t an in earbud. They have decent bass and I really loved how loud they were without having to raise the volume all the way up. Update 8/22/25: Still going strong but I took one star off. They are not good for phone calls. Noise cancellation is non existent and they won’t stay connected during calls. Great for music/listening, not so much for phone calls.

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 👍😊✌️

I have tried so many earbuds, but they always fall out of my ears. I bought some other cheaper out of ear headphones, but they were garbage. These are fantastic! They stay on, I hear great through them, they hold a charge a really long time (probably about 8 hours of straight use) and the case holds a charge for about a week. They are lightweight and comfortable. A little bit of trouble with phone calls sometimes, but other times it’s fine, so it could be another issue. I love them so much!!!

First of all, I really love this open ear earbuds. They are very comfortable, loose but still secure. Sound is good enough, including some level of bass. Build quality is good too. Overall I really like them and plan to keep them. HOWEVER, after a week of use, I realize the ear buds mic will stop working either when I walk away from my laptop like going to bathroom or kitchen. It seems the disconnection is random to me. I am not sure it's because of distance or period of not streaming. But the worst is the mic will not work properly even the earbuds reconnect with my laptop. I HAVE to unpair and repair the earbuds with my laptop. As I use this earbuds for work from home meetings, this random disconnection / malfunction of mic is such a pain that finally I decided to return the earbuds. It is such a shame. I did see one another user commented the same issue but I thought that was random. But in my case, it happens pretty much everyday.... so if you want to use this earbuds for meetings, be careful. Otherwise this earbuds is almost perfect for me.

I've been using these for 6 months and they haven't disappointed. Even though they have left and right I have used them in the opposite ears with no difference in sound quality. I did this because otherwise my glasses interfere with the button. I do like having the physical button to push and the app to assign what the button does is helpful especially when using in the opposite ears. I have also ran 10 miles with them and they didn't come loose. And it's nice to be able to hear my surroundings. They are comfortable, I can wear them for hours without pain, whereas I couldn't do that with others styles.

So, I had been curious about these "clip" on the ear earbuds for a while and decided to give these a shot. I am so incredibly happy that I did. I've done a variety of open-ear headphones in the past (shokz bone conduction, open air fits, neck band speakers, etc...) but these are easily my favorites. Here's why... 1. Seemless multipoint bluetooth!!!!! I tend to use my bluetooth headphones for my phone, a desktop computer, and a laptop. I've used like 5 different bluetooth headphones in the past, and all of them have problems, especially when I start switching between more than two devices (and frankly some had trouble with JUST two at times). I had just assumed it was a limitation of bluetooth I had to live with. WRONG. These headphones switch between my three devices so effortlessly that I could cry. I don't know if this is an issue for many people, but if it is, these things are incredible for that alone. 2. Comfort Look, most open-ear headphones are pretty comfortable. But with these clip-on ones, I was concerned. Well, they are so comfortable I darn near forget I'm wearing them. So much better than I thought they would be. 3. Sound quality So, I know sound quality is typically on the low end for open-ear headphones, and I was definitely concerned with these being only $50. Well, I'm here to say that I think they sound better than just about any other open ear headphone I've used. They aren't going to compare to some expensive, high quality headphones (I'm sure audiophile will have complaints) but I've been really impressed, especially given the price point. 4. Battery Life What can I say, it's good! I use my headphones A LOT, and I've yet to have these die on me. Overall, I can't recommend these enough. For the price, I genuinely don't think you can beat these.
