Soundcore Life 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.

This works great with my android. I don't feel like I have to treat them with TLC because they are so affordable. They have noise canceling, and I think the quality is very good. Comfortable, they stay in my ear, I can wear them for hours at a time.

Yo quise comprar los A3i y no quedan, no sé porque no hicieron más ese modelos si son lejos los mejores en noise cancelling que he tenido. Pero estos son bastante buenos y más cómodos que los A3i. Los recomiendo. Me llegaron a tiempo.

Battery life in regular use: 11.8 hr, 13.8 hr 12.5 hr 12 hr 13.1 hrAfter much research over which anker earbuds I wanted to replace my Anker Life Dot 2 — which lasted 19 months, quite impressive because the poor fit had them bouncing on concrete with unhealthy frequency.Anker is low cost and actually stands by their warranty — replacements are easy to get, sometimes not even requiring shipping the defective product back.I sleected the Anker Life P3i Hybrid because it fit my requirement for ultra long battery (case doesn’t count), <$50 cost, and a good fit. I ended up picking these because they had mechanical push-buttons and 4 mics unlike the P20i, P2 mini, or A3iMy Life Dot 2 had a terrible fit. The Life P3i had a great fit out of the box. Both sides are locked in and hard to dislodge while talking or running. The silicone ear tips offer minimal passive silencing went the sound is off for a conversation. No idea on the ANC — I keep that off for battery and situation awareness. The fit is reasonably comfortable for 12 hour straight wearing session.Battery life — ANC off and mostly on playing audiobooks or music baring a few conversations and 0 time in charge case. 9:18 AM to 9:07Pm got the 10% low battery warning or 11.8 hr.Other days had similar longevity (13.8 hr 12.5 hr 12 hr 13.1 hr). Even with the slow battery attrition from recharging ~10 hr is reasonable prediction across an expected several year life span.Water resistance is IPX5 so maybe I shouldn’t wear them while washing my face or showering — but I do and haven’t had any issues.The case is smaller than the Life Dot 2, a lot easier to fit in a pocket. The usb-C plugs in the bottom. I think the lid has to be closed for the earbuds to disconnect from a phone & charge.The fit is decent for size weight. They haven’t fallen out, but I do occasionally feel compelled to play with the right one.No annoying flashing light for night listening on the earbuds, just a simple light on the case that quickly shuts off for charging and needs to be charged.The soundcore app is not a dealbreaker for me. I normally listen to audiobooks, podcasts or shitty mp3s from the 2000s so sound quality isn’t something I’m going to pick out. I do like that it lets me check that the ANC hasn’t turned on and to remap the clicks to a standard menu. I do wish I could set triple clicks or pressing both at the same time. Physical buttons are excellent, hopefully they have the longevity to last.I will probably find a way to cover up or mattify the shiny part of the stem. I like my earbuds to recede into the background not be noticeable accessories.No regrets to picking these from Ankers lineup and I will continue to be a loyal as long as they keep the warranty service.
