soundcore C30i | Open-Ear Clip Earbuds with Secure Fit

My ear holes are garbage. They're both small and one is funny shaped, so I have a problem with most ear buds. All of the "true wireless" ones tend to be wildly uncomfortable, fall out, or make me want to rip them out.I have been a huge fan of the LG Tone neckband style headphones for awhile, but the build quality on them is crap, the microphone stops working in short order, they stop charging, and ultimately they don't tend to hold up over time. After my last pair broke, I have been in a bit of a headphone rut. I really like the ability with the neck band headphones just to pull them out and let them retract into the band and sit on my shoulders not bothering me. The true wireless ones don't have an option to be at the ready, but not blocking your hearing- you can leave them in your ears or have to carry around the case and put them in. Once I slide these onto my ears, I often forget I'm wearing them until my wife asks me if I'm listening to something or just not paying attention.I'm not an audio snob, so I can't really say how their performance is to other headphones, but I've definitely used worse headphones over the years and have been fairly happy with them quality wise. My primarily use of these are for podcasts/audiobooks/youtube with the occasional work call. I haven't had any issue with the sound and no one has complained about my mic.My negatives- the controls are ok, but I would like some better tactile feedback and multiple buttons, tapping the side of my head repeatedly and hoping to get the right option is meh. I wish that they had the option to vibrate for notifications or phone calls. I also wish they had a higher waterproof rating so I could take them in the shower, because I forget they're on and have almost gotten in the shower with them a number of times.Bottom line, if I had an unlimited supply of money, I'd stock up on those neckband LGs that I like because they're really convenient and definitely my preferred form factor. But since I work for a living and don't like pissing away money on headphones that last for less than a year, I'd buy these again in a heartbeat.

Surprised how well these sound given their open ear. One single complaint: they’re a little snug on the ear. Since it’s all one hard plastic piece, there isn’t much room to wiggle around or make it slightly less tight on the back of the ear.

They fit a little too loose (small ears) even with the guards but are otherwise comfortable and lightweight. The Bose open ear buds fit significantly better in my ears but, to me,the sound quality is on par with the Bose ones for a fraction of the price. I can deal with a little wiggling for a $200-ish dollar savings.

I am always looking for headphones that don't go in my ear. I have a pair of the over-the-ear from soundcore, so when I saw these I was really excited. The sound comes through great and they are very comfortable. It may take a moment to get proficient on the controls but otherwise I will definitely buy these again!

Had these in my cart for a while and finally decided to purchase. They are exactly what I was looking for. The price is amazing and the quality is great. The sound is perfect and controls easy. I let them get a full charge when first received and haven't needed to charge again about 2 weeks of daily/light use.
