Soundcore by Anker AeroFit Pro Open-Ear Headphones, Ultra Comfort, Secure Fit, Ergonomic Design, Rich Sound with LDAC, Bluetooth 5.3, IP55 Water-Resistant, 46H Playtime, App Control, Wireless Earbuds

Almost a full year of very constant use and I still love these earbuds. They are not without CONS. But we'll get to those. As a snob of good sound and quality earbuds, I do still find these worth it if you are looking for outside of ear, ear buds. So I'll start with the PROS: The CLARITY of bass and treble are solid in these. Words are beautiful and even if it's windy outside, the neck band helps keep these a bit closer to your ear so you don't loose sound quality when running or doing high movement sports. The REMOVABLE WORKOUT BAND is such a neat and necessary idea. I still find that working out without the band is fine. These earbuds still move but they've never fallen off my ear. The band is nice to have simply if the need arises. The BATTERY LIFE is probably the GREATEST part of these. I've had 7 and 9 hour flights combined with 2 and 4 hour bus rides all in the same 24 hour period and these buds go on and on. I usually charge them every three days for constant usage and once a week for moderate use. Regardless, these have never actually come close to dying so I can confidently say they'll last longer than that! THE CASE is of medium size but sleek enough to easily fit next to a wallet. Still, I usually leave the case since the earbuds just last so long. The BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY is really strong. I can go down stairs and outside and still be connected to my phone. A NOTE upon that is there are a lot of reviews saying, "the buds de-sync" and I have had that issue pop up but not very often. Usually, I will just hold the button to turn it off or put it back in the case and then bring it back out and the bud syncs up normally. This issue is not uncommon with separate earbuds that I and friends of mine have had so I would not say it's a make or break item. THE DURABILITY is thankfully there. I've unfortunately dropped the earbuds a few times too many which would normally hurt to think about. However, they still sound the exact same as they did when I bought them. Hopefully that won't waiver as time goes on. THE VOLUME of these buds is great especially because I will use them when cooking or at work so I can be sure I hear my wife or coworkers. And that's pretty much it for the pros. Before I get to the cons, I have to point out a neutral point. I can understand that the hanging nature is not the most comfortable for everyone but I think not everyone has the same needs or ideas of comfort. I needed these earbuds because I was finding in-ear earbuds to become very uncomfortable. While flying or on long drives, I usually put earbuds in to help me sleep and add a sleeping mask too. I would get a lot of ear pain with my previous earbuds but I don't get that with these. So I find these very comfortable with my ears. The only thing is when wearing any ear bud for a long period of time, you will have sweat build up and possibly more earwax build up but managing that is way easier than the pain that in-ear earbuds would cause. And you no long have to switch the in-ear silicone pieces to find the right size for listening! Alright, onto the cons. CONS: I've never had a left side earbud be the skip button and the right side earbud be the pause for the earbuds. It's taken a lot of getting used to and honestly, I just don't think it should be the case. It feels too strange for me and I'm sure most people would agree. Small con. SOUND: these earbuds are not noise cancelling. That's the whole purpose of getting these opposed to other types of earbuds. They can get loud and if there's no real movement, you will locked into the sound. But if the wind is going and you're running fast, the music just will be a little harder to hear. The neck band helps but I'm sure people realize it's a small sacrifice for having open-ear earbuds. In conclusion, for open-ear earbuds, these deliver on many fronts. The price point is valuable but one should always look for deals. I will personally be sticking to these as I have found a durable and solid sounding pair of earbuds which suit my lifestyle.

