Life P3i

I had the latest model of ear buds from a certain company named after a fruit that I spend $250 on. Unfortunately they got stolen and I bought these until I could save up enough to buy better quality earbuds again. Looks like I won't need to upgrade! Pros: The sound quality is insane! I have no idea how it sounds so good at this price point. Not quite as good as the top of the line but way better than mid to upper-mid range buds. Transparency mode is incredible! No drop in sound quality, no extra noise added, the pass through audio isn't too tinny. I have no clue how Anker could figure this out in an earbuf under $100 while others couldn't get that right for $250. Button customization! You can change what the buttons do in the app! And there's 3 different button commands per ear! Comfy! I don't even feel them in my ear, it's crazy how nice they feel, idk if it's just my ear shape but usually earbuds hurt my ears after a couple of hours Bluetooth is working amazingly. No connecting while it's in the case which was a huge problem with my last earbuds Cons: ANC is weaker than competitors, but not bad. It will definitely help on an airplane or around constant sources of noise, but someone talking around you is going to be just as audible as in normal mode. That said, the passive noise cancelation is pretty good so I don't even feel like I'll need the ANC except in certain scenarios. Button placement. To press the button you have to push it into your ear which is a little uncomfortable. I wish they had put the button on the side of the stems. Luckily they don't require much pressure so it's not a huge deal, and it's better than having to tap on them like some ear buds. Case is pretty cheap, I don't feel like it would hold up well if dropped. Meh: Battery life is almost as advertised on normal mode. Charges relatively quickly. No complaints. Call quality is a little echoey. Still clear and nobody has complained about it on calls. Overall, great pair of earbuds! They're a 4.5/5 star earbuds, but given the price, I can easily round up to a 5/5. Really hoping they don't crap out on me too soon because I'll be using them forever if they last.

My go-to wireless ear buds are Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, but I don't like to bring them to work as they are expensive and don't want to loose them or have them get taken. As well when I'm at work I'm getting interrupted so many times during the day I prefer a Apple air bud like style ear bud that's easy to pull from your ear. Since my last office pair of ear buds finally failed after 4 years it was time for a replacement, with all the options out there it was kind of a drop in the bucket what to pick from that under $50 and these had same day shipping so figured I give them a try. First off sound quality these are good and you can adjust the eq with the mobile app, but the default preset is likely the best for my taste of music. They are certainly not as tuned as higher end ear bud, but have more of the classic bass heavy and untuned mid to high ends that lack the clarity a high end ear bud provides. That said, for the price point, I think they are good, and having ANC is really nice when you what to block out the office noise. The pass through option to hear what's around you is ok, but I wish you could adjust how sensitive it works. As for pairing/connecting, they have zero issues with my Lenovo Win10 laptop and are typically already connected by the time they are in my ear. As for fit, I'm likely a bad example to give a review on this portion. As my doctor once said you just have "weird ears" and ear bud just don't stay in my ears very well. I need ear bud that fit to the shape of my ear not so much to just to staying in the ear cancel. As long as I'm just sitting or standing they are fine, but if I go to pick something up off the ground, one of them will fall out. And yes I've tried difference sized tips. That said they feel very light in the ear and you quickly forget they are there. As for the buttons on the ear buds, at times I like the physical "click" of the button but at the same time you do have to press harder and it is a little more clumsy to do double clicks compared to a touch sensing ear bud. You do have a tone of flexibility to configure what the button does via the mobile app on your phone. As battery, I have zero issues. When I leave my desk for a few mins I'll put them in the case and let them to a little bump charge. I've yet to see them even get close to running out of battery even with ANC used nearly the entire day. In summary, for under $50 I think they are a good buy, and they get the job done. That said, if you want the best audio quality experience, you won't find that here.

