ok so i've been stuck in back to back zoom classes in my tiny dorm here in austin and my regular earbuds make my ears ache after an hour tbh. saw the soundcore aerofit 2 by anker pop up last night with the real time translation feature which would be kinda clutch for my spanish review sessions. it was around 65 after the flash deal which felt like a steal since these usually go for more. i almost hit buy but my card was being weird and by the time i refreshed it was gone. anyone know if they'll restock soon? i keep checking the app between study breaks and it's killing me lol. would love to snag a pair before midterms hit

omg same my dorm is basically a closet and those zoom marathons kill my ears too. i grabbed the soundcore aerofit 2 last month for like 70 on a random flash and tbh the open design is a gamechanger for lectures cuz i can still hear my roommate asking dumb questions without yanking buds out. the translation thing actually works pretty decent for my spanish class notes even if its not perfect. battery lasts forever which is clutch when im forgetting to charge stuff. only downside is they slip a tiny bit if im walking to class fast but nothing major. you end up pulling the trigger yet or still on the fence

yo as a runner whos logging 5am miles before the texas heat kicks in these open ear ones sound perfect for me too. i use my first gen aerofits during workouts and the sweat just rolls right off no irritation plus i can still hear traffic or my running buddy yelling at me. the translation feature might be clutch for you in those back to back zooms but for me its all about keeping my ears free during longer trail runs without that ache you mentioned. might grab a pair myself if they drop again soon you end up pulling the trigger yet?

i got my second pair of those aerofit 2s a couple weeks back after my buddy kept stealing the first ones for his law school lectures. gifted him a set too for his birthday and he texts me nonstop about how the open design plus the translation mode saves him during group projects. site always hooks me up with decent deals so i trust it enough to reorder without overthinking. battery holds through his long zoom days no problem and zero ear pain which is huge for him since hes in that same tiny austin dorm setup you mentioned
