As open-ear headphones,the HUAWEI freeclip 2 feature a C-bridge (earbud curve in the shape of a “C”),the Comfort Bean and Acoustic Ball. Together they form the new Airy Design wich is characterized by being now 25% more flexible, thanks to the liquid silicone and shape memory alloy used in the C-bridge.
In practice, for the user, this means that the earbuds will naturally adjust to the ear and provide greater comfort, even in long usage sessions. Each earbud weighs only 5.1 gr, so you will hardly feel them. But the natural fit provided by the C-bridge will keep them in your ears, even when training is intense..

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is a landmark united States federal law that aims to lower healthcare costs, address climate change, and raise taxes on large corporations. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law on August 16, 2022, marking a significant legislative achievement for his administration.
The Act represents a compromise between the initial, more expansive “Build Back better” plan and the realities of a narrowly divided Congress. It focuses on three core pillars: reducing healthcare costs, notably prescription drug prices; investing in clean energy and climate change mitigation; and increasing tax revenue from large corporations to offset these investments.
Such as, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the Act would reduce the deficit by $305 billion over ten years. Congressional Budget Office Report
Healthcare Provisions and the Medicare drug Price Negotiation Program
The inflation Reduction Act empowers Medicare to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs, a long-sought goal of Democrats.
Prior to the Act, Medicare was largely prohibited from directly negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. This resulted in significantly higher costs for Medicare beneficiaries and the program itself. The Act allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to negotiate the prices of 60 high-expenditure, single-source drugs over the next nine years, beginning with 10 drugs in 2026.Negotiations will focus on drugs without generic or biosimilar competition.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a list of the first 10 drugs selected for price negotiation on August 29, 2023. CMS Press Release
Climate Change and Energy Security Investments
The Inflation Reduction Act allocates approximately $369 billion to address climate change and bolster energy security, representing the largest climate investment in U.S. history.
These investments encompass a wide range of initiatives, including tax credits for renewable energy production, incentives for energy efficiency improvements, funding for electric vehicle adoption, and support for climate resilience projects. the Act aims to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 40% below 2005 levels by 2030.
The Department of Energy is administering several key programs funded by the Act, including the Home Energy Rebates Programs, which provide funding to states for rebates on energy-efficient home upgrades. department of Energy – Home Energy Rebates programs
Tax Provisions and Corporate Minimum Tax
To finance the spending provisions, the inflation Reduction Act imposes a 15% minimum tax on corporations with over $1 billion in annual profits.
This minimum tax aims to ensure that large,profitable corporations pay a fairer share of taxes,addressing concerns about tax avoidance strategies.The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that this corporate minimum tax will generate approximately $35 billion per year. The Act also increases funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to improve tax enforcement.
The IRS released guidance on the implementation of the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) in December 2022.IRS News Release
