Review: Sound delay - Video and sound delay even when low latency is on. Kinda annoying
Review: Open Ear Listening: I'm Lovin' it! - 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 👍😊✌️

## Features

- Open Ear Clip-on Design for Safe Listening: Open ear clip-on design lets you hear music and surroundings for safe running, cycling, and walking. It fits comfortably with glasses and is friendly for back sleepers but not recommended for side sleepers.
- Cloud AirCushion Comfort & Anti-Drop Stability: 5.2g ultra-lightweight with Cloud AirCushion and Four-Point Support for 198% higher stability and 200% more comfort. Flexible C-Bridge fits most ear shapes and stays secure during exercise.
- Balanced Open-Ear Sound with Anti-Leakage: 3-magnet driver with 0.8mm amplitude delivers clear, wide soundstage. AI adaptive bass provides moderate, balanced bass rather than heavy bass. Directional sound reduces leakage. Open-ear design prioritizes situational awareness over deep bass.
- IP57 Waterproof & Dustproof Reliability: IP57 waterproof and dustproof protects against sweat, rain, and dust for gym and outdoor use. Keep charging pins clean to maintain stable charging and avoid connection issues.
- Call-Focused Voice Capture & Noise Reduction: 2 mics with DNN noise reduction suppress wind and background noise for clear calls. This is call noise cancellation, not active noise cancellation. Mics are optimized for calls, not professional recording. Mic mute is available via Baseus App.
- Simple Controls & Stable Connectivity: Physical buttons avoid mistouch and enable smooth playback and call control. Functions are customizable via the Baseus App, with volume adjustable by long-pressing the earbuds. For older Bluetooth devices, occasional disconnections may occur and can be fixed by re-pairing.
