Baseus is one of those brands I feel more people should know about. It always delivers excellent audio hardware at what can only be described as a bargain price.
And this year at IFA 2025, the story is no different. Baseus launched headphones, earbuds, and a really handy set of clip-on earbuds in collaboration with legendary audio outfit Bose, which should have some of the better-known audio brands worried.
Baseus’ brand-new audio products are the stars of the show, but they’re far from the only new tech the company unveiled at IFA 2025, with new portable chargers, security cameras, and more to complete its lineup.

Baseus Inspire XH1
My new favorite ANC headphones
I’ve used a few Baseus headphones over the years, most recently the Bowie 30 Max ANC—which I actually found a little underwhelming. They were priced well, and for that price, the ANC was good, but the overall sound quality didn’t quite hit home for me.
It’s safe to say that the Baseus Inspire XH1 is a huge step forward in almost every area.
First, Baseus collaborated with Bose to produce a new sound profile for these headphones (and the earbuds, which I’ll come to in a minute). The uptick in overall quality is immediately noticeable, with the Inspire XH1s producing a good, balanced sound.
I’ll slightly caveat that by saying I did have to go into the Baseus app and turn off a Bass Boost setting that’s turned on out of the box, but once switched off, I enjoyed the Sound by Bose audio profile. It’s slightly bass-forward, even without the aforementioned bass boost setting.
Now, Baseus has tuned this towards bass, with SuperBass 3.0 and SuperBalance 3.0, but with some EQ tweaks in the Baseus companion app, you can find a real sweet spot for these cans.
These headphones are also super comfortable. The Inspire XH1’s earpads are thick and plush, meaning you can keep them on for hours at a time. I’d like the clamping pressure to be a bit stronger, but they don’t slip off easily.
And that comfortable design is also a strong part of why the Inspire XH1 ANC works so well. The earcups fit nicely around your ears, creating a good seal. Then, the XH1s have five different ANC levels to choose from, plus presets for indoor, outdoor, business, and commuting, plus an adaptive mode. I’ve tried the ANC in a few different scenarios, and found it works well against most noise, drastically cutting down the background droning of a flight and helping me keep focused at home during the school holidays.
Battery life is another big plus point for the Inspire XH1 headphones. Baseus claims a 100-hour battery life, dropping to 65 hours with ANC on. Those are top-tier numbers for ANC headphones, especially at this price point.
On that, the Inspire XH1 headphones are launching in the US on September 4, 2025, priced at $150.

Baseus Inspire XC1
Clip-on earbuds that actually sound good
I’ve tried quite a few clip-on earbuds since this style really started to become popular. My favorite up to this point was the Soundcore AeroClip, which, in fairness, delivers where you’d expect from a Soundcore product.
With that said, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Baseus Inspire XC1 clip-on open-ear earbuds. Like the XH1, these buds have been tuned in collaboration with Bose, and it shows. Open-ear earbuds are always at a disadvantage. It’s just a part of the design; you can’t make a seal around or in the ear, so some fidelity is naturally lost.
But the XC1 design does accommodate for this well, in a couple of ways. First, the XC1 clip-on earbud is long enough that the earbud itself rests close to my ear canal, projecting the audio exactly where it needs to go. Second is the 10.8mm dynamic driver and a supporting Knowles-balanced armature driver, which, in combination, deliver a powerful sound.
So, while the XH1 cannot provide ANC due to the design, I still found these earbuds able to block out a decent range of noise. Take a recent flight I was on. The background noise of the plane wasn’t completely removed, but I was suitably impressed with how personalized and focused the audio was.
In the Baseus companion app, there are custom EQ options, along with the same Sound by Bose default setting. This time, there is no bass booster option to toggle off. One handy feature in the Baseus Sound Settings is the Enhanced Battery Life mode, which boosts your listening time by turning off any audio enhancements. It pares back the audio a little, but gives you several hours extra play time when you need it.
I like that these earbuds are rated IPX7 for water and dust resistance. This means they can withstand water and dust to a high level, making them the ideal partner for sports and other outdoor activities. Oh, and they have wear detection, too—such a handy feature that I always feel is missing when earbuds or headphones don’t include it.
The Baseus XC1 clip-on open-ear earbuds are launching on September 4, 2025, priced at $129.

Baseus Inspire XP1
Super comfortable earbuds with powerful bass
Baseus’ new audio hardware is completed with its new Inspire XP1 earbuds, a tidy set of buds that look and feel great.
Like the headphones and clip-ons, Baseus has worked closely with Bose to develop an entirely new soundstage for these buds, and it shows. They’re a little on the bass-heavy side for me, but again, with a few small EQ tweaks in the Baseus app, you can tune that back down and really discover what makes these buds worth buying.
What I really like about the Baseus Inspire XP1 is the fit. I didn’t have to spend ages fiddling around to find a comfortable listening position, which is somewhat rare. These were straight out of the box and into my ears, and just felt right. Baseus designed the XP1 with a huge range of ear ergonomics in mind. It almost sounds counterintuitive, given how many ears there are in the world and how different each pair is. But the time spent crafting these has paid off.
The battery life of these buds is also worth noting. You get up to eight hours of battery life per charge (with a couple of hours lost with ANC on), and an additional 45 hours in the case. It’s not best in class, but it’ll get you through a day. Add onto that the 2.5 hours of playback on a rapid 10-minute charge, and it’s a tidy combination.
The Baseus XP1 earbuds are launching on September 4, 2025, priced at $129.

Baseus EnerGeek GX11 MiFi 67W 20000mAh and EnerGeek GT01 45W 10000mAh
Portable chargers that’ll keep you going for days
I’m always keen to keep my devices charged up on the go. These days, who isn’t? It’s why the portable power bank and charger market has become so enormous. Baseus is launching two different portable power banks to help you keep going, and both have some interesting features that make them worth a good look.
The GX11 MiFi is a combined 67W power bank and portable MiFi router, designed to give both power and Wi-Fi wherever you go. It uses an eSIM and can connect to up to 150+ different networks. And while you’re connected, you can keep your devices powered up, or at the very least, you know the MiFi won’t run out of battery.
Alternatively, the new EnerGeek GT011 is a 45W Qi2-certified magnetic portable charger. While it has a lower overall capacity, its magnetic charging and second-generation wireless charging make it a supremely useful addition to your day-to-day backpack.
The Baseus EnerGeek GX11 launched on August 30, 2025, priced $120, and the Baseus EnerGeek GT01 is launching September 4, 2025, priced at $100.

Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 240W Retractable Car Charger
Multiple charging cables, no mess involved
Everyone travels with a charger in the car, right? Whether plugged into the 12V port or into a dedicated USB port, they’re a mainstay of every modern vehicle.
So I can’t be alone with the dreaded curse of USB cables running around the car, with multiple cables draped throughout the interior.
That’s exactly the problem the Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 solves. You can finally get rid of all of those cables, with a 240W retractable charging unit that you can plug into basically any car. Each cable can deliver up to 105W, and the base unit actually features USB-A and USB-C ports if you want to plug something in directly.
It’s handy, it’s portable, and it’s available to buy right now for $34.
Baseus goes from strength to strength with its audio hardware. As mentioned, the Inspire XH1 headphones represent a significant upgrade over Baseus’s previous headphones, offering a great budget-friendly option for those seeking high-resolution audio and exceptional battery life. They look great, too. At the moment, you’ll struggle to find better headphones than these for under $200.
