V20i by Anker Open-Ear Headphones, Adjustable Ear Hooks, Ultra-Comfort, Snug Fit, Powerful Sound, Clear Calls, IP55, LED Lights, 36H Playtime, Bluetooth 5.4 Earbuds, Multipoint Connection

These are my dream headphones and really great value. I hate in ear headphones, I don't like the feel of things in my ears but these rest just close enough for good sound quality but not so much to irritate, I can barely feel. I'm wearing them once set up but I must have weird ears because most earphones fall out constantly but these are really secure yet not uncomfortable. I like to be aware of what's going on around me when out and about but also listen to music at a reasonable volume and this is the perfect balance. Wish I'd found these years ago, absolute game changer!!!!

I've had a white pair for a year and came back to buy a black pair. I advise against the white because they do look a bit like hearing aids. I have elephant ears and still find these to be the most comfortable earphones I've ever worn. I've had multiple occasions where I'm searching for the earphone while it's on my ear because it's so comfortable I forgot I was wearing it. Sound quality is great given the type of earphone, I struggle to imagine how the more expensive ones would be better, due to the mechanics of how these work. Upsides: can hear surroundings well - good for talking to people while listening (e.g. at work), don't make your ears sore, can wear all day, no possibility of ear infections, no waxy earbuds that you can't share with other people, great battery life, can lie down on them, range is decent, connecting to two devices is very seamless. Downsides are all just downsides of open-ear earphones: not usable in windy conditions, will leak sound to people nearby if played loudly, can't be super bassy, can't have noise cancellation. But those are true of all earphones of this type, not a slight on this product at all.

I got these to replace my normal ear buds, as I have just started using hearing aids and wanted something compatible. The sound quality is good - but not quite as good as earbuds. I use them for both music and TV. They are very comfortable to wear, when I am not listening to anything I often forget I have them in. They work adequately with hearing aids in, but the sound is not quite as good as when you remove the hearing aids and can seat earphones more fully in your ear. (Understandable as the hearing tube which goes into the ear will block some sound in any case). Usefully, the settings let you adjust the left/right balance, which was very useful for me as I have mildly impaired hearing in only one ear - adjusting the balance slightly made a remarkable improvement. I am happy with the purchase, pleasantly surprised by the sound quality, and appreciate being also able to hear what is going on around me while I am listening to music. The 'Tap' controls on the earphones for volume, prev, next etc work well once you get the hang of them - no moving parts - just tap on the earphone. The case is compact enough and also has a built-in battery so it recharges the earphones even if you are using it to carry them in your pocket, it is also large enough to hold my hearing aids when I take them out (which is probably about 50% of my listening time). I have not gone back to the earbuds since I got them. I use them several hours a day and have not gone below half-charge yet - so the built-in battery seems adequate. Very good value for the money. Easy to put on and take off.

If, like me, you have odd shaped ears and need a pair of headphones for running that won't immediately fall out - and don't break the bank - look no further! I've persisted for years with in-ear headphones, including some fancy running ones from a well-known sportswear brand and some pricey ones from a top phone brand. I honestly think my ears must be a wonky shape because no matter what I do they never quite fit right, and when I'm running I have the annoyance of having to adjust one side or the other every minute or two. Eventually I got fed up and looked for something more secure, but I didn't want to spend a lot on a pair I'd only use a short time each week. Nor did I need the greatest sound quality. I settled on these V20i's and I'm so pleased I did. They felt a little weird to start with, mainly because I'm used to something being *inside* the ear canal, so psychology I felt like they had fallen out. However, it didn't take long to get past that and now, for the first time in years, I can run with no annoying adjustments whatsoever. None. Brilliant! Now, I'm writing this review from the perspective of someone who doesn't want or need the absolute best audio quality, or the most futuristic looking buds. I just need something that has decent sound quality, is well made, and most importantly stays put - and these tick all those boxes. I may also be slightly unusual in that I listen to audiobooks or podcasts when I run, so I've not put these through their paces with thumping bass. For what I need, the audio is excellent - clear, defined, and plenty loud enough. As these rest over the ear they do not isolate sound, meaning when I run I can fully hear my surroundings for safety. Again, this is perfect for my needs but something to keep in mind if you prefer full sound isolation. The sound can, at times, get slightly drowned out by particularly loud traffic nearby but not enough to bother me, and I've never had to turn them up fully to compensate. The Soundcore app is excellent and lets you configure the buttons on each side with ease. I've not had any accidental presses of these, and they give out a nice audible beep so you know when you've hit them. Connection has been strong and stable with my Samsung Galaxy. I'm so impressed with these, particularly given the price - an absolute bargain if they're on offer. Never before have a worn a pair of headphones that barely feel like they're there, don't cause any fatigue or soreness at all, and stay locked on when I'm running. Perfect.

These are really good quality at a good price sound quality is good battery life good and very comfortable.

Very comfortable with great touch controls and decent sound quality. The comfort and control accessibility are what make these stand out. To be clear, there are easily better sound quality headphones on the market. But these are still definitely decent, and not bad by any stretch. Where these stand out is that they are incredibly light and comfotable, and are not in-ear so don't noise cancel your environment. Perfect for exercise and workouts, even highly vigourous and energeticelly mobile ones - there's no chance they'll fall out at all as the design goes over and down behind your ears, and the headphones themselves have 4 positions they can snap into to fit your ears personally. But they're also perfect for general usage too to be honest. The simple touch controls are highly customisable via the app to suit your preference and they work really well too. Finally I can do intensive boxercise whilst listening to Britney Spears as my inspiration without people assuming I'm gay.😂

I don't normally do reviews but give credit when its due, so here goes....The Anker Soundcore V20i earbuds offer an affordable open-ear design that stands out for its comfort and secure fit—ideal for workouts and active use. They deliver impressive call clarity, supported by four built-in microphones. While the audio performance is solid for the price, with punchy bass and customizable EQ settings, it doesn't quite match the detail of higher-end models. The open-ear format, which lacks active noise cancellation and may allow sound to leak at higher volumes but not a great deal i feel. overall, I highly recommend that if you are looking for a budget priced headphones will not fall out of your ear whilst talking , running, etc, Deliver good sound, not to mention an earphone that will not cause comfort distress of worn for a long period of time, then these are what you need in your life.......then these are the earphones for you... I honestly believe if you're not critical, you will be highly surprised.... well done, Anker 🎧🔊☺️🫶🤗

I first discovered this style of headphone by ordering a cheap pair off Wish, they had awful sound quality but were comfortable and I thought they were a great idea and alternative. Happy to find these, made by a well established brand with many reputable products, these have sure met my expectations and are another win for the Anker portfolio. The sound quality is fantastic, quite rich with decent bass (not tinny like those Wish ones) Very simple to use, you don't have to use them with the app, you can simply pair them with your phone via bluetooth and start playing your music, you can use your native graphic equaliser, I see no benefit in using the app and would rather not have my music history data monetised for others to profit - is nothing sacred anymore? Lol. Totally recommend these. They wont fall off your ears and are stable during exercise. If walking the street with modest volume you can hear everything happening around you (traffic, e/bikes/scooters, people walking behind you) so great for safety and spacial awareness. Choose how much of the "world" you wish to be aware off by using your 'volume turned up' as a 'world turned down' feature and find a balance relative to your environment =)
