[@cheekbones2]

What a densely packed comparison in great detail. I was surprised how the microphones all seem to struggle. Worth/necessary to watch again...

[@knicks2030]

The Shokz OpenFit and Soundcore did pretty good, but the others were terrible.

[@STR82DVD]

Merry Christmas Andy lad. Brilliant stuff.

[@chrymartin]

Thanks for the video... Happy New year 🎊🎊🎊

[@AndysTechTone]

Thanks & same to you!

[@vigneshbalasubramoniam5669]

Thank you Andy for the well-constructed review, have been waiting for a long time for this, loving the modular flexibility and overall sound of aerofit pros

[@AndysTechTone]

That detachable neckband itself deserves some sort of award 😊

[@user-qn1zj5bs5p]

@@AndysTechTonebut another youtuber also said that aerofit pro has the problem that makes the bass disappeared after certain volume which is quite a deal breaker for me

[@jeremymorrison3494]

Dayum Andy, that was very comprehensive and a well put together vid as always. A belated merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Let see the new year grow your channel as it rightly deserves. Best Regards Jeremy

[@AndysTechTone]

Thanks Jeremy, many happy returns 😊

[@_-Z-]

Thank you for another great one, Andy! 👍

[@AndysTechTone]

No worries man 😊

[@nusu5331]

Another great review, thank you! I wonder where the Openrock pros would arrange in that order. From all the open ears i bought i still like the Tozo Open Buds, the Fiio Jade JD1 and the Blackview airbuds 10 the best. The Fiios have amazing tone and timbre and sound exceptionally live like for such a cheap set. Out of head experiance is almost as good as with the tozos. The Blackview offer a warm and cozy sound, specially good for relaxing. Nr. 1out of those are the Tozos for me personally. They are super comfortable, have long battery life and in terms of sound they offer deep and dry bass and the most out of the head experience regarding soundstage of any headphone i heard in 15 yrs in the hobby. In that regard they even crush any of my overear open back planar headphones which range between 10 to 30 times pricier than the Tozos. It still is interesting to explore those cheap little all day TWS sets tho.

[@AndysTechTone]

The Openrock Pros are just outside my top five but certainly somewhere in the top 10. I also did a comparison with some more affordable open-ears and they measure up pretty well to even higher standards as you said

[@Cycle774]

Great review, thank you. Which work the best for eyeglass wearers?

[@tekmantoo]

I have the Shokz and they don't interfere with my eyeglasses at all. Since they all have a similar style, I would think they all would work fine with eyeglasses.

[@jdmdang]

nice man, gnna watch this and check out other vids for a good set of gym buds. just getting back into the gym again could use 2 new pairs

[@AndysTechTone]

These are probably better suited for outside use, you might want something with ANC for the gym such as the Jabra Elite 8 Active. Haven't reviewed those yet but I'm working on it

[@michaelanthonytollan]

Good reviews but not all can use different earbuds for different situations. So with one have the best sound when it comes to bass ?I had the shokz but I lost them I loved them a lot .but any ones better ??I need to get new ones and don't want to bulky on ear .I use them mostly for power walking .. ..and when ever I am out about ....

[@alexpolalex844]

Are openear better than in ears in your oppinion? I had never openears. Is the sound good?

[@EricPangilinan]

How do they compare with the TOZO OpenBuds or OpenEgo?

[@saucy-wi6ft]

As usual Another banger video

[@AndysTechTone]

Appreciate it 😎

[@nghtguy13]

Just got my oladance pros... Phenomenal. :) I completely forget I have them on. Sound quality is a 10. The sound genuinely feels like I have in ear headphones and the bass feels very bass-y, especially for open ear headphones. The controls are a little odd at first, but I freaking lovvvvve not accidentally tapping them and changing the track or pausing or whatever... I freaking hateeeee that aspect with earbuds. Alsoooo, the noise canceling thing is pretty cool and surprisingly functional. The battery! It's insane. It never dies. Lol it just goes and goes and goes. 😮

[@AndysTechTone]

You're absolutely right about the controls and the comfort too 😊

[@jdmdang]

always been a fan of soundcore products. ill probably buy those , but gotta watch 4 of ur other vids first

[@AndysTechTone]

Have you watched them all yet? 😎

[@jdmdang]

Yes i did, and youre right the Jabra Elite 8 Active might be best for me. as I do own a pair of the elite 75t? i believe; but the sound in one bud is not working properly even after tried to reset by picking the little hole it has. Worked super well in the sauna and did not ever shut down compared to other buds like Soundcore Life p3 which shuts down automatically. and those buds i gave to my ex lol@@AndysTechTone

[@markramirezg]

Thanks for the video, 2 questions 1rst which one will be better for small ears 2do the souncord opnfit (non pro) is good?

[@AndysTechTone]

The Shokz will fit smaller ears probably the best, the AeroFit is good but I like the Pro more

[@diegot143]

Great informative video!

[@AndysTechTone]

Glad you found it useful, thanks for watching 😊

[@diegot143]

The song you had was amazing too! Thanks for putting out there

[@Dannytraining]

Best one for cycling?

[@alur9160]

Great video Andy. I bought the soudcore a few days ago and I was very disappointed, I didn't like the sound quality. The big absentee in your video are the Tozo openbuds, which have much better sound than the soundcore at a great price. I wish you could do a review of them.

