Ordered the Anker Soundcore Open Air V20i earbuds. They arrived a couple of days after ordering packaged well and in excellent condition.The earbuds were far better than I thought they would be, especially for the price and the lower star reviews I read before purchasing. The are extremely light and fit comfortably over my ears and rest very gently against the outside of my ears. I can hardly tell I have them on. I have issues wearing "in the ear" earbuds as my ear canals don't play well with those and they are usually very uncomfortable for me to wear any amount of time. The sound quality is top notch (Anker Soundcore living up to the high standards I've come to know them for as I have several of their products and all of them are high quality). If you have the Soundcore app (I highly recommend downloading it) the controls are easy to set up and adjustments are easily made. There is a plethora of information for the earbuds on the app as well as all the instructions and technical data so you can discard the booklet that comes with the earbuds without worry.The earbuds hang on my ears and do not move no matter what I do. I have exercised in about every way possible whike wearing them and have sweated, a lot, and the earbuds did not budge, at all. They didn't even slip and the sounds never changed. I've ran and walked in high wind environments and was able to adjust the volume to where I could still easily hear the music and what was going on around me. I've had my head at multiple positions and even jerked it around and the earbuds still didn't move or need any adjustments.As for call quality, I couldn't be more impressed! I have used them for several calls indoors and outdoors and while driving. In each environment the call quality has been top notch and crystal clear. The person on the other end have told me that they could hear me perfectly and not any background noise around me. I would assume if you were in a high noise environment that it would affect the quality but so far, I've been in slightly elevated background noise environments and the quality has been perfect. I made a call the other day while I was outside and the wind was blowing and gusting pretty decently and it didn't affect the call quality at all. So far, I've been very impressed!The charging case is quite convenient. The earbuds sit in it well and shut themselves down and automatically charge when placed in the case. And they automatically turn on and are ready for use when you remove them from the case. I have used the earbuds everyday for over a week and they seem to do farily well on a charge and they charge quickly when placed back in the case. The case fits easily in my pocket as well and seems like it should protect the earbuds from most typical impacts. I wouldn't recommend dropping the case with the buds in them as the lid doesn't friction snap closed or use a clip to keep it closed. It just rests closed but with decent enough pressure to keep the lid from coming open unexpectedly. Overall, the case is probably a weak point mainly due to the lid not having locking/holding closure mechanism.In all, the Anker Soundcore Open Ear V20i earbuds have been the best Bluetooth earbuds I've owned so far and for the price you DEFINITELY can't go wrong with these!

I haven't run into a con yet but last year I purchased the Soundcore by Anker V30i and honestly loved them at the time. I was specifically looking for a set with clear call quality as I was using them for work. I paid close to $50 for that pair. They were so comfortable I often forgot I was wearing them. I went with those initially because I assumed that since they were newer that they were better but boy was I wrong.Fast forward to this year. I misplaced the Soundcore by Anker V30i and really didn't want to spend another $50 on a pair of earbuds. So when I saw these for $30 comparing the descriptions, I figured it was worth a shot. I am blown away. Not only do you get clear noise cancelled calls, but the sound is beautiful when listening to music and my favorite part, after syncing it to a device, it auto syncs every use even if it was connected to another device. For example, I synced it to my computer at home and the computer at the office. I worked from home yesterday and when I came in this morning I put the earbuds in and it automatically synced to the office computer without me having to look in the blutooth config to reconnect it.I can't believe I almost forgot the snug fit. The three different adjustments are perfect for all ear sizes. The Soundcore by Anker V30i was really lose on my ear so when I would put my hair up it would get caught on fly off. With the snug fit it doesn't get caught in my hair.Not sure about the battery life yet. Only had it for a few days but I will update like I am updating the review for the Soundcore by Anker V30i that I left.Really wish I would have given this one a try from the beginning.

My lifelong struggle with standard earbuds stem from two things:-I dislike sticking anything inside my ear canal.-I dislike noise-cancellation because I’m hearing-impaired, which makes it harder to be situationally-aware.So on that note, on this concept, these are an obvious solution. I recently learned about over-ear earbuds, and this is the first pair I’ve tried. Before this, I used Beats Flex with just one earbud in so I could still hear. So that’s where I’m coming from as I’m reviewing this product.The sound quality, at least to me, is as good as the Beats Flex. With the benefit of also being able to hear louder environmental noises (vehicles nearby, a knock at the door, my name being called). I also like how you can customize the controls, and I set to pause with one touch.The ear clasp is sturdy so I don’t have to worry about losing an earbud, which is the main reason I kept buying the Beats Flex.Moving from the Beats Flex to these has a few cons:-I miss having the neckband from the Beats Flex earbuds, where I could pull out the earbud, and the magnetic feature that auto-pauses when the earbuds meet. However the one-touch pause control from these over-ear earbuds allows me a similar benefit, since these don’t fully obstruct the ear canal.-The battery life of these over-ear earbuds isn’t quite as good as the Beats Flex, but the extra charge from the case adds a lot more battery life, and it charges very quickly, so this is quickly forgiven.-They aren’t as comfortable as the Beats Flex. The ear clasp on this pair puts mild pressure around my outer ear, even though they’re adjustable. However, this could be due to my glasses laying on top of them.Overall, I’m happy with the purchase- The pros outweigh the cons. But I hope Anker keeps upgrading the design to improve comfortability. If it weren’t for that, I’d give it the full 5 stars.
