Had V30i's and loved them but lost an earbud and was close to buying a second set but decided to try these.Overall audio is definitely improved all around, low end is more pronounced but also the mids/highs feel clearer. Turning on the high bass mode is silly amounts of bass that will vibrate the earbud against your ear. I love audio but I'm not super tuned into things so definitely lean more on other reviews for a better idea of the audio quality.The rotation adjust is really nice and helps fit, my left ear is a bit different to my right and the V30 never sat perfect but with these I can adjust it way better so it's a better more comfortable fit. My only gripe is I wish the 'clicks' were a bit more rigid, when taking them out of the case I often click them accidentally and need to reclick them to the right setting. It's very easy and quick to do even with one hand, but would like if they stayed in each 'click' a bit better, once on though they never move and are very stable, I mountain bike with them and they don't budge.Battery life is exceptional, I've never had an earbud die, and the case lasts me weeks between charges.Case is also way better being metal instead of plastic and a better shape being less noticeable in the pocket thanks to the thinner design. with a hinge that is less likely to pop open on dropping, though still happens on occasion.I was a bit hesitant on the price compared to how cheap the V30i's were but for me the V30i's were a great earbud to try an open ear design and these are a pretty significant upgrade over them. For just the audio quality increase I wouldn't justify the price, (while definitely better) but with the better adjustable fit, really great battery life, and better case that I can fit in any jeans and not notice it was worth the increase in price for me.

This is my third Anker headphone purchase (Life 3i, AeroFit 1 and now these) and each has been an enormous improvement over the last ones, which have all been very well-loved. I also own a pair of Shokz Openfit Airs, AfterShockz bone conduction headphones, and a couple knock off brands of open ear headphones. For clarity I will only compare these to the AeroFit 1’s and the Shockz Openfits.1) Weight: One of my favorite things about my Shockz is how light they are, and this pair matches that quite well. The 1’s would start to annoy my ears after a while due to their weight. I can’t even tell that these 2’s are on.2) Fit: The 2’s fit is amazing and the ability to adjust them makes all the difference. The 1’s were a bit bulky and would fall off if I needed to adjust my hair around my ears, and a drop onto rocks last weekend pretty much gave the right one a death knell. I love the Shockz’ fit. The 2’s are comparable to the Shockz. They aren’t budging. I also sleep with headphones, and these were very comfortable when I was on my side.3) Battery life and quick charge are great. The 1’s battery life was what made them win over the Shokz, even though I had liked the Shockz’ fit and weight more. I listen to stuff in the background a lot, so everything gets a lot of use. The six-hour life of the Shockz just wasn’t enough, and they would die even if they weren’t being used. The 1’s would be the energizer battery and just keep going, I would often get a good day and a half out of them before needing to charge. These arrived yesterday afternoon at 80% charge and 20 hours later I only had to charge them for thirty minutes to have them at 100%.4) Cost: I got these on sale for $100 and that seems to be a good price point for great quality and features but not going to break the bank.5) Sound: The 1’s could be a bit tinny, these produce a nice, rich sound similar to the higher-cost Shokz.6) Controls: The app makes all the difference in functionality for me. Being able to change how many taps to play/pause puts Anker leaps and bounds above Shockz.

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the Soundcore AeroFit 2 by Anker—easily one of the best open-ear headphones in its price range.The fit is lightweight, secure, and comfortable even during extended use, thanks to the four adjustable positions that accommodate different ear shapes. The open-ear design provides environmental awareness while delivering surprisingly rich bass and balanced clarity for this style of earbud.Battery life is excellent, and wireless charging adds real everyday convenience. But what truly exceeded my expectations was the real-time AI translation feature. I didn’t buy these for that function specifically, but it works impressively well—fast, accurate, and genuinely useful for travel or multilingual interactions.If you’re looking for a dependable, well-rounded open-ear solution with standout features—especially at this price—this is a smart, future-forward choice.
