These earphones are fantastic. But it's important to keep in mind that when it comes to earphones it truly does comes down to personal taste and one size does not fit all. I have struggled with traditional earphones for a while now. Ranging from the Google Pixel Buds 1 and 2, Earfun and Soundcore buds. My ears must be oddly shaped as I can't find a truly comfortable set and usually they end up popping out at some point during the day, which can be embarrassing if they shoot out and hit someone. The Aerofits are different in that they position themselves over the ear. It's like having a small speaker positioned just above the ear opening and thus having nothing in the ear gets away from the inconvenience of having something that is actually shoved in your ear hole. I find them very comfortable and often find myself looking for them and I already have them on. They also literally last forever on a single charge and must be powered by some kind of miniature plutonium based nuclear core reactor similar to those used in the mars rovers. Seeing as this could be considered dangerous to some, they wisely elected to have some insanely powerful traditional rechargeable battery instead. I tell people they are plutonium powered. It is wonderful not having to worry about the charge and I have not heard them warn me that the power is dwindling. Perhaps they don't have this feature as they never run out of power. Sound quality is excellent. However, if you are wanting these to listen to the latest dance track with bass on high... You will be disappointed. But ... for everyday use, they are more than adequate at music rendition. I use them primarily to listen to YouTube audio and/or podcasts and they are absolutely lovely to listen to. It's a deeply textured and vibrant audio sensation with a slight lack of bass which will not deter but the most serious audiophiles among us. The charging 'egg' for the earphones is larger than typical earbud chargers, which is something I like. I lose stuff constantly, and I've lost the egg on numerous occasions but usually it's a little easier to find thanks to it's ample size. It also feels quite premium. Placing the earphones in the egg feels satisfying. Sometimes I simply place them in the egg, experience that satisfying feeling once they snap in place and then take them out. I do this a number of times throughout the day as I have nothing else to do. Seriously though I love this product. It took me a while to find my perfect 'phones' but I finally did... and I won't ever have to clean, wax infested eggs or earphones ever again.

UPDATE: Anker provided a no-questions-asked warranty replacement (see below, right bud wasn't charging or connecting). Very satisfied and added back to 5 stars!Lots of Pros: Very comfortable and functional. Sound is very good but not amazing. Nicely adjustable and the removable rear band is well designed and holds these securely in place for trail running, snowboarding, mountain biking, and other hard-charging activities. They work as intended, without sweat channeling into your ear (like the inner-ear type that drive me nuts), and the sound is generally good, although lower bass notes don't come through very well. They take a little getting used to putting on and getting into the case, but once you get the hang of it, all works great. I like that I can hear what's going on around me, so definitely not noise cancelling but great if you want to be aware of your surroundings (while running, biking, etc.).Main con: The right ear bud doesn't always connect to the charging case or Bluetooth (at least 50% of the time), and I have to fiddle with it to get the ear bud to connect with the case and then magically it turns back on again (see photo showing light on left side but not on the right, indicating the right is not connected to the case and thus not charging). It's irritating and also inconsistent. So it works, just not consistently all the time (hence minus 2 stars). Otherwise quality of the materials and build seems good after about 6+ months of fairly regular use. As noted above, it's a little hard to hear lower notes, especially when there is noise in the surrounding environment, so the upper and mid-ranges get more clarity and tone, but the trade-off is worth it for the comfortable design, sweat not going into my ears, and the ability to hear your surroundings.Overall I would definitely recommend these with the only potential drawback being the ear bud connection issue noted above.

I've never been an open ear headphone person but have been getting into them for use at work. This is the third model I've tried and by far the best. The volume is great. I work outdoors with a lot of ambient noise and I can still hear my audiobooks and podcasts well. Sometimes of ambient gets too loud I have to wear both headphones to hear well but since they're open ear that's not an issue.These are quite comfortable and I can easily wear them for extended periods of time. The charging case isn't the smallest but more than small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket of my cargo work pants.As with all open ear headphones they aren't the greatest for music that has a lot of bass but I bought theses knowing that and use them primarily for audiobooks and podcasts and for that I couldn't recommend them more highly. They were worth spending the extra $50 vs many of the other models on Amazon.
