Been using these for a couple years now. Excellent sound quality, good NC and overall just a really solid pair of headphones
Had an issue with the left earbud recently where noise wouldnt play, and it was super simple: I called customer support through the app, they sent a new pair literally next day. No hassle, no fuss.
Lifelong anker customer!
I’ve used these for months now and can’t fault them. They charge well in the case, last well also. Comfy in the ear, come with plenty of options for comfort. Nice colour. Noise cancelling is absolutely top. Why pay more when these do a great job. Would 100% recommend and buy again if I lost them.
Purchased the P3 ear buds as a gift for my wife in June 23, she’s been very happy with them, excellent quality. Unfortunately, one of the buds stopped working in December and wouldn’t re-set after following the helpdesk instructions. After providing my details to the support people, a new set was sent out and received the next day! Excellent after-sales service!
They are decent, I would recommend them, the sound quality is good (but not great) and connectivity usually has no issues.
Where these really shine is their build quality. I have dropped them and abused them for almost 2 years now, and they have still yet to break. I accidentally put them through the wash the other day, and while they said they are not waterproof, they worked just fine after I got them out.
Battery life does decrease after a while, but that is to be expected. I still get minimum 3 hours on a charge, and the case only needs charged about once a week with moderate use.
Definitely a good investment, will see you through a lot.
They came already fully charged.
All you have to do to pair to bluetooth device is open the lid on case with them in there.
The app was easy to use and you can choose how you want to configure touch controls or even turn them off completely. You can also choose what ANC feature you want or set it normal(which is what I did). When I first set up, the right ear phone controls didn’t work but after rebooting my phone, it worked perfectly.
This is my first bluetooth earbuds and as someone who is really picky with sound quality, I think these sound great for the price. I would highly recommend.
Noise cancellation on these – meh. I wouldn’t be buying these for noise cancelling. I also have Q60s, which have better but still not amazing noise cancellation. But I wasn’t expecting amazing noise cancelling so that’s fine.
Only thing that kinda bugs me is how smooth the case and buds are! It’s so smooth and curved, it’s actually hard to open the case and grip the earbuds. “Hard” is an overstatement but it just seems an oversight.
But overall, assuming they remain as good as they have been in Week 1, I’m very happy
Fantastic battery life and effective noise cancelling.
The seller had carefully packed them to avoid damage in transit, and they arrived the day after ordering.
I can definitely recommend.
I purchased these as the specifications were what I was looking for and the price was good.
They are excellent. The noise reduction works exceedingly well on the train. The audio for music was a bit heavy on the bass for me, but using the phone app I was able to customise the audio as well as all other settings.
It now sounds great.
Found these for the same price and haven’t looked back. Can’t comment on battery life but the sound quality and fitment in my ears are supreme. (Came with multiple pairs of earbuds for different sizes)
Worth buying IMO. Will be sticking with soundcore/anker from now on.
When running these stay in. Lots of settings to adjust including for noise cancelling.
Have used they for a week so far. Can’t complain. Sound is great, decent noise cancellation. Hopefully they last a very long time.
Whilst I’ve never been a fan of buds in my ears, I needed something to help control the noise level.
I am also a fan of Anker products, which was another reason why I chose these.
The first time I wore them, I connect them to the app & the app tests them to make sure they fit correctly (be warned though – that part is very loud & you can’t adjust the volume)
As to the noise cancelling part-I didn’t play any music at all & even so, the talking in the office went from normal/loud level to everyone talking in a whisper – but you can still make out the words that are being said, so you don’t feel isolated.
I did try playing music once – and is very good sound. (I prefer quiet whilst I’m working)
Everything is set by the app & you have several options to chose from.
I’ve had them since mid February & only charged the unit once (using about 2 hours every other day).
It hasn’t made my tinnitus any worse – but that does depend on how you personally manage it.
Definitely recommend this product.
Having previously had the soundcore life p2’s and had a good experience with them, I thought I’d make the jump up to active noise cancellation, and for the most part, they are very good and block out the majority of background noise.
The only issue I have had with them is that when I’m using tools the active noise cancellation enormously overcompensates leading to large amounts of white noise coming through the earbuds.
Turning off the ANC and just allowing passive blocking does get rid of this issue, but tis a little unfortunate given it was the main reason for purchase.
All that being said, for the general consumer looking for earphones with good sound, good general ANC and long lasting battery life, these are a solid recommendation!
The case is considerably smaller than previous Soundcore/Zolo products which makes them very easy to carry every day. Unfortunately as a result the lid is made from relatively thin plastic, which for me fractured after a few months of moderate use. Soundcore support were very helpful resolving the issue.
