Soundcore C40i by Anker, Open-Ear Earbuds, Clip-On Headphones, Flexible Joint Design, Button Controls, Lightweight Comfort, Stable Fit with Attachable Ear Grips, Expansive Drivers for Clear Sound

I go to sleep with these in and they don’t bother me. I did need to turn the gain down on my Fiio DAP to reduce the volume enough to get the level suitable for sleep. The sound and comfort are very good.

These are a great option for an open-ear design at this price point, the sound is very full and balanced, impressive bass and volume without becoming distorted, I rarely feel the need to turn them up too much even when in a noisy area.I LOVE the Soundcore app, that’s another aspect that really makes it feel like the product is punching above its weight. The app adds so many excellent options to adjust and customize the sound to your liking, is very responsive and quick to update the earbuds, and I’ve run into minimal bugs. The app is also excellent for their sleep earbuds and you can create customized relaxing sounds to upload to the onboard memory (not applicable to this open-ear model, but figured I’d mention it.)Small complaints would be the lack of wireless charging, which is not a huge deal but would have loved to see it to complement my wireless charging docks.Comfort is another slight issue, they feel a bit large and heavy on my small ears, I think these would fit medium-sized ears best, and may be too tight on large or thick ear shapes.They do include some additional small plastic sleeves to slide onto the earbuds to adjust the gap size to be a little smaller (and credit to them for including two sizes, I need different sizes for each ear), but if you have larger ears you’re mostly out of luck, as they will be stiff and probably feel pinchy.I wish they had done a similar design to the Bose Ultra Open buds which I find myself reaching for more often because of the comfort, but still plan to use the Soundcore buds in the summer when they’re more likely to be exposed to moisture and sweat since they have a better water resistance rating.Also concerned I’ll have to remove the plastic sizing sleeves if any moisture collects in there, and I also had one of them crack in half randomly while sitting in the charging case (no idea how that happened!) so I may have to contact the company to get some spares. Wish they sold those separately!As far as I can tell the battery life is very good, though I haven’t used them for a long enough stretch at a time to drain them, so I’m unsure if they live up to the advertised length of time.Overall these are definitely worth a try, I favor the Bose just slightly because of the comfort, but the Soundcore are a really solid pick if they fit you and are a very thoughtfully designed device.

These things are AMAZING. I wear mine all day. And I mean ALL day. Now In the past- I'd find these Bluetooth headphones i really liked and just know id have to buy TWO pair because im always "wear one while the other one is charging" lifestyle...BUT LET ME TELL YOU...THESE THINGS CHARGE SMOKING FAST...seriously 8 hours listen time after 20 min charge? Imma buy another pair. Need/want don't care -these things are banger🔥🤌

Amazing audio quality, I buy from this brand fairly often and this was my first clip style from them and they did a decent job. Biggest complaint though is if you never used these before, just how tedious it is to figure out your ear shape.Id like to think I am smart but I think I spent like embarrassingly maybe a few hours of constant adjusting, drove me a little crazy because I just didn't know where the sweet spot was on my ear.Sweet spot on my ear was found and boom don't have any issues anymore. Hair will need pulled back though for long hair and the inserts will be needed if you're planning to workout to keep it at those sweet spots. For normal daily chores and work, these are fine.I really like the company these came from too, during my struggle bus initially I sorta got a bit upset because the price and just not figuring it out. They weirdly are sooo good at reaching out though and working with you offering like more inserts or a different type to use or other options, they helped a lot, honestly I feel kinda dumb I needee help but I appreciate what they did for me.

These are so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them.

I am sending them back. Let me tell you why. First of all I am very sensitive on my ears. The clip is to tight on me. I have average size ears. I hear others who did not have discomfort. So it might just be me. I had trouble with in the ear head phones also. The other one is sound quality. I had a time finding the sweet spot where you hear maximum sound. And if I found it, the earbuds did not stay there. I wanted to like them. I loved the looks. And the price was right. I do believe these will work for many people. I sent them back and trying out a different brand.

I figured I would try these, I can't put the bud type inside my ear. I have been using the Samsung live buds or The Sony U theater. Over the ear headphones. I want something I can lie down and use. I have only had these a few days, it took some fiddling around with at first to get them on properly. I could see people not giving these a moment because headphones any style are straight forward. To me these are worth it, sound is great it has an app telling me the battery life- etc. I was actually looking at the less expensive model 30 I think, I figured if there keepers might as well step up. Still playing around with these. I'm glad I got these. Very nice work around headphones!

I got these 2 hours ago and I bought them for 1 reason, to workout. They stay on your ear during cardio, bench press, even more dynamic movements (I did like 5 burpees, it's not a lot but they stayed on). The buds are easy to pair and don't prevent you from hearing your environment which might be a negative for some. The build quality seems good and 2 hours of use reduced the battery by 10% so 20 hours of battery should be accurate. The sound quality isn't the best, again because they don't go into your ear and I happen to be sensitive to sound so occasionally it gives me a tingling feeling.I don't really feel the buds, I laid down with them and you can probably sleep with these in.Overall this will be my go to walking around pair of ear buds
