I bought these earbuds as I don't like having earbuds inside my ear canals. Playing at loud volumes can damage your ears, which I've seen from many people.I like these as they sit on the outside of your ears as you can hear your surroundings and allows air to keep your ears cool without it being warm, sweat or itchy.The controls are sensitive, but responds great. You can customize them in the app. The design is great though sometimes, my left ear, tends to feel a little discomfort if you don't have it in the proper position. They're light, but not as light or soft as the Shokz Open Fit one or two.For the value, they're great to own. The price is worth it. The ear buds can get loud at lower volume. There is great bass for open ear buds but don't expect them to be like ear buds that go inside your ears. I can walk around the library or listen to them in a quiet room, and people honestly don't hear what I'm listening to, like Metal and Hard Rock. Unless you turn it all the way up, which I don't recommend, as people will listen and higher volumes close to 100%, will damage your hearing.There is some noise-cancelling when you make or take calls. However, there is no wind cancellation. It blocks out loud noise like animals, people, music in the background and vehicles, but not the wind. Lots of wind will pick up in the mics and the people you're talking to, will easily hear it. My friend gets annoyed when I'm driving or talking outside on a windy day, he ends up telling me, to either call him at home or in a quiet place, or he'll hang up. So I wish Soundcore will fix the problem with firmware or make a new one which will block the wind.The ear buds and case have a long battery life, but that's based on how high you listen to them. The higher the volume, the more battery it consumes. The case can easily fit inside your pocket. You can recharge them either through a wire or wireless.You can adjust the sound in the app. They give you many presets as well as you can toggle the settings on your own.Recently, Soundcore upgraded them using firmware to include translation. So when someone is talking to you in their language, it'll translate to the app.The ear buds are a little big. I hope in the next version, they'll make it smaller, lighter and softer on the ear hooks. But again, for $99, this is a great set of ear buds. Easy to put on, Easy controls, loud at low volume, is what I got. I would recommend them for people looking for a budget set of ear buds.

The short version is that these deliver on their promise and they do so very well. I use these for running and commuting to work on foot in downtown Chicago, as well as for phone calls/video calls. I wanted to be able to hear my surroundings during those activities and to limit how much time I spend with something plugging my ear canal. For years I've used the kind of earbud that has a silicon tip and plugs your ear canal to block outside noise (which they do well) but I'm worried it could be impacting my hearing and/or ear canal, especially since I wear them so much. The PRIMARY reason I bought the Soundcore V30is (I think the V20is are their more recent model) AND the Soundcore Aerofit 2s (twice as expensive with some upgrades) was for marathon training and running long races. Below I've provided a comparison of each (they both receive 5* from me).DELIVERING ON THEIR OVERALL PROMISE: both do this very well!COMFORT: they're both very comfortable under any circumstances except when you have a beanie over them or anything that'll apply pressured to your ears - they're still comfortable enough to wear in those circumstances but not as comfortable. I think the Aerofit 2s are a smidge more comfortable and that's partially because they're a little smaller, thinner and more flexible/pliable/customizable in their fit.FIT: they both fit surprisingly well and securely - I've run marathons in both with sunglasses and a baseball cap/running hat on during the marathons and these fit and stayed comfortably. The Aerofit2s also fit better and more securely than the V30is for the same reasons as mentioned above. The ability to customize the fit of the Aerofit2s is one of the areas in which they separate themselves from the V30is in a meaningful way - if you have unique ears/non typical ears this is something you may want to consider.SWEAT RESISTANCE: both have done a really good job of managing sweat over prolonged periods of time (hours). The V30is took an inadvertent direct hit from a cup of water during a race - I thought they were going to fry and I'd be stuck with one earbud for 20 miles but they handled it like a champ! So far they've both been great on this front.BATTERY LIFE: as promised for both (very good).APP FEATURES: both have a robust app that helps with customizing their sound and touch controls which is handy.SOUND: I'm not an audiophile but for what these are I find them impressive in this department. The Aerofit2s have noticeably better sound but not meaningfully better (if that makes sense). Neither are going to be the best sounding earbuds out there because of their style so be mindful of that pending your use case for these.VOLUME: One issue some seem to have with this style of earbud is volume not being loud enough, these get plenty loud enough!MICs for Calls: I hate that most reviews don't address this. These both work well in most situations but - like every single pair of wireless earbuds I've ever owned at every price point - in a really noisy environment the clarity of them breaks down. BOTH work well in quiet environments and also relatively noisy ones (I tested both on my balcony with traffic below and a decent amount of wind - their clarity deteriorated slightly but both still worked really well. The Aerofit2s are superior in this area and this is likely the other area where they separate themselves in a noticeable way from the V30is (customizable fit being the first area).Other mentionable differences: the Aerofit2s case is more premium feeling and slightly smaller (both are bulkier than average for earbuds but not problematically so). The Aerofit2's case has wireless charging if that matters to you. The Aerofit2's bluetooth capabilities are better and allow you to be connected to multiple devices at once.CONCLUSION: if you are thinking of getting a set of over-ear earbuds primarily for working out, casual use, commuting, etc. then either are excellent choices and I'd probably save the $ and go with the V30is or V20is if premium sound isn't a priority for you. If you want something with better sound, a more customizable fit, some additional features and a better aesthetic when on then the Aerofit2s are IMO worth the extra $ (if those things matter to you).

These headphones are amazing.First, the sound. They have a robust sound and can be customized to your liking with the Soundcore App. They have the ability to be very loud, mostly drowning out noise around you. They're open ear, so they're not noise cancelling.Second, the comfort. I wear these for several hours each day and often forget that they are on. They're very comfortable and lightweight. I have very small ears, and they're still adjustable to fit without falling off with moderate activity. I love how they adjust. It's a bit hard to explain, but the piece that goes behind your ear can be angled to be shorter or longer, and the speaker itself can also angle inward if you like a tighter, closer fit to your ear.They stay charged for a very long time. The case is very nice and lightweight. The materials of the entire set are excellent. I was looking for some open-ear headphones to wear at work. I share an office, and while I need to be able to hear the content/projects/meetings I'm making/attending, it's great to hear when my workmates need my attention. Also, I don't have to have headphone hair all day! It's the small wins, ya know.Anyway, enjoy. 10/10, would recommend.
