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!

WOW! I have ordered and returned 4 sets of “Bone Conduction” Earbuds, 3 from Amazon and one directly from a Manufacturer, I JUST about gave up on the BC buds, as all of them sounded like Crap! ….. and then came The “SoundCores”! These buds surpass them ALL by Light Years! The only ones with an App to adjust the sound and other features, the only ones that are LOUD and Crystal Clear, and the only ones that have a THUNDERING Bass! Absolutely UNREAL! AND the only ones that have their own charging case just like regular earbuds! I LOVE these Buds! And they last almost 10 straight hours! I listen to a LOT of audiobooks, and I listen all day long and these babies outlast ME! I really can’t say enough about them! I’m getting my Daughter some for Xmas this year! You will NOT go wrong with these buds! They’re AWESOME!

Over the years I have used dozens of open ear headphones. I am not a fan of regular push in versions as I sweat a lot and they causing the to pop out, so I much prefer the ear hook versions, but so many of them or firm and stiff causing ear pain.The Aerofit 2 are very light weight. the control button are easy to locate for changing tracks and volume control. the noise cancellation feature works very good. I listen mostly to Hi Res music and the sound of the Aerofit 2 is great a true value for the price paid.The blue tooth range is is one of the best I have tried.I believe that the price is very good for this item on sale or not.

