V30i by Anker Open Ear Earbuds, Open Ear Headphones True Wireless

I LOVE these. I have bought so many pairs of headphones, trying to find the right pair. I have 6 different pairs that I have been swapping between. Over the ear, in ear buds / IEM's (my favorites), and open ear. These are my favorite open ear by far.Let me start by saying that ear buds are my preferred type of headphone, but I also have HORRIBLE (all year) seasonal allergies, so ear buds have started to cause a great deal of agitation inside of my ear canals. I also have stretched ear lobes (9/16), so a lot of headphones just don't sit right depending on what plugs I am wearing and they press into the sides of my head. These headphones solved both of those issues for me.Like others have said, these are so comfortable that you sometimes forget they are even on. The sound quality is good, more than enough in my opinion. I am not an audiophile by any means. I do prefer my IEM's as far as quality of sound goes, and of course open ear headphones won't sound as good as those when they are pressed right up into your ear drums (dramatic effect), but the sound on these is good, and the bass is good enough. I love that I can be jamming out at work and yet still hear someone approach me and not get the bejesus scared out of me.The quality of the actual headphones is good. They don't look or feel cheap, the magnet on the charging case stays closed as well (this is a bigger deal than one would think). My only (very) small issue is the touch controls are super sensitive. BUT thankfully with the app you can go in and shut those bad boys right off and not even have to deal with them. And speaking on that, these have been easy to connect to every bluetooth device I have tried, and the app is easy to install and use, it is super straightforward and you don't have to be tech savvy to figure it out.TLDR;I have allergies and stretched ears, these help alleviate the issues that come with both when wearing headphones. The sound is good, the bass is decent, and the fit is super comfortable. In my opinion, these are definitely worth the purchase. The quality is great, especially for the price point.

These are my first pair of open-ear headphones and it looks like I hit the nail on the head! I am no stranger to Anker and its product quality, so I decided to go with them again on a new product. First of all, even though I selected standard free delivery, they arrived the next day! I will keep them just for that level of customer service!I was a bit skeptical about their comfort at first, but then after wearing them for a few hours, and then falling asleep with them on, I was totally convinced of their comfort and durability. Yes, these are indeed "Ultra-Comfort and light weight". 5 stars there.Performance-wise, they sound very good, but you have to download the app in order to get the best performance out of them. In the app, you can change the sound types or even create your own sound preference with the built-in customizable equalizer. You also need the app to set (or change) the functionality of the touch functions on either earbud. They are plenty loud, but the bass could hit a little harder without losing the clarity. They offer an upgraded pair, Aerofit 2, that I am temped to purchase as well. The Aerofit 2 boasts about having better bass, so it has my attention! 5 stars there too.The app also offers a live language translation function. Free at first, but I'm sure a membership or subscription will be required in the near future. The app also offers audiobooks for those long airport waits as well as some soothing sleep sounds or white background noise to clear your head from a long, hard day at work (or from the kids!). 5 more stars.No connectivity issues yet, except you can't expect to go too far from your phone or source without experiencing some interruption. I went from my kitchen to my patio (straight line of sight) with no issues, but when I went further, about 100 more feet, I could hear the music going in and out. 4 stars (I guess).Overall, I wanted a pair of headphones that were very comfortable (I'm wearing both sides right now) that I could keep on all day that don't stick out from my ears making me look like a Star Trek character. They also had to sound good, allow me to hear my surrounding environment, and be easy to configure and use. These check all of the boxes!As I said, I am very tempted to purchase the next version which costs about twice as much at $80, but if they perform as well as these do WITH better bass, I may just give them a shot!

These are the perfect work open ear headphones I've used so far. Great sound while still letting sound in if someone needs to talk to you. Let's you able to listen to a book or music and still hear others. Very easy to hook up to you phone or other devices, touch on/off works great. Great fit just sitting one your ears, in ear hurt for me, but these are great I forget they are on. I have used them out side while talking my dog out, still could hear traffic when it went by and her to know where she had gone.Great price and do exactly what you need it to do for the price. If you are looking for deep bass or noise canceling this is not what they are for. Also has a translator function in app and can't wait to try it out some day.