These earphones are fantastic. But it's important to keep in mind that when it comes to earphones it truly does comes down to personal taste and one size does not fit all. I have struggled with traditional earphones for a while now. Ranging from the Google Pixel Buds 1 and 2, Earfun and Soundcore buds. My ears must be oddly shaped as I can't find a truly comfortable set and usually they end up popping out at some point during the day, which can be embarrassing if they shoot out and hit someone. The Aerofits are different in that they position themselves over the ear. It's like having a small speaker positioned just above the ear opening and thus having nothing in the ear gets away from the inconvenience of having something that is actually shoved in your ear hole. I find them very comfortable and often find myself looking for them and I already have them on. They also literally last forever on a single charge and must be powered by some kind of miniature plutonium based nuclear core reactor similar to those used in the mars rovers. Seeing as this could be considered dangerous to some, they wisely elected to have some insanely powerful traditional rechargeable battery instead. I tell people they are plutonium powered. It is wonderful not having to worry about the charge and I have not heard them warn me that the power is dwindling. Perhaps they don't have this feature as they never run out of power. Sound quality is excellent. However, if you are wanting these to listen to the latest dance track with bass on high... You will be disappointed. But ... for everyday use, they are more than adequate at music rendition. I use them primarily to listen to YouTube audio and/or podcasts and they are absolutely lovely to listen to. It's a deeply textured and vibrant audio sensation with a slight lack of bass which will not deter but the most serious audiophiles among us. The charging 'egg' for the earphones is larger than typical earbud chargers, which is something I like. I lose stuff constantly, and I've lost the egg on numerous occasions but usually it's a little easier to find thanks to it's ample size. It also feels quite premium. Placing the earphones in the egg feels satisfying. Sometimes I simply place them in the egg, experience that satisfying feeling once they snap in place and then take them out. I do this a number of times throughout the day as I have nothing else to do. Seriously though I love this product. It took me a while to find my perfect 'phones' but I finally did... and I won't ever have to clean, wax infested eggs or earphones ever again.

Short version: good but pricey and (for me) not 100% comfortable I've had all 3 of Oladance open ear, and recently bought these and the the TOZO open ear. So here is the comparison... 1) Oladance 1 were actually my favorite of the Oladance and were solid buds. The problem was low volume. But until recently Oladance had the best product, until every one started putting out competition. 2) Anker - very good sound, control is a button (not touch) and works very well. For me they are comfortable but not as comfortable as Oladance. A little bit of a pinching feel, but not terrible. They feel premium and sound great. Why the button only has single and double tap (no triple)? I don't know. 3) Tozo - wow! Better sound than Oladance, more comfortable than Anker. Sound wise they are a little different than Anker but I don't think either is better. The angling of earbuds is nice for comfort but I don't think it does much for adjusting sound. But the price? 1/3 the price of the Anker - insane for what you get. The only negative? Touch controls are kinda flaky (don't always respond well). I wanted to go with Anker (have been a fan of their products, and still am, for a while now) over TOZO but between the comfort and crazy price difference. I can't see myself going with Anker. For those that haven't used open ear - think of these as like being in a room with music playing. You can talk to people while using them without an issue but they are not going to block out surrounding noise at the gym (for example).

Disclaimer that each person is different so this is my personal review in my situation. I've tried probably over 30+ different earbuds, headphones, etc. I think these are the best for my needs: 1) Comfortable wearing all day - I can safely say I've been religiously wearing these throughout the waking day and even in bed. It's not that I don't notice them over my ears but they don't hurt my ears like regular in the earbuds or make my ears sweat like over the ear headphones. It comes with an attachment for behind the ear security but I haven't used them as I have no need. 2) Battery Life - these seem to last all day, for music and videocalls without even having to put back into case to charge. I am truly amazed how long they last for me. I have gone for 3 days using the case to charge the headphones. 3) Multipoint - This is actually a very IMPORTANT feature. I stay connected to both my smartphone and laptop all day. I've tried various listening devices that support multipoint such as Jabra and Aftershockz but they seem to get confused which device is emitting sound. This does have the issue but at a much lower rate. The best thing is the Soundcore app allows you disconnect the other device when this happens. The other brands, I have to physically disconnect from the other device. 4) Great sound - these sound just great for music, movies, or videocalls especially the fact they are open-ear headphones. I personally appreciate the spatial audio feature which makes you feel like you are surrounded by the sound/music. 5) Good/great for videoconferencing calls - Both parties can hear each other without an issue. I had issues w/ other headphones when using the MacOS via Google Meet where it auto-mutes me but I haven't run into issues with these Soundcore. 6) Relatively stable on the ears - these could be more stable but overall stable once in place. I sometimes wear these in bed and they stay in place enough but does requires some adjustment 7) Controls - These have two buttons, one in each side, that are placed where you don't accidentally touch/press them like other headphones. Overall they are most intuitive buttons and placement. You can customize each button to volume and playback. These buttons rock. I can't recommend these enough to those that have needs that mirror what I've listed. Give them a try.

