I tried using Anker's ear cuff-type wireless earphones 'Soundcore AeroClip,' which are about 6g light and comfortable to wear, and offer dynamic sound.

The Soundcore AeroClip package looks like this:

The contents include the Soundcore AeroClip case and main unit, two sizes of replacement ear cuff caps, a USB-C cable for charging, and instruction manual.

The Soundcore AeroClip's charging case is a rectangular prism with rounded corners.

The actual size of the charging case is approximately 6 cm wide, 3 cm deep, and 4 cm high. When you hold it in your hand, it looks like this.

The back of the charging case has a USB-C port for charging and a reset button.
When you open the charging case, it looks like this:

The earphones are approximately 2.8mm wide and 2.5mm high.

The actual weight of the earphones is 12g for both ears.

With the case it weighs 53g.

The Soundcore AeroClip earphones are not in-ear type, but rather ear cuff type, with the smaller earbuds positioned in front of the ear and the larger ones positioned behind the ear.

For those who wear them in front of the ears, there are microphones on both sides of the bridge and a speaker on the bottom right of the image.

To put on or take off, simply open the Soundcore AeroClip slightly and clip it onto your ear. Some ear cuff-style earphones have a hook that hangs over the ear, but ear hooks tend to interfere with glasses or sunglasses. The Soundcore AeroClip has an ear-clipping accessory design, making it easy to wear with glasses or sunglasses.

By moving the bridge up and down while wearing them, you can adjust the fit and the position that allows you to hear the sound clearly. The ergonomic curved design ensures a stress-free fit.

To connect to your smartphone, place the Soundcore AeroClip back into the charging case, close the lid, and then reopen it. The light on the case will flash to indicate pairing.

Open the Bluetooth settings screen on the device you want to connect to and tap 'soundcore AeroClip.'

Tap 'OK'.

I was able to connect to my smartphone.

When I actually listened to music with the Soundcore AeroClip, I was able to feel the powerful bass and dynamic sound spread across the earphones, despite them being lightweight and compact. According to the official website, the headphones feature a 12mm dynamic driver and support for the high-quality LDAC codec, delivering rich, distortion-free sound that is faithful to the original. They also feature directional acoustic technology and a design that prevents sound leakage.

The Soundcore AeroClip allows you to quickly perform operations such as 'double tap to play/pause' and 'triple tap to skip to the next song' by tapping anywhere on the device.

Other product specifications are as follows:
Supported Codecs | SBC / AAC / LDAC |
---|---|
Waterproof standard | IPX4 |
Charging time | Approximately 1 hour (earphones) / Approximately 2 hours (earphones + charging case) |
Playable time | Up to 8 hours (earbuds only) / Up to 32 hours (when using the charging case) |
short time charging | Approximately 10 minutes of charging provides up to 3 hours of music playback |
After wearing the Soundcore AeroClip for a few hours, I was worried they might fall off easily because they simply clip onto the ears and don't feel too tight. However, they fit snugly and didn't slip out even when I moved my neck a little vigorously. While ear cuff-style wireless earphones can sometimes be quiet or lacking in quality, the Soundcore AeroClip delivers a solid, deep bass sound, allowing me to listen to music without any issues even when I was out and about. While you can enjoy music while paying attention to the sounds around you, it can be difficult to hear on the train, for example. This is also a feature of ear cuff-style earphones.
Also, wearing them for long periods of time can sometimes feel painful where the earphones are touching your ears until you get used to them. However, with the Soundcore AeroClip, you can fine-tune the position by moving the bridge up and down while wearing them, so if you start to get tired, you can change the position where the earphones touch your ear or find a position that fits better, and I found them to be much more comfortable to wear for long periods of time than in-ear or earhook types.
The Soundcore AeroClip is available in 'Midnight Black,' 'White & Gold,' and 'Pink & Brown,' and the price at Anker's online shop is 17,990 yen including tax for all colors. It can also be purchased on Amazon, where the price is also 17,990 yen.
