Soundcore AeroFit 2 by Anker Open Ear Earbuds, Open Ear Headphones, Earbuds

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 have tried many different types of ear buds. Not only these are pretty much the only catergory of ear buds I like, these are pretty much the only ones I have gotten to fit super comfortably. The fit is amazing, the sound is great, the battery life is great, the custom controls in the app is great, the sounds (like telling you connected,battery low, etc.) that it makes aren't annoying at all and they don't have an annoying voice!!! They weigh almost nothing and I often forget that I am wearing them. I work in pro audio, and I am definitely an audiophile. These sound awesome, especially when you consider how physically small they are. The treble is detailed and the mids are satisfactory. They don't have a ton of bass or overall punch, but is fine, especially on lower volumes (but I really care about my audio and this hardly ever bothers me). I selected a tuning that sounds very neutral to me in the app and I like it a lot. I will still reach for my good speakers and headphones, but I really like these as ear buds. Another note about the custom controls, you can set them up so that one tap doesn't do anything and I love that in the app. I have mine set to double tap either for play/pause, triple tap left/right for previous/next and tap and hold left/right for volume up and down. This makes the touch sensitivity not a problem for me at all, and it works pretty quickly. (except the volume, that takes a bit lol) The color is great, the case is great, the multipoint pairing works seamlessly, the mic is acceptable for taking calls on. I can easily side sleep with a good pillow with these on. A little pinch, but honestly not that uncomfortable for me at all. Only a few minor downsides: They fall out of the case if you drop them The bass isn't AMAZING Don't clean them with liquids, they won't dry and will break The price is a little bit more than I want to pay (a $70 MSRP would be killer, but $79 on sale is good) I broke this pair cleaning them with water (yeah that's on me) but not after holding up perfectly for 5 months going out and about, nights in my place and falling asleep, and taking them to a dusty summer camp. I absolutely love these, I highly recommend them, and these are my favorite ear buds by far.

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.

I've been down the 'Open Ear Design' rabbit hole for a while now, and there's two things you notice right away - since your ear canals are (hopefully) wide open... The sound is like a Bluetooth speaker invisibly floating in space that only you can hear. Pretty cool. Oftentimes, though, that magic Bluetooth speaker seems kinda gutless. Not so cool. Because of this limitation, I have tried to spend my way into something with genuine punch... And this one smokes them ALL. Regardless of price. I finally have the kind of bass response I can live with in a form factor I can reasonably forget about all day. They're on right now because taking them off makes no sense. The damn battery lasts 11 HOURS. PER BUD. No obstruction at all - I can use a Qtip with them on. It's fantastic. And the lows are REAL - usually open ear designs deliver low frequency sound the way sparkling water delivers the taste of fruit - barely enough to notice. Not these. Real fruit juice this time. Could they use a few extra features? Kinda yeah, especially for this price point. I also have a pair of Cleer's Arc 3 Sport open buds (every feature you can imagine but roughly 100 bucks more) - and I would really like to see the Shokz support LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, Dolby Atmos, and at minimum a more detailed EQ setup (5-band feels outdated, like a Sony Walkman from the 90's) - but the Shoks still sent those Arc 3's to the junk drawer by getting the basics absolutely PERFECT - fit, controls, sound quality are all in a class by themselves. If they ever roll out a Snapdragon Sound version of these with all the audio features and a case with a display, It's game over for the competition in the entire category. Multipoint works fine. It's a feature you didn't know you needed until you have it. I come home with these on (paired to phone), leave them on, then turn on the living room TV (also paired) and watch something too grownup for my little kids because I'm the only one hearing it. Dad Mode. Fit is impressive - they are comfortable, low profile, extraordinary secure (I can't imagine an activity outside of Jiu-jitsu or boxing that would dislodge them) and play nicely with both glasses and hats. Sound quality is excellent, and boy am I a snob about that. Actually, I would dive right into the custom EQ and draw a bass-biased Harman curve and tinker with it a little - then it really gets a chance to deliver. This little device uses a dual driver (essentially a speaker and subwoofer in miniature) setup so there's a lot more headroom before distortion creeps in - the arch enemy of open ear designs. In summary, yes these are $180 earbuds... and they are worth every dime, in fact punching above their weight at that cost. I recommend you believe the hype and spend the money. You won't regret it.

