Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] Absolutely blown away by these - I've tried all types of solutions for earbuds that let me stay aware of my surroundings and these are the first to actually exceed my expectations. I'm genuinely amazed how full these sound without forming a seal. They're so comfortable and sound so good they've replaced all my other earbuds, even when I'm just sitting around at home. They're lighter than alternatives from Bose and Shoks and at this price I cannot recommend them enough. Great battery life, multipoint, and a companion app that doesn't suck are just the cherries on top.

These are the best non studio earphones I've ever purchased. High quality sound, extensive battery life, comfortable, and convenient.

These are my favorite earbuds to use on the daily, I was hesitant on buying at first and then they went on sale for $99 which I felt was reasonable. But all around these are really great, super comfortable to the point of not realizing I am wearing, of course it would depend on your ear but overall the comfort is 10/10.. sound is also great, I wear these at the gym and they stay in tact even during hard movement sessions. I had the original Powerbeats for a long time but upgraded to these and do no regret.

[Employee of bestbuy] First time putting them on I love bass and was let down. I thin read how i am supoose to wear them and then went to app and adjusted the sound and have slept in them every night since purchase. I love the comfort and i love listening to rain when im sleeping. They are comfortable and wonderful sound. They have a long battery life and the distance you can be away from your phone or device even with walls is amazing.

The Anker Soundcore Aeroclip earbuds are the smallest Anker makes. The sound is excellent and for the most part are very comfortable. I have very small ears and the part that fits into the external ear is still too big for one of my ears and after an hour or so, it’s uncomfortable for me. For the average person, these would be ideal. They do a great job of staying in place as well.

These AeroClip open-ear earbuds have been a great everyday pick so far. The open-ear design is the best part because it lets outside sounds in while still keeping music and calls clear, which feels safer and more natural than sealed in-ears. The fit is secure and comfortable enough to wear for long stretches, and the mic quality has been surprisingly good on calls, with people on the other end saying they can hear me clearly. The only downside was the shipping information after placing the order, since tracking details were not updated right away and I had to contact the seller to get accurate status. That said, Anker’s support responded promptly with updated tracking, and the package arrived as expected. Overall, very happy with the headphones themselves and would recommend them if you want open-ear comfort with solid sound and call performance

Great! First and foremost is the excellent battery life. People can hear me well without a bunch of background noise. Also, I can listen to podcast or music and still hear whats going on around me in a construction environment.

Absolutely love these headphones. I could not have chosen a better product. I wear them literally all day and I forget that they are on majority of the time because they are lightweight. They are not all in my ear canal. I am able to hear outside noise if someone was talking to me and I am still able to enjoy my music also. Whoever I am on the phone with they are unable to hear my noise in the background therefore the noise cancellation is working great. I highly recommend these.

Anker clip on earbuds works great, I connect to 2 phones and able to use simultaneously without disconnecting either. Sound quality is great.

Truth be told I’ve been looking at these type of Bluetooth for about three years. I saw a pair on sale for Black Friday and I picked them up when I heard the sound and the quality all I could do was act a fool because they sound so good then I went and bought the sound course that sound even better

Good all the way around the only thing i dont like is when i take them off the music does not pause. But when on a call 10/10 it cancel surrounding sound which make it easy for the other person to hear you!

I would give it five stars. But the left earbud is not quite as long as the right. I did buy the warranty. So I will probably replace with a new pair. But fit is good. It took a little bit to get used. They never fall off like traditional pairs.

I never thought it is going to be that good, the sound is nice quality and has a nice bass it is surprise me a lot for be open ear.

Excellent sound quality that enable you to hear ambient sounds while wearing them.

