If you've ever struggled with earbuds falling out mid-run or felt disconnected from your surroundings while wearing noise-canceling headphones, you’re not alone. That’s where Soundcore’s AeroClip comes in. These open-ear, clip-on earbuds promise a comfortable fit that stays in place without blocking external sound—ideal for runners, cyclists, and anyone who wants to stay aware while listening to music. But do they actually deliver on that promise? Here’s what to know.

Most wireless earbuds sit snugly inside your ear canal or hook around your ear. The AeroClip, however, clips onto the outer cartilage of your ear using a flexible, open-ring connector. This design keeps the earbuds securely in place without pressing into your ears. Inside the connector, there’s a titanium wire that helps maintain shape and stability, so they won’t budge while you're moving around.

If you have smaller ears, Soundcore includes optional ear grips that can be attached for a tighter fit. This could be a game-changer for runners or anyone who’s had earbuds fall out mid-workout.

Since the AeroClip doesn’t block your ears, you can still hear what's happening around you—no need for a transparency mode like with noise-canceling earbuds. This makes them a solid option for outdoor activities, where staying aware of traffic, people, or your environment is important.

The acoustic chamber inside the AeroClip is 37% smaller than the previous Soundcore C30i, which is meant to reduce pressure on the ear and help with long-term comfort. If traditional earbuds make your ears feel fatigued after a while, this design might be worth considering.

Inside each earbud, 12mm titanium-coated drivers handle the audio, aiming for a balanced, natural sound. Soundcore also built in AI-powered bass enhancement, which automatically boosts low frequencies in real-time.

If you like to fine-tune your sound, the Soundcore app (iOS & Android) lets you adjust EQ settings and sound profiles. This gives you some flexibility to shape the sound the way you like it.

One of the main features of the AeroClip is Full-Surface Tap Control, meaning you can tap anywhere on the earbud to control music, calls, or voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri. No need to fumble for tiny buttons—just tap and go.

Another handy feature is multipoint connectivity, which lets you pair the AeroClip with two devices at the same time. That means you can switch between your phone and laptop without having to manually reconnect.

Battery life is always a big question with wireless earbuds, and the AeroClip offers up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge (at 50% volume). The charging case provides an additional 24 hours, bringing the total to 32 hours before you need to find an outlet.

If you need a quick boost, a 10-minute charge in the case gives you up to 3 more hours of listening time, making it easy to power up in a hurry.

The IPX4 water resistance rating means the AeroClip can handle sweat and light rain, so they should be fine for workouts and outdoor use. However, they’re not waterproof, so they’re not meant for swimming or heavy rain.

The Soundcore AeroClip is available now in three colors: Midnight, Champagne Mist, and Rosy Brown. They’re priced at $129.99 and can be purchased from Amazon and Soundcore’s website.
