Throughout the years, I've used a variety of earphones, including over-the-ear headphones, in-ear monitors (IEMs), bone-conduction, and earphones that clip onto your earlobe. As each style has its own advantages and disadvantages, I wasn't expecting the Soundcore AeroFit Pro to sound as good as it does.
First, let's talk about the fit. IEMs tend to have over the ear hooks, and I used bluetooth adapters that have a very similar design to the AeroFit Pro with a large unit behind the ear and a flexible band going over the ear. I wear glasses, and they fit without any issues at all. You can feel them lightly touching your ear, but you soon forget they’re there at all. And if you’re looking to exercise, you can attach the adjustable band for extra stability, but it’s entirely optional. They don’t move once they’re in place.
So how about the sound? Simply, they sound clear, detailed and have a rich bass response. The volume is loud enough to drown out any background sounds, or turn it down and enjoy the music while still being present in your environment. And normally, even with over-the-ear headphones, you need a good seal for good bass response. But Soundcore has worked some magic and the bass sounds amazing. On “Imagine Dragons – Thunder”, you can hear the steady sub-bass tones in the background. Truly impressive when you consider that they are open-ear.
If you don't like the tuning, open the Soundcore app and you'll be able to customize the 6-band EQ to get the sound you want. Additionally, you can activate the spatial audio setting, which creates the sense that sound is coming from all around you. On top of all that, you have the option to customize the physical button on each earphone to play/pause, skip tracks, change the volume or activate voice assistance. And you can set a double-press shortcut as well.
Finally, the case. The size is very similar to two AirPods Pro cases beside each other, and only slightly thicker. So you shouldn’t have any trouble throwing it in any pocket and keeping it with you all day to recharge the headphones when necessary. Not that you’ll need to recharge often, as the batteries on the earphones last over 10 hours.
The only two things that I wish Soundcore would consider for a second version would be wireless charging on the case, and a second button or two on the part of your headphone that goes behind your ear. It’s a very comfortable place to have additional controls as you don’t need to touch the speaker, and the battery side is very securely fit behind your ear so pressing buttons won’t move it at all.
Overall, these are as much a game-changer as bone-conduction headphones were when they were introduced. The Soundcore AeroFit Pro gives much better, and louder, sound than any bone-conduction headphone on the market while not blocking out outside noises.
