AeroClip (A3388)

[These right here are probably favorite piece of tech](https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-AeroClip-Open-Ear-Headphones-Open-Ring/dp/B0DLGCHL8M) So comfortable have them on almost all day and forget they're even there. They stay put during runs and workouts and sound is decent enough

Soundcore AeroClip. I have not found any earbuds that work for me. The things shift position slightly with any movement, and all bass disappears. The AeroClips are different. They do not rely on precise positioning. No noise cancellation though.

I can't do regular earbuds as they never stay in and/or start to hurt right away. I discovered open-ear earbuds this year and they've been amazing. There's tons of them on Amazon from various brands. I went with the Soundcore Aeroclip. I've been using Soundcore headphones for years so I knew the sound quality would be good. Keep in mind that these kinds of earbuds won't be fully noise-cancelling simply due to the way they clip on and don't cover or go in your ear. They're super comfortable tho and I can wear them for hours.

I have the Soundcore AeroClip and it’s not that I like them better than the in-ears, they’re just different. I also have AirPods Pro 2 as well as several other brands of TWS earbuds, plus I have a collection of wired IEMs, and I like all of them. I use the open buds when I want to be completely aware of my surroundings and/or when I’m in a quiet space and simply don’t need noise isolation/noise cancellation. I tend to use the open buds more for listening to audiobooks, YouTube videos and such rather than music, but the AeroClips are good enough for music listening as well if I choose to use them for that.

I love the Soundcore AeroClip. They also have a cheaper version, the C50i (currently $40 on Amazon), but I haven’t tried those.

I have the Soundcore AeroClip and love them for their sound quality. Much of what I use open earbuds for is listening to audiobooks, YouTube videos, and the like, but the AeroClip sound good enough to use for listening to music as well, which is a wonderful bonus that has led to me using them more and more for that purpose. If I get them on my ears just right, I can wear them for a couple of hours or so before they start to hurt, but they do eventually start to feel pinchy. I also have the cheap Tozo OpenEarRing, which seems to be a little more comfortable. They are fine for audiobooks and other spoken word content but not so great for music. So, I’m wondering, for those of you who have tried a variety of clip style earbuds, which ones were the most comfortable/least pinchy, and which ones were the best combination of comfort and sound quality?

Listening to audiobooks (and sometimes YouTube videos) is the main thing I do with my open earbuds, but I mainly use them around the house or when when I’m waiting for an appointment somewhere, so not in noisy environments. I wouldn’t expect them to be good for use in noisy settings. I have the Soundcore AeroClip, which is excellent and also good enough to use for music, and the Tozo OpenEarRing, which is ok for spoken media but not so great for music.

I recently started testing a few, premium as well as cheapos. Sometimes amazing how little difference there is. Like those two in the pic. I actually like the much cheaper QCY Crossky C50 better than the new SoundPeats Clip1. I like the Bose, but fear for their life in rain. Also like the Soundcore Aeroclip, but can’t justify the price … the Baseus MC1 pro with IPX67 have the best weather / dust rating. Keep seeing the Huawei freeclips topping lists on YT, but when I tested them I found them just ‘eh’ … my pref is great sound, don’t need LDAC, not interested in phone quality … what else should I check out?

Very similar sentiment. The Bose feel ridiculously overpriced for what feels like sounding 10-15% better than I.e. the crossky c50. Good thing I got them gently used for ~$130. Just did a 21K run with them this morning and it feels like that the right side keeps shifting ever so slightly. I blame my ears ;) . The Aeroclip have always been high up on my list, and only last night I learnt they come with rubber casings for fit grip improvements … but it seems that all reviews crown Bose the sound winner (some say Huawei freebuds, at least for mid and treble. ) … I could get the Aeroclip used for ~$80 … or the pearlclip pro for $20. Or the popclip for $15 ;) … or I sit back and be happy with what I have 🤣

Thanks for the feedback, I got the AeroClips in the meantime and very much enjoy them. I get a very stable fit for running when I use those rubber sleeves, but when I use those and put the clips back in the case, I hear they still play music ;)

The AeroClips. More comfortable than the Bose (but those sound a bit better). Also got the Soundpeats Pearlclips, because I found them for like $18, not bad, surprisingly good for side sleeping.

Bought them in the meantime and totally agree. In some regards I even like them better than my Bose Ultra Open.
