If you’re swapping from the in ear buds style then there are a few things to note.1. The can be a bit more fiddly to first put on and hang over your ear.2. They feel like an in ear buds that’s just about to fall out, so untill you get used to them, you find yourself grabbing at them at random times as you remember they are there.3. Because these are open ear and not noise cancelling you can hear ambient and background noise. Personally I feel this is a good thing when out and about and doing sports like running.4. For the same reason as point 3, other people will be able to hear some of the noises from your headphones. I’m not sure though to what extent, but it may annoy or irritate people around you if you have the volume high.I’ve not really tried the AI features so these have not been reviewed.I do find the case a little large and bulky compared to my old headphones, however the battery life is amazing.I often only wear one at a time but the case has kept them both charged up for over a week and the case is still only at 50%.I find them very comfortable to wear for long periods and the sound quality is very good at both the bass end and the treble.Sometimes if listening to speech, it can sound a little bass heavy and makes it wooly, but the sound core app has some good presets for eq. And selecting the speech one fixes this.Considering the price of the premium. Headphones from Apple and Samsung, these are excellent value.The app appears to be well laid out with a good UI. You can set and program the touch button functions on each headphone independently. Single, double, triple touch and long press are all available.Personally I find it annoying that everything wants to have a community to chat and feedback which just feels too much for a pair of headphones, but that’s not a unique issue for this brand or product and some people must like it? Right?I’m hopeful that these last over 18 months or 2 years in which case they’ve done better than all the Samsung galaxy buds I’ve ever owned.

I bought these for £69.99 during October 2025 Prime Days, check the end of this review for a comment on the price.I just started using these today. First impression is that they’re awesome. Music sounds great and quite loud, there’s lots of presets to choose from. The Rock preset seems to be working fine for my musical preferences.LDAC available which is a plus at this price.The calls also sound great. Obviously, you can’t expect great ANC from an open-ear headphone. However, I could hear them perfectly and so could they and I was out on the street walking.Love the fact that it supports wireless charging as I got lots of them chargers.The fit is great; I barely feel them on my ears. Easy to use, just download the Soundcore app and create an account, I had one from the Solix Power Station I bought.They’re very adjustable, the ear hook has 4 different positions to fit your ears, no matter the size. Very durable too.The only disappointment was that I bought them for £69.99 on Prime Days (October 2025) and a few days later (just 3-4 days) they cost £62.32, which they still do as I’m writing this review. That’s just wrong on all levels. It’s not the amount of money (someone will say it’s just £7, who cares?), it’s just that it’s wrong to have a sign that says Big Prime Deal (or something similar) and then lower the price even more after Prime Days are done. I mean why would I trust the Prime Days prices again?Think Assemble has got to have some kind of lowest price guarantee for Prime Days, otherwise what’s the point of advertising it?Other than that, the headphones seem great. I will update if any issues show up.

Good sound bad mic
The mic is really bad in calls