[@AndysTechTone]

The Tozo Open Buds belong in a different price bracket...

[@jcs480able]

Man, the Tozo Openbuds are unbelievable for the money. The mics are so good that I regularly use them at work driving a loud truck. Everyone says I sound crystal clear. I have no desire to try much of anything else because, like a Popeye's Chicken sandwich, I'm probably going to be disappointed.

[@BillyNewport-ez2vn]

Shokz openfit. I don't get an allergic reaction behind and at the top of my ears, I do with the oledance. They are hard to hear when it's windy when I run. Their mics are great. They don't have buttons which means they activate randomly when I wear a hat with a sun protector. I actually switched back to my Shokz open run's because I can hear them, comfortable, no reaction and buttons.

[@AndysTechTone]

I've never had an allergic reaction like that so I can only imagine how frustrating that could be. The rest is a matter of personal preference of course

[@BillyNewport-ez2vn]

I was fine until the pandemic. Then meetings with huds for hours a day for months and whammo

[@henribommart4052]

thks for the review. I was looking at the 1 more fit for intense workout, but it doesn't turn off (so need to carry the case all time) which is a no go for me. Is that the case of the other ones ?

[@AndysTechTone]

I talk about it in the video

[@knicks2030]

Thanks for the microphone tests! Not all videos have this and is a huge feature for me! I want to like the Areofit Pro, but the mic quality has been inconsistent and I have heard it sound worse more than good. In your video, it sounded just as good as the OpenFit while the the other 3 sounded terrible for call quality.

[@AndysTechTone]

Glad you like the audio samples! Mic quality can vary depending on a lot of factors, al I'm trying to do is give you samples that are at least recorded under similar conditions.

[@gemgem5944]

So which one have the best microphone?

[@StasBakaliar]

Thanks for this video. I'm missing the microphone quality comparison here. It's one of the most important features to me.

[@jameshenry4665]

Hi Andy, thanks for much for the review. I've been watching a lot of your stuff on open ear goodness. The reviews are so well laid out. Do you know of an open ear style headphone that supports aptX-LL? I think the cleer arc II is probably the least in terms of Bluetooth latency but is not aptx-LL. Any input from yourself? 😊

[@AndysTechTone]

The Arc II supports both aptX Lossless and aptX Adaptive which combined with the proper source can give you low latency

[@jameshenry4665]

Hi Andy, thought I replied. Thanks for getting back to me. The arc II seems like a good choice but I can't get them in aust without paying 400 AUD plus.. too much. The game edition with a USB dongle seems to be an Asia only exclusive and not 100% sure it's even available for sale. I know it's not about latency with aerofit but I can't even get that here too. I looked at the 1more s50 and it's available here. Will likely give them a go. Thanks for your top notch reviews Andy.

[@giovanniprado3887]

i had shokz, 1 more, soundcore but gave it my siblings because of tozo open buds. tozo is the best sounding open earbuds right now.

[@AndysTechTone]

Tozo buds tend to sound really good but I haven't tested the Open Buds yet so not sure about their sound

[@badran6290]

interesting.. I have Tozo open and 1more s50, and i prefer the s50.. even though the base is not as strong as Tozo, still i feel the sound of s50 is more premium (clearer with wider stage) while the mids in Tozo sounds a bit muffled

[@Blu3_777]

​@@badran6290which one has more sub bass

[@Nutsackfart]

@badran6290 Are the s50 louder than the tozos? I own the tozo and they aren't that loud

[@Enhanz]

​@@Nutsackfartthey're louder yes

[@MichaelL.Kinasiewicz]

Can ANYONE tell me which open ear buds fit GIANT ears the best? I can see Andy's ears are about 1/2 as big as mine, and I've tried two brands already and neither of them fit. TIA!!!

[@deersakamoto2167]

5:14 multipoint Does "multipoint" just mean 2 devices at once? Does any of them do more than 2 devices?

yeah, only 2 devices

@@AndysTechTone yes I know and apologize, but it's important for me and .can you help ? what's your recommend ?

[@AndysTechTone]

@@Mehrdad_rad I don't do "very loud with heavy bass" comparisons but if all you want is bass get the Tempo 30 while saving some money or for a more sophisticated and balanced sound get the Opera05. I've never used the v22 so don't know nothing about it

[@mikehancock6280]

I received my first pair of open ear tws. They are similar to the Tozo called Onn. The Onn sound amazing.I also have the Bose QC Ultra earbuds and am preferring the Onn open earbuds for how good they are. I was a skeptic but now I believe.

[@AndysTechTone]

Comparing in-ears with ANC to open-ears is kind of an apples and oranges situation I reckon

[@nusu5331]

why would one compare an open ear with a sealed and even noise cancelling iem?? They fit the completely opposite use cases. The open ears are much more comfortable for long listening session when beeing alone in a quite room, while you can still hear the door bell and what not, while sealed iems specially with anc are for public transportation and plane rides where ou want to blend out your surroundings.

[@mikehancock6280]

@@nusu5331 l didn’t give a comparison but my preference. Of course everything you said holds true in a comparison.

[@joelsharrock7732]

I think the Oladance pro are a little overpriced but i agree they are very good overall and sound great- with the latest update, the white noise that was pretty strong when they were first released seems to have reduced so now seem to be sounding much better than when they first came out
