Anker: New Soundcore AeroFit (Pro) open-ear headphones ensure clear ears in traffic and the like
Anker has introduced two special earphones via its Soundcore audio brand, initially only for the USA. The new Soundcore AeroFit and AeroFit Pro models are open-ear headphones that leave your ears free.
OpenRock, among others, recently brought similar products onto the market in this area with the OpenRock S and OpenRock Pro. Now Anker is pushing its first two representatives onto the market for open-ear models, which has so far been dominated by bone conduction headphones.
The new Soundcore AeroFit (Pro) do not rely on bone sound, but are placed directly in front of the ear opening. This leaves the ear free so that the surroundings can still be heard. This is usually severely restricted or not possible when wearing classic in-ear headphones, which can lead to dangerous situations in road traffic, for example.
The AeroFit are equipped with 14 mm drivers. In the Pro version, they measure 16.2 mm. Together with the included charging case, it also offers a slightly longer battery life of up to 46 hours and supports LDAC and spatial audio. Both have four built-in microphones and AI technology for telephony and can be configured via an app. They are also water and sweat-resistant according to IPX7 or IPX5.
In the USA Anker is selling the Soundcore AeroFit for $129.99, while the Pro model costs $169.99. When the new Soundcore AeroFit (Pro) will be launched in other markets remains unclear, but it is unlikely to take long.
