Soundcore's Aerofit 2 Pro earbuds, designed to offer noise canceling in an open-ear design, were recently tested by Wired, revealing both innovative features and some drawbacks. The earbuds, which physically transform between open and closed modes, aim to provide full sound and effective noise cancellation, but were criticized for their bulky design and inconsistent performance.
The Aerofit 2 Pro's unique design allows users to switch between open-ear and noise-canceling modes, a feature that sets them apart from other open-ear noise-canceling earbuds, according to Wired. The publication noted the earbuds' "innovative design" and "good features and battery life." However, the review also highlighted the earbuds' "big and heavy" case and the awkwardness of changing between fit modes. The noise canceling was also deemed "unstable and inconsistent."
