THE IDEA OF open earbuds is that they provide better awareness of your surroundings than regular earbuds or headphones, while being secure enough to exercise with.

The AeroClip, available in Midnight, Champagne Mist and Rosy Brown, is the latest and most advanced member of the Soundcore open-ear family, with more tech than the C30i or C40i models, though at a higher price.