I have had this for 6 months of constant use and they have thus far been pretty solid. I got the "oat white" and it looks cleaner than black after use. The color is great as I don't have to worry about dead skin and other gross ear stuff being readily visible. The gold trim makes them look premium while wearing. The sound is fine, not better than AirPods, not worse. The noise reduction is okay. I took them on a trans-Pacific flight recently and it does drown out some of the jet engine noise but does not quite work on the voices in the cabin. If I have to nit pick the design, which is similar to AirPods with the stalk sticking out, is nice for install and removal but the stalks hit against my neck pillow on the plane and kept popping out. Okay when I was awake not good when I was asleep having to root around a dark, economy class seat in a full plane, hoping it didn't roll onto the floor. Compared to Apple AirPods at three times the cost, these are excellent alternatives. The couple nitpicks I have is 1) They can only be paired with one music source at a time. You have to push the button at the bottom of the case to repair to another. Not a big deal but kind of a pain, hence the 4 versus 5 stars 2) They don't have is the ability to find them like using your phone which the AirPods do have. However, at the given cost, one cannot complain. If you're looking for a solid set of earbuds and don't want to spend for Apple AirPods, these are a more than viable alternative. Don't hesitate to get them as your primary or as a set of backups, they are an excellent value at great quality and Anker's excellent customer care.

Honestly one of the best earbuds at this price! Sound quality is great! I use it almost everyday. The equalizer that connects to the phone is a cool feature. I actually lost one of the buds outside last year and it was raining. After a week outside and I finally found it. I cleaned it months later, thinking it would not work. Surprisingly, it had no issues! Very durable, and it continues to work today. The battery lasts as advertised. Not the longest battery, but I'm okay with it. The noise cancelling is alright, not really what I use the earbuds for though. I can't compare it to another product since it's the first one I had with noise cancelling. In a quiet setting you can't hear voices, but you can hear the typing, clicking noises. The only downside is that sometimes when I put the earbuds back in the case, it doesn't charge. I would have to try a couple times to make sure it was charging.

For this price range, I don't think you can beat these. Of course if you want to spend a couple hundred bucks you can get better quality, but at this price range they are great. - Sound quality is good - The smallest ear cushion was still a little big for my ear, but it is not uncomfortable. - Noise cancelling is hit and miss depending on the sound. I am guessing it depends on the frequency. It does an excellent job canceling out the noise from the AC air handler. Standing a couple feet from the intake vent, I actually had to remove one of the ear buds to be sure the AC was still running. So I am guessing this would be good on a plane too. - An annoying thing was that I actually had to install the Soundcore app before I could enable the transparency mode. Using the button on the earpiece was only cycling between standard mode and noise canceling mode. I had to install the app to set it up to use the transparency mode. Once it was set up I could then use the button on the earbud to cycle all three modes (standard, noise cancelling, transparency). Then I set up the equalizer the way I wanted and deleted the app. It retained the settings. - Transparency mode is good when walking around. I could hear cars coming, and even heard somebody coming up from behind on an electric scooter. - For some reason one time the right earbud did not connect to the phone. It was somehow off even after just taking both earbuds out of the charge case. I had to hold down the button on the earbud to get it to wake up. - For anybody with a Pixel, if you add the battery widget, it displays the earbud remaining charge when they are connected.

I LOVE these! I've had AirPods Pros for the last 2 years and Apple had to replace them twice due to a crackling in the sound and they started doing the same thing again and they wouldn't replace anymore so I went looking for another option. No way was I paying $250 for something that doesn't even last 8 months. I tried a couple lower cost options and they were just no good in functionality or sound quality. I thought I was destined to pay big bucks until I found these! They are literally 95% of what the Apple version is and I won't go back to AirPods again. Likes: The sound quality is amazing, at least as good as the apple version. They connect instantly all the time, I like them better than the apple airpods because these don't get confused and try to switch to my computer when I get close. I hated that about the airpods because I never wanted them connected to my computer but you can't make the Mac forget the airpods without your phone also forgetting them. Charging case lasts a long time. The volume can go really low. Sometimes I listen to an audiobook if I'm having trouble falling asleep, with the airpods I would always try to turn down just one more click and they would go silent. I always thought there was too big of a step from the lowest volume to off. This is not an issue with the soundcore pods, they have great low volume control. Dislikes: The noise cancellation is not as good as Apple. It is decent but Apple definitely wins there. I don't like that I can't tell how much battery is left on the case, even in the app it won't tell you so you just have to plug in when you think your getting close to empty. They don't get as loud as the airpods, I think it is still good enough but if it is noisy out I have wanted an extra one or two clicks more volume a couple times. After two months using these for at least 4 hours a day, I am still thrilled with their performance. This is one of the best products I've found this year.

