Huawei‘s new open-back FreeClip earbuds (review), recently launched globally, are receiving their first software update. This update, weighing in at just 794KB, focuses on improving Bluetooth connectivity and stability.

The changelog highlights enhanced Bluetooth performance, meaning you can expect fewer dropped connections and a smoother listening experience. Huawei hasn’t detailed any other changes, but there might be some hidden optimizations tucked away in the firmware.

To update your FreeClips earphones, simply open the Huawei Smart AI Life app and navigate to the Device section. If the update is available, you’ll see it listed in the settings. Tap to download and install, and your earbuds will be up-to-date in no time.

To recap, Huawei FreeClip are company’s first open-ear style earphones that don’t require users to discern between left and right ears. It comes in a unique two-part structure consisting of a comfort bean (rear portion) and an acoustic ball (speaker) joined in by a C-bridge design.

The earbuds are also pretty lightweight at just 5.6 grams per bud and are reversible meaning you don’t need to determine which bud fits in which ear. Huawei says the onboard sensors determine which bud is in which ear and tune it accordingly. 

As with other open-ear earphones, the FreeClip doesn’t sit up against your ear canal, so you will pretty much be hearing outside-world noises, no matter what.

You can connect these buds to two devices simultaneously, offering users flexibility in terms of devices. These are also IP54 dust and water-resistant and offer a battery life of up to 32 hours. They also support fast charging allowing for 3 hours of listening time with just 10 minutes of charge.
