Hello, I'd like to talk about head tracking technology because I attach great importance to it. From what I've seen on TH-cam or in other reviews, people don't dwell on it much or don't prioritize it much, but there's a very important aspect to consider. Especially when riding a bike, when I turn my head to the right or left to focus more on the sounds behind me on the road, thanks to head tracking, the sound stays in the front, and there is no sound in the other earbud and allowing me to focus more on the sounds coming from behind. No one seems to mention such a usage scenario for head tracking technology, but I believe it's a very effective use.
Hi, Soundcore dropped a major software update a couple of days ago. It included over a dozen new sound profiles. The Bass Boost profile is excellent and really improves the music I listen to. Quite a game changer Are you going to conduct an update review?
It's really good to see some good competition in open ear buds, finally! However, I prefer the 1More S50 which do sound very close to in ear buds but still do feel very open because of their special design. Thank you for your great review, Andy! 😊
Hey Andy, Great video and thank you so much for the amazing review. I would like to hear your thoughts on this vs the 1More S50? If you could make a VS video between the different individual competitors, that would be awesome.
Thanks for reviewing these Andy - great to see more manufacturers bringing this style to market. Can you comment on whether you noticed any white/residual noise on the Pro compared to, for example, the clean audio of the Shokz OpenFit?
@@AndysTechTone yes" 2000 year " Aiwa Walkman with open earphones quality 👌 next level after market smart phone king Nokia N73 Music next level open earphones, present company's killing people's ears 👂.
Since the mic audio is really that bad - did the vendor react to any criticizm or promised to improve it ? I think I would really not like to talk to people with it.
Hi Andy. Thanks for another great Vid, its good to see the channel creeping up, i wish you all the best in growing your channel. Quality content. ignore the naysayers 😉
I like these over the openfit pro. The battery drains super quick in the openfit pros in the case and the buds. with the neckband it fits much better than the shokz...
@@AndysTechTone try to find them and test. I got them, they are really amazing and now I am just wondering if JBL were the best choice. Speaking just about the open-ear, for outside sports and keeping the awearness
i just bought the aero fit pro but i feel the volume level is too low which is quite regret , i can understand the lack of bass but the highs are way too low volume as well
Just got the aerofit pro and the bass is better than the ows pro. However, the sound quality is bad it sounds muffled in comparison to ows pro. Maybe i got a defective one who knows
Do you like these better than the OWS 2. I got the OWS2 and love them but need they fit lose and need those earbud supports and I hate the touch controls so I want to know would the soundcore be better only if the sound and push buttons are that much better because I do love the OWS 2 sound.
If you want buttons and need the better fit then it's not really a question. The sound is at least on par if not better than that of the OWS 2 overall, so there is that too
I try a pair recently and they sound muffle compare to shokz. It is clear if you can manage to get it real close to your ear opening and keep it there. I have small ears but both brands still manage to ache my ears with prolong use.
Hi Andy. Do you experience much wind noise when cycling with these headphones on? I have an older set of MPOW Flame Solo's that I have used when cycling for two years. They offer some decent passive noise cancellation meaning I can still hear all the noise from traffic but they also catch a lot of wind noise as well. Was hoping the Aerofit would be a higher end replacement as I do prefer button controls over touch controls
The noise leak is about average but close to full volume it's noticeable. So iIt all depends on how loud you listen to your own stuff and also on how loud music is in the gym in the first place.
@@AndysTechTone Thanks. Is that average for open ear buds, or average for any headphones? From what I've read, with these buds, full volume would be deafening anyway. I just listen at normal listening volume - not too loud. Sounds like it'll be okay. Thanks again for the review, and the quick reply to my question :)
Thank you so much for the sub 100 open ear buds review today, waiting for your pro open ear pro comparison now that aerofit pro and oladance ows pro are available. 🙂
