SoundcoreLife P3i Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds Black

I've been using these earbuds for 5-6 months and have been very happy with them. I've had no issue with sound quality for music or calls, and importantly for me, the metal charging contacts are on the bottom end of the stick. As someone whose skin is frequently irritated by metal accessories, having charging contacts that don't press into my ear is crucial for comfort, so I highly recommend this build of an earbud who has similar metal sensitivities. I've been happy with their charge time, and the button interactions are functional, if not fancy.

These have turned out to be amazing earbuds. AirPods tend to fall out of my ears too easily so I decided to try the Soundcore brand after reading reviews. The sound is great, the fit is great for my ears, the battery life seems to be good for many days if I’m just watching some shows in the evening, and the noise cancellation is great - for example in a loud trampoline park I turned on noise cancelation and could hear nothing outside the earbuds. Needless to say, I was impressed! I now have 2 other types of earbuds/headphones from this brand.

These are not the headphones you're looking for.While comfortable, the sound quality is so poor as to be practically unusable. I can use them for phone calls, watching shows, or listening to audio books, but listening to music simply does not work. Also, have run into issues where turning the sound down on my phone doesn't actually turn the sound down on the headphones, which is just annoying.I don't know if I just go a lemon or if they are all made this way, but even when music plays at the beginning of a show, the sound is tinny and far away and makes me think of nails on a chalkboard. The sound is just SO BAD for any type of music that even attempts to play through them.EDIT: Increased to four stars. The tinny sound on music seems to have disappeared and them seem to be working better now. Don't know if I just needed to restart my devices or if the earbuds needed breaking in.

Love these!! Soundcore is my go to brand for great headphones. The sou d is clear and perfect. My only issue is they are not as loud as other sets I own.

Excellent for the price!Sound is very nice, although very bass heavy. That can be adjusted using the app though, so high marks for that.The ANC is not perfect, but again, for the price point it's extremely solid. Zero complaints!

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.

The best headphones I ever had. Thank you for sending them to me.

I’ve had my Soundcore Life P3i earbuds for over a year and a half, and they’ve held up really well. Sound quality is great; clear highs and bass that punches above their price range. I’ve used them for music, videos, and the occasional phone call, and they’ve been reliable across the board.Battery life is solid, the case is compact, and the fit is comfortable enough for long sessions. The only real downside is the mic performance in noisy environments. It’s fine indoors, but people sometimes had trouble hearing me clearly when I was walking outside or in windier spots.That’s what led me to upgrade to the Liberty 5s. But for the price, these are still a great pair of wireless earbuds and I’d recommend them as a daily driver.
