What reviewers said
BGVP Q2s
The BGVP Q2s stands out for its balanced, detailed sound and long battery life, with the unique ability to switch to a wired connection via MMCX. However, its unreliable Bluetooth, finicky touch controls, and lack of water resistance make it better suited for indoor listening rather than daily on-the-go use. Multipoint support and aptX codec add convenience for compatible devices.
- Pro:Balanced and natural sound with good detail
- Pro:Long battery life of 7 hours per charge, 28 with case
- Pro:Can be used wired via MMCX connection
- Con:Bluetooth connectivity can be unreliable with long pairing times
- Con:Touch controls are finicky and not always responsive
- Con:Poor call quality for conversations
Huawei FreeBuds Neo

- Pro:Comfortable and lightweight fit
- Pro:Effective adaptive ANC
- Pro:Good call quality with 4 mics
- Con:Battery life with ANC is modest
