P30i by Anker Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Strong and Smart Noise Cancelling, Powerful Bass, 45H Playtime, 2-in-1 Case and Phone Stand, IP54, Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4 (Black)

I am SO glad I decided to try this style of ear bud. I normally do not like the buds that have the rubber piece on the end, they never stay in my ear comfortably. These are not like any of the ones I have tried before. These fit like a glove. They create almost like an air tight suction. They are so comfortable too. They are noise canceling too! The sound quality is great and they were super easy to connect. So far I haven't had any disconnecting issues, and the battery life is great! I have been buying $10-$20 ear buds for years now and decided to go with something a bit more expensive since I use them so much. I'm really glad I chose these. They are seriously perfect. I'm obsessed with the blue color too!

For pure sound quality, I recommend the Moondrop Space Travel TWS Earphone Bluetooth 5.3 Noise Canceling True Wireless Stereo IEMs(Black) over these. They are an off-brand, but popular, semi “in ear monitor” quality earbud. However, these Soundcore P30i are a lot easier to set up, change modes, an use, while not giving up much in terms of everyday music and video quality. Especially when watching tv and movies, you won’t likely notice any difference. So, let’s start with a “strong average” rating for these earbuds. No bad habits. No annoying faults. No weird emphasis on one part of the sound spectrum. How is set up? Well, be prepared for NO pairing button on the case or inside the hood. These enter paring mode automatically the first time you pull them out and remove the little plastic tabs off the charging spots. They will automatically pair with the most recently paired device IF it is on. Otherwise they go into pairing mode. If you really want to move them to another device, please delete from your old device first so you know what’s going on. (No probblem if your phone is stolen and you want to re-pair to your new phone). There is another step that I recommend. Download the Soundcore app. Use it to customize your settings. Especially you need to deal with ANC - activve noise cancelling. Do you want it On, Off, or Automatic? And set up the desired right and left ear “taps” for usual stuff like activating a voice assistant or answering a call. THE AUTOMATIC ON-OFF FOR ANC IS SOMETHING I HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE. It doesn’t activate in my apartment even when noisy trucks go by. I assume if activates automatically on airplanes, where the engine and airstream noise are constant (other reviewers have flown and confirm this. HOWEVER, given the new menu on the control panel, make sure your earbuds are in Automatic mode; when these first shipped (I have early release and current release firmware versions) they were Automatic only, with no way to “force” ANC as with other ANC earbuds. I think these should ship in Automatic mode, but they seem to ship in ANC-off mode now; use the app to select Auto mode, and to set the taps you want to use to cycle through the three ANC, Normal (silicone tips block some external sounds), and Transparent modes (Transparent uses the mics to relay external sounds through to your ears, as though you don’t have silicone noise blocking tips in the ear canal). Finally, the current firmware adds a chime to the three modes as you cycle through them. I would like to see a set of XL for extra large ear tips. Apple has started doing this. It is a challenge for some earbud designs since the cup holding the tip would need to be larger so the earbuds fit, but then the stem with the charging pads might wobble. Apple and Beats seem to be the only makers with the XL option. With L tips on, I have a good, but not snug, fit. On other earbuds with ANC test modes, I need noticeably snug earbud tips or I don’t bass the onboard ANC test. I intend to keep the app on my device for my next flight and test out Automatic and forced ANC modes and see if there is any difference. Also, to compare to the original Beats (not the later Plus) version) earbuds. I don’t need high fidelity inflight, just enough ANC so I can actually hear dialogue over the cabin roar. Finally, I have a drawer of varioius ANC options. Why did I invest another $30 in these? Disposability plus Anker assurance. In terms of disposability, keep in mind these don’t have a necklace - if one wiggles loose from yawning or eating and rolls away, it’s probably toast. No shrill alarm mode to help find it. Anker assurance? With the exception of a recalled powerbank, Anker has meant solid middle of the field design and reliability. Better audio than pre-Bose Skullcandy, actually comparable to the Solo Buds from Beats, but best value taking into account price, featrures, and quality. Heck, even without noise cancelling I would have bought these. With ANC they are a steal. Then add in the neat built in phone stand, and killer battery capacity for 14 hour flights? No brainer.

Very good price point along with nice color! They fit well with no irritation or discomfort. The app has several features for sound and levels along with added features such as white noise. They will mirror the more expensive IPods and function just as well. Very pleased with charging time and the quality of power

I like these headphones a lot, and agree with all the positive things people have said about the functionality of the app, the comfort of the fit, etc. The first pair I bought had one headphone that, right out of the box, had overwhelming scratchy/robotic/interference noises, just in one ear, and no matter what device or volume or sound source I used, so I made use of Amazon's return policy, and snagged another pair. Regarding the second pair - The one complaint I have is that there is a little bit of low-grade static/hiss/scratchiness around the audio. My current headphones are Tranya M10s, which I adore, and I compared to make sure I wasn't just being hypervigilant, and they definitely didn't have the same crackle. I listen to a lot of audiobooks, including while I am falling asleep, so this is a complete dealbreaker for me. I'm not sure if most people would even notice it, but I definitely couldn't un-notice it. I offered them to my boyfriend, saying there was something minor that bothered me but not telling him what it was, and after trying them out he guessed correctly that it was the fuzz around the dialogue, but decided that it wasn't a dealbreaker for him because it is so unobtrusive, and because they're so affordably priced. Plus, he loves the powder blue! So, overall these are great, and I think would be perfect for most people. If, like me, you are really insistent on crisp, no fuzz sound, keep looking (and let me know what you recommend!)