Update: I've had these a few months now. After my initial review, Soundcore reached out and offered a replacement for the 3 star review...eh, c'mon guys, if it was 1 star, I get it, but I still liked these. I've liked them even more and can safely say these are kind of my daily drivers, meaning, I wear these almost every day, even more than my over ear headphones. For that reason alone I'm bumping my star rating.That said, let's go back over what I've liked and not liked from these.Updated PROS:- Comfort is still great- Sound has gotten better since I played with the EQ non stop until I had it to, what I would consider, almost Audiophile level (but it's still missing something...which I'll get to.)- Price is great if you get them under 70.- Excellent for taking calls, especially in the car since my Bluetooth in my car died and these allow me to make crystal clear calls and still have environmental awareness.Updated CONS:- Even if I got the EQ to much better levels, boy, it wasn't easy. I realized their EQ compensates when you add more of something. For example, bumping up the Mids will likely take away much of the Bass, even if the low ends are pumped to 6. In that regard, you can get near Audiophile quality from these, with a balanced Bass, but if you love your bass along with rich mids and even highs, these are still not for you. That said, if all you want is bass and almost nothing else, their Signature Sound Profile is amazing for that.- Fit. Fit and Comfort don't necessarily go together. Comfort, I can wear these all day. FIT...meaning how the sound goes into your ears... it's OK...but could be miles improved here. For example, these have Vertical adjustment, so you can fit it on your hear better wherever your canal is on your body. But I have low hanging canals, so I use the lowest setting here, and they just feel ..loose. Not to mention, I have to turn the volume up since they rest outside of your ear ...I mean fine, that's why I got them, but I felt the AreoFit Pros protruded into your ears a bit better giving you IEM quality sound. These kind of don't. I would LOVE if they had an additional, forward articulation, like the Raycon Open Earbuds. Those have a fantastic design where you can adjust how far into your ears you may want to go, as well as up and down articulation. I'd love to see the 3rd generation of these have that. Heck, if Raycon had LDAC or anything, I'd probably just get those.Anyways, that's it. Some quips here and there, but still, solid earbuds, and a pair I now use daily.Original Post:I first started learning about Open Ear Earbuds (or Headphones) late last year. I have tinnitus and very wide ear canals that make it impossible to find good earbuds. Not just hard to find, but even many after market eartips that are large in diameter never seemed to work either, they're always coming lose and never forming to my canal (I also have a terrible time putting in earplugs at concerts, and I'm always left with more ringing at louder shows than I would like).So Open Ear headphones seemed like the way to go, and after research, I settled on the AeroFit Pros, the last generation of these. They have performed wonderfully. The sound is crisp, they handle LDAC and AptX Adaptive for Hi-Res Audio, and were very lightweight on my ears. The only thing I really ever had a gripe with was the fit, which was a little bulky and tiresome on my ears after a while. So when I saw the AeroFit 2's had come out, and read they might be more comfortable to wear, I had to get these.I've had these for almost 2 weeks now, having gotten them during the Black Friday sale for 79.99. Here are my initial thoughts, and yes I will be comparing them against the AeroFit Pros.HI-RESThe AeroFit Pros offer all the popular codecs, including Sony's LDAC Hi-Res codec and Snapdragon's AptX Adaptive codec. However the AeroFit 2's only offer LDAC as AptX is weirdly missing. Which is sad since my phone and other devices tend to offer this up. But it's fine, since you get high quality from LDAC anyways. Still, nothing for AptX, and the newest codec AptX Lossless, which only a handful of other headphones and smart phones offer anyways, such as the CLEER ARC II and 3, which offer both codecs for a slightly higher price.SOUNDThe sound from these are solidly good, but not great. I saw a couple of youtube videos, and even some reviews here, that say the bass is better on these than the AeroFit Pros. I guess?? Unfortunately you are losing some of the Mids and highs on these in favor of that Bass, which can make the quality of the drivers sound a bit too thick at times. By no means do they sound bad, btw, but they are a little less balanced than the AeroFit Pros. There is a Spatial Audio setting, like the Pros, but these are VASTLY improved. The Pros felt like you were listening to music out of a tin can, but these sound very balanced with Spatial settings on. They still don't always sound like music is coming from all around you, but then again, I guess these were more designed for Games and Movies, which...they're fine, it's fine. That said, they do get louder than their predecessor and you can tweak the EQ settings, too, but...well...THE APPThe App is the standard Soundcore app. You can do many things on this. You can switch sound profiles, personalize EQ settings or use presets, assign buttons, etc.. Bare bones app, pretty well designed in terms of most functionalities. I don't like their EQ...I never have. Soundcore's EQ kind of blows, tbh. It was a huge reason why is sent back the Q45's, because the sound from those headphones were...ehhhh. And the EQ didn't help any. Same here, except with these, the moment you touch the EQ, any and all of the signature bass disappears. I put the lower end all the way up, and I was STILL getting like half the bass as their "signature" sound...or even the "Bass booster" and "Volume Booster" which are 2 of their standard presets. The moment you EQ things yourself, the bass just goes missing. It's not to say you can't get a more balanced sound out of these, however, with some tweaking, just don't expect anything too crazy.CONTROLSThere are Touch controls on these instead of buttons like on the Pros. Honestly, I like the buttons more than the the touch controls, however, these are better touch controls than, say, the Beats Studio Buds or something. You can map them to your liking in the app. My only gripe is if I got like an itch or I need to adjust them, I can accidentally affect the volume, which I set to 1-Touch. But it's not terrible, and I've been wearing these to bed often, and unlike the beats or Sony's I once had, simply laying on the pillow sideways will not affect the touch controls.COMFORTFar and away, these are much more comfortable than the Pros. They are lighter weight, and, as stated above, often wear them to bed. They are still not exactly made for sleep, but are comfortable enough to not be too wearisome for side sleepers. The FitPros I could wear for like 2-3 hours, sometimes less, before ear fatigue set in. These don't give me ear fatigue, hardly at all. Plus, the buds themselves are articulated up and down so you can really hone in on the sound of it if your ears are misshapen like mine. If I had to say what the number 1 feature on these are, it's the comfort.CASEThere is a case, and it is basically the same size as the Pros. Nothing else to see here. It functions fine.CONCLUSIONAre these a worthy upgrade? In terms of comfort, YES, all day. But in terms of everything else? Um, yeah, not really. The sound is about the same as the last generation minus the heavier bass and slightly more muddied mids, and you lose AptX. Maybe there will be an AeroFit 2 "PRO" version that adds this back in? I don't know. But for over-ear design, these are some of the better ones you can buy, but maybe not $99 bucks worth. I would say wait until they go on sale.
