Anker Soundcore - AeroClip

I really like this product, and they're really comfortable, and the majority of the time, I forget I have them on. And therein lies the problem, I forget I have them on. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm guessing I must have brushed it against something or it fell out when I was changing t-shirts. I had only realized I lost one of them the following day, and retracing my steps with the app didn't reconnect with the lost ear bud.

Great review.  I started with Shokz OpenMove, then a pair of economical Monster Open AC601 before moving onto the Soundcore AeroClips.  Don't have any complaints about the AeroClips as the microphone quality is pretty good. Finally no complaints from people saying they can't hear me. Tried the Shokz OpenDots at a retail store. Sound seemed better, earbuds felt lighter, case is slimmer with wireless charging I believe.  However, can you provide more input about the call quality on the OpenDots. Any issues? How does it compare to the AeroClips? Thanks.

Do you consider open earbuds? I'm using soundcore Aeroclip and it worked pretty well.

I've been using that in office and none of my colleagues have complained to me, I guess that's good?

I've been testing out a few different clip-style open buds this week, and my favorites have been the Soundcore Aeroclip. I just received the Shokz Opendots One, so I'm doing some A/B comparisons with the Aeroclip. For me, the Opendots One are probably a little more comfortable. They both grip confidently, but the Aeroclip are slightly tighter feeling whereas the Opendots One feel a little more gentle. In terms of sound, for my ears, I honestly prefer the Aeroclip. The Opendots One are a bit louder, but music sounds a little more boxed-in and less dynamic to me. I tried with and without Dolby mode on, with a similar "V-shaped" custom EQ on both. Dolby mode makes things sound more expansive, but I feel like I'm losing a bit of highs & lows with it on. Maybe better for movies than music. Perhaps it's just that with the shape of my ears, the drivers are more accurately directed with the Aeroclip.

The Pearlclip Pro was another one I tested. I think they're great for the price, and actually have better functionality than either the Aeroclip or the Opendots One (low latency mode, more control options with single-taps, etc). However, I found the Aeroclip to sound significantly better and they feel more secure on my ears. If I were to advise anybody on what to buy out of what I tested, I'd say to buy the Aeroclip if money is no object, and the Pearlclip Pro if you don't have much to spend.

I recently went down that same research path myself. The Huawei FreeClip was rated the highest for comfort and sound in the videos I watched, but they are just too expensive. I almost went for the SoundPEATS PearlClip Pro except that a couple of reviews said they were kind of loose and might fall off if you don’t have larger ears. I really liked what I read about the Soundcore AeroClip, but $139 was still more than I wanted to spend. Then I found them brand new on eBay for $75, so that’s what I went with. I’ve only used them once so far, but I think they’re going to be a good choice. They fit well and the sound quality seems to be very good given that they’re open buds.

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.

I wear my aeroclios all day. They're comfortable.

For what it's worth, I'm getting a very comfortable and secure fit with the ear clip configuration on the Soundcore AeroClip earbuds. You can't get fully immersive noise cancelling in that format, but the sound quality and build are remarkably good, and I never worry about them falling off. And comfort-wise, I often forget I'm wearing them. Great for the gym and podcast listening. If i can get the fit AND the features with the new Pixel buds, I'd still grab a set for music fidelity and loud environments.

As for Soundcore - I own AeroFit2, AeroClip, and Liberty4pro. If you wear glasses (ever) I would choose Aeroclip instead of AeroFit due to AeroFit going around the ear. Both are fantastic and imo both are wonderful for your use. Liberty4pro are in-ear with noise cancellation, so those wouldn't be good for your selection (including them in my comment is just to show that I know Soundcore). I'm selling my pair of Soundcore AeroClip. I was gifted Bose Ultra Open, otherwise I would be keeping the AeroClip because they're so good - you can't even tell that you're wearing them and they never fall out!

I've had mine for a bit now. I've noticed that the call quality has gone down since I got them. Now people always tell me I sound far away. Overall listening is great though. I also get the ear fatigue after a couple hours. But I think I just have a weird ear. Right now these are the go to, but still on the hunt for something that doesn't hurt my ear after an hour or two. Tried Aero Clips but they hurt even worse so they went back in for the the dots lol
