AeroFit 2 by Anker, Open-Ear Headphones, Real-Time Translation Earbuds, 4 Adjustable Positions for Every Ear Size, 2× Richer Bass, Hi-Res, 42H Playtime, IP55,AI Clear Calls,Wireless Charging

Let me begin by saying that I was highly skeptical about sound quality of an open ear product having always used in ear buds. I am a hiker and trail runner. Buds had to constantly be adjusted and became somewhat uncomfortable and sweaty. Plus of course not being able to hear or communicate. These AeroFit2 are shockingly crisp in sound with more than adequate bass. Pod casts are clear as well. The fit is very light, comfortable and secure and often forget they are on. They do have some slight movement when running which at first I found concerning but they have never fallen off or affected sound quality. Remember they are designed to sit on and above the ear canal. I soon came to accept and ignore that feeling and can wear them in all types of activities including bench pressing; never done a handstand but there are limitations... Lol. I've never had to use full volume and they work well in windy conditions as well. Most times I can hear and communicate just fine unless the volume is too high. The touch controls are easy to use and customizable through the app. Call clarity for the other person is very good according to those I asked. I haven't had the opportunity to try the language interpretation in the app yet. The battery life is awesome and the battery pack case gives you much more and they charge pretty quick. Also, doesn't interfere with hats or glasses. I bought at a discounted price point and would gladly have paid more. Should have gone open ear long ago.

Alright folks. I have to say these are checking all the boxes that I needed them to. I was looking for a good quality open ear earbuds, that I could still hear everything around me, was loud enough for me to hear when I am in my work truck driving down the road(concrete mixers are kinda loud), and were comfortable for long periods of time. Open Ear- So obviously, they don't block my ears so hearing the radio or people talking or anything else is easy. Volume- The volume on these is not lacking. I do not need to max out the volume to hear what I need during work. I use these at about 3/4 volume, and that's plenty. I'm mainly using these to hear radio transmissions, but they also work great for phone calls. Comfort- For all intents and purposes, these are comfortable... for me. Mileage may very for you though. The adjustment system they use does work pretty well. They are light, and the part that goes around the front of your ear is curved to lessen contact. A lot of the time, I can forget I am wearing them. Sometimes they do start to hurt, and I just need to readjust them. They work pretty well with hats and glasses as well. Keep in mind, I'm wearing these for about 12 hours per day. Battery Life- For me, no issues. I'm not constantly using them though, communications are not all the time, and I'm not listening to music with them or anything. Your mileage may very. After a 12 hour shift I'm usually still about 60%. Sound Quality- Pretty good, I'm not an audiophile though. It's very clear, and the phone app gives you options on what you would like to hear. Better bass, better lyrics etc. The noisier the environment, the harder it'll be to hear. That's the tradeoff. Phone Calls- I have used these several times for phone calls, quality is great for me. The the other party(my wife for instance) had no issues hearing me and I sounded very clear, keep in mind I was going down the road at 50 mph with the window open. Sounds like the noise cancelling works!! Multi-Connection- So I have paired these to my work phone for regular audio and my personal phone for just calls. And it works like a charm. I can hear radio calls from my work phone just fine, and when I get a phone call, as soon as I answer it switches to the call. I couldn't be happier here. Don't pass these up if they are ticking the same boxes for you.

I’ll admit, I’ve always been a traditionalist—I usually like things to go deep. So, when I first looked at the Soundcore AeroFit 2 with its open-ear design, I was a little skeptical. I thought, how satisfying can it really be if it just rests gently on the outside? Let me tell you, I have seen the light. First off, we all know finding the right angle is crucial. These babies come with 4 adjustable positions, meaning no matter the size or shape of your ears, you can tweak them to hit the absolute sweet spot. Once they’re comfortably mounted, they stay exactly where you put them. They don't slip out even when things get incredibly hot and sweaty (thank God for that IP55 moisture resistance). The physical sensations are top-tier. They boast 2x richer bass, and you really feel that deep, thumping action right where it counts. Pair that with the Hi-Res audio, and the clarity is so good you'll catch every heavy breath and subtle whisper. But let's talk about stamina. 42 hours of playtime! Honestly, whether I'm deep into a late-night gaming marathon or sweating under the hood of a car for hours, I am totally spent long before these things are. They are marathon performers. And when it is finally time to recover, there’s no clumsy fumbling around trying to find the right hole in the dark—just lay the case down on a wireless charging pad and let them juice back up. As if that wasn't enough, they even have a real-time translation feature, making them quite the cunning linguist when you're dealing with foreign tongues. Add in the AI Clear Calls that expertly filter out any heavy breathing on your end, and you've got the total package. If you're looking for a partner that knows how to maneuver, lasts all weekend, and delivers a highly satisfying, vibration-heavy experience without being painfully invasive, these are the ones for you.