Pro: I love the battery life. I used it all day without putting it back in the case for a quick charge which is really good. When you talk people can hear you no issue at all there are some con which I’ll explain later. The bud sounds good, has a nice warm tone to it. I also like the comfort, I wear it all day no discomfort at all. Even when I lay down with one side against a pillow I was impress it was comfortable and didn’t lose any sounds at all. Cons: the spatial audio sounds like crap. The personalize eq is crap. The changes you can make is very subtle. Why even bother with that feature? I wish it can go louder, although you can change it to the default settings volume booster, it’s boost a lot of hi mids. Not what I prefer but what choice do I have? The default Treble booster turns the hi frequency to damn high and turns everything else down. I thought they have real sound engineers to eq it? Apparently not. When I’m on a calls although I like it, it’s not loud enough. I wish I can boost it louder. It’s so annoying. Conclusion: Is it really Pro? Nope. I do recommend getting the regular one though. I knock down 2 stars because of the spatial audio and custom eq and not being loud enough for audio and calls.

I purchased these for my wife. She had the ones just below this set in models. She can’t stand to have ear canal blocked so no Air Pods or that style. She wears them continually throughout the day. She tells me that she can barely tell they are here. This past weekend she left one in her pocket and it was ran through a clothes washing cycle. I thought for sure they were toast nope, put it on the charger for 10 mins and lights came on showing charging. She put it back on her ear and it works perfectly no loss in sound or anything abnormal. Saved me another $100. Great sound, color(the wife’s favorite) quality and battery life is great. Get you some they work great. And of course waterproofing works.

Bought these on March 21, 2024 for $129.99 expecting durability. During the first year I barely used them, maybe once or twice a week, sometimes not at all. Starting in January 2026 I used them more regularly, about 2–3 hours a day. Yesterday 3/13/2026 the LEFT earbud cracked and broke at the ear hook out of nowhere. No drops, no abuse just normal use. Now the RIGHT one is cracking in the exact same spot and looks like it will fail soon. For a $130 headset, this is unacceptable. Sound and comfort don’t matter if the product literally falls apart. Very disappointed. Would not recommend if you want something that actually lasts.

I really wanted to like these. And I do, but they have some flaws that take away stars. First, they require a config change to allow connection to two devices; I don't understand why it's not enabled out-of-the-box or why it even exists when most (what, post BT 4.0?) devices can pair with multiple devices. However, once set, I think this feature is brilliantly done. I can connect to my phone and my laptop; Slack and Zoom calls on the laptop work seamlessly and switching to an app on the phone works without hassle. Battery life seems to be as advertised. I've yet to drain the case battery and I put them back in at the end of the day... Not really related to battery life, I'll also mention that the on/off for these coming out of the case and going back in seems to work much better than previous Anker/Soundcore offerings like the Zolo Liberty+. They also connect to the devices they're paired to really quickly. Also, as I haven't come close to draining the battery, the on/off/connect process doesn't include any sort of battery level notification; for that you have to open the Soundcore app... As for comfort, it's almost like they're not there. Unlike some of the bone conduction (BC) headphones, there's almost no "weight feeling" on my ears. The bit in front of the ear canal (the speaker) is almost unnoticeable and it doesn't block "external" sound enough to bother me. Yes, there's a definitely change in what/how you hear what's around you--that's a given whenever you put something in or around your ear--but it's not significant enough that you're really going to notice it. Another problem I've had with BC headphones is that they don't get loud enough to be heard in noisy environments. These don't have that problem at all. They don't get quite as loud as a noise-cancelling earbud, but those "seal" into your ear, so they have an inherent advantage in that regard. One thing I've yet to determine is how to lower the volume of the phone ringer. For whatever reason, these don't use the tone or volume setting of the ringer on my phone. I can get by the different ring tone, but the volume level is disturbing when it happen all of a sudden. The major flaw that I've yet to mention is around the sound quality. In Slack/Zoom calls, there's a weird artifact when people are talking that's hard to describe... It's not quite like a radio squelch, but it's similar. It's not exactly static, more like a distortion. It's also hard to ignore, but doesn't always happen. I was on a two-plus hour Zoom call yesterday and it would start and stop. Today's 15-minute call had it going the whole time... As noted, this is a major flaw and drops 1 star from the total. On the "normal app" side of things, it's like there's a noise reduction or audio compressor setting that's not quite right. Sometimes, the beginning of the sound being played is cut off, or it "fades in" so you miss the first part. That's not really a problem for things like notification sounds if they're long enough, but it's a problem when using an app like Pimsleur or Duolingo where you really want to hear the first words someone speaks. Minus another star... fortunately, this same thing doesn't seem to occur in conference-type apps, so the aforementioned distortion is really the only problem there. Outside of that, the sound quality proper is actually really good and consistent with other Anker/Soundcore products (I've got a bunch). I haven't listened to any music with these yet, or done a workout to see how well the stay on, but in what I've experienced so far, I'm confident that they will perform quite well in either case. I'm hopeful the sound quality flaws can and will be worked out with a firmware update (as of this writing, the latest is 01.32). I'll update this review should that occur. In the meantime, if you can deal with the flaws, these are an excellent purchase and another fine product from Anker/Soundcore. Update: A year-plus on and while the battery life and sound quality still seem good, I’ve discovered that these are rather fragile. I dropped one on a tile floor and it no longer produces sound; there’s no visible damage to the exterior. Minus another star… I mean, small devices like this are bound to be dropped on all sorts of surfaces. I expect more.

