Anker Soundcore - C50i

A lot of Shokz suggestions here. They weren't the best for me in terms of comfort and longevity. They start to hurt the tops of my ears after around an hour of running and eventually give me a headache. I've also gone through 3 pairs. My last pair (Openrun Pro 2) didn't last through a single 50k race - just from getting wet with sweat, they started buzzing loudly in one ear. I've since returned those and switched to the Anker Soundcore c50i and I love them. No weight on the tops of your ears. I wore them in a 100mi race a couple of weeks ago with zero discomfort. They also come with a compact charging case. They get around 8hr before needing a charge and then I can just pop them in the case and pull them out again later fully charged - very easy to do while running. I also like that I can charge the case with a power bank while listening to the ear pods. Finally, the sound quality is better than Shokz and they get louder as well. I listen to audiobooks and I can finally turn the volume up loud enough to hear over traffic when I'm running along a busy road.

Just to give an alternative to Shokz. I've worn Shokz for a few years and they would always start to hurt the tops of my ears after a while and I also had issues with them being sensitive to moisture (my last pair, Openrun Pro 2, actually died on my very first run with them just from sweat exposure). After the last Shokz died, I ordered a pair of Anker Soundcore c50i. I am absolutely loving them so far. I just did a 26hr run in them with zero discomfort. They stay in place, get louder than Shokz, and have better sound quality. They're still open ear, so full situational awareness. Can't really comment on longevity yet, but they seem well built.

I cannot deal with the shokz and my glasses. I keep my glasses secure with a strap. For headphones I have clip ons. Shokz apparently has them coming out soon. I have some from Anker Soundcore and they clip on your ears. There is also a very expansive version from Bose. They are perfect. I don’t hear myself too much but I hear my surroundings. I also use them for biking and never could imagine any other ones.

I bought the soundcore open ear buds (so no band) and really like them, especially for the price compared to Shokz! From my research, sound quality with open ear/bone conduction will never be as good as traditional buds, so I went with a cheaper option and am very happy with them!

Soundcore open ear have been great, can't really go wrong with Shokz either

Agree on their pricing. I love my soundcore buds but battery life had dropped off too. I do use my $30 sound core open ears for the office and around the house but needed cheap anc buds for short flights where I don't want to carry my over the ears. I do love the wings on the liberty pro 3 buds tho, really comfy.

I was honestly surprised by anker soundcore. My wife stole my Buds live so I got her soundcore. They are surprisingly good for their price.

I was skeptical about wireless earbud until I got some. I have a cheap anker soundcore set that I use for podcasts, and the Nothing Ear 1 that has amazing sound.

And here I am 100% happy for years using my $20 Amazon anker soundcores haha. Is there something wrong with me...

I've tried many brands (beats, Sony, pixel buds, akg, master and dynamic$$) and I've finally settled on the. Anker Soundcore for me. I use the p40i with the Comply foam tips and I've had no complaints during my calls. Great part is that model of earbud is relatively cheap to stock up on in case you have a habit of misplacing them like I do. My current Pixel is the 8.

Anker soundcore’s used to be my go-to’s when my AirPods weren’t available, but they are horribly priced now - like more than AirPods. Maybe Amazon or someone else will have them at a better price than direct. I have also had good experience with a pair of Sony earbuds I gave to my daughter. The noise cancelling is superb because we have to throw stuff at her to get her attention.
