My favorite headphones for doing things in.I forget I'm wearing these. They're so comfy and actually do have quite a bit of bass. Even the deep sub-bass in deep house is still there. I can't even believe that I can listen to the very bass focused music I like with these. They're missing that bit of growl that super deep bass has.These are definitely not as thick or rich sounding, can even be a little sharper sounding than the Bose QC 35 ii I have. To be expected. These sound more like standing in a really big room listening to music. You're not close to the music but it feels expansive and light especially since you can feel and hear your surroundings and you don't feel plugged up by over the ear headphones or earbuds. (They don't give the sound of an echo but some things feel like the sound is coming from all around you, which is delightful. You can turn on the EQ to"3D surround" and that's kind of echo-y and even more surrounding you, though I don't prefer that setting.)Before these I was practically living in my Bose QC 35 ii over ear headphones and now I'm not often tempted to put the Bose on.Bought them for audiobooks, stayed for music.I even thought that I love to live in noise cancelling every minute of my day, but it turns out that when ambient sound isn't distorted by earbuds and I have lovely music or books perfectly and comfortably in my ears, I prefer these to noise cancelling. I am a person who is quite irritated by bad sounds (dishes clanking, my electric toothbrush, cars driving, etc). I thought I liked that disconnected feeling you can get listening in noise cancelling, but it turns out that it's really nice to feel more in the real world while I listen to things.I can also put the sound to a level where I have some background beats/tunes and still listen to birds and the river. So lovely. They've been on many walks and hikes. I've jogged a bit with them in, washed dishes, put shirts over my head, and put on glasses and masks and hats. They haven't fallen out once.I was concerned that a lot of these type can't be turned on without their case so I'd always have to bring the case. Nope. It seems that it will stay in standby mode even if when it's not connected to anything for hours, and will still be on and ready to go when I reconnect the device (phone usually or my garmin watch).I have worn them literally all day most days since I've received them. The battery easily lasts the day, though sometimes I am not sending sound through them. Most of the time I'm on multiple hour calls and listening to music or audiobooks constantly, and only charging while I sleep. People report that my mic sounds very good. There are a few YouTube videos about this, if you're interested.My ears were a little bit sore on day 1 and 2 but I think it was because I was messing with the position and pulling them on and off frequently and incorrectly. It's worth sliding them up the ear before you take them on and actually putting them on up there before sliding them in place. You'll get used to it quickly and it's easy to find the sweet spot in your ear that sounds best and then just always put them there. They feel really light once you have them on.I have had 2 pairs of bone conduction headphones (one was the Shockz open move) that were so hard to wear with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. Even without all the other stuff near my ears, I would always need to reposition those. These are just chilling there in place, not pushing my ears outward like the shockz. I'm pretty sure these also sound quite a bit better, and still sound great when they're not positioned perfectly.

These are truly an amazing product! Engineered perfectly so that you can now have the earbuds on and listening to music, and dance around, heck headbang if you want to, these buds aren't going anywhere. I used to hate how with old earbuds, especially if it's a hot day, or I was just out exercising, how a simple action like bending over to tie my shoes, or stretching or something, could result in me spending quite some time searching the ground for the earbud that just popped out my ear. And even if they didn't pop out I was constantly feeling the need to push them back into my ear because they'd be slipping out little by little. None of this is an issue with Anker's Soundcore C30i open ear earbuds. They hug your ear lobes gently but firmly enough that they will not fly off or slip off accidentally. They do take me an extra moment or 2 to put them on, but I am fine with that because once on they stay on. I will even forget they are on sometimes if I pause the audio to talk to someone or something. That how comfortable they are on my ears.. Like they arent even there. And the sound quality is excellent in my humble opinion too. Before these earbuds, I was a Bose guy. I appreciate good quality sound. While, with these, the speaker is not directly in your ear canal, you still get great sound. I also think these are safer than standard earbuds or headphones because while the sound of the audio is excellent, because it is not completely filling your ear canal you can still hear stuff going on around you. Also, the battery life for these are pretty good.. if you charge em at night, you should be able to use em through the day pretty much without any issues. I haven't run out of juice yet while using them, and I am a music addict. Anyway, I am honestly grateful that someone finally solved the problem of the earbuds that fall out of your ears. If anything ever happens to these, I will be buying another pair of the same kind. I feel like my search for the perfect earbuds is finally over. Now, I can just enjoy the music without any drama. I can throw out my several sets of earbuds where 1 earbud is missing from popping out and being lost to the ground. Highly recommend Anker's Soundcore C30i open ear ear buds! Soundcore FTW! Just excellent!