I’ve wanted some good quality ANC earphones for a while now, but could never find some that didn’t break the bank. After some research, I found these. I chose these from among other similarly-priced competitors because I had a previous iteration of them (the Life A1’s) and they were fantastic. I’d like to note I got this pair on discount, and would still buy them even at full price.
Everything works as written on the box and like other reviews have stated. The noise cancellation is good for just about every activity you could think of (though not perfect, it reduces the environmental sounds by an incredible amount), with you being able to change which type of noise cancellation you’d like via the app. The app itself is a great addition, which was a key selling point for me, as you can customise the earphones to just about any level you’d like, including what the tap gestures do.
I’ve seen others complain that if you do a more intensive sport, the earphones may fall out. I haven’t had this issue, though I can see how if they weren’t properly fitted this could happen. I’ve also seen that cyclists (like myself) have complained about wind noise falling across the earphones, but I haven’t encountered this (specifically on full ANC mode), and so fully recommend them for sport.
The battery life is great, lasting for the advertised 5/6 hours, and even on a tiny charge in the box, they can continue to last for a significant time. I rarely need to charge the box itself, which I find can sometimes be tedious to remember to do, so I love this.
The mic quality was also a big selling point for me, and though it isn’t the greatest, it definitely works well, and your voice comes through clearly, if a little quiet. I’ve used them for this both inside and outside, and they do work to pick up your voice well in both environments. I don’t recommend calling when moving at speed (or with wind-rush) as the mics are sensitive to wind.
Overall, I definitely recommend these earphones. They’re a good price for a good quality product, and will last you a long time.
The below issue has now been resolved by an app update for android. I have increaseded my score to 5 stars as there is now no reason not to recommend them.
Original review:
I love these headphones as the fit, sound quality and everything else is great. Why the low score? Because they are not recognised by the app on some Android phones/versions. They connect by Bluetooth to your phone and you can use them, but you can’t customise the equaliser or noise cancellation without the app. They connected fine to the IoS version of the app, but not on my (new/decent brand) Android phone. If you check the reviews on the Play store you will find many people with the same issue. I also know it is not all Soundcore headphones that have this issue. My Q45s connect to the app perfectly. So, if yoy can live without customisation or equaliser features, or your are connecting to an apple device I wholeheartedly recommend them. Otherwise you’re paying a decent amount of money for features you can’t use. I tried all troubleshooting steps including reinstalling the app, resetting the earbuds, clearing the app cache and trying connecting in a different order but it is obviously a specific glitch between these headphones and the latest version of android. Maybe there will be an update to fix it, but I’ve got better things to do with my money than sit around hoping it gets fixed!
the sound can be customised to your liking in the app, you can make your own eq so you can bring up certain aspects of the sound like mids and stuff like that. i made my own preset which is a blend between the signature sound and treble boost, and it works very well with all my music.
ive worn my friends airpods for reference. these are more comfortable and stable in my ear than the airpods. aswell as this they leak less audio and block a lot more outside sound. audio is a bit better than the airpods without my eq preset, and even better with it.
one month into wearing it my left side was suddenly a lot quieter than my right. after 2 days it somehow solved itself and i dont even know how.
OVERALL I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I consider myself to be an audiophile and sound quality is always my top priority. As with my other soundcore ear/headphones they appreciate some EQ to get the most detail out of them. The standard setting is pretty muddy but the settings in the photo attached made it much better and I’m sure further improvements could be found with more tweaking as this was just a quick “fix”.
The buds fit snuggly and comfortably. I would happily wear them for extended periods and the touch controls work well enough.
The noise cancellation and transparency are ok considering the price but nothing special. I have the liberty air 2 pro which seem better in this regard, and the sound quality seems very slightly better too.
The soundcore app is really good and these buds work well with it. I like the sleep feature which lets you create different soundscapes. I haven’t used it to sleep but it’s a pretty cool feature that you don’t hear much about.
If you can afford the liberty air 2 pro, I think I would chose those over the p3 but they are very close.
The sound quality is very good. I really like how the lower sound is delivered. Nice, thick, round sound with plenty of volume. Audio in call very good too.
I’m not a huge fan of in-ear type because my ear canal is very small but thanks to 5 different size silicon insert, I found the size I’m comfortable with. Overall it still feels it’s not completely in but, so far, they never popped out my ears and they feel comfortable even after few hours.
Very quick to connect and I didn’t have any problem with it. Just remember to remove the sticker when you unboxed them because they cover the connectors and, as a result, they will not connect with the base.
