EarFun Clip 2 review

Summary

The EarFun Clip 2 offers improved design and audio quality over its predecessor. It features a comfortable, open-ear design with good soundstage and natural timbre. Microphone performance is strong, especially in noisy environments, though battery life falls slightly short of claims. The earbuds are recommended for those seeking this form factor.

Key Takeaways

1. The EarFun Clip 2 are a super impressive pair of earbuds, comfortable, sound great, have decent quality mics with excellent background noise reduction, and offer good battery life.
2. The tuning on the Clip 2 has been vastly improved. Gone is the boxy, upper-bass and mid-focused sound of the Clip. The Clip 2 has a much more fleshed-out frequency response, with good upper-mid and treble extension.
3. In the noisy environment test, the voice shockingly remained almost identical to the quiet test, and none of the background noise made it through in the recording. This is genuinely one of the most impressive background noise reduction systems I have come across so far across all products.
