Huawei FreeClip

The Huawei FreeClip can be worn on either the left or right ear, which makes no practical difference, as the side is automatically recognised and the stereo channel adjusted accordingly.

These Bluetooth headphones have a large, touch-sensitive area for device control, which extends from the “bean” over the connecting “C-bridge” to the “sphere”. This means you can freely select which sub-area is to be used for double and triple tapping. Playback control, skipping to the next track and making phone calls are provided in the factory settings, and this can be supplemented by using the voice assistant. Skipping back through tracks can be done via the AI Life app (see below).

However, this is the extent of the options offered by the touch control, meaning that there is no volume control. There is also no option to switch the headphones on and off manually. However, you can use the wearer detection function, which reacted reliably but with a slight delay when you took them off; this can be switched on or off as required. It is also possible to use them one-sided in single mode.
