Soundcore by Anker Life P3 Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, Black

Bought these in 2023 and they have been amazing. Totally noise canceling, great sound. Recently dropped them and one of the ear pieces isn't working, so decided to buy another pair, UNFORTUNATELY they aren't sold o. AMAZON anymore. Very comfortable, life battery is long, fits comfortably, great to take calls with control buttons. Highly recommend

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.

I am a former live sound engineer. To me sound quality is the number one concern. My last two sets of buds were actually sold as in ear monitors for professional musicians. One set were wired Sony's and the other Advanced AD3 wireless with a wire between the buds. Both had excellent sound quality. Since I have not had individual buds before and was afraid of losing one, I decided not to break the bank with my first pair. High end buds go for north of $200. I bought the P3s after doing quite a bit of research.When they arrived they were pretty easy to set up. The app you use with them is pretty simple. It includes a customizable EQ so you can tailor the sound to your liking. I use a "dog eared" setting boosting the bass and treble while leaving the midrange flat. The sound is really quite good.I would call the noise cancelling decent but not great. Of course in my opinion the only way you get great cancelling is with full headphones. You have a choice of different NC settings. I find the "indoor" setting works the best at the gym to somewhat drown out the music they are playing. I have not tried them on an airplane yet. As I mentioned I was afraid of losing a bud....so much that I leave them in until I get home and dump them in the charging case. When I leave the gym I just switch to the "Ambient" sound mode and I can hear the world around me pretty well. The buds work very well for phone calls. My wife says my voice sounds perfect when she calls.The controls on the buds for changing volume or tracks work ok, but are not perfect. At time I find myself just reaching for my phone to change track or adjust volume. That may be more about my gnarly fingers than the buds.I am still trying to get the pairing routine worked out. I have them paired with my phone, tablet and Peloton. I know they are supposed to pair automatically to the primary device, but I find I need to put them into pairing mode most of the time. Once paired they are rock solid....solid as in I left my phone on a machine at the gym, went to the other side of the building and they still worked.The buds fit well in my ears. I don't run, but a sweaty in the saddle, out of the saddle Peloton HIIT ride does not pop them out.The battery life seems good, but honestly I do not wear them more than a couple of hours and the rest of the time they live in their charging case.I would recommend these buds for people who want a pair of bud with good sound and don't want to break the bank to get it. They also look pretty cool.

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!
