Comfort and performance
The AeroFit 2 Pros are my new everyday carry. Previously, I used Shokz OpenFit Air for workouts and Pixel Buds Pro for everything else. The secure fit of the Shokz OpenFit Air is only surpassed by the comfort they afford during long term wear. I found the touch controls lacking. The Pixel Buds Pro are feature rich with ANC and transparency mode for when I want the open earbud experience. Pixel hardware gets continuous software and function updates. Too bad they they keep slipping out of my ears and cause ear discomfort after long term wear. Enter Soundcore. They offer better comfort and security than my Shokz and give me the open ear experience and sealed ANC when I want it. These have replaced two sets of earbuds that were each more expensive. The sound in open mode is better and can achieve higher volumes than my Shokz and the ANC is on par with my Pixel Buds. LDAC drains battery life and de-synchs video and audio, but is great for music. The case is large but the fact that I can wirelessly charge it like my Pixel Buds case makes it worth it to me.
