I was ready to call these the best open earbuds ever, and they're incredibly cheap — but one recurring issue ruined it all

The Soundpeats Pop Clip2 earbuds initially seemed like a great choice for the reviewer, offering excellent sound quality and a competitive price. However, after just a few weeks of use, they encountered significant issues with connectivity and charging. The charging case would sometimes not power up the earbuds, leading to drained batteries when needed.

The most significant problem was connectivity, with the earbuds frequently failing to connect or dropping the connection during use. The reviewer tried using a different pair of earbuds (Baseus Bowie MC2) when the Soundpeats Pop Clip2 proved unreliable, but it was a disappointment to have such issues with a brand that typically offers great value.

The reviewer hopes that the issues might be resolved through software updates in the future, keeping the possibility of recommending the Soundpeats Pop Clip2 open.
