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.

Same here. My last pair went back after dying on my first race (third time wearing them). Those were Openrun Pro 2s. I switched to Anker Soundcore c50i and like them so much more. They're more comfortable for me (Shokz would start hurting my ears after around an hour or so), get louder, sound clearer, and don't go over the top of the ears so sunglasses are more comfortable. I also like the little charging case - super easy to throw them in the case in my running belt to charge for a total battery life of nearly 30 hours.

Switched from Shokz (always had quality and comfort issues) to Anker Soundcore c50i. Couldn't be happier. Louder, more clear, more comfortable, have a super compact charging case that makes charging during long races a breeze, and haven't crapped out on me yet. I've been through 3 sets of Shokz and countless similar off brands. My last pair of Shokz (OpenRun Pro 2) died within a month during my very first race with them.

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.

Any Souncore, JUST Souncore, never go back sa mga 'cheap' airpod and wire earphones after buying their 50i. Very satisfied sa sound nung product nula since gusto ko sabog ang bass and linis sound pa rin. Tagal pa ng battery legit toh, if full volume maybe 3hrs+ bago malowbat since full vol. but if your into half/low vol. lang naman aabutin yan ng week bago malowbat, tested it noon hahaha. And yung pagchargean niya bilis din makacharhe.

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.

Yes. As a brand and their prices, good entry brand sila of you enter the rabbit hole of being an...audiophile. If for Spotify and streaming movies, goods na yan.

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.

Yeah I'm a big fan of Soundcore for being a good mix of performance/price

Gamit mo ngayon soundcore, ok naman sya for everyday use