I mostly listen to podcasts, and maybe a little music, and only seldom do I use them for calls. That said, the phone calls have been fine, no complaints on either side. I can't say for sure how well the noise cancellation works, my house is pretty quiet, and when I'm out walking the dogs or going to the grocery store, I still can hear enough outside noise (which is a good thing) so I can hear a car coming up or if someone is trying to get my attention. I can say the outside noises seem more muted than other headphones/earbuds I use, but I haven't tried them side by side. For sound quality, it comes through clear. I'm not really an audiophile, and I'm old and probably have lost high end range anyway to give a fair assessment. They aren't tinny or and having bass overwhelm everything that you can't hear the lyrics or podcasts talking. And they are very clear, both talking and music. And that is good enough for me. It only took about a day to get used to the controls. They are simple enough, but are one, two or three presses on one or the other earbuds. Nicer than others where it is often a combination of long and short presses. And, it is good at detecting the difference between one and two presses (unlike the ones that do short/long press). My only real quibble, and mostly because I listen to podcasts primarily, is that it is one press to raise the volume and two to pause. Given the bluetooth range, I've got the phone on my when using these, and use the phone buttons to control the volume, and wish it were one press to pause for when people start to talk to me. I don't know if is the weighting (they are barely noticable wearing them) or shape or my ears or what, but I've tried all the sizes of silicone buds, and they don't stay in all that great. It is fine when I'm working at my desk, or riding in a car, they don't randomly fall out. But, they do fall out way more often than I'd like. I might be chewing food - that is enough to have one fall out. Doing anything more active than walking the dogs one or the other is likely to fall out. I do sports photography and walking the sidelines is o.k., but if I stop and talk to someone, good chance one falls out. Maybe it is just my ears. The real annoyance is that you can't turn them off. The battery life is great. But you have to have the charging case with you and put them in and close the lid for it to "turn off" and disconnect from the phone. Maybe not a huge deal, but if you take them off and put them on the side table for a second and then your kid comes in and wants to watch a game on TV with you and next thing you know it is 4 hours later and they are discharged, it is an annoyance. Related to that, doing that doesn't even help, or requires a lot more attention. Just popping them in the case doesn't always start them charging. Even being careful and making sure they are seated just so, a lot of time doesn't start it charging. I'd guess my success rate is about 50%. So, you have them "charging" overnight and then wake up to dead earbuds. Now, I put them in the case, and they should disconnect from the phone, so I check the phone to make sure they are disconnected. But even then, moving the case can cause it to lose contact for charging. Or if your pet knocks it over. Or even if everything looks good when going to bed, sometimes it just stops charging for no reason. Luckily, they charge quickly, when you do manage to get it right.

I wanted to rate this 5 stars so badly. I was very excited about it because of the many glowing reviews but it let me down in a couple very specific ways and Im picky, so Ill be returning it. Cons: - The biggest issue I had which is nearly the sole reason Im returning it, is that it never saved my custom settings. In order to make it sound nice, I need to re-select my custom settings in the app every time I open them up and use them. This might not be a deal breaker for some but for me its just too tedious. The base sound is pretty disappointing compared to what I had been using (airpods). Though as others have said when you customize the EQ in the app you can get some really good sound out of it! This was true for me as well. VERY close to apple airpods quality, I was just never able to get the app/earphones to keep my settings for me. When I launched the app it would still claim I was on custom EQ, but Id click default, and then custom again, and then my settings would start working. Tried all the usual stuff to fix the bug too. Uninstalling and re-updating the app, re-pairing. Nothing fixed it. - The active noise cancelling can sound quite hollow and electronic at times and it has trouble with certain sounds. If you plan to use these outside while running, you’ll run into issues of warbling as the ANC tries and fails to drown out the wind. Inside though its quite good. Id expect its above average noise cancellation for the price point. I cant say for sure since I dont have much experience. I had no issues hearing my music while vacuuming and I didn’t have to crank up the volume either. - No wall adapter included and charging cord is very short. This is kind of expected but still inconvenient. I charge my electronics every night so I cant speak on battery life, but it seems like it would be good. Pros: - Excellent sound for cheaper headphones when custom EQ is enabled. - Very comfortable, I have very small ears and this was still very comfy, they included three sizes of earbuds too. - Very decent noise canceling inside the my house. And its easy to turn on and off when I want. - Controls are customizable, and the buttons are easy to avoid pressing when you don’t mean to. If you’re not too picky about sound and the possibility of needing to click a button in the app every time you listen doesn’t bother you, this is an excellent buy. I attached the custom EQ I used that sounded the best to me. Im no expert and listen to a very wide variety of music, I liked the “full” sound this graph gave me.

