TLDR: Get the Soundcore AeroClip at the current Prime sale price
Both the Soundcore AeroClip and Shokz OpenDots have superior sound quality to the MC1 Pros. I wasn't much a fan of the build quality (seemed of cheap plastic) nor the fit of these earbuds. Between the Soundcore and Shokz, they had great volume and sound quality (listening at ~60% volume, individual instruments can be easily distinguished). The Shokz advertises Dolby audio, but with the way these earbuds sit on our ears allowing ambient sounds in, I couldn't tell much of a difference between Dolby off vs Dolby on, yet the Soundcore held its own even without the Dolby marketing. I did prefer the customizable controls of the Soundcore (you can customize double and triple tap actions for each earbud from a wide selection of commands) as opposed to Shokz (can only customize the squeeze gesture with limited commands). The wireless charging for the Shokz case is nice, but nothing groundbreaking. Latency was minimal across all three earbuds. There were a few extra perks for the Shokz (the earbuds are ambidextrous and seem to have sensors to know which side of your head they're on to correctly route left-right channels, and there's auto-pause detection), but these perks didn't justify the extra cost for me. At the current sales prices, I'm keeping the Soundcore AeroClip. If both the Soundcore and Shokz were at a similar price, then I'd stick with the Shokz.
Prices when I reviewed each of these...
MC1 Pros: $53, Soundcore AeroClip: $120, Shokz OpenDots ONE: $180
