Baseus MC2 Open Earbuds
Baseus announced a new pair of open earbuds, the Bowie MC2, in June 2026. They offer upgraded sound, long battery life, and a more comfortable design. While they launched at $80, Amazon is now selling them for as low as $50. I’ve worn them for a month and here’s why I think they’re more impressive than ever.
At 5.1g per earbud, the Bowie MC2 are light and their clip-on design means most of that weight is located in the part that sits behind your ear. The speaker unit, which sits on the ear canal, features removable silicone ear cushions. It offers better comfort, especially during long listening sessions. I wore them for short workouts and evening walks, and didn’t have a problem apart from occasional fit adjustments due to sweat.
The MC2 open earbuds are IP67-rated for dust and water resistance. This means they can handle sweat and rain. Once you start sweating, the fit remains secure, but the earbuds tend to slide around and require adjustment for the best sound experience.
The new Baseus open earbuds feature slightly larger 11mm drivers (versus the 10.8mm drivers found in the MC1 Pro). They support AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs, as well as multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can connect them to two devices simultaneously.
