I owned 5 of them and most comfortable is shokz opem dots and then huawei freeclip. U dont really feel it very flexible arc and soft. I mean it. I also owned soundcore c40i very stiff and feeling there and a bit pain
I've gone through so many of these trying to find the best solution.
Even ran with an ear in and an ear out for a while.
I've settled on the Soundcore C40i because I run on trail where you often get mountain bikers so I like to hear what's coming up behind me.
They fit well, and come with different inserts for a closer fit if needed. Hold charge well and connect to my phone without issue. No issues with fit or holding in place for me.
Other cool feature is they work as a Bluetooth headset. They're not Bose or Beats sound quality but they are also not Bose or Beats price, I'm very happy with them.
I had good service from the Anker Soundcore Space A40. I bought them in June 2023 and they worked great until I lost one earbud in May 2025. Sound quality was good, battery life was very good and fit was comfortable. It's currently going for R1299 on Takealot.
I've since switched to the open ear Soundcore c40 and I like them a lot. Sound quality is not as good as the Space A40 but I like that I can hear everything around and I forget that I'm wearing them.
I use the Soundcore C40i by Anker which are a similar style to these and I love them. I have a lot of ear piercings that make most headphone styles impossible but they work for me! Not great for noise cancelling so I don't like them for the gym