@@AndysTechTone On a less flippant note, I bought two sets of these, one for my wife and one for me. A significant monetary investment. On your recommendation. So, jokes aside, you do have influence.
watched your review, clicked on your link, and bought them. got them today and i’m disappointed because device switching doesn’t work how i like. with all my apple headphones and my samsung buds, i’m able to initiate connection to them from any ipad, computer, phone that has been previously paired. without having to go into pairing mode. with my other 7 bluetooth headphones i have to go into pairing mode every time. it sucks. do you know what brands usually have this feature? or what i could look for? so far though, these are great. first open earbuds and i think it’s what i’ve been needing. switching by just going to the bluetooth settings and clicking the device would easily make these what i use 90%+ of the time. thank ya for the quality vid
Manual switching works as long as dual connections are enabled in the app. You can be conencted to two devices so you'll have to disconnect one device in order to connect to another but you don't need to go into pairing mode.
@@AndysTechTone the having to disconnect from the other device is what sucks. i guess i’ll just have to stick to apple devices.. being able to put the headphones on leave the case behind and not worry about what they connect to because i know they will connect to whatever device i grab is awesome. thanks for the reply!
@@AndysTechTone yea. just meant for my regular noise cancelling headphones and earbuds. im always surprised tech tubers never mention this switching ability. do you think its just not something enough people care about? am i just expecting too much lol?
@@tubeboi2802 I believe that multi device connection and switching get mentioned in most reviews but outside the Apple bubble it works a bit differently so the expectations are not as high I guess
The oladance pro and oladance ows2 broke my ears out with whatever they are made of . This never happened with my shokz openrun pro or shokz openfit . Now my ears have to heal up before I can wear my openfit openrun pro or anything else . Shame on you oladance .
As with all earbuds the shape and size of our ears can greatly vary so the fit can do too. I've never used anything more comfortable than the OWS 2 but I'm sorry to hear you had serious issues with it
at least you are better than me , every in ear buds broke my ears and i spent over half month for recover , but L4NC made me disappointed with their mic because they sometimes won't record my voice chat through whatsapp , also they sometimes makes other ppl voice chat that sent to me became silence , not just me but some my friends have this issue as well , so makes me having a hard time to trust soundcore anymore.
Andy that was an absolutely ridiculous battery comparison. The Openrock Pro and S variants have the same if not better battery numbers. I'm starting to lose the faith that you're not just shilling man.
What part of that comparison was not correct? The numbers? The rankings? The fact that I was comparing earbuds that cost roughly the same? By the way I just started working on my next comparison which will include the OpenRock S and other more affordable open-ears many of which have longer battery life than these premium ones. But I like comparing products from the same price bracket and not just pick stuff randomly based on specs
@@AndysTechTone Your numbers may have been accurate for the Soundcore Aerofit but your description is the issue Andy. Best in class I could perhaps accept as a description but even that is problematic. I guess it breaks down to price-point as the metric but it would seem to me the better metric is functionally based on your real world testing. In fairness, the entry level Soundcore Aerofit, which was included in your critique, is the same price as the Oneodio Openrock Pro.
@@STR82DVD I always refer to battery life as class leading so not sure what you mean. The AeroFit is barely mentioned at the end of the video and I have never compared it to the others, it's not listed in the battery comparison charts either. I only compared it to the AeroFit Pro, because the two were announced together as two models of the same line and I simply wanted to give some context. Hope that makes sense
@@AndysTechTone Fair enough. I could be biased. It's possible being human and all. I'll have to consider it. Thanks for responding to criticism reasonably. I'm a teacher, it's appreciated.

