Even as active The noise canceling and transparency modes of the earbuds are very sharp, many people want something that lets them hear the world around them. Whether that’s for cycling, exercise, or just walking the dog, the Anker Soundcore Aeroclip is our favorite choice for most people, and they are currently marked down to just $110 on Amazon$60 break from regular price.

Soundcore by Anker

Aeroclip

One of the most important factors in a pair of open earbuds is fit, and Anker uses a “titanium memory” insert, rated for up to 20,000 turns, which should keep them in all but the smallest ears, with additional grips to help keep them secure. They are not as hard or flexible as Bose Ultra Open Earbudsbut for less than half the price you get a ton of value here, and they can act as a second pair of buds if you need to stay alert. They use arrow touch controls that hold the two pieces together, and you can customize them in the app. You can also find a true multiband equalizer, and multipoint pairing allows you to easily switch between devices.

Despite not actually going into your ear canal, the Aeroclip has a surprisingly good sound profile, with good detail and brightness for the form factor. You’ll feel the biggest loss when it comes to the low end, because the low frequencies rely on good occlusion of incoming sound. Of course, they still allow you to track passing cars, screaming children, or barking dogs, for better or worse. That’s a trade-off you can happily make to keep Steely Dan going all day.

The Soundcore Aeroclip is available in four colors, and I saw the same $60 discount on all of them, including Champagne Mist, Blue Glacier, midnightand Rosy Brown.