The open ear design is excellent for everyday, casual use. You hardly even notice they're there and you can hear the outside world perfectly and still hear your audio too, making these excellent choices for work or walk-around use as you won't have to take them out if you need to hear something or talk to someone. The sound quality is fine and there are multiple sound modes that can be accessed through the free Anker app, and these let you adjust bass and treble levels as well as select from a wide range of preset sound modes such as Rock or Jazz. An minor annoyance is the default sound setting is Anker's custom sound mode, which has very heavy bass. Normally, you can change this to a different mode, but that only works if you have BOTH earbuds on. If you are someone who likes to have an earbud on one ear, then there is no way to change this sound mode. It takes some getting used to, but I wish you could adjust this without needing to wear both earbuds. Another minor design issue is the buttons. Each bud has no physical buttons, but rather a touch sensitive zone on the top of the bud themselves. You can control these by tapping or holding, much like with a touchscreen. The issue is when you are putting them on, your hand also has to touch this area, meaning the button is being pressed sometimes multiple times unintentionally, which can start and stop certain features on your phone or even disconnect a call if you're on one. I would recommend turning off Bluetooth on your phone while putting these on, and then turning it back on once they're secure. They connect pretty quick, so there won't be an issue. The mic is clear and sounds great too, especially for phone calls. The battery life is excellent too, especially if you only wear one at a time and then swap to the other one when battery runs out. Wearing them all day I have yet to have them run out of battery. The Live Translation feature I feel is the main draw to these, and that feature is free.....for now. Anker may change this in the future, but for now it's free through the app. In the small testing I have done, it works pretty well, though I would encourage testing these with foreign language news or talk shows to get a feel for how well this will work for you. Overall, these are great earbuds for everyday use and talking phone calls. I wear them all the time and hardly even notice they're there! Very comfortable and usable after you get used to them. I have others that sound much better, but these are so convenient that they've become my primary, everyday earbuds.

I frequently need to use a phone for hours at a time and regular earbuds just don't cut it. I've gone through three Apple brand or affiliate models that just didn't work. Some fell out, some had bad sound, and they all would make my ears physically hurt after a few hours of use. I have MANY Anker products in the battery and charging area, but did not realize they made these as well. I could not find a bad review on them that wasn't just a personal preference issue and they are great. I get compliments about how good they sound when I'm on the phone, the controls are great and customizable through the app (no accidentally "bumping" buttons when you put them on) and they sound incredible. I'm not someone who needs the noise cancellation because i want to know if someone is near or something is around me. These still manage to drown out a lot of that sound. The adjustability "clicks" are great for precise fit, the function is perfect, they have great range, and no ear fatigue at all even after 4 or more hours of use. The batter life is fantastic as well. All in all very impressed with them and the value is great for what you get at the same price point.

I have loved these the moment I took them out of the box. I tested these with my sister. She liked them so much that she ordered a pair. It has now been a week of constant use, and they have already become the best wireless earbuds I have used. There are some Cons; but, for me, the Pros definitely outweigh them. **Note: I am using these with Android and Windows-based machines. I have not tested them yet with any Apple devices. PROS: Nothing in the ear. **They don't sit in the ear canal, so no skin irritation and no "speaking in a tunnel" effect that you get with earplugs. These use ear hooks to hang on the ear lobe. *This is perfect for those of us that can’t keep standard earbuds in their ears. Sound quality is crystal clear for both me and a caller. **I can have music playing through these and still be able to hear conversations going on around me. It is the same as having music playing from speakers rather than the earbuds. Great job of dampening the environmental noise while on a call. **I can get ice from the freezer when on a call and the caller barely notices. Volume is definitely loud enough. **I usually have my Bluetooth volume way up, but not with these. I actually had to turn them to a very low level. The fit is comfortable and secure. **Half the time I forget I have them in, and I never feel like they'll fall off. Smooth simultaneous multipoint connection. **So what does that mean? I have these connected to both my phone and laptop at the same time. I can listen to music on my computer. These will pause the music and immediately switch to the phone for a call. I hang up the call and start back up the music on my computer. All of this will happen automatically. Battery life on a single charge is amazing. **I haven't tested the full 10 hour claim but they have worked for 9 hours straight with average use.) Easy to pair with devices The case can be charged wirelessly or through USB-C. Good cost for what you get. **My previous earbuds CONS: Simultaneous Connection doesn’t instantly work when first connecting. **Test the transition from one device to another before really using it. Takes a little time initially to get the Volume for all connected devices at good levels. Current battery life is usually a guess. **Other devices show current battery life in places on my phone or computer. I haven’t found that yet. There are no physical buttons on the earbuds. **To stop or play music, answer/hang up calls, etc. require a tap or double-tap. This can be challenging for those of us that shake. No rea Noise Cancellation **In my job I need to be more aware of my surroundings, so this isn't an issue for me.

