For sub-$100/£100 earbuds, they offer awesome performance. They’re a little cheaper than my firm favorites, the Soundcore Aeroclips, which cost $129, but if you want some more color choices than just black, then I’d recommend springing for the Aeroclips.The previous model of these earbuds, the EarFun Clips, cost $69. If you’d rather save $30, and/or you’re not sure whether open-earbuds are your thing, then I would recommend going for the original model. The original Clips also have a much better bass performance, although you don’t get the new sleek look or the AI-powered translation.The Earfun Clip 2 open-earbuds have very impressive battery life at 40 hours, and blow big-name brands like Bose out of the water. The $299 Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, for instance, only have 27 hours of battery life.EarFun Clip 2 review: DesignLack of wear detectionOnly one color choiceSlight movement during HIIT (Image credit: Tom's Guide)The EarFun Clip 2 are open-earbuds that clip around the cartilage of your ear.