It seems that earclip-style headphones are having their day; everyone seems to be making a pair. These headphones can be a great balance between wearing comfort, great sound and long battery life, all while maintaining situational awareness by not fully blocking your ears or requiring a “transparent” mode to be turned on. The requisite charging case is relatively small and easy to use. Overall, these buds provide all the basics at a great value. Highlights: * Comfortable. * Good sound. * Easy to access touch controls. * Long battery life. * Easy to use charging case. * Fast charging. * Nice app integration. * Multi-point connectivity. Room for Improvement: * No wireless charging. * Left/right differences matter but are hard to tell apart. * App is available and useful but barely mentioned. * No wear sensor. Setup: Like most current headphones, a phone app is not required but can enable or expose additional features. This also applies to the initial setup. The buds ship in the case with a protective sheet to keep them off and not charging. First pull out both buds and remove that protective sheet, then put the buds back in the case and they’ll power on in pairing mode. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings, look for the AeroClip device and select it to pair. That’s all you need to do for basic setup. You should probably also charge them up to full before use. The case does not wirelessly charge so you’ll need to plug it in occasionally to charge things up. A short cable is provided in the box but you’ll need your own USB charger. The app isn’t mentioned at all in the included documentation and only gets a very small call-out on the bottom corner on the back of the box. You don’t need the app to set up or use the AeroClips, but the app does provide a bunch of useful things. If you want to use the app with the AeroClips after they have already been paired to your phone, you can manually search for and install the Soundcore app from your phone’s app store. Once installed, choose to add a device within the app. Provided the AeroClips are already paired to your phone, the app will find them and add them to your list of devices. If you started with the App and your buds aren’t yet paired, the app will inform you to pair them with your phone’s Bluetooth settings first and then come back to the app for the rest. Once the AeroClips are paired and are added to the app, you can do the usual stuff; apply available firmware updates, check battery levels, reassign control taps, adjust the EQ, etc.. Usage: The earclip style of headphones is designed to be comfortable to wear and provide good sound while still allowing for situational awareness by not completely blocking your ears. There is no need for a “transparency” mode since they always allow ambient sounds to mix in naturally. None have noise cancellation for the sounds they play, either, but buds like this apply noise cancellation to the microphones used for voice calls so the other end can hear you more clearly. The case for the AeroClips isn’t the smallest I’ve seen but it is compact enough and has rounded edges that make it easy to hold or fit in a pocket. it’s a vertical design with a flat bottom that stands up on a desk and has a suitable weight balance such that it remains stable even when the lid is open. Flip the lid open and the two buds are easily accessible unlike some other headphones that are difficult to grab and remove from their case. Each bud is clearly labeled with Right and Left designations for wearing and the magnets that hold them in the case prevent you from putting them in the wrong spots. There is a status light bar that indicates the charge level of the buds (when inserted) and the case (when empty). It uses light patterns rather than colors to indicate status which is handy for anyone who is color blind. Remove the buds from the case and clip them on your ears following the Left and Right designations for best sound due to the placement of the openings on each bud. They are very lightweight and comfortable, at least for me. If they move around too much for you, small rubber covers are provided in the box to improve stability. They will still fit in the case with these covers, but it’s a tighter fit in there with the covers on. To control your phone from the buds, you can touch anywhere on the loop of either bud. The entire surface area of each lop is touch sensitive so it’s easy to find when you’re wearing them. The defaults are a double-tap to play/pause so positioning them won’t trigger anything accidentally. You can change the tap settings in the app and even turn taps off completely if you don’t want accidental touches to do anything. Keeping in mind that these buds intentionally allow you to hear outside sounds and don’t have noise cancellation, they sounded really good to me. The default EQ setting is quite balanced and sounded good to me with my typical genres of New Wave, Pop, Electronic and Jazz. I tend to wear standard earbuds with ANC when I want to be enveloped in the music, but otherwise I prefer open-ear buds like these for nearly all other situations so I can easily blend music with the sounds around me. Battery life has been amazing with an average of 8 hours of music for the buds and the case adds three full charges for a total of around 32 hours of life before having to plug the case in to charge it and the buds back up. But if you do forget, a quick 10 minute charge will get you around 3 hours of listening. Connectivity was quick and stable with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. With Multipoint connectivity, you can pair to two device at the same time and easily switch between which one you’re listening to. I connected it to my exercise bike and my phone so I can listen to classes on the bike and easily answer phone calls if needed without changing my earbuds. Speaking of using them with my bike, they are IPX4 rated which means they are safe for light rain and workouts but shouldn’t be worn when swimming. Phone calls were clear and easy for both myself and the other person to hear even in challenging environments. The buds do a good job of filtering out those noises on the outbound (my voice) side but these are intentionally open-ear headphones so background noise will mix in on your side. Depending on how noisy it is on your side, the buds may make you sound a tad less natural (more robotic) but still clear enough that the other side can understand what your’e saying. There is no wear sensor, so the buds do not automatically pause the music or go into standby (low-power) when one (or both) are unclipped from your ears. While this isn’t a deal-breaker for most, it would be a welcome addition to further extend the already good battery life. Overall: Soundcore really should mention the App more by including it in the setup instructions, but it’s not required for setup or daily use. The case doesn’t have the convenience of wireless charging but USB-C is prevalent and easy enough to find when it’s time to juice up your buds. They are comfortable to wear and the optional app covers the basics well. If situational awareness, good sound and long battery life are priorities for you, these AeroClip earbuds won’t disappoint!

