Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed130 Euro The AeroClip from Soundcore look like two cherries on a small branch, but the two small housings contain high-quality technology. Among other things, some 12-millimeter drivers support high-resolution audio via LDAC, but only AAC via Bluetooth 5.4 when connected to Apple devices. Thanks to the open-ring design, people who wear glasses have no problems wearing open-ear headphone like the AeroClips. The right/left detection is better recognzable than with some other small headphones thanks to a colored circle. However, there is room for improvement here too, for example red for right and blue for left. The AeroClip is controlled via touch operation with the wide bracket that connects the two ends. As the bracket is easy to reach, the operation is very safe. Soundcore has also thought things through here: there is no command for single tapping, only for double and triple tapping, so operating errors are minimized. Commands such as playback control, volume, and Siri can be assigned via the app. In addition to the control settings, you can also deactivate the dual connection to another audio device or select the sound effects. Two microphones with AI support aim to ensure better sound when making calls. The battery promises a maximum of eight hours of music enjoyment, and the charging box can be used to charge the AeroClip three times before it needs to be returned to the charger. A ten-minute quick charge provides 30 minutes of playing time. A USB-C port is available for charging the charging case, not inductive charging. The IPX4 splash water protection is ideal for sports or use on the beach. Sound check with different music genres and films The sound of voices, such as in films or tutorials, is very convincing, with good sharpness and excellent intelligibility. This also applies to music, which sounds surprisingly lively for Bluetooth headphones. Take our first track, “Getting Away With It” by Electronic, for example. Even though the bass isn’t very deep, it’s fun to listen to. The positive results continue when we switch to the rocking pop music of Depeche Mode. The song “Going Backwards” also convinces with its bass at the beginning. However, you can’t really relax while listening to it; the AeroClip struggles with the mix and it sounds a little strained. The AeroClip on the studio album Memento Mori manages this much better. Soundcore has found an excellent balance between lively highs and decent bass. Should you buy the Soundcore AeroClips? The AeroClip impresses with its very balanced and good sound tuning for headphones that rest on the ear.

Why it matters: As the keyboard space continues to evolve, Cherry's latest innovations show how far switch technology has come. By combining advances in sensing, efficiency, and feel, Cherry is refining its legacy and reshaping what users can expect from future keyboards – whether that means quieter typing, longer battery life, or a more satisfying press. German keyboard maker Cherry has unveiled a "bold new chapter" in its history at Computex 2025, headlined by the debut of its first inductive switch and three new additions to its MX mechanical lineup. The announcements mark a clear push to modernize its catalog with improved durability, efficiency, and typing feel across multiple use cases. Leading the charge is the Cherry IK, a next-generation analog switch built on patented inductive sensing. Instead of relying on physical contact for actuation, the switch detects electromagnetic changes, enabling contactless operation. It supports RGB lighting and customizable actuation points, delivering a more versatile typing experience. Compared to traditional magnetic switches, the IK reportedly uses 50 percent less power and just 5 percent of what Hall effect switches consume, representing a substantial leap forward for wireless keyboard battery life. Cherry plans to launch the IK switch this fall. The company also introduced three MX mechanical switches targeting different user needs. First up is the MX Honey, a silent tactile switch tailored for office environments. It's part of the MX2A family and features a reworked spring design with factory-applied lubrication for smoother keystrokes. For fans of ultra-light linear switches, the MX Blossom is now Cherry's lightest mechanical offering, requiring just 35 centinewtons of actuation force. Like the MX Honey, it shares the MX2A's upgraded internals. Finally, the MX Falcon caters to heavy typists and keyboard enthusiasts who want a strong tactile experience. Drawing inspiration from classic keyboards and the distinct click of typewriters, this switch features Cherry's first long-pole stem design, perfect for those who crave more pronounced typing feedback. // Related Stories With these launches, Cherry is diversifying its switch lineup – moving from mainstream mechanical designs toward specialized, high-performance innovations aimed at professionals and hobbyists. All three MX switches debut in prebuilt keyboards this June, with standalone kits expected to follow.