After spending $1000 in headphones/earbuds in the last 3 years (1 Sony $390, 1 Samsung $350, 1 Google $199), and being disappointed with "cost/benefit" on all 3, I decided to give a shot at this absolutely inexpensive option. But before pressing "buy now" and just purchase it, I decided to do very same work I did when buying the other 3 premium devices, and took my time, reading reviews, educating myself about the company and it's commitment with customers/users, and finally, I went deep into the specs of the hardware, software, and the mobile app (this last one definitely a big plus). At this point you might say: "it's a freaking $30 Bluetooth earbud" just buy, use it, and if doesn't deliver it's promises, then just return it and add another "zero" to the original $30 and buy a premium device. Well, not so fast... I was intrigued by how good it all sounded and I want to use this whole experience to test an assumption I've been carrying for a short while, which is that we've been all scammed and abused with the so called premium priced devices, in other words , if you want the goods, you have to pay much higher price for it. So, I looked into this as an opportunity to unmask my theory and for that I had to put the "works" in place. After blending and filtering all the information gathered (the process even included "unclutter suspicious" reviews), the conclusion was obvious: despite all looking very standard, there was a positively intriguing desire to give it a try, and the result couldn't be more satisfying. Design looks average initially, but it actually reflects a distinct personality with a touch of elegance, specially with the colors available (green was my option and I was not disappointed). The hardware is absolutely underestimated for the price tag, meaning, it has the ability to deliver a sound quality that matches my Sony WH1000 (I listen to audio-music/books/podcasts an average of 6 hours a day) with crystal clear sound nuances, including a sharp treble and a solid bass, and yesssss, a battery life that will get you listening music and talking on the phone for a few days just by a one full charge on the charging case. Call quality... isn't this feature one of the most important components that will drive us towards or far away from a device...Yes!!!! So here it is: Shockingly amazing call quality. They built this right, and the balance between the software and the hardware, is in perfect harmony, 4 mics and AI, cleaning all the "distractions" away from phone conversations, and music listening without any disappointment. And here is the "cherry in the cake: THE MOBILE APP. Again, another well built component of the whole experience. Better than my Sony, Google, and yes, heartbreaking, my Samsung (I'm a big fan of Samsung products). Summarizing, it's not Bluetooth 6.0, not 14mm sound shell, but it's absolutely a shocker of a quality device that only cost me $30, and it gives me peace of mind with call and music-sound quality. Noise Canceling absolutely under your control, through an app designed with everything you need to make it "your way", and satisfy your desire to listen music like a music producer ;) Ps: no one paid me to write this review, and despite the fact that I don't ever right a review, here is one I hope it will add value to your decision.

Hands Down for the price, The BEST wireless earbuds on the market. Audio quality is superb, the ergonomic design of the earbuds are nice and comfy, the silicone earbuds are soft as well. The freaking case DOUBLES AS A PHONE STAND (& it works 🤌🏽). Look, I’ve got AirPods Pro’s, Had the Beats, JBLs, Even some old school Skullcandys & these just beat all of those out of the park! I’m very positive now that Soundcore supplies their drivers to the major brands haha they just finally said “We’ll cut out the middle man” props. Trust me, all those bells and whistles the “Top” brands offer are just that, flashy things you hardly ever use and don’t need for the basic needs of earbuds. Give em try, at their fair price, you really have nothing to lose 👍🏽

I bought these when I lost one of the ear buds from the previous version of this item. I had assumed that this product would be the same, likely better with new improvements. The truth is, however, that I really wanted to love these. I think SC products deliver great quality at amazing value. I just can't get this particular set to work for me, however. For starters, they're big. There's something about their size where they're big enough where I regularly get wind-noise from the resistance they create when walking quickly outside... even when it isn't windy out. That's super annoying. They're also overly enthusiastic about pairing via Bluetooth. When I come home and take these out, put them in their case, and set the case aside, I assume that the device knows to unpair from my phone. This set, however, intermittently pairs when it feels like it for the hours following use, even when the buds are store in the case, the case is closed/charging, and the case is set apart from my phone. That's super annoying to be talking on my phone and lose someone mid-call because the earbuds decide to pair from a different room in the house. Yes, you can go into your settings and forget the device, but that's also a hassle to have to do every time you use/stop using them. Lastly, the touch sensitivity on these is touchy, to say the least. While I'm fiddling with them to try to reduce the wind noise or make them more comfortable (I don't find these as comfortable as their last design), I'm constantly activating/deactivating things/modes. While I appreciate the convenience, it's actually rather annoying. So while I think the quality and value of these buds are great, they fall short of the mark for me.

I’m SO GLAD i went by the stars and reviews on these. My AirPods stopped working and I decided not to spend hundreds on ear buds that fall right out of my ears, so I went to Amazon to search for the best value at lower price. I’m extremely impressed by these! Not only the sound quality and connection, but they stay in my ears!!! They stay charged for DAYS!!!!!!!! I haven’t charged my case in two weeks!! They magnetize right into the case, like you can just throw the ear buds in and they snap right in place! I know this review isn’t about specs and details, but if you’re just looking for earbuds to listen to music while working out, cleaning, meditation, sleep, etc.. nothing too active or musically specific, I strongly recommend these!!! At this price you can get a pair for a friend or loved one! Literally even if these only lasted a year, they’re still worth it, but I have a feeling they’ll last longer than my overpriced AirPods whose only good feature is the monopolized connectivity to Apple only products—the hostage hold that company has on our wallets.
