Soundcore 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)

These earbuds are amazing for the price (make sure to check the coupon checkbox to get them for $30)! Here are some pros and cons to keep things simple:Pros- The sound quality is very good, with punchy bass and solid quality all-around. I’m not an audiophile by any means, but these sound great to me. I did use the “bass reducer” profile in the app, though, because the default profile’s bass level was actually a bit too much for me.- Multipoint connectivity! If you didn’t know, this feature enables an audio device to connect to two devices via Bluetooth at the same time, so you can seamlessly switch between listening on two separate devices if the earbuds are connected to both. This is a total game changer for me, as I can use them on my phone when I’m away from my computer, walk up to my computer, and then play something on there without having to manually disconnect them from my phone and connect them to my computer. You can enable this feature in the Soundcore app by going to the Soundcore P30i settings, pressing the gear icon, and enabling “Dual Connections”.- Excellent battery life. These are advertised as lasting 10 hours on a charge without ANC on, and I usually got about 8 hours, which is still very good. They also charge super quickly in the case. ANC drops your battery life, but the advertised 6 hours on a charge with ANC is still solid.- Active noise cancelling (ANC). Seriously, how did they manage to include this on $30 earbuds, and what’s more, how is it so good?!? I have a hearing condition called misophonia that makes me sensitive to certain sounds like gas-powered leaf blowers, and I’m also autistic and sensitive to noise, and the ANC capability on these earbuds has completely changed my life for the better because it enables me to block out lawn care noise, plane noise, traffic noise, and so on, or at least greatly reduce their intensity. I can’t express how happy these earbuds make me in my day-to-day life due to knowing I have an easy solution in my pocket to any triggering noise.- The case looks and feels nice, and the earbuds stick back into their positions on the charging prongs within it with a nice click.- The Soundcore app is incredible. You can set premade EQ presets or create your own, tweak various earbud settings, remap the single tap, double tap, triple tap and tap and hold actions for the touchpads, and so much more. Everything just works and the UI is nice.Cons (all pretty minor things that I figured I’d still mention):- The fit isn’t the greatest, and they get loose sometimes when I’m eating or doing anything else involving a lot of jaw movement. They’re easy to readjust, though, and they’ve never outright fallen out of my ears, not even during bumpy bike rides.- There’s a slight delay between when you execute a single tap on the touchpad and when something happens. I suspect this may be because after a single tap, the earbuds are waiting to see if you’ll tap one or two more times for a double or triple tap respectively, which is understandable, but it’s still a bit annoying sometimes, considering my Samsung Galaxy Buds + didn’t do this.- My left ear gets very slightly sore after having them in for 5+ hours. It’s not bad at all, and that’s longer than I use them in a single session most of the time, but I figured I’d mention it anyway. And yes, I did try all the eartip sizes and still had this problem.- The stem design means you can’t sleep with these in if you’re a side sleeper like me and wanted to use them for that. I’d recommend something with a wingtip design like the Galaxy Buds + instead if you want a good pair of sleep buds.- They take a while to connect to your devices sometimes.- They only report their battery percentages to whichever device you’re connected to in 10% increments. It’d be nice to be able to see the battery percentage to the nearest 1% like with the Galaxy Buds +.- You can’t see how much battery the case has remaining until the light strip on the front flashes when you put the earbuds in.- The light bar on the case flashes green when the case is charging. This may be a problem for you if you like to charge your earbuds at night, but honestly, the battery life of both the buds themselves and the case is so good that you probably won’t need to do that. You could also cover it up with a sock or something overnight to block the light.Overall, I highly recommend these earbuds to anyone and everyone, and have already recommended them to a friend, a coworker, and a family member. I even bought two pairs, one for work and one for home use, they’re that good!

I should know better. I have had quite a few Anker products and started buying their earbuds back when they first released the Soundcore line and have always been impressed. I also am hard on earbuds amd tend to destroy them or lose them with alarming frequency. After leaving a pair of Life A2 NC earbuds on a plane i decided to branch out and try some other brands. Its been a string of disappointments so when i saw these on sale i figured this was a gkod time to return to Soundcore. I should have just bought these after losing my A2s. They are fantastic. I wont rehash all the positive things other reviewers have already said. Thise are all true. Here are just a few things i didnt see mentioned that I wish I had known and actually add to the epicness of these earbuds:1. They can connect to 2 devices simultaneously. I have separate work and personal phones so this feature is so great.2. Despite the general appearance of airpods, these are shaped differently and are much more secure in the ear. I was hesitant to buy these mainly for this reason. I have larger ears such that airpods and the like simply fall out with any head movement. These snug right in and stay secure without being uncomfortable and creating hotspots after a couple hours.3. The ANC is top notch. This was my favorite feature with the A2s and I liked the different modes i could select. These take it a notch further and not only allpw for the same mode selections but also allow for auto mode seelction or total manual. They also have the wind noise reduction which is great because I use a single earbud when cycling and on lesser earbuds the wind noise can be so substantial that i barely hear music.For me, these are litetally the do-it-all earbuds. Excellent sound quality for tunes while working. Connect to two devices making jumps from music to work calls and zoom meetings seamless. Top notch noise cancelling for listening while traveling on plane, train or riding the bicycle. Secure fit for use during workouts, even with my mutant ears. These have literally replaced 3 other earbuds now and I am about to pull the trigger on a 2nd pair just to have backups when I inevitably do something stupid and lose or smash these. Once again Soundcore knocks it out of the park. There is literally nothing that competes at this price point or anything below $150 really. Truly impressive.