I've had 2 pairs of the ai assistant aero fit 2s. Hands down the none ai ones win!!!!!! For the none ai assistant pair go to #9 1st the reason I got two pairs was one I got the first pair on sale. Then I lost the first pair bought another. 2nd (with ai) They were stuck in Chinese no matter what I did. The app didn't help at all. 3rd the ai feature kinda sucked at what they were supposed to do. 4 (with ai) the language translation was wrong about 80% of the time. 5 (with ai) the response time was terrible if you got it to recognize it's name and responded. It would take 30s to get a weather report. 6 (with ai) the battery life was F***** terrible. For an over earbud with a big battery you would expect more the 6 hours of run time. Now they are stupid comfortable. I could sleep with them and I would wake up and put them in and forget there on me. But 6 hours of work most of the time not even playing anything. They would die.. I mainly just kept them on all day because I work with my hands and when I get a call from a customer or a co-worker or a boss it's nice just to have an earbud in instead of holding my phone to my head. So I would spend most of my days not even playing any music or doing anything with the earbud and it would still die. For the ai assistant pair. 7 (with ai) 90% of the d*mm time it would interrupt my conversation which is very distracting. It would think I called its name the blar out reconnect to the sound core app! Or in the case of my 2nd pair it would say it in Chinese 8 if you want the AI features you have to have the sound core app running 24/7 on your phone and it drains your phone battery fast! 9 for the 10$ cheaper none ai pair (my 3rd pair of aero fits) I'm on day 2!!! Same ear bud only took it out for showers (didn't even charge it in the case just put it on the counter got out and put it back on) not even a low battery warning yet. Now I'm not blaring music/media. Just have it in for the occasional tiktok, YouTube video or phone call. The case can charge the pair about 3 times to full. Like I said for light use I could maybe get 6hours out of the ai pair. I love over ear most of the time. It's nice to keep it in 24/7 and still hear whats around me. 10now for both (ai and not ai). For the fitment and comfortability 10 out of time I can put my headphones on over them for when I'm gaming don't even notice. The my quality is very good I can compromise on calls all the time. But do not eat when you're on a phone call. It will pick up every chew and crunch. Now there's not much that can be done with an over ear bud with sweat. Your sweat will clog up the ports and the mesh. I would say about two times a day while working on a hot day I have to wipe it off with my sweater or clean it off with a rubbing alcohol in a q-tip. But compared to most earbuds that you just put in your ear if you go for a run and you start sweating they will fall out over and over and over again. Never once had that issue with over here they stay on no matter what. Portability for men is great! Sorry for the ladies reading this but I know you guys don't really have pockets and it is a big case. Now if you have a purse not a big deal. But I could see it being an issue trying to put this big case into a pair of leggings pockets. 20 out of 10 for the none ai pair they sounds amazing and will buy again when I lose this pair. 2 out of 10 for the ai assistant pair Battery sucks. The ai assistant sucks. For 10-20$ not you get a worse experience.

