I just gave these outstanding open earbuds a glowing review and now they're back, but with an unexpected additional feature
The Baseus Bowie MC2 NC build on some excellent open earbuds by adding noise cancellation, a rare feature for the form factor.
Baseus Bowie MC2 open-earbuds recently received glowing reviews, and now their follow-up model, the Baseus Bowie MC2 NC, is back with an unexpected additional feature - noise cancellation. The new earbuds debuted at IFA 2026, featuring the same feature set and sound profile as their predecessor, but with the added benefit of noise cancellation.
Priced at $99.99, they are slightly more expensive than their open-ear counterpart, which costs $79.99. The noise cancellation feature is an unusual addition for open earbuds, as it typically removes background sound, which is the primary purpose of open earbuds. However, the redesigned air cushion surrounding the buds improves the acoustic seal, allowing for better noise cancellation.
This is the first clip-on earbud model with noise cancellation, providing users with more versatility depending on their needs.