These are my first clip-on style ear buds and I found them very comfortable and easy to wear, though I imagine that may vary from person to person as everyone’s ears vary. They sound great, with little sound leak. For the right uses cases, they are my go-to pair. — Design: I’ve never explored the relatively new clip-on form factor before, so I was a bit hesitant at first. Would I look odd wearing them? - They do make me feel like I would stand out or draw a few eyes in public, which I don’t want, but their design is understated and modern. They give a slight impression of bulky earrings, or something out of Cyberpunk at first, but I’ve grown more accustomed to the look the more I wear them. I see this as similar to how people initially thought of other wireless earbuds until they became so mainstream and everyone got used to them. For me, I use noise-cancelling sets with sound isolation when trying to get work done when out in public, but for home use, I’ve enjoyed using these for better awareness and more passive, background listening. They’re great for gardening or working out, for example. The only downside is that their form factor does not work well with safety earmuffs. Putting them on is fairly easy - you’ll definitely want to take SoundCore’s advice and slide them down from the top of your ear. Sliding in from the side of the sensitive lob area will give an annoying pinch sensation. I found that I could put them on easily, but occasionally had some issues with one of my ears resisting or folding out of the way. For me, the default clip worked best, so I don’t know how the padding elements change comfort. Without them, I felt only minimal pressure on the back of my ear for support. I could easily wear these for about 90mins to 2 hours without feeling the need to nudge them for comfort. This is significant because I had a pretty severe sunburn on my ears as a kid, which caused nerve damage. My ears are more sensitive now as a result, yet I could still manage these. They also stayed on very well. Earbuds that rely on friction within the ear canal have never worked for me. I almost always knocked them out when working outside, with gloves on, etc. These inherently just don’t have that problem. They’re now my favorite set for situations like this. Despite their thin band, they feel well built and durable… and you can’t go wrong with their black color scheme and slight, matte shimmer. While their tap-based interface is somewhat simple, I found the wide rings easy to feel for when needing to pause or advance my music. Unlike other offerings, these do not automatically pause when removed. You’ll find that hitting pause becomes necessary at times. Dropping them into their charging case is also super effortless, with easy alignment. The case itself is compact and secure - I have no complaints. — Sound Quality & Battery life: Default sound is fairly balanced, leaning slightly into bass. I had wondered if people might be able to hear my music from close distances, but I was told that they could only tell that anything was playing at around 3 ft away. This music is well directed into your ears and just about no where else. For the best sound, I usually listened at around 50%-75% volume. Playing at higher volumes obviously starts to negate the benefits of being able to hear your surroundings. Despite their open-air design, I still needed to turn them down a bit to engage in conversations without feeling like I was distracted or drowning them out. Battery life has been great. I’ve never had to recharge them during a listening session. I haven’t been able to measure this, but seem last (virtually) forever on a single charge. — App: I found Soundcore’s app to be refreshingly modern and easy to navigate. You can easily change the sound profile, or customize EQ to your liking. While the AeroClips default to pause and progressing music by tapping either earbud, you can customize each side to do other actions independently - like changing volume on just the right earbud, for instance. — Summary Despite my reservations as to whether I’d be able to pull off wearing these or not, I really like them. Their build quality, sound and battery life are all great. For my ears, they’re comfortable and I don’t mind wearing them for hours at a time. I find myself appreciating their unique and minimal look, though I’d say the black model looks slightly more masculine, if only due to the bold loop and style. *** The Good Stuff: - Default sound quality & battery life. - Build quality and easy to use case. - Great fully open ear design. - Stay on great during activities, don’t get knocked askew when using tap-interface. *** The Less than Good Stuff: - Form factor is uncommon and may be polarizing. Earring-like look may not be for everyone. - Does not auto-pause music when removed from ear.