As long as it's all about new EQ settings then I don't think there is need for another review
@@AndysTechTone maybe take a look at
@@gavinlenthall2076 will do for sure

The competition just makes this category more and more exciting!
That mic is AWFUL! My Liberty Air 2 Pros sound 1000x better
But now we are comparing open-ear buds to stem-style in-ears...
Great video comparison! I would love to see an updated open ear comparison! Are the Arc II's still the loudest open ear headphones?
Yeah, I'll have to make another comparison for sure. The Arc II is still the loudest
Great video Andy. Wich sound better, the oladance pro ot the soundcore pro?
That's for another comparison
If I want them for watching shows on my iPad while working out are they good? Will they fall during exercises?
You will be absolutely fine
@@AndysTechTone I get clicking noises with mine randomly. Do you get that? Use on iPad. Warranty replaced buds not case same issue.
Hello mate great job, can you do comparison of the Aerofit pro and Oladance Pro.
Will do that soon
Hey Andy,
Great video and thank you so much for the amazing review.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this vs the 1More S50? If you could make a VS video between the different individual competitors, that would be awesome.
I'll probably do something like that soon enough
Thanks for reviewing these Andy - great to see more manufacturers bringing this style to market. Can you comment on whether you noticed any white/residual noise on the Pro compared to, for example, the clean audio of the Shokz OpenFit?
It's just as clean if not better than the Shokz
Very good review. Handsome daddy too. 😘
Open earbuds best for ear 👂 health this is safe . Buds not safe
true

I heard sound tests from other reviewer & it was the best sounding
Hi Andy. Thanks for another great Vid, its good to see the channel creeping up, i wish you all the best in growing your channel. Quality content. ignore the naysayers 😉
Thanks man, getting there slowly...
Will be interesting to see the comparison with these and the new oladance ows sport. Which will be released 11/30/23
That would be interesting indeed 😎
I like these over the openfit pro. The battery drains super quick in the openfit pros in the case and the buds. with the neckband it fits much better than the shokz...
These are indeed superior to the OpenFit from multiple aspects
Are these better than JBL soundgear sense? Sound, comfort?
Not sure, I've never tested the JBL buds
@@AndysTechTone try to find them and test. I got them, they are really amazing and now I am just wondering if JBL were the best choice. Speaking just about the open-ear, for outside sports and keeping the awearness
Hi, thanks for your video. I read in other reviews that maybe uncomfortable. Also anyone with small ears using them? Thanks.
guys, im rly confused which one to go for,,.. this one aerofire pro or shokz?
How about the latency? I plan on using it for watching videos amd gaming too.
How would you compare the non-pro to shokz openfit in terms of sound quality?
i just bought the aero fit pro but i feel the volume level is too low which is quite regret , i can understand the lack of bass but the highs are way too low volume as well
The sound is amazing
Just got the aerofit pro and the bass is better than the ows pro. However, the sound quality is bad it sounds muffled in comparison to ows pro. Maybe i got a defective one who knows
The position of the speakers relative to your ear canals can effect the sound big time in my experience, but the bass is indeed great on the pro
Do you like these better than the OWS 2. I got the OWS2 and love them but need they fit lose and need those earbud supports and I hate the touch controls so I want to know would the soundcore be better only if the sound and push buttons are that much better because I do love the OWS 2 sound.

With these the fit can greatly vary from person to person and that can impact the perception of sound quality too
Hi, how do they sound, compared to the Olodance Pro's.
that's for another video
W8ting for this bad boys to be available here in the Philippines
definitely worth the wait
do these support wireless charging?
Nope, but it's in the video
How is the sound leakage on these?
My wife used this while helping the kids get to sleep the other day. None of them noticed anything. So I guess they are alright
Looking forward seeing that next comparison video. Thanks for another great review, Andy!
thanks, it's coming soon but there will be six buds in it which means a lot of work 😊

Since your ear canals are open there will be wind noise on the bike but that's normal
@@AndysTechTone yeah. God forbid a deaf man asking questions about a set of headphones.
Another great review. Open ear are not for me but they are looking more appealing
They are getting better and better each day now 😎
Thank you for another great review, Andy! 👍
My pleasure as always
Thanks for the review. What's the noise leak like? If I'm in the gym (not on treadmill) will others near me hear my music?
The noise leak is about average but close to full volume it's noticeable. So iIt all depends on how loud you listen to your own stuff and also on how loud music is in the gym in the first place.

@@danclarkeuk avg for open-ears which is usually louder than in-ears

In real life these look great
Thank you for excellent and detailed review Andy, hoping to get a pair soon 😁
No problem 👍 hope you get one soon 😎

can you have spatial audio with a custom eq at once?
It's either one or the other
