I almost didn't buy these because some reviewers complained about the base. However I think they're great and the base is plenty good enough! I use them for podcasts and wanted to be aware of my surroundings whilst I listened. They do that perfectly. They sit over the ear canal, so I can hear good sound but I don't feel closed off from the world. You can't really use them on public transport because the sound leaks, but for the gym or out and about walking round town they're perfect. Only draw back is if the outside noise is loud, so quieter environments only (I couldn't use them in my local climbing gym for example). Other than that... Great. Oh, and battery life is awesome and I like that you can link them to two devices and switch seamlessly just by pausing music on one device and playing music on the other - Love that!!

Fits great on my average size ears. Quality is really good considering the buds don't sit in the ear, so don't expect amazing bass. Excellent value for money. Lasted way over a year and battery has remaining top notch and continue to use daily, especially on commute. Can wear them for long periods & are comfortable & lightweight. Mainly I don't have to worry about taking them out or pausing music just to speak to hear people or traffic. Buttons can be manually set to pause, change volume and skip tracks. Only downside of these types of ear/head phones is having to tweak volume when switching between busy/loud environments.

Although item is described as "open ear" i found it covers your ear holes unlike Bone conductors which sit in front of your ears, so not as "open eared" as i would have liked. Apart from this the sound was very good and i found them to fit very securely on my ears, didn't really need the band to hold them in place during the few runs i had with them. The one issue i had and its more of a me issue and not really a product fault that will affect the majority is i have a cauliflower ear from years of playing rugby, i found the earphone to be very uncomfortable after 10-15 mins of wear, almost felt like a peg pinching my ear to the point where my ear was starting to bruise. decided they weren't for me and opted for Shokz bone conductors, shame as they seemed like a very good product otherwise.

I’ve been using the Soundcore by Anker AeroFit Pro Open-Ear Headphones for a months weeks now, and I have to say: these are a game changer. I’ve tried a couple of the more popular open-ear brands, including the AfterShokz (now Shokz) and the newer Shokz OpenFit 2, but nothing comes close to what Soundcore delivers with the AeroFit Pro.Fit & Comfort:This is where the AeroFit Pro immediately stands out. They stay in place securely without ever feeling tight or uncomfortable. Compared to the Shokz, which sometimes felt a bit loose or required constant adjusting, the AeroFit Pro just fits — whether I’m working out, walking, or just doing housework. You almost forget they’re on.Battery Life:No contest here. The battery life on the AeroFit Pro is significantly better than both the AfterShokz and the Shokz OpenFit 2. I’ve been getting through multiple days of casual use on a single charge, whereas with the Shokz, I found myself needing to plug in more frequently — especially with the OpenFit 2. Soundcore really nailed power management.Bluetooth Range & Connection Stability:This was a huge selling point for me. The AeroFit Pro maintains a strong, reliable connection even when I walk a couple rooms away from my phone. With the Shokz, I noticed signal dropouts if I moved too far or had walls in the way. Soundcore’s Bluetooth range is rock solid — perfect if you’re someone who doesn’t want to be tethered to your device all the time.⸻In short, Soundcore AeroFit Pro is the clear winner in the open-ear category for me. Better fit, longer battery life, stronger Bluetooth — all the things that actually matter in day-to-day use. Highly recommended!

I originally wanted some Shockz but I have a full beard and they need skin to skin contact to work, so looked for another option. My previous running headphones were Soundcore and these ticked all the boxes so gave them a try.For various reasons I was unable to use them for most of the year after buying them, so only started to use them recently.Three different runs and had one fall out every time and land on the street.Because they sit "on" your ear rather than in it they rely purely on the looped part to rest behind your ear and grip. The problem with this is that it's actually quite chunky, and as a full time glasses wearer there just isn't room behind my ear for them to sit properly, leaving them loose.No where does it warn they may not be suitable for glasses wearers. I have tried without my glasses (just to test) and they fit so much better without glasses (although the loop is so chunky that I expect it would be uncomfortable after a long period regardless).The second problem (maybe not for everyone) is the charging case they live in. As soon as you open it they connect to your phone. I accidentally knocked it open without realising one day in the drawer and for the rest of the day didn't receive any notification sounds on my phone as they all went to these in the drawer.I don't want to carry the case with me when I go out, but because they go live as soon as you remove them from the case you then have to shut them down manually before you head off, and if you catch the button in your pocket then they come on again.All in all a waste of money, and frustrating experience.If you wear glasses think again before choosing these.

These headphones give a great audio experience while still being able to hear your surroundings and not having to 'push' in-ear headphones into your ear canal.Just remember these are open headphones so don't expect these to block out ambient noise.