If you work in an office environment and you like to listen to your favorite music or podcasts while staying aware of your surroundings, you should give the Soundcore AeroClip earbuds a try. If you’re an active person or an outdoor enthusiast who likes to take your music along and maintain situational awareness, those headphones are also for you. If you’re constantly on the phone and find traditional earphones uncomfortable, make sure you get these Soundcore AreoClip earbuds. My first impression right out of the box is how light they feel. With their clip-on shape, they gently slide from the top of the ears and seat gently but solidly in the ear canal. Attachable ear grips are provided for those who are thin around the ear canal. Downloading the Soundcore app and establishing a connection only took a couple of minutes. The touch controls can be customized and they respond well but require a solid double or triple tap depending on the desired result. I’ve been enjoying these earbuds a lot not only for their great comfort but for their outstanding Bluetooth connectivity. I started using them at work where, for 10 hours a day, I keep them in my ears without realising their presence. While working, I listen to podcasts and music and jump in and out of phone calls. I like that I can stay aware of my environment which makes communication with colleagues easier. I did a few cardio workouts with numerous sudden head movements and they effortlessly stayed put. With an IPX4 rating, sweat and an occasional splash of water should not be an issue. The Bluetooth connectivity is exceptional for these small earbuds. At home, I would often leave my phone in the house and venture into my backyard at close to 50 feet and there would be no signal weakening. Those Soundcore AeroClip earbuds are ‘air conduction’ headphones as opposed to ‘bone conduction’ which I thought they were. They have decent power and can play loud enough to muffle a good deal of the outside noise. The calls are clear and sound natural. I mostly listen to podcasts, but from time to time I switch to music. Playing music is no high-fidelity sound suitable for audiophiles, but it is of good quality and can play quite loud. The bass is lacking though, no matter the equalizer presets. You can also customize the sound which I often do to good results. The battery lasts all day and I usually wear those earbuds for close to 10 hours a day. Recharging them through the case is quick which is a great positive. As stated in the beginning, the Soundcore AeroClip earbuds fulfill some specific needs quite well if you’re looking for headphones that deliver good audio sound while providing the safety of situational awareness, or if you’re an active outdoor or indoor person looking for comfortable headphones that can be worn all day while staying in touch with your surroundings. They won me over with their simplicity and good and reliable performance.

I use earbuds fairly often and I have quite a collection of them but these are my first open ear earbuds and they are definitely different. I found them as comfortable as most ear buds that cover your entire ear opening but they have a slightly different feel when seated. And because they are fully open they do allow in more noise so I found myself having to crank up the volume vs the levels that I would normally listen at. I found the touch sensors took some time to get used to because they are located on the support arm of the earbuds. Pros: - Lightweight and secure when properly fitted with the right sized ear grip - The audio quality is good for such a small earbud - IPX4 rating for working out and handling sweat - Can connect to two devices via Bluetooth Cons: - You need higher volume levels than normal especially if it’s a noisy environment. When increasing the volume you lessen the ability to be “aware” of your surroundings. - No auto pause when one earbud is removed - The touch controls on the earbud aren’t the most responsive - Tone only indicators for connecting, control input etc – no voice notifications - No Mute functionality when on a phone call Performance: The ear buds provide good sound quality and the Soundcore app allows you to select presets or you can customize your own equalizer settings. The touch controls on the earbuds can be somewhat problematic until you get used to them. The entire outer ring is touch sensitive so if you happen to start adjusting them while they are playing the probability of you double or triple tapping the surface is fairly good and that causes issues. Secondly because you are tapping the surface of the ring that supports where the earbud sits it can cause the earbud to shift its location on your ear. I found that it took some time to get used to the controls because the mounting and touch surface are so different from my other earbuds. Lastly because the ear buds do not block out any environmental noises I found that I had to raise the volume of the earbuds which I wasn’t fond of doing. In the gym they play music in overhead speakers and I realized anytime I was near one I had to increase the volume. I would think this would also be the case for anyone who uses these in any crowded or noisy environment. I understand that these are meant to allow you to be “aware” of your surroundings but what happens is you need to increase the volume to overcome the outside noises which then defeats the ability to be aware. The Soundcore app allows you to pick the functionality of the touch controls on the left and right earbud. Fit and Feel: Since these earbuds don’t fill the ear opening they seem to be less noticeable to me when I wear them even when exercising. The earbuds clasp to the ear and they come with extra ear grips to help them fit tightly. I ended up trying all three sizes and ended up with the medium size which supplied enough stability without any discomfort.