Usados durante más de medio año, se puede dar veredicto. Son cómodos, de muy buena construcción, resisten el sudor y suenan lo suficientemente alto y bien como para disfrutar de la música sin privarte del ruido de la calle y sus peligros. La caja aguanta varias cargas, y si solo los utilizas para hacer deporte, te pueden durar semanas sin cargar. El cable de acero para unir un auricular con otro te da tranquilidad si lo quieres utilizar, pero hasta la fecha, no se me han caído entrenando (corriendo, etc.). Por buscar una pega, a modo aviso, con el sudor se manchan los contactos y hay que limpiarlos regularmente. No es que fallen, pero puede llevar a susto.

So when I bought my Oladance OWS PRO, I said that it would be the last pair of open ear headphones I will ever need, and that comment stays true. But when these came on sale during Prime Day, I just had to get it as it offers the neck strap which I sorely missed with the Oladance. The sound quality of these headphones with the 16.3 drivers are Amazing! They give a good base and clear voice on music. Phone call quality is also very nice, I find that these are actually better than my OWS PRO especially in outdoor scenarios, it just feels louder to hear. The noise cancellation when on a call is very good too, it does well to hide most but the loudest background noise. Battery life is excellent, I would use my headphones on a daily basis on and off (idle) during my travels, and usually by the time I get home after a good 9 hours out, I still have over 80%. This is also me taking a few 20min calls over the course of a working day. Comfort is top notch, with the neck strap, it enables me to go for a ride on the bike at anytime I want without fearing of dropping the buds, something that has happened to my Oladance OWS Pro a few times. When I just need to travel however, the freedom of having just the buds themselves is just very convenience, I can charge without needing a cable and the case itself offers plenty of juice on the go. TLDR: I find myself using the AeroFit Pro more and more, and now, I've somehow managed to relegate my Oladance OWS Pro to my desk draw at home. We are talking a headset that is more pricey and more feature packed than the AeroFit Pro. But AeroFit Pro just fits my day to day life so much better. Get these... You won't be disappointed... You won't be burnt and you'll have a versatile, bloody good set of open ear headphones that you'll be satisfied for years to come.

Sound quality is better than Bose, B&W and Tecnics. Both Bass and Treble are good. Perfect all rounder. Only grime will be the size of the case, which I understand is due to the over the ear design. Battery life is insane. Really enjoying the open ear design which doesn’t hurt my ears. Good for those not interested in Noice Cancellation. LDAC is enabled which further improves the sound quality if you are using Android source. Comfort wise can continue wearing all day. Great for outdoor cycling, with optional retainers, but don’t think I’ll need it, as it feels quite secure. The pricing is quite low for the white or black option as the product quality and performance is much higher and better than products costing twice or thrice the price even.

The product boasts an IPX5 rating as well as their own “SweatGuard”, however after about 3 uses while running the right earpiece started to make a crackling sound.

Really nice bit of tech. Good quality product. Sound quality and microphone impressive