1 star is harsh but gosh, I have so many issues with these that just kept piling on over time, I couldnt even do half a year with these earbuds. To start, I am coming off of Samsung Galaxy Live Buds that were about 5 years old at this point. They are the most comfortable buds I found that you dont physically stick a little piece in your ear, they just rest securely in your ear and I can use them while working out, sleeping etc and I figured these would be a good one since theyre highly rated, thousands of reviews, about 4.4* at the time of writing this, and frankly I cannot understand it. Every user has a different experience with products and I was one of those that were maybe unlucky, got minor issues with the product (that pile up) or just frankly dont know how to use these things. Comfort and Stability I found them to be a less comfortable than my previous buds, but they were fine, some discomfort with longer periods of use. There are 3 settings you can click the earbuds in to get a better fit. Secure enough, but Ive never been quite confident in them. Ive had them pop off during car rides, slip off during exercise (nothing rigorous) and even just laying sideways would result in one eventually coming out unless there is pressure on it (like laying your ear on a pillow). Frankly, minor things that I would mention to someone thinking about buying. Soundcore App Its fine, I was able to swap the short 1 press to be nothing and the long 1 press to be pause/play. Winner in my book, accidental touches arent as much of an issue with that. You can see the battery level of the case and the buds while connected via bluetooth but if the buds are charging in the case you cannot see their level unless you open it up. Dual connection is also very nice if you go between multiple devices. Sound Quality Its good, Im not expecting much from buds but these were better than my previous buds. However, over time Ive noticed that I had to jack up the volume to hear my music, to a point where it was maxed on my phone and I still felt it wasnt loud enough. Others could hear my music and I was sitting here trying to increase the volume still. I clean them routinely with isopropanol wipes along with the case but I guess they got super gunked up in the speaker portion. Ill probably end up taking these to an ultrasonic cleaner to bring it back to life in terms of sound. Lets get to the things that resulted in my HATING these things. Charging Starting with the charging, the buds just lay in the case and there are two pins that make contact with the buds and charge them. Great, we've seen them plenty of times, however, numerous times I have pulled my earbuds from the case and come to 1 fully charged bud, 1 dead bud. Why? I dont know for sure. I can only assume that the space in the case is so tight between the two earbuds that putting one in the case might knock the other off the contacts (the wire that wraps around your ears touch between the two earbuds while in the case) resulting in a non charging bud. You have a light on the case that shows a bud got placed in but thats it. You would think it could be like, a half LED light that says, the left bud is in, or the right, or a full LED bar if both are in, but it doesnt show that on the case. You can only hope that BOTH are charging. It has happened so many times to me that I will push down on the area that makes contact to ensure they are charging. I sometimes use 1 earbud at a time and swap, so swapping to a dead one is pretty frustrating, but equally as frustrating after putting my earbuds in, case in the bag and realizing one is dead. Connectivity The equally frustrating problem I have is connectivity with the earbuds. My morning while Im trying to get out of the door is throwing the buds in my ear, case in the bag (dont want it in my pocket) and Im out the door before I get my music or podcasts going. Once Im on the street and get it going do I notice sound only coming out of one ear....but didnt we just go over this? No, separate issue. The bud did not connect with my phone properly, it could be fully charged and have this problem come up. How do you fix this? Well just place the non-working bud back in the case (that you threw in your bag or left at home) and pop it back in your ear and problem solved. Dont have the case with you? Tough, you cannot use it. Easily solvable? Sure but why do I need to do this, I dont even have this issue with 3 dollar Woot buds. I really wanted to like these, have really tried to give it a chance and tried to work with the issues I have with it but it is such a bummer to spend this much money on this type of experience. I am happy for those who have these and love them, but good lord, these brand new buds have taken the backup position and even made me think "Do I need to listen to music/podcasts for the next couple of hours"? It has been a frustrating experience using these. I have been using my Galaxy Live buds again, dont have charging or connectivity issues with those, and they stay in my ear better and sound just fine after 5 years, so why couldnt these do it for me for even 1 year? Extremely frustrated with this purchase.

I feel like I already wrote a review, but if so, this is an update on my March 2025 purchase. I got the AeroFit 2 in March 2025 (in blue, if that matters). I love it! Great battery life (if I listen all day long to audiobooks, YouTube, etc, they last about 10-12 hours before fully draining the battery). For ease of use of the earbuds and the app, they get 5 stars, too. I like being able to set different options on the left and right earbuds, and change the volume profile to optimize for spoken word vs music. And it's fantastic at blocking out noises for the person on the other end of a phone call! We have a very vocal cat, and no one can hear him. Here's why it's actually getting a 3-star review: 1) After about 3 months the left earbud volume is stuck on the lowest setting. Even with volume cranked all the way up, I can barely hear anything. It's not my hearing. I checked other earphones and have no trouble hearing on the left ear. Full disclosure, I did drop the case a couple times and the earbuds spilled out both times (after which I put stickers on the case to make it more grippy), so maybe the left bud got damaged. 2) Intermittently, when I pull the earbuds out of the case, the left one doesn't activate. I have to put it back in the case and close it, then open it and take the earbud out again. It always works the second time. Probably the same thing that affects the left volume is causing the inability to turn on. 3) This one is nitpicky because I'm a woman with long hair and like to wear earbuds all the time. The touch-control on the earbuds are super sensitive. When I have wet hair, I have to turn off the controls (through the app) because the brush of my wet hair triggers the controls constantly, making volume fluctuate, pausing playback, etc. My partner also has a pair of these (it was either get him a pair or he would steal mine) from April 2025, his still work perfectly, he would give them a 5-star review. And, if it matters, I'm buying another pair to replace mine and I'll keep the defective set as a backup.

Super easy to wear.. forget I have them on. Very good sound. God range and holds excellent charge. They do not slip or slide and the tilt feature gets them right where they need to be. If I had to nitpick a flaw it would be because I lost a pair doing it. Dropped case, no clasp or clip, headphones popped out unnoticed. Parts are not available. So bought refers set and use that charger. Highly Recomended

First time trying some earphones like this and i thoroughly enjoyed using them first time today. Took them to the gym felt comfortable and sound quality was great plus still heard my surroundings. Its like the weirdest thing at first but it makes sense best value for money I've spent on something like this! And the case is a perfect size dont know why people complain about it! Overall 100% recommended!

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

The sound is very good and it is very easy to transfer and the most important thing that it is not getting down for my ear

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 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.