I was REALLY skeptical about these AeroClips when I first saw them, and I was even more skeptical once I tried them on. There was no way these were going to be comfortable, fit, and hold up through rigorous activity, right? Wrong. It looks like these may be the new trend in active ambient sound earbuds as I'm already seeing a lot of similar designs all over the place, but Anker is an innovator in small tech gadgets at great prices and they've got a solid design with these AeroClips. I'll start with what I don't like and why I took off a star, since the negatives are relatively minor but a big enough issue that I took a star off. 1. The tapping responsiveness is REALLY bad. I have a lot of earbuds with capacitive touch controls and quick taps to start/stop/skip and these are easily the worst and least responsive. I don't know if this is something Anker can fix with a firmware update, maybe the controls are asleep to save battery? But tapping on the bridge portion as recommended is just soooo miss rather than hit for me. I really hope this gets fixed in a firmware update. 2. These are NOT Active Noise Cancelling or even sound blocking earbuds. That means you get a LOT of ambient sound while using these. I wouldn't say you get all of it, because while you are using them the audio especially if playing music will drown out a lot of the ambient noise. Also, if someone is talking to you, you won't be able to hear them until they get within a few feet of you. Lack of ANC and passthrough means these are pretty poor on flights or even noisy environments, like mowing the grass. This can also be a positive for people who do want to be able to hear ambient noise however, like if you are at work and don't want people having to come up to you and yell to get your attention, or if you have kids or young children where you want to be able to hear them or a baby monitor etc. As for the good, the comfort is actually outstanding. They are counter-balanced and kind of hang off your ear with multiple contact points, plus they are super lightweight, so you can wear them for hours at a time without your ears or ear canal getting tired. The earbuds don't actually fit inside your ear canal, they kind of hover over top of it so they don't fully snug into your ear. This really takes some getting used to when putting them on bc your instinct is to wedge them into your ear hole but that's now how they're meant to be worn. Also, how you position the earbuds around the perimeter of your ear will vary greatly by person. The instructions show wearing them at around 2pm or 4pm if your ear is like a clock kind of like those ear bands that were popular in the 90s, for me they are closer to 5pm or even 5:30pm. This is going to vary person to person how much distance there is between your ear hole and the edge of your outer earlobe. There is the very real possibility these do not fit you if you have a long distance to your outer ear. The sound is actually excellent and doesn't require you to blast it at 100% to be able to hear. That's probably the coolest part about these headphones, they sound great and the design works. The only down side is in a quiet environment, you will get some audio leakage so others around you will be able to hear some noise coming from your headsets. Battery life is good, I was mowing the lawn and doing yard work with these for about 4 hours and battery was still at 30% while listening to music. Charging in the case gives you 4-5 full charges as most of these cases will do, which is great if you don't want to have to charge the case every time you use the earbuds, especially if you only use them for a few hours per session. You can connect multiple devices at once with BT multi-point which is an expected feature now on wireless headphones, which allows you to connect to your phone and also your laptop for example, and the earbuds will tell you how many devices you are connected to. The SoundCore App is clean and simple to use, tells you battery life, simple equalizer with presets and also has a Find Device function which is new on a non-Apple device for me. Overall these are a great earbud for using while working out, doing work, or even in the office. They also don't look goofy as I thought they might, certainly less odd looking than the stalks that come out of Apple headsets in my opinion and also not as bulky in the ear as some of the in-ear wireless earbuds. They're also not as large as Beats Pro or headsets that have full behind the ear wings. Getting used to putting them on will take some time but I'm getting faster and really enjoying these headsets, I just hope they improve the touch controls in a future firmware update.

I have used a number of different types of listening devices including, traditional headphones both wired and wireless, in-ear buds and over ear buds. I have never used a clip-on ear bud so I had no idea how this was going to work. First, the buds come with a charging case that uses a USB-C cable which was included. I plugged them in to charge and they were fully charged in 30 minutes, however I don't know how charged they were but subsequent charging has always been very quick. Once charged I pair them up with my phone and everything went flawlessly. The buds come with additional covers that help adjust to different ear types. Attaching to the ear is simple but where you attach them will also make adjustments to the sound. Sound quality was very good but probably not as rich as in-ear or over the ear styles. One huge advantage I see with these as opposed to noise cancelling headphones is for those folks who want to hear their music but also want the ability to hear some surrounding noise. Battery life seems to be very good! Worked in the yard for almost an entire day and they were on the entire time.