TL;DR - I highly recommend the EarFun OpenJump. I've never owned open-ear headphones before but I was interested in getting some for cycling. After doing quite a bit of research I was no closer to deciding on a pair to buy, I narrowed it down to the EarFun OpenJump, Soundcore Aerofit 2, and Nothing Ear (Open). Since the fit is so important to the sound quality as well as overall comfort, everyone's experience with them will be different. My rankings ended up being, from first to last, what I listed above. Surprisingly that's also their order from cheapest to most expensive. Searches for the Nothing's consistently returned results saying they had the best overall sound quality. Unfortunately, they didn't fit me correctly and the speaker was too far from my ear canal leading to low volumes. If I held them in the correct position, they sounded pretty good. One problem some open ear headphones have is that when you increase the volume the amount of bass is reduced. That was a problem for the Nothing's where the bass begins to drop of after 40% volume and because of the poor fit, I had to increase the volume over 60% just to match the same perceived volume of the other two. The Nothing's were out of the running early on. The Soundcore's were ranked highly in reviews for their adjustability and great bass, even at high volumes. I can confirm it retains its bass as the volume goes up but the bass is kind of boomy in general (which I'm not a fan of). In general I wasn't happy with the way the Soundcore's sounded no matter how much I played with the EQ. They just never sounded natural. I was able to rotate the speaker so it was positioned right by the ear canal which was great but I could feel slight pressure from the battery behind my ear. I could see that becoming an issue if you're wearing them long enough. My initial thought was to just get the EarFun's as they did make a couple top recommendation lists and they were the cheapest but the other two had more good reviews. I also have portable speakers from Soundcore and Earfun and I think the Soundcore speakers that I have sound better so I was wondering if that would be the case here too. After listening to all of them the OpenJump's won hands down. The Soundcore's maybe have a bit more bass overall but the OpenJumps sound the most natural and balanced. Even at higher volumes, they retain their bass with only a slight drop-off and the bass doesn't sound boomy. They also fit the best and are the most comfortable. You can't even tell that you're wearing them. In reviews there seemed to be an emphasis on calling out the lack of bass of open ear headphones but none of these sounded anemic. In general, none of these headphones provide much, or any, bass below ~50-60 Hz but they still sound satisfyingly full. I did, however, have an issue with my initial pair of OpenJumps. The right headphone buzzed from deep bass tracks so maybe that speaks to why they're the cheapest. The replacements didn't have any issues. Hopefully they stay that way for a good long time.

The soundcore AeroFit 2 open-ear earbuds are an excellent option for anyone tired of over-ear headphones and in-ear earbuds. They go on top of your ear and have downward firing speakers that are close to your ear canal, but not inside, so it is very comfortable. They do not offer anything in the way of noise cancellation, but they sound quite good out of the box. They only have one-size, so unfortunately, if it does not fit your ears, it may be difficult to wear or get good sound out of them. They have an adjustable mechanism that allows them to better fit other ear sizes, but if you have significantly larger or smaller ears than average, it will probably not work for you. I have used the previous AeroFits as well as the AeroFit 2's, and these are a marked improvement on the original design in most regards. They have a full silicone sleeve over the entire product as opposed to just the ear hooks of the previous design, making them a bit sturdier and less prone to breaking. The sound quality is about 80%-90% of what I would expect from in-ear earbuds or headphones, and being able to hear my surroundings and not have that "head pressure" feeling or irritation from wearing closed-back headphones or earbuds is incredibly comfortable. It's like I have portable speakers that only I can hear. They do get quite loud, but I find that I only need to set them to 30%-50% volume max. There is a tendency for my Soundcore products to stop functioning properly or have issues, but contacting Soundcore in their app is an easy solution. They have replaced earbuds for me with no-questions-asked, as well as sent me a replacement set for the AeroFit 2s when mine would not charge properly. I wish that they were more durable or had better QC so that these issues wouldn't happen in the first place, but I have always been helped by their customer service and gotten replacements for faulty products. They are frequently on sale, and a very good value for the money. I look forward to Soundcore's future releases in this department.
