*Correction* These don't have two separate drivers. They use a rectangular racetrack style driver with the dimensions of 20mmx11.5mm which covers a wider area but indeed is a single dynamic driver.
Very intriguing release. As a longtime cyclist, this style of earbuds is on my radar, especially now that the features and sound have improved. The mics sound good too.
Man I love your videos but describing sound it must be so exhausting i wouldn’t know how to describe it but you always make me feel the power of the earphones
3:10 I don't think it's a 2-driver system; it's a single driver, but since it's rectangular, they put the size of it as 20mm × 11.5mm (L x W), unlike circular drivers where you just need one number for the diameter.
Soundcore has really been killing it with releases lately and making more of a name for themselves. To this day they remain as my favorite brand for audio.
Open ear style buds are so much better than the ones that constantly fall out of your ears, and they tend to still sound fantastic. Don't need to pause music to talk to someone unless you've got the volume up high. In which case it's probably too loud anyway.
Great review as always, Keith. I remain skeptical about this type of earbud, though. I know that open ear earbuds are important for some people who don't like to have stuff in their ears. That's fair enough. But I can't shake the feeling that if you're going to have open ear earbuds, you have to price and spec them realistically. For most people, open ear earbuds exist so you can hear your surroundings and not have stuff in your ears. (If you were okay with having stuff in your ears, you could use in-ear earbuds and just go in transparency mode.) So I'm glad that these don't come with ANC, but I don't think they should have LDAC, either. For the kind of listening you're going to be doing with open earbuds, I don't think that really makes sense, unless you're trying to pad the sticker price (which I think is what's going on here, frankly). I could see maybe $60 for these because of the wireless charging and the decent bass (which is impressive, given the open style) but $100 seems like a lot too much.
Looks like its gonna be one of the best open-ear earbuds to date! Wish you showcased more B-roll of actually wearing every color since you were lucky to get hold of all them.
Would these be good for cycling? I want to hear my surroundings, not having something jammed into my ears. The issue is the outside wind noise is crazy loud when I ride wearing my standard AirPods. Much quieter with nothing in my ear.
Interesting...... I just may have to upgrade from the aerofit pros i currently have. Although they sound good and all they do lack in the bass department.
Blue option is _available on the Soundcore website_ but, you're right, not on Amazon. I think they've had this "exclusivity" for other products in the past.
Sory to tell, soundcore battery max life span just 4yrs n below..My experience while earfun with same age which is mine also Still Alives!!...Peace! Btw im wonderin' Y anker such a gd power supplier brand product that makes soundcore So poor on makin batt last..ha big jokes ..Peace2!
I LOVE open ear designs, but I really dislike this touch sensitive fad. Resting my head on my hand or raising my arm over my head *beep* I accidentally activate the sensor. I reach up to tap the sensor, nothing. Tap, nothing. Tap *beepbeep* accidental double tap. I can't wait for this silly fad to pass and for people to go back to physical buttons.

I have no will power to resist new soundcore products.

@@R023N you are correct, I assumed the two vent system they had housed 2 separate dynamic drivers to output to a wider area

Yup

Was waiting on this to hear your thoughts on this model compared to the Pro. Thanks as always for the informative review!
Great review. Gonna try these. 1more fit S50 does have wireless charging. The biggest downsize of those were the lack of controls.

Nice. I am down for these in blue when the time is right.
Very informative. Thanks
I'd be curious to see a comparison of these vs. The _Ear Open_ - the _Aerofit 2_ seems similar but potentially a much better value.
Would these be good for cycling? I want to hear my surroundings, not having something jammed into my ears. The issue is the outside wind noise is crazy loud when I ride wearing my standard AirPods. Much quieter with nothing in my ear.
My question is where can you find the blue model, i can't find them anywhere...
When wearing how does it compare to the pro when doing activities???
Are these really worth upgrading from the v20i?
Interesting...... I just may have to upgrade from the aerofit pros i currently have. Although they sound good and all they do lack in the bass department.
Is this an upgrade to aerofit pro?
Well, now i feel bad. I bought the aerofits 1 a week ago. 😭 These feel like winners though. The call quality seems really good too.
Perhaps there's still time to return the prior model. Most online and brick & mortar retailers _should_ allow that. 🫰
How did you get them in blue I don't see them on Amazon or Soundcore website

Super review very good
Ah, ok. So this is a real thing.

Do you have sound leak?

@@Angelsilhouette I'm a fan of physical buttons myself
Cmon soundcore… update the space A40’s. They are damn near perfect. I am not interested in these.
Can you do a review on the Anker c30i?
Coming soon