Well build, good for calling, sound quality average, excellent battery life. Good value for money.

Very good quality and excellent product Long lasting charge and good sound quality. Worth for money

I don't often take time to write reviews and I'll keep this one short and sweet: These were my first transition from over the ear wired earbuds, having come from a decade of wired earbuds that offered unbelievable sound quality compared to "wireless" - and previously coming from a decade of hi-fi audio with headphones that cost anywhere from $500 - $2000 and high end home audio equipment. So the transition was slow, and I never believed I would find wireless earbuds that could comapre in any way. Well boy was I wrong. These things are just so good on all the levels one would want from earbuds. 1st - They fit perfect, they never fall out of my ear. I barely ever if ever need to push them in any deeper to get the fit back. They go in, they sit in, and they stay there. They are so comfortable and effortless to wear sometimes I put them in and they just stay in my ears while I don't even play music or do anything. Kind of like comfortable ready to go earplugs that mask outside noise without any "noise cancellation frequencies" or annoyingness at all. 2nd - Sound quality! I bought (and then returned) multiple other top competitors. Skullcandy, JBL, Sennheiser and now currently Beats Pro+ or whatever. All of these were $100 - $400. Most around the $230 mark. Each time I got these, I'd switch back and forth between them and the P3i and EACH AND EVERY TIME I found myself saying: these $200+ ones are only MINIMALLY better in some ways audally than the P3is. And those times were all not justifiable over both the cost and the fit. The fit on the P3i's wins over all of them. The sound qualirty is SO CLOSE to that of the $200+ ones it's crazy, and in many cases it was actually the same or BETTER. 3rd - Call quality - The call quality on these is top notch. The microphone perfect. I've never ONCE had an issue where someone said there was too much background noise or I sounded weird or they couldn't hear me. I have had calls in public on the street, at the beach and in busy areas in malls, etc - and every time: perfect 4th - Battery life. Battery life? I haven't had these run out ever. I charge them at night, and often times I'll be out all day listening to music, riding my bike, walking, whatever - and use them for like 8-10 hours. NO ISSUES. All in all, these are my favorite earbuds I've ever tried. And for a measly $69.99 CAD? HAH! Anker has a absolutely stellar winning product here. I scrolled through other people's reviews to find their "cons" and laughed at a lot of them. There are simply no cons with these. The bass may be a tap bit "boomy" in some cases instead of a little more deep and refined like it is on the beats pro+ but when you couple that with the price, the fit, the battery and how well these win in all areas all around I am even considering to return the beats pro+. Any sane person of means with a busy life would want to have 2 sets of earbuds. Just in the case of loosing one, or leaving them in the car or somewhere else at a friends house or whatever. So I may well keep the beats as my 2nd set. But honestly, I'd just consider returning them and buying a SECOND set of the P3i's. They are THAT good. If you are reading my review in the sea of reviews on these, just stop - and BUY THESE. Thanks Anker, you made me spend 10 minutes of my life writing this review in admiration of what an incredible product you've accomplished making. I am looking forward to an upgraded model if they come out with one, and would happily pay a higher price tag if that ever happens. Over the moon with these :)

Bought these on sale and very happy with the purchase. Sound quality is excellent for this price point set of head phones and they hold their charge as stated. Would definitely
