I've been testing this new open-earbud upgrade from EarFun — and they're an instant win for gym goers
The EarFun Clip 2 open-earbuds offer a budget-friendly option for gym users seeking comfort and ambient awareness. They feature a 40-hour battery life, reliable call quality, and an AI-powered real-time translation function. However, they exhibit poor bass performance and lack wear detection, which may affect user experience.
- ▪The EarFun Clip 2 are priced at $99 / £89 and are available on Amazon.
- ▪They deliver 40 hours of battery life, surpassing more expensive models like the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
- ▪These earbuds use a clip-style design that fits around the ear's cartilage for secure and comfortable wear.
- ▪They support Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint connectivity, and have an IP55 rating for durability.
- ▪The earbuds include AI real-time translation but lack wear detection and have a basic companion app.
