soundcore C30i by Anker, Open-Ear Earbuds, Clip-On Earphones, Lightweight Comfort, Stable Fit, Firm-Shell Design, Attachable Ear Grips, Big Drivers for Clear Audio, 30H Play, IPX4 Water-Resistant

I wanted an open ear design as I find having something stuck in my ears whilst exercising becomes uncomfortable. Naturally I was drawn to the Bose Open Ultra clip-on earbud, but I could not justify the £250 to £299 cost for running on the treadmill or around the park. And let’s be honest do we really need an audiophile quality sound when sweating and dodging others whilst out running?As a brand I love Anker and have a number of their power solutions - they justifiably have a great reputation in this area, but I was still somewhat dubious about a pair of £45 clip on open earbuds. I thought they would be tinning and disappointing. Having worn my newly acquired ones over the last few days I can report that I find them pretty comfortable and have a pretty impressive sound quality. Even when load enough to hear them over the TV (when my wife is watching) they do not leak significant sound. The standard EQ is OK, but I still downloaded the app onto my iPhone and tried the other options. To me the Bass present sounds awful (flat), I agree with other reviewers who say the spacial audio/surround is rather disappointing and that was true for the vast majority of music from most of my streaming sources I use. There are some tracks that do sound pretty ok. But again, this is not really the purpose of these buds (I am also in love with my Sonos Era 300, so these are never going to stand up to muster). That said if you spend even a few moments with the custom options and set an EQ profile that suits your taste you will find these little bits of clip on plastic more than capable of sounding nice whilst exercising.Reviewer also mention that they are poor for call quality - again not really surprising when you consider the design and their intended purpose.Would I recommend these? If you have no financial limits and you want to sit in quiet environments, I would hazard the Bose are better, but for exercising with I can't imagine they are 5 times the price better.Anker/Soundcore have done it again. They have built a good (not super premium) quality product and brought it to market at a price that delivers pragmatically pleasing results at a sensible price - thanks Anker.A last point - the case is a little naff, serviceable and functional but does let the overall package down. I do not need or even really want wireless charging, but the case does feel like it is - plastic.

I so wanted to love these earbuds for the following reasons1. They sound great for non-invasive earbuds. Lovely rich sound.2. They look cool! I got them in the pearl colour and they look great in the ears.3. Great price for quality of them.However, for me, only one ear was comfortable. The left ear - no problem... no pressure and so very comfy. The right ear - oooof....it squeezed right from the start and the pressure and pain got worse the longer I wore them.I guess I have odd ears. I also guess, these will fit some, and not others.I hope they fit you, for the 3 reasons above.

Got this as present for my husband, he’s very pleased with them. I was kind of worried as he is particular when it comes to earphones and headphones.There are three different plastic cup sizes to fit ears, they remained unmoved while working out. Super comfortable, usually forgets he has them on! Battery lasts a long time too.Easy to operate and fit in, excellent quality and sound! Audio can be customised via Soundcore App. Touch controls are very responsive andPractical.Outstanding value for money, totally recommend

Liked the interesting design and when trying them around the house after some adjustment they stopped pinching my love and were pretty comfortable, when you get it right the sounds not bad too.The first time I used them in the Gym the sucked up sweat from my ears and the right hand one was all misted inside. It never worked again, couldn’t charge or switch on. They claim they are IPX4 water resistant but i found them as waterproof as toilet paper.

I bought these a while ago after being advised not to wear in-ear earbuds anymore. At first, I was a little sceptical about how well they would work given that they clip onto the ear, which seemed like poor placement. However, having tried them for a few months now, I've actually been impressed at both the quality and loudness of the sound without too much noise-leakage. They don't provide any kind of noise cancelling, so they aren't perfect for listening to podcasts and audiobooks on busy roads or in very crowded areas, but they've been perfect for casual music listening.The only real issues I've had with them are around the design.First, they do have some touch features on the back of each ear bud, which are great - play/pause by tapping, skipping forwards/backwards with double taps, and volume up and down when holding a finger to the touch sensor. The only issue I've really had with these is the earbud registering touches on my neck when moving my head around and pausing my music, but these features can be turned off so it's not a massive issue.Second, due to the rigid nature of the design, they have started to hurt my ears when wearing for prolonged periods of time. For shorter periods, they've been great, but the lack of flexible bridge between the sound driver in the ear and the touch pad behind the ear leads to a bit more clamping than is entirely comfortable.

Sure the sound isn’t as you’d expect from buds which are inserted, but I love them when out and about. Feels safe to be able to hear what’s also going on around me and listen to music. Definitely good functions the fit is brilliant and stays in place brilliant ear accessory, they do look super cool.

For C30i open ear buds. I cannot wear Inner ear buds, as they don't fit in my ear canal. This cuff design is very comfortable, and I use the largest ear grip. You can forget you're wearing them. They have been worn for 2 days so far, for music and taking calls. The sound quality is very good, better than expected. Would definitely recommend, and for the price a no brainer.
