V20i by Anker Open-Ear Headphones, Adjustable Ear Hooks, Ultra-Comfort, Snug Fit, Powerful Sound, Clear Calls, IP55, LED Lights, 36H Playtime, Bluetooth 5.4 Earbuds, Multipoint Connection

I've had a white pair for a year and came back to buy a black pair. I advise against the white because they do look a bit like hearing aids. I have elephant ears and still find these to be the most comfortable earphones I've ever worn. I've had multiple occasions where I'm searching for the earphone while it's on my ear because it's so comfortable I forgot I was wearing it. Sound quality is great given the type of earphone, I struggle to imagine how the more expensive ones would be better, due to the mechanics of how these work. Upsides: can hear surroundings well - good for talking to people while listening (e.g. at work), don't make your ears sore, can wear all day, no possibility of ear infections, no waxy earbuds that you can't share with other people, great battery life, can lie down on them, range is decent, connecting to two devices is very seamless. Downsides are all just downsides of open-ear earphones: not usable in windy conditions, will leak sound to people nearby if played loudly, can't be super bassy, can't have noise cancellation. But those are true of all earphones of this type, not a slight on this product at all.

Great for what they are. They don’t block ambient sound, which I actually appreciate as it lets me be somewhat aware of my surroundings. I’m no music geek, so as far as I’m concerned the audio is pretty high quality. The fact that they don’t sit fully in the ear canal was initially strange, but it has its advantages when it comes to workouts and avoiding some of the sweat collection in the ear. I would definitely recommend following the instructions regarding wiping down after use, etc. Decent battery life; customisable touch controls (which do the job as needed). What gives this a full five stars for me, on top of the above, is that I received excellent customer support and a satisfactory arrangement regarding a component that stopped working after a few months of use. Good job, team.

I got these to replace my normal ear buds, as I have just started using hearing aids and wanted something compatible. The sound quality is good - but not quite as good as earbuds. I use them for both music and TV. They are very comfortable to wear, when I am not listening to anything I often forget I have them in. They work adequately with hearing aids in, but the sound is not quite as good as when you remove the hearing aids and can seat earphones more fully in your ear. (Understandable as the hearing tube which goes into the ear will block some sound in any case). Usefully, the settings let you adjust the left/right balance, which was very useful for me as I have mildly impaired hearing in only one ear - adjusting the balance slightly made a remarkable improvement. I am happy with the purchase, pleasantly surprised by the sound quality, and appreciate being also able to hear what is going on around me while I am listening to music. The 'Tap' controls on the earphones for volume, prev, next etc work well once you get the hang of them - no moving parts - just tap on the earphone. The case is compact enough and also has a built-in battery so it recharges the earphones even if you are using it to carry them in your pocket, it is also large enough to hold my hearing aids when I take them out (which is probably about 50% of my listening time). I have not gone back to the earbuds since I got them. I use them several hours a day and have not gone below half-charge yet - so the built-in battery seems adequate. Very good value for the money. Easy to put on and take off.

Very comfortable with great touch controls and decent sound quality. The comfort and control accessibility are what make these stand out. To be clear, there are easily better sound quality headphones on the market. But these are still definitely decent, and not bad by any stretch. Where these stand out is that they are incredibly light and comfotable, and are not in-ear so don't noise cancel your environment. Perfect for exercise and workouts, even highly vigourous and energeticelly mobile ones - there's no chance they'll fall out at all as the design goes over and down behind your ears, and the headphones themselves have 4 positions they can snap into to fit your ears personally. But they're also perfect for general usage too to be honest. The simple touch controls are highly customisable via the app to suit your preference and they work really well too. Finally I can do intensive boxercise whilst listening to Britney Spears as my inspiration without people assuming I'm gay.😂

I don't normally do reviews but give credit when its due, so here goes....The Anker Soundcore V20i earbuds offer an affordable open-ear design that stands out for its comfort and secure fit—ideal for workouts and active use. They deliver impressive call clarity, supported by four built-in microphones. While the audio performance is solid for the price, with punchy bass and customizable EQ settings, it doesn't quite match the detail of higher-end models. The open-ear format, which lacks active noise cancellation and may allow sound to leak at higher volumes but not a great deal i feel. overall, I highly recommend that if you are looking for a budget priced headphones will not fall out of your ear whilst talking , running, etc, Deliver good sound, not to mention an earphone that will not cause comfort distress of worn for a long period of time, then these are what you need in your life.......then these are the earphones for you... I honestly believe if you're not critical, you will be highly surprised.... well done, Anker 🎧🔊☺️🫶🤗

These were inexpensive and sound good. They’re open-ear so you shouldn’t expect skull-thumping bass (and I never would want that). These have nicely spaced sound, crisp clarity being their forte. I’ve only used them for a couple of hours or so but I have been very impressed. Can’t get my head around the supposed touch controls, but since I’m just using these for listening to music and podcasts and they’re controlled from my phone it’s not a bother. The charger case is small but nicely made from black plastic - it is rather easily marked, however. These fit my ears nicely and are comfortable for extended wear even with my glasses on. At £22 or any price really these are very satisfactory for use around the house or on a walk. The extra punch of bassier options might benefit in greater background noise. I can’t comment on the Soundcore app - it’s unlikely to be something I use, offering as it does various options based on the product connected. Overall, I’m very happy with these for a relatively negligible sum. The sound quality is the highlight, alongside the comfort.

great headphones with several adjustable angles to fit different size of ears. The hooks are not poking your ears and headphones are overall quite light in comparison to other similar products. the touch controls are good and responsive with different gestures which can be changed through the downloadable app on your phone along with several other settings such as sound effects and colourful light options (can be turned on or off). And finally for sound quality they are perfect, had them for about 8 months and they are working great.

I first discovered this style of headphone by ordering a cheap pair off Wish, they had awful sound quality but were comfortable and I thought they were a great idea and alternative. Happy to find these, made by a well established brand with many reputable products, these have sure met my expectations and are another win for the Anker portfolio. The sound quality is fantastic, quite rich with decent bass (not tinny like those Wish ones) Very simple to use, you don't have to use them with the app, you can simply pair them with your phone via bluetooth and start playing your music, you can use your native graphic equaliser, I see no benefit in using the app and would rather not have my music history data monetised for others to profit - is nothing sacred anymore? Lol. Totally recommend these. They wont fall off your ears and are stable during exercise. If walking the street with modest volume you can hear everything happening around you (traffic, e/bikes/scooters, people walking behind you) so great for safety and spacial awareness. Choose how much of the "world" you wish to be aware off by using your 'volume turned up' as a 'world turned down' feature and find a balance relative to your environment =)
