Soundcore by Anker Life P3 Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Ultra Long 50H Playtime, Fast Charging, Big Bass, Multi-Mode Noise Cancelling, AI-Enhanced Calls, Wireless Charging, App Control, Bluetooth 5.2

I have tried countless brands and styles of over-the-ear headphones, wired earbuds, wireless earbuds, and all the in between. I need something that works at the gym, on airplanes, while gardening, washing dishes, and driving. The Soundcore Life P3 is the first I've found that can do it ALL.The active noise cancellation is superb, and you can control it via the app or just by touch of the earbuds. I've had other earbuds that say they cancel noise but they don't even come close to these.The range of connection while listening to music, etc. all over my house (inside and outside) is important for me. I don't always bring my phone when I am going around the house, garage, yard, and these stay connected at least 90% of the locations i roam to at the edges of my yards--through closed doors.The quality of connection while in conversation is excellent, no complaints. The water resistance holds up to the IPX5 standard which is just what i need due to sweat & sometimes I (carefully) wash my face with them in.The battery life is excellent. They last a few days without needing to be plugged back into an outlet. The earbuds recharge in 10-15 minutes with the portable charging case. The charging case is even something to rave about! It is small and soft to the touch yet sturdy & durable. I do wish the magnetic closure was a little stronger but that is only because i often drop things & if you drop the case then the earbuds pop out (half the time). But I can honestly say that is my only complaint about these earbuds.I realize I sound like a paid advertisement but I am not - I just LOVE these earbuds. The quality is fantastic, and I think the price is just right: a little expensive but completely worth it.The customer service is the cherry on top! After a couple months of heavy use I had a fluke problem with one earbud and the customer service resolved the issue 100%. They did make me do some extra troubleshooting that was a little painful, and it did resolve the issue for a little while. After that earbud stopped working again I contacted customer service and they could not have been easier or quicker to completely rectify the situation. I am now even more fanatical about this brand.If you're looking for an excellent quality earbud that covers all the bases then you've found it--buy these.It is almost 3 years since I first purchased these & I stand by them 100%. They have taken countless drops, been stepped on a few times, sustained water submersion and still give amazing quality of sound, noise cancellation, and battery life. I have been getting comments about the mic quality on phone calls lately so I will soon replace them as i often use them for work. I will replace them with a new pair of Soundcores!

They have a bass heavy default sound profile but you can adjust it in the Soundcore app. I don’t really like the controls but those too can be adjusted in the app. I got them on sale for fifty bucks and for the price they’re very good.They’re just as comfortable and quiet as Apple AirPods Pro. I haven’t tested the ANC bc I don’t really use the feature but I do need the noise isolation and its very good. I wish I never wasted the money I did on Apple AirPods. These are a much better value and have no bugs.The things that I don’t like about these:There is a delay when you use the touch sensitive controls, which is just the section of the earbud with the logo. It’s not the stem. You press the logo and there’s a half second delay before it takes effect. When you have to double press it makes you wonder if it worked or not. There is a setting in the app to make an audible chime when you press a button. I enabled that and it helps a little. I just wish it was a little faster.The lid on the case is a little flimsy and isn’t held by a magnet. It’s just a spring loaded hinge.The sound profile is bass heavy. Adjust the highs up in the EQ in the app and it fixed it.Overall I’m very happy with them! Oh and the battery life is good, at least without ANC on. I listened to them for at least 4-5 hours straight no problem and the battery gauge said it used about half. That was an audiobook on medium volume.

EDIT: 7/31/21. I really want to love these earbuds, but the audio keeps cutting out consistently when I use them. I’ve unpaired them from my phone several times, and deleted the device from my phone with no improvement. I still enjoy these earbuds, but I assume they are a faulty set.*Original Review*I’ve used these earbuds for almost 2 weeks and here’s my thoughts:1: Great value for the price.I preordered my pair and got a early bird discount code in my email for 20% off the day they launched. I paid around $65 when I purchased them, tax included.2: Very comfortable.These earbuds have a similar fit to AirPods Pro in the way they nestle on the outer edge of the ear canal. I wear the largest size ear tips and they fit securely. They don’t “plug” your ears, but there’s a slight suction to keep them secure with minimal pressure.3: Sound quality is top tier under $100. Compared to AirPods Pro, there’s richer bass and clarity in my opinion. I achieved this by fiddling with the EQ on the Soundcore app. The default settings are fine, but the sound profile is much more nuanced and not as compressed when you customize it for your taste. I set mine to the R&B preset and customized it.4: Excellent battery life.On my days off I always have my earbuds in listening to YouTube, Apple Music, etc., and they exceeded my expectations. I only had to recharge once every 2-3 days in the time I’ve had them. The case is fairly quick to charge and the earbuds themselves recharge fast after using them throughout the day.5: Noise cancellation is decent.The noise cancellation is detectable and can be very useful in certain environments, but don’t expect complete silence while using it. The different modes are useful, but I prefer to use the indoor mode the most. I estimate about a 50-60% noise reduction when I listen to my fridge running while using the noise cancellation.6: Instant pairing.When I get ready to use the earbuds, they pair with my phone before I get to put them in my ears. The pairing and connection range is very strong and consistent.I have some small criticisms too, starting with the audio playback.1: Audio can randomly go mute while playing media for 1-2 seconds at random times throughout the day. It happens maybe 3-5 times a day and isn’t intrusive, but can get annoying while you watch videos. I understand this is a new product and hopefully this will get fixed with firmware updates.2: Touch controls can be finicky (operator error)There’s a little learning curve to double tap consistently so the earbuds can recognize it. You have to tap near the very top of the earbud stem or it won’t work. It puts pressure into your ear when you tap and the video or music may not recognize it every time.All things considered, these earbuds are a great choice for anyone balling on a budget that wants quality and comfort for under $100.
