New to Prime Day? We’ve got the lowdown on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
Prime Day is back, and with it comes the usual “do I need these?” scrolling spiral. If you’ve been eyeing a pair of open-back headphones that won’t completely block out the world, the Soundcore AeroFit 2 might be worthy of your shopping list. They’re currently priced at $73.99 (down from $129.99) — their lowest price yet, according to price trackers .
As with all Prime Day deals , you’ll need a Prime membership to use it (or you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel before Amazon charges you $14.99 per month).
Hear the world around you
Instead of fitting the earbuds into your ear canal, the AeroFit 2 sits outside, using angled speaker modules to transmit sound while letting in ambient noise. That could be a plus if you’re cycling, running, or working in shared spaces where a little mindfulness goes a long way. You’ll get about 10 hours of playback on a single charge, and a total of 42 hours with the case (according to the manufacturer).
They’re a bit smaller than the first-gen AeroFit, but the tradeoff is better sound: larger drivers deliver more bass, and LDAC support means you’ll get high-resolution audio if your phone can handle it. Other perks include wireless charging, Bluetooth 5.4 with multi-point pairing, and IP55 dust and water resistance. There’s no quick pairing like Google’s Fast Pair, but setup is simple: open the lid, connect via Bluetooth, and you’re good to go.
The Soundcore app is where you’ll do most of the fine-tuning. There are a few equalizer presets to choose from, or you can create a custom profile using the 8-band equalizer. There’s also a 3D Surround Sound mode that tries to make movies and games more immersive. On the downside, there’s no noise cancellation or mute button for calls, which feels like an oversight.
That said, if you’re interested in an open-ear design and want a lightweight, feature-rich pair without spending over $100, this Prime Day deal is probably the best time to try the AeroFit 2 .