The case is fine. Doesn’t feel too cheap. Works well and has wireless charging too.
Noise cancelling option is decent: it add a sort of whit noise that reduce by a lot background noise. You can still hear it but I consider it a good think because not having any background noise at all can be dangerous.
Battery life so far is great: I’m still using it with the charge they came with. Used them for multiple short sessions (1 hour) but still at around 80%.
I think it’s one of the best deal out there.
====
* Great sound – actually, fantastic sound.
* Excellent battery life.
* Neat little charging/storage case, very pocketable.
Dislikes
======
* Probably the worst designed manual I’ve ever seen. It’s printed in tiny light blue text on a white background and many people will simply not be able to read it. It can be found on the manufacturer’s website but it’s NOT easy to find there. Once you do find it, some instructions are poor such as changing Bluetooth sources.
* These earbuds do NOT support connecting to multiple sources at once (A2DP). That means that if you want to connect to a PC and a smartphone, you’ll have to disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth devices. Easy to do once you’ve done it a few times but an unnecessary pain and made worse by that poor manual.
* Noise cancellation is not perfect. It’s good enough to mute road/rail noise and voices to some extent.
Soon after my original review, I had a message from Anker’s Customer Support, offering me a replacement set of earbuds; that was despite the fact that I had already received a refund. Esther (the Customer Support lady) said they wanted to offer me an opportunity to test-drive the earbuds and let them know what I thought. To make one thing clear – at no point there was any suggestion that I would be expected to change my review; I’m really enjoying my Life P3 earbuds and think it’s only fair to share my experience.
Here is my product review after a couple of months of using Life P3:
1. I like the sound quality; I was pleasantly surprised how much difference these earbuds make to my music listening experience. I realise that everyone’s preferences are different, but my three favourite pre-sets are the piano, acoustic and the podcast; those three give me the most vibrant, rich sound.
2. The distance/connectivity range is very good – my phone can be somewhere downstairs in the house, I am upstairs and can still listen to the music using the earpods.
3. I like the fact that the app allows for personalisation of the controls; the pre-set controls didn’t make much sense to me, so I changed them to what felt more natural;
4. Volume control was a bit temperamental initially; I set it to ‘2 seconds hold’ to make it louder/quieter and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t, but now seems perfectly fine; maybe a software update fixed it, or maybe I’ve just learnt to use the earbuds properly (this it the first pair of wireless earbuds I’ve ever owned)
5. I keep forgetting that I have to un-pair the earbuds from one device to be able to pair them with another one, so had a moment of panic a few days ago, thinking that they stopped working! I don’t know if it’s possible to make the earbuds automatically forget the previous connection when attempting a new one; that sort of thing would be very useful.
6. I used the earbuds listening to the music indoors and outdoors; on a Teams call and also having a conversation over WhatsApp outdoors. They worked fine in all those situations.
7. The noise cancelling mode does let through a fair bit of traffic noise, in fact, I have not noticed much difference between the noise cancellation and the ‘normal’ mode; that is probably a blessing, making them safer to use when out and about. If anything, I think music sounds better in the normal mode; it’s difficult to describe why, but I do prefer the normal mode.
8. I am not too keen on the ‘transparency’ mode as that simply seems to amplify the surrounding sounds, making them too loud for me. The difference between ‘normal’ and ”transparency’ mode is significant.
9. Last but not least – the earbuds seem to last quite a long time without charging and they charge up quickly. The only thing I noticed is that sometimes the battery on one of them runs down quicker than on the other one (based on what the Soundcore app tells me), but I assume that could depend on how my controls are set up / which earbud I tap more often.
10. The earbuds came with four pairs of spare silicone eartips in different sizes, which was great, as the ‘default’ ones were a bit too big for me, so I swapped them for a smaller size.
Overall, I am really happy with my Life P3 earbuds and the only reason I’ve taken away one star is that I have to try and remember which device I last used them with – my own laptop, my work laptop or one of my two phones – as they have to be manually disconnected from a previously paired device before connecting to another one. Maybe all Bluetooth devices work like that? I don’t use Bluetooth for anything else, so don’t know an answer to that.
The service I received from Esther from Anker’s Customer Support was first class – thank you!
The original review:
The ear buds look nice, were very straightforward to pair with my phone, but this is where the good things ended. The right earbud never produced any sound, it was dead out of the box. I installed the Anker Soundcore app on my phone and that showed that while the left earbud was fully charged, the right one didn’t have any any battery power in it. Either the earbud is faulty of the charging case is not working properly… Anyway, I’m returning those for a refund and buying something else instead.