I love Anker products and these have been by far my favorite earbuds. Calls sound great, podcasts sounded great, low music while at work sounded great and I could still have the joy of clearly listening to my quealing toddlers over the toy of the day whether at home, the park, the splash pad or zoo these did not fail or get uncomfortable ever. Win all the way around. Unfortunately I keep losing these and now after two years of near daily use snapped the ear loop part. I tried the tiny earbuds Anker makes (A20i?) but they constantly fall out so I can't leave the house with them. The C30i have great battery life like the V30i but they make my earlobe sore so I gave them to my relative. The C50i seemed like the perfect upgrade and fit , no pinching, no soreness BUT the playtime for charge is only 7h instead of the 10h on the V30i and C30i so it felt like a downgrade and was returned. I do love the over ear design so I'm probably going to purchase the V30i again. All in all very happy with these even with them snapping. Two years seems like a reasonable usage for the price.

I am a big fan of open ear earbuds, for comfort and being able to interact with people. I am willing to accept the compromise on sound quality. That being said, I am very pleasantly surprised with these earbuds. The sound quality is quite close to the Open Fit by Shokz earbuds (which I had and lost) at a fraction of the cost. They are comfortable and battery life is phenomenal. My two very minor quibble is that the case is rather large, as compared to the Open Fits and they only synch to one device at a time. All in all, these are really solid open-ear earbuds at a fantastic price.

Update (2/10/2024): I was able to squeeze some more base out of these today by a trick I recalled with the Life A2 NC when a pair of them had the same issue. Here is the process. So after connecting to the Soundcore app and updating the firmware, which I had done before my first review anyway, I reset the earbuds in the case today. There is a small button near the charging port. Hold that in until the light on the case turns red. Then reconnect the buds.Even with that though, and accounting that these are open-ear buds, the bass was just okay. It was certainly a noticeable improvement from before, but overall still muddy and not impressive. The depth of the soundstage is lacking. I listen to everything from hip hop to classical. It's really noticeable in classical music. Everything feels up front. There is no spacing and depth in the audio. An orchestra ought to sound and feel grandiose. On these it just doesn't.But as I said in my original review, the battery life is great, weight is very light, and they do vocals and everything above bass pretty well for the price. Yes the case is simple and can be slippery and fingerprint prone, but I don't care about that much. They do what I need them to do at the price point I wanted.Original (2/6/24):Pros: Lightweight. Long battery life. Excellent clarity with voices on calls or music. No worries about losing eartips or having wax clog the speakers. Nice audible tones for touch actions.Cons: Not much in the way of bass. Flat and somewhay shallow sound profile. Use with Soundcore app helps this a bit, especially with the Volume Enhancer option, but still does not truly add much compared to in-ear buds.Review: I work from home in a call center. I chose these for their light weight and battery life. I don't like being tethered to my desk by a wired headset, and wireless gaming headsets are bulky and expensive. They also don't hold up well over time.I have some excellent Soundcore earbuds thar are of the in-ear variety (Life A2 NC) which do all things very well but just don't have the battery life these do for use at work. So I'm often changing out pairs during a shift. Not good when you're busy with calls. Plus, recently I was sick and my ears were kinda plugged from that, so I decided that my in-ear buds needed a break. I decided on these as a much cheaper alternative to the new Aerofit line Soundcore put out. Being able to hear my surroundings better with these isn't necessarily a plus in a work context, but it's actually a wash anyway as I have my own office at home.These are good earbuds for a commute, for listening to a podcast, or taking calls casually or for work as I do. They handle vocals, highs, and mids well. But bass is lacking and the sound profile is not very rich or deep. So I can't recommend these for music much at all.I kind of expected that going in and, for my use case, it wasn't a deal breaker. Plus these are relatively cheap open-ear buds so use your common sense and don't buy the marketing hype. Good bass from small open-ear buds just isn't going to happen - at least not without paying a lot more.Tip: Don't jam these on your ears. They wear well but leave them just a tad loose at the front. It helps a lot, especially if you wear these for a while daily like I do.

I bought these and the Soundcore Aerofit2 units. They work very well. Don't expect crazy bass, however they fit well, provide good sound, and so light you forget you have them on. These types of earbuds are better for your ears and safety. The earbuds that go in the ear are causing long term issues with hearing loss and ear infections. Since you can not totally clean them, ENT's are seeing more ear infections and long term health issues. The hole in those earbuds breeds germs and organisms that you can not get out.Open ear earbuds are much better and also safer since you can hear the sounds around you. If you need crazy bass get the larger over the ear headphones that have a "transparency" type of mode so you can hear sounds around you.

