Best Open-Ear Headphones. Good value for the money.

Excellent sound good bass perfect only music lover

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

I love these ear buds for running. They stay in place and are super comfy, both with or without sunglasses. The over-hear hooks work really well to prevent any bouncing of the earbuds. They feel weightless, like not wearing ear buds at all. The sound quality is surprisingly good. I was initially skeptical about how good the sound quality could be on an open ear system, but it's quite good! For comparison, I have Bose noise cancelling headphones for home use, but I wanted something less expensive for running since the buds will get sweaty and pretty beat up. These buds sound great... and that's coming from a Bose snob:) The bass is good, and the sound, overall, has a "surround" feel that's not tinny at all. The ear buds aren't noise cancelling, nor are they supposed to be; they're designed to allow for some ambient sound to still be heard. I wanted to be able to listen for cars and other dangers while running. With the volume low, I can still hear ambient sound. However, when the music is cranked, it's harder to hear. A reasonable volume will allow for hearing cars, talking, barking, etc., but even when I have the volume quite loud, I can still detect cars coming... just barely. The price is very reasonable, and the ear buds look very nice (I got the brown so they'd blend in with skin tone and be barely visible). The battery lasts several days before I have to recharge. Plus, the case itself holds a charge, so that comes in handy too. I use these buds with Android (Moto Razr), so I can't speak to how they'd work with iPhone, but they work seamlessly with my Android. They auto pair as soon as a open the case. I haven't quite mastered all the controls yet, but I finally figured out today how to skip a song by double tapping the left bud. The buds can also be tapped to pause or control volume (again, I'm still messing around with all that!). The buds also communicate well with my SmartWatch (Samsung). Without even having to pair or set them up, they just started auto-communicating with my watch, which is nice because my watch will now auto-play my mile laps, splits, pace, total distance, completion, etc. into the earbuds so I can gauge where I am in my run. I am super happy with these ear buds and would 100% order these again in the future!

I got these with main priorities in mind - good sound quality, being aware of my surroundings while listening to music or taking calls, excellent comfort, excellent battery life, closed case. The Aerofit 2 ticks all the boxes. I've experimented with the V20i, V40i and now these. Overall these are the superior open earbuds of the 3. I was very impressed with the sound quality and punchiness of the V40i but those have poor battery life, and the open case is questionably stupid. The V20i is decent as an entry level but they aren't very comfortable for me, and fall behind in sound and battery life - I still got all my kids and my wife the V20i and they love them for their needs. Overall, to use for work to take calls and listen to lofi and classical music in the background, the Aerofit 2s are stellar. For watching TV, they are excellent despite the audio lag here n there (might have more to do with my 2020 Samsung QLED TV but something to keep in mind for any bluetooth headset). These are not something to bump bassy punchy hip hop or electronic music with any expectation to be anything close to in-earbud or sealed headphones, but they are still decent in this department. Classical music, jazz and more acoustic sounding music shine on these. These are perfect for a 45 year old like me that has kids running around the house, as being aware of what's going on is a high priority for me. As much as I love and value audiophile sound quality, having sound sealed into my ear is a detriment to my dad lifestyle. Plus I hate how itchy and waxy my ear canals gets with in ear earbuds (despite being the best for sound quality). And the battery life is amazing. These don't idle disconnect and don't really need to. I often have these on all day, going back n forth from my tv to my phone, listening to music, taking calls, watching tv in the evening, and still have 60% left the next day. These also charge up insanely fast. From 50% to 100% in the case, it would only take like 10-20 minutes! Simply amazing. As for comfort, I'll give them 7.5/10. Theyre decently comfortable for me but I wish they were more snug. I don't feel that much different from the V20i tbh but still a minor improvement I guess. I did feel the V40is were more comfortable.
