soundcore 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.

This is my third Anker headphone purchase (Life 3i, AeroFit 1 and now these) and each has been an enormous improvement over the last ones, which have all been very well-loved. I also own a pair of Shokz Openfit Airs, AfterShockz bone conduction headphones, and a couple knock off brands of open ear headphones. For clarity I will only compare these to the AeroFit 1’s and the Shockz Openfits. 1) Weight: One of my favorite things about my Shockz is how light they are, and this pair matches that quite well. The 1’s would start to annoy my ears after a while due to their weight. I can’t even tell that these 2’s are on. 2) Fit: The 2’s fit is amazing and the ability to adjust them makes all the difference. The 1’s were a bit bulky and would fall off if I needed to adjust my hair around my ears, and a drop onto rocks last weekend pretty much gave the right one a death knell. I love the Shockz’ fit. The 2’s are comparable to the Shockz. They aren’t budging. I also sleep with headphones, and these were very comfortable when I was on my side. 3) Battery life and quick charge are great. The 1’s battery life was what made them win over the Shokz, even though I had liked the Shockz’ fit and weight more. I listen to stuff in the background a lot, so everything gets a lot of use. The six-hour life of the Shockz just wasn’t enough, and they would die even if they weren’t being used. The 1’s would be the energizer battery and just keep going, I would often get a good day and a half out of them before needing to charge. These arrived yesterday afternoon at 80% charge and 20 hours later I only had to charge them for thirty minutes to have them at 100%. 4) Cost: I got these on sale for $100 and that seems to be a good price point for great quality and features but not going to break the bank. 5) Sound: The 1’s could be a bit tinny, these produce a nice, rich sound similar to the higher-cost Shokz. 6) Controls: The app makes all the difference in functionality for me. Being able to change how many taps to play/pause puts Anker leaps and bounds above Shockz.

If you are in the market for an Over The Ear bluetooth headset, you need these Soundcore Aerofit2's! I bought another set a week previous and I was having troubles with how I sounded to others on call. It would keep cutting out audio and the headset sounded horrible, audio quality-wise. People raved in the reviews how great they sounded and once I received them it made me wonder if any of these reviewers had actually ever heard a good set of headphones! These Soundcore AeroFit 2's sound absolutely amazing! They have great bass, considering they don't go IN your ear and the app allows you to further tweak the audio to your liking. Reports from people on the other end of my phone calls say that the audio is a night and day difference between the other set I had purchased. I was quick to return those and absolutely love these new ones. I can wear them all day long and I forget I have them on! I have to be on the phone and in front of my computer all day long for my job and the fact that I can connect two devices at once to these is an incredible feature!. Another nice thing I noticed is that if I am watching a video on my pc and I get a notification on my PC, it will pause the video for the notification and then start playing again once it has passed. This is just another example of an excellent Anker product at a great price and I would highly recommend these! They are functional, fit over the ear perfectly, have a beautiful design, hold a charge all day, which can be further extended by putting them in the case for a few minutes and are super comfortable!

The mic is really bad in calls

Sound quality and product quality is awesome! Just a little big in size! Better for large ears

Firstly I am a big Anker fan. And having purchased several Anker products and found them to be excellent value for money with superb build quality. So when I needed some ear phones as usual I did my research. Looked at other brands (shokz, bose etc) but found myself swayed towards the Aerofit 2. I own some bose qc35 II. Although superior sound they do make my ears sweat with prolonged use so decided to try these as I just cannot have the in ear type because I have small ear canals. And no regrets. Although the bass is not on a par with my bose I find it more than adequate, and I do like bass. This was not the reason for my purchase. As a tinnitus sufferer I wanted something that was comfortable for long use, and also being aware of my surroundings and still have conversations while listening to my music which detracts me for the permanent ringing in my head. For this they are perfect and I cannot fault them. I could easily wear these all day and did when I first got them. The battery also is excellent. Because I do not listen to my music at loud volumes I expected them to last a little longer than advertised. They were delivered by 9am and was eager to try them out. They connected effortlessly to my phone and I downloaded the accompanying software. By 9:30 they were in my ears and my tunes were playing. Like I said I do not listen a loud volumes so I can still have conversations with people while wearing. I listened to them all day and into the evening, around 11pm. I took them out but just put them on the side table but left the music playing. I could not hear any bleed from the music. So that was nearly 14 hours of constant use. But it was even better than that. I awoke at 9am and was curious as to see how much charge was left if any. To my surprise the music was still playing and the app on my phone said that they had 40% remaining. Popped them in my ears and continued to use them as I worked in my garden. They finally gave up the ghost and around 12 noon which by my estimate was 27 hours of continued use. What the product does not say though is how well designed the app is. It tells you the charge of the device and the case as I know most do, however in addition to that you get white noise sound in the app with meditations and sleep stories as well. It does say it a limited time free for this but for how long remains to be seen but is a nice inclusion. In addition you get e resident ai in the app as well. Which can give you real time translation for languages, face to face translation and contextual learning, or just have a chat with ai. And if your on android you get a nice home screen widget which gives you info of battery and allows you to turn off touch controls without entering the app which is handy as my fingers are like sausages and touching the sensors on the buds is unavoidable for me when putting them in so that is also a handy feature. And while I mention touch control you can adjust them to suit your own needs in the app. Battery 15 out of 10 (not a typo they are that good) Build quality 10 out of 10 Comfort is superior. Would not think twice about wearing them all day ( and with glasses on as well) Easy to use but feature rich. Would without doubt recommend to anyone wanting to purchase open ear headphones

Product broke after one month and Anker is refusing to replace or refund.

Found them to be as described and reviewed. Especially great for outdoor use ... Comfortable and great sound.