One of my favorite bluetooth headphones.They fit comfortably without a big heavy battery attached to the bottom, they don't actually enter the ear (I've had some issues with ear infections and I realized it was due to how inside-earbuds gather skin, gunk, and sometimes, bacteria and it's really hard to clean. With these, it literally eliminates the problem.The sound quality is really really high compared to other ones I've tried. No, they aren't full ear-covering headphones, obviously, but these don't heat up like those do and they don't have that bar that covers your head and can get really gross too, so the benefits outweigh the cons.I use a set of these at home and a set for work. They work beautifully. I don't like being snuck up on at work when I'm focused so these allow me to clearly and easily hear what's behind me. The touch button that you can modify via app to pause the music works, though it took a bit of time to get used to touch rather than a physical button. I can always hear whose walking up behind me.I've tested to see how much sound bleeds out of the headphones and honestly, if you listen to a reasonable (safe) volume, there is very little that other people can hear. I sit right next to someone at a separate cubicle and our dividers don't hit the ceiling so all the sounds can travel over. No one can hear anything. I tested by playing "Never Gonna Give You Up" at a normal listening volume and my coworker didn't even flinch, so I knew for a fact that he couldn't hear it.You can modify the EQ via the app as well so it really helps cover for the fact that these are essentially just normal speakers you're holding very close to your ears instead of being isolated by ear buds. I get pretty good quality music and YT videos are perfectly fine. Gaming also works fine, even allowing the simulated directional audio to work.Never had an issue with the app, connecting them to my phone or home computer, or battery life issues. These last a VERY long time and I love that. Don't need to charge during my lunch or risk the last few hours of work being painfully quiet. Has yet to interrupt my gaming sessions with loud "BATTERY LOW" announcements.If you are a jogger, these hang onto your ears very well (personal experience may vary based on ear shape, of course). The hook around your ear is soft and has enough give to easily wrap around your ear and it doesn't irritate the skin there for me.A+ product. Anker has pretty much taken over my whole life. I have several phone powerbanks from them. My vertical computer mouse for home and work is from them. Now my headphones are from them. Amazing company with trust-worthy products that last a long time.No, I'm not paid nor offered anything for my review. I just really like dependable brands.

Echt een superleuke ervaring. Na de zoveelste aankoop van "de beste oortjes ooit"(?) en die allen om de één of andere reden (uit je oren vallen, pijn doen, e.d.)in de vuilbak belanden, kocht ik zonder veel enthousiasme de Anker V30i op oortjes. Zij zijn zonder meer zalig om dragen, de klank is voor mij uitstekend en ik kan een hele film bekijken zonder dat ik ze voel. Deze zijn top!

like the way the headset sits on the ear. good price. works well once the phone is connected.However now my big issue- it pairs with two phones but one has to disconnect the headset from one phone before it can be used by the other phone (Bluetooth off or disconnect needed) it is not picking up which phone is active at the time.Update 3/9/24after leaving my initial review the Anker customer support team contacted me, offering refund or replacement - which was a very pleasant surprise :-). The replacement product AeroFit offers the dual connection setup (for two phones) via the mobile phone app. For privacy reasons I have a work phone, and a private phone and the dual connection mode enable me to use the AeroFit earphones without switching/disconnecting in Bluetooth.Both the V30i and the AeroFit open ear earphones have great sound and battery life, charge fast and are comfortable to wear. For me the dual connection was the critical point and I'm very pleased with the Anker Soundcore team offering me the AeroFit earphones replacement option.CheersReinhard

49€ he pagado por los v30i y están bien. Al principio flipaba con ellos, buenos grabes, buen volumen, muy cómodos, no te enteras de que los llevas, aguantan bien, no se caen. Ahora llevo un mes con ellos y quizá porque me he acostumbrado me parecen más normales. Me da la impresión de que poco a poco se van haciendo a mi oreja y ya no se quedan tan pegados al conducto auditivo como al principio. Merecen la pena, puedes apoyar la cabeza sobre una almohada y no se mueven. Los uso en casa y me permiten incluso hablar con otra persona. En la calle los he usado pero depende por donde vaya, si hay muchos coches no tiene bloqueo de sonido externo, si hay pájaros los oyes trinar y es bonito. Estoy contento, se oyen bien y en casa van geniales.

Para ser open ears tienen una excelente calidad de sonido y la batería dura mucho, los recomiendo!
