Anker - Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro Dual-Form Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Open-Ear and Active Noise Cancellation Seamless Switch - Black

Battery life is strong. Have only had to charge the case once in the few weeks I’ve had this. The actual earbuds themselves last for several hours as well though I have not used them to depletion to give an exact range. Sound quality is pretty good though not incredible. I’m no expert but these definitely do not hit as hard as I would like them to in either in ear/open. Will continue to mess w eq though and see what works best Stays on ear but could be more secure for more intense running/boxing/etc. Unfortunately one I dropped and got crushed which i’m not blaming on the product In ear is actually pretty uncomfortable for me. I was hoping the tips would be more squishy but they feel like a softer/silicone materialed and larger version of standard apple earbuds. Starts to hurt my ears after a few minutes so i tend to just use open ear Overall good purchase, I like the option to adjust closer to my ear drums and i often forget they’re there in open ear but don’t enjoy wearing them as in ear, the sound is good but could be better. Price is fair when discounted

I have been using the Anker Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro earbuds for about a week, and I am extremely pleased with the sound and performance. The clever, hybrid design really delivers on the dual form use that Anker is promising. They not only sound great, but are also comfortable to wear. My favorite benefit of using the open ear design is that I can still hear what is going on around me. What I usually do in those situations is only wear one earbud, which of course compromises the sound. There are so many things that I like about them so please read on for more details. Setup is fast and easy. All it takes is downloading the Soundcore App and pairing the earbuds to your phone. Using the App is not required, but recommended. The App provides a high level of customization and control. The App is intuitive and provides in App explanations for most of the control selections. Transforming the earbuds from open ear to closed ear mode is done mechanically by rotating the earbud on a hinge. With some practice this can be done without removing the earbud from the ear. I sometimes wear one earbud in the open ear configuration and another in the ANC configuration. Doing this does however disable ANC processing. As I indicated above, I love the open ear configuration for many different situations, and appreciate the flexibility to adjust based on my environment and needs. Another thing I love about these earbuds is how comfortable they are. I was initially concerned that the ear loops would be uncomfortable, but found that the opposite was true. By securing the earbuds, the ear loops actually increase my comfort. So much so that I sometimes forget that I am wearing them! The sound quality is excellent in both modes. Of course there is more ambient sound penetration in the open ear mode. In the ANC mode the ear canals are nearly sealed and the ANC processing does a formidable job of blocking out noise. Naturally the ANC mode offers the best quality sound dynamics. The sound quality of these earbuds, in my opinion, rivals most other reference quality earbuds. The App offers a fully customizable 8 band EQ that has a few different presets and individually customizable settings for ANC and open ear mode. I highly recommend testing out the various EQ options to find a level that meets your individual preference. Everyone has different ear sizes and adjusting the EQ can really make a difference to your individual hearing. Thus far the battery life has been excellent. I have used it extensively every day which consists of putting it in and out of the case a few times a day, and leaving it in the case overnight. I did not need to charge the case for nearly a week and the case was still near 50 percent charge. The case itself is larger than most other earbud cases, which is due to the ear loop needing to fit inside the case. The magnets in the earbuds and the case are quite strong and nearly attach themselves. The Anker Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro will be the earbuds that I take on the go. The hybrid design makes them perfect for active lifestyle use. The excellent sound quality also allows these earbuds to be used for critical listening. I highly recommend them and will be using them extensively.

These are the best open ear headphones I've ever own I just wish me ears were bigger in ANC mode they don't stay in.

I got these for my wife. She is one of those people that actually hates ear buds. For years, she complained about every ear bud she tried, even the “fruit” ones! I think she just has ears with canals that are smaller and just struggle to accommodate a good solid fit. I got these earbuds for her, hoping that they would fit her ears. Typical ear buds do not stay in their small ear canals. She has been very frustrated on planes and during exercise because none of the ones she has had in the past would stay in her ears. These, however, are amazing! They mount over the ear so they attach better with part of them behind the ear that anchors them in there. They also uniquely mount and then “slide” down over the ear canal. This is a great option and ensures a great fit They have variable positions with the options of open ear and ANC. When in the ANC position she could not hear me talking to her several feet away. They are very comfortable and she can still wear them with her glasses. The sound is very clear and when she is talking on the phone, you cannot tell that she is using them. Sound configuration options are handled in the app. I have included a couple of pics. You can turn on Intelligent Noise Cancelation and also Wind Noise Reduction. When you put both on, INC is activated automatically if its selected. There are also various Sound Effect options such as their Classic Soundcore Signature, Balanced, Bass Booster, Volume Booster, Classical and more. My wife, not being the huge audiophile (lol) had some trouble distinguishing between these but in my listening, I did notice some distinct improvements and differences between the modes. Connecting them to her Bluetooth on her iPhone was quick and easy. The app is very useful showing features as correct wearing positions, controls and sound effects. There is also a gaming mode. She is thrilled with these, and battery life seems good as well as they charge quickly with the nice case and USB-C included cable. While these are not my primary choice, you have to understand that sometimes things like not only the sound quality and options matter, but the comfort, ease of use and user happiness matter. For that, they get 4 out of 5 stars and especially if you have the same issues with in-ear earbuds.

The Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro earbuds have been an absolute treat to wear. I've been on the open-ear earbud train for about the last two years and honestly haven't looked back. It originally started because my wife is allergic to the silicone earbuds, which led us to try alternatives to traditional earbuds.. Since then, I've become a huge fan of open-ear earbuds because of how comfortable they are for long listening sessions, as I tend to get ear fatigue from in-ear designs The one downside to open-ear earbuds has always been travel. I travel for work often, and am on a plane many times a year, which is always when I regret having open earbuds. These help bridge that gap, where I can actually plug my ears and drown out the noise of the plane. I love the flexibility of being able to wear these in open ear form throughout the day, where I almost forget I’m wearing them, but still have the benefit of in-ear when needed. These sound fantastic in either mode, but obviously in ear always has a richer tone and better base. The ANC performance is actually pretty great. I wasn’t expecting much with ANC earbuds, and I didn't fully appreciate how effective it was until I started wearing them out to my hot tub at night. The first time I switched these into ANC mode, I suddenly realized just how loud the hot tub actually was because so much of that noise disappeared. For earbuds, the noise cancellation is remarkably effective. One area where I've had mixed results is phone calls. I've used these for five or six calls so far, and on pretty much every call the person on the other end mentioned having difficulty hearing me. I've tried both the open-ear and in-ear modes to see if one performed better than the other, but so far I haven't noticed much difference. I'm still hoping there's a setting buried somewhere in the app that I haven't found yet, but at this point the microphone has been the biggest weakness of the earbuds for me. I’ve been finding myself switching to my other earbuds when calls come in, which is a bit disappointing. I also somehow keep activating the spatial audio head-tracking feature. Every time I think I've turned it off, I manage to trigger it again. That's probably more user error than product flaw, but at this point it’s become kinda funny because I can’t seem to get away from it. Battery life has been excellent so far. I've used them extensively over the last several days and haven't had a single concern about running out of power. That's not surprising coming from Anker. I've owned a lot of Anker products over the years, and battery performance has always been one of their strengths. If I have one complaint beyond the call quality, it's the charging case.. it’s enormous. It’s easily the largest earbud charging case I've ever owned. I included comparison photos in my review because seeing it next to other earbud cases really highlights just how large it is. It’s definitely not pocket friendly. Overall, I think Soundcore came up with a genuinely innovative design here. If you're already an open-ear earbud fan but occasionally find yourself wishing you had a traditional set of noise-canceling earbuds for travel, think you’ll be very happy.
