Soundcore Life P3i Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds Black

Woah! How are these so good?
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 hoursBluetooth is working amazingly. No connecting while it’s in the case which was a huge problem with my last earbudsCons: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.

Great quality and amazing value but not perfect
These headphones are an amazing especially for the price, I got them for 34.99 usd on black Friday and I’d say it would be hard to find a better value.The Good:-Excellent sound quality-They get pretty loud (even louder then I care to listen)-the app is easy to use and the fact it’s included at this price point is crazy-very cheap-comfortable (usually where them for about 1.5-2hrs at the gym and I have 0 complaints on comfort plus they stay in pretty well)-adjustable EQ-battery life seems excellent-smaller then I anticipatedThe Bad:- the noise cancelation isn’t that great my last pair of Earbuds (Tozo nc9) had significantly better noise cancelation so if that’s your main reason for looking at these I would go look at those instead they’re a similar price point but the sound quality of those are marginally worse and there’s not app- physical buttons 🤮 I’m just saying physical buttons do not belong on Earbuds, give me a touch sensor like on the tozo nc9-transparency mode sounds pretty digitalized and it’s still difficult to hear people if they’re more then like 5′ from youOver all I’d recommend these especially if you can wait for a sale, they seem to be pretty great Earbuds for the value and despite my gripes comparing them to my previous pair of Earbuds I do think for me the trade offs are worth keeping these over returning them to rebuy the tozo nc9 I had before but it’s a close call between the 2

Full disclosure, given the price, I wasn’t expecting much from these headphones, but these have surpassed my expectations. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max with AirPods Pro 2; I wanted a pair of less expensive backup wireless buds for use in our sauna and other situations where I wouldn’t mind losing or damaging these, but I want to protect my $300 Apple AirPods.The entire experience of unboxing, pairing and setup is top-notch. Downloading their app, which walks you through pairing, took less than a minute, and the earphones came fully charged. The earphones and the charging case are made from quality materials; the fit and finish are excellent. They’re not as substantial feeling as AirPods Pro 2, but they’re also 1/6th the cost; keep that in mind.The case has a nice clicky magnetic closure and a USB-C charging port. There’s a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box. The case doesn’t support wireless charging. Charing the case is easy; there’s an LED on the front, flashing when charging and solid when charged.When removed from the case, the earphones themselves automatically turn on and connect to the paired device seamlessly. I left them on the default EQ; it sounds good as is. The notice cancellation has three modes, active, transparency and off. Coming from using Samsung and Apple headphones with ANC, these are 80% of what Apple delivers. With ANC on, they do a great job at cancelling most of the ambient noise but are not quite as good as Apple AirPods Pro 2 or Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro. Again, remember the cost and value they represent. To even have ANC at this price point is more than I expected. The music sounds fantastic; I listened to some acoustic songs, and the voices and instruments are clear, even at max volume. The silicone ear tips are comfortable and contribute to the notice cancellation. Make sure you have a snug fit for ANC to work; there are different-sized ear tips in the box. Comfort is 9/10; no difference between these and the Apple AirPods Pro 2.I made a few calls and used these on some Zoom calls; they sound great. Voices are clear, and I asked the others on the call; they could hear me perfectly well; the four mics do a great job here.Putting the price aside, I’d say these are 85% of what the Apple AirPods 2 Pro are, but considering the price, they represent the best value on the market IMO. They’re 1/6th the cost, and while not perfect, they do everything very well with no drama. I can’t comment on the long-term durability or battery life, but I’ll come to edit the review in 6 months and one year to comment on this.Anker has come a long way here, these are awesome, and I’d highly recommend them.

Loved my first pair and then lost them. Tried to replace with a few cheaper options but none worked nearly as well as these. I’m no audiophile, but they block out most ambient sound and make it easy for me to listen to my podcasts in noisier areas.

Have only bought and used soundcore buds and i have three different sets. Liberty 3 pro, space a40 and these, the p3i and to tell you the honest truth, i prefer these by far for one big reason, they fit much better then the other two.They sound great, battery lasts for hours on maximum volume and would buy again without hesitation.The apple design is a winner and i will only buy buds in this style in future.
