Soundcore by anker life note c2/17/2024 ![]() I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Anker Soundcore AeroFit Pro actually fit during workouts. It clips to the ends of the earbuds via strong magnets and doesn’t budget once attached. And the neckband is easy to attach and detach. That said, if I were riding a bike, I’d definitely attach that neckband as an extra safety measure against losing them. For my gym workout, I even took the included neckband with me in case the AFP fell out, but I never attached it because the fit was so solid. No movement! These are a joy to wear during workouts. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I hit the local elevated metro train stop to run stairs and then again when I went to the gym. My other concern besides having to hear their music over my own was actually how well these would stay on my head because when you first put them on, the part that holds the speakers over your ears feels like they’re just dangling off the side of your ears. That’s great for me because I was actually lamenting having to use something during my workout, which would hinder my ability to zone out and focus on that mind/muscle connection. ![]() I couldn’t really hear their music over the sound the AFPs produced. That said, I was actually surprised by how well these open-ear earbuds overpowered the terrible gym music playing over the house speakers at the gym I go to. You’ll notice this at the beginning of the Gojira track “Stranded,” where the drum intro comes in. Speed metal tracks like those from Gojira and Sylosis fare better overall, but they will still be a bit light in the bass response as well. There’s no sub-bass to be had in the reproduction of that track, while you do get some decent thump at the higher bass frequency, and it sounds fine. As I stated before, bass and sub-bass are the weaknesses of bone conduction and open-ear earbuds, and that weakness shows up when listening to tracks like “A Milli” from Lil’ Wayne. So, let’s get more into my experience with the AeroFit Pro. The former is IPX7, and the latter is IPX5 water-resistant. The only area where the AF has the AFP beat is in water resistance. You’ll get more battery life, that larger set of dynamic drivers, spatial audio (though that was not that great, more in a moment), LDAC support, and physical buttons instead of touch-based controls. I wasn’t all that impressed with the AF sound reproduction for the money, and I’d definitely recommend spending the additional $40 and going with the AFP model. ![]() flac files and lossless streaming tracks, I enjoyed my time with the AeroFit Pros more than the AeroFits. That sound will be fuller, so you can turn the music down and compete less with ambient sound out on the street and still have good quality sound.Īdmittedly, after going through my local. In the gym and on the street, you’re going to get more “loudness” to fight competing ambient sounds. What bass there is to be experienced will be a bit more robust than that of the AFs. From the larger drivers, coupled with LDAC support, you’re going to get bigger, fuller sound out of the AFPs. You will hear the difference in sound if you audition both units. The AeroFit Pro (which I’ll also refer to as AFP) come with 16.2mm dynamic drivers, while the AeroFit ( AF) have 14mm dynamic drivers. However, the lack of punch is inherent in this technology. ![]() Neither of these is going to “wow” hip-hop fans with their bass response. And that makes a big difference in my testing of both of these units. You’re basically wearing a boombox next to your ears, walking around like a 2024 version of Radio Raheem. So, let’s get right to it, shall we? Let us begin with the sound quality of both the AeroFit and AeroFit Pro. Anker Soundcore AeroFit (l), AeroFit Pro (r) (Image credit: Tshaka Armstrong)
