SoundGuys describes a bright, spacious sound that is light on bass, which is typical of open earbuds. The two bass enhancement levels add audible distortion. Anti-leakage mode makes the sound muffled. Company-provided unit tested for 5 days.

The response is about 8 dB lower at 100 to 200 Hz, 6.4 dB higher at 2 kHz, 11.9 dB higher at 3.15 kHz (the peak), 6.8 dB higher at 8 kHz and 5.1 dB lower at 16 kHz.6Measurementsoundguys.com/product/huawei-freeclip-2Read 14 October 2026SoundGuys product page, measured frequency response table in relative dB against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve.

SoundGuys reports that voices sound good in ideal conditions. In its office, street and windy demos the algorithm struggles to keep the voice while suppressing noise, so voices sound muffled.
