Review: Better than I hoped - really rather impressive - I wanted an open ear design as I find having something stuck in my ears whilst exercising becomes uncomfortable. Naturally I was drawn to the Bose Open Ultra clip-on earbud, but I could not justify the £250 to £299 cost for running on the treadmill or around the park. And let’s be honest do we really need an audiophile quality sound when sweating and dodging others whilst out running? As a brand I love Anker and have a number of their power solutions - they justifiably have a great reputation in this area, but I was still somewhat dubious about a pair of £45 clip on open earbuds. I thought they would be tinning and disappointing. Having worn my newly acquired ones over the last few days I can report that I find them pretty comfortable and have a pretty impressive sound quality. Even when load enough to hear them over the TV (when my wife is watching) they do not leak significant sound. The standard EQ is OK, but I still downloaded the app onto my iPhone and tried the other options. To me the Bass present sounds awful (flat), I agree with other reviewers who say the spacial audio/surround is rather disappointing and that was true for the vast majority of music from most of my streaming sources I use. There are some tracks that do sound pretty ok. But again, this is not really the purpose of these buds (I am also in love with my Sonos Era 300, so these are never going to stand up to muster). That said if you spend even a few moments with the custom options and set an EQ profile that suits your taste you will find these little bits of clip on plastic more than capable of sounding nice whilst exercising. Reviewer also mention that they are poor for call quality - again not really surprising when you consider the design and their intended purpose. Would I recommend these? If you have no financial limits and you want to sit in quiet environments, I would hazard the Bose are better, but for exercising with I can't imagine they are 5 times the price better. Anker/Soundcore have done it again. They have built a good (not super premium) quality product and brought it to market at a price that delivers pragmatically pleasing results at a sensible price - thanks Anker. A last point - the case is a little naff, serviceable and functional but does let the overall package down. I do not need or even really want wireless charging, but the case does feel like it is - plastic.
Review: Sound is clear but left one doesnt fit my ear as well as the right one. - They pairing was easy and downloading the app helps with settings and it even has some extra features like ambience source for sleep or relaxation, studying, meditating etc. Also has a translation feature. My left ear doesnt seem to like it though. I wore it all day at work and my ear felt a bit sore. The right one fits perfectly. The sound comes through really well and I managed a decent phone conversation wearing them. I had normal Bluetooth earbud before that never worked well for phone calls. Always had to disconnect them to talk. Really happy with these ones. I like having one on when I work as I can answer calls while my hands are busy but I also need to be able to hear my surroundings normally. Update: the battery life is fantastic. I have it in my ear all day at work in case of calls while my hands are busy. At the end of 12hrs, its only down to 80%. I use the right one usually as I stated above, the left one makes my ear hurt somehow. Lately when I put it on in the morning, knowing there's quite enough charge, the bud doesn't connect. I've had to reconnect the Bluetooth, or press the button on the underneath of the case whilst the buds are inside. I think its just not pairing with the case as when I remove the bud, the light doesnt flash but it did with the left one i hadn't used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can I fix unclear voice or poor call quality on my C30i?**
A: First,check that the microphone openings on the earbuds are clean and unobstructed.Ensure you are wearing them correctly for optimal microphone performance.If issues continue,try using both earbuds together for better voice pickup and noise reduction

**Q: Can I use only one earbud for calls?**
A: Yes, but for the best call clarity, place the unused earbud fully into the charging case and close the lid. This ensures the microphone and connection focus on the earbud you are using, improving voice transmission.

**Q: What should I do if my C30i won’t turn on or charge?**
A: Clean the earbud and case charging contacts gently with a dry cloth or alcohol swab. Try a different cable and power adapter. If the pins in the case are recessed, carefully lift them with a non-metallic tool to restore contact.

**Q: How do I reset my C30i earbuds?**
A: Place both earbuds in the case, leave the lid open, press and hold the case button for 5 seconds until the red light flashes three times. This resets the earbuds. Ensure they are seated properly in the case during the reset.

**Q: How can I reconnect my C30i to a device?**
A: Forget the earbuds from your device’s Bluetooth settings, turn Bluetooth off and on, then pair again. If problems persist, test the earbuds with another device to determine if the issue is with the earbuds or the original device.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable and easy to use
*by O***T on 14 January 2026*

I've been using these for a while now, and they are reliable with good sound and decent battery life. I have found that the touch controls get triggered when out in bright weather sometimes, you can disable them but then of course you're unable to use them until you reactivate them. They do exactly what I need them for primarily which is to listen to music and podcasts when exercising, without cutting me off from the world completely. Comfortable to wear and use, good value for money, I'd say.