I just wanted something for my occasional commute to the office that would cut out some bg noise and let me listen to music etc with reasonable quality. These are perfect.
Love the voice pass through mode. Like that it has a flat eq option that (attempts) to flatten the natural tone of the drivers and does a reasonable job. I hate overly bass heavy or scoopy sounds although those are possible via the app.
Great that there wasn’t excessive waste plastic in the box too. They’re loud enough without at any point feeling like they were doing damage to my hearing.
Overall very happy with the purchase, not gonna beat top end options but for a third/quarter of the price it’s hard to beat.
Just perfect for my needs. Phone call quality very good. Sound quality good.
Loving these so far; amazing quality for the price! Feel fantastic too.
Perfect sound quality and Bass! Acceptable Noise cancellation. I’ve searched for the most suitable product a lot and happy to get a good one.
TL;DR: Stunning sound at a really good price, ANC could be better.
I bought these on the back of my Son having the over ear ones. Anker put together some top quality items there is nothing not to like. A nice addition is the white noise function for sleeping love these.
Product arrived and i immediately put the earbuds on charge. Connected via Bluetooth easily with the simple press of a button on the case while the earbuds are still located in their charging bays, like that a lot and a good start to my buying experience. Was then prompted to update the firmware which the app took care of in under 3 minutes.
So now time to put the attractive earbuds in. Have to say, sit very well in my ears with the slight twist. Don’t feel like they’ll fall out and very comfortable. Again used the app to check the fit of the earbuds and got the thumbs up so no need to change the rubber tips with the other pairs also supplied, Anker recognising that not all ear shapes and sizes are the same, another nice touch.
So after a simple set up I’m ready to press play on my music source, (my own personal server via a synology NAS). First impressions where very clear vocals and a clean thumping bass. This is on standard setting of signature without bass up and ANC turned off. I was sat in my home office which is very quiet.
Listened to London Grammar – America. The little P3 buds provided the haunting vocals nearly on point. So I had a play with the many equaliser choices and if I’m honest wasn’t 100% satisfied but not far off, say 85% – 90% there in terms of what I wanted to hear. I invested a little time in setting a custom equaliser option up and wow, SPOT ON. You could not expect any more in terms of sound reproduction on this price point. Head and shoulders above my old Jabra Elite 65T’s which incidentally I had ongoing problems with one of them dropping out until it eventually went faulty.
So music quality wise, I’m very happy.
I think the wireless charging is genius also at this price point.
So went to the supermarket this afternoon to pick up some bits. I used my new Life P3’s and turned on the ANC and used the outdoor setting which was the most effective in a very busy supermarket. I honestly never heard a thing in the background noise and had to take the buds out when I got to the till because I couldn’t hear the lady working on the till, and didn’t want to appear rude.
So overall after 24hours of use I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and buying experience.
If you want a pair of buds that deliver on quality paired with an intuitive app then look no further than Ankers Soundcore P3 buds. If you insist on buying flagship brands that cost 3 or 4 times these buds, read this review again.
The headphones work really well considering the price they have. I had a technical problem with mine a few months after buying and the customer support team sent me a replacement immediately.
I don’t write reviews normally, but I love the music sound quality of these buds;
and to my ears, the bass is very good.
Not had them long enough to check the quality of the calls though.
Before theses I had P2.
P3 fit in your ears better. They are flatter. They are louder and the noise cancelling settings are awesome! I like how they connect together as a pair and the second you open the pod. Down side to these ones compared the the P2 is that they are touch not button. That is a con. But everything else is just perfec
These earbuds start right by arriving with multiple tips, down a size for me but test them out before you make your mind up, they make a serious difference to the sound and noise cancellation.
Speaking of, noise cancellation on these is excellent in terms of how much noise they cancel, not perfect in implementation but close. I tested this against my girlfriends airpod pros, these cut noise down more, at the expense of a more obvious experience, you can hear them a little all the time when you’re not playing music. They also handle most situations very well but some wind gusting is almost amplified, on the other hand, road noise, speech and even quite sudden noises like doors banging are muted down to being quite distant very well.
Sound quality is really quite good, comparable to more expensive options for sure, though it can lack punch at times – something that seems to be an artefact of the noise cancellation. Very pleasing to listen to for the most part but there’s subtle quality loss depending on the environment.
The control scheme is excellent, touch controls where one ear does one thing and the other something else make far more sense than a list of how many times to tap for common functions.
Pairing is easy and really added to by the case being able to control it.
Battery life is really good on the buds and I’ve yet to be let down by the case, I haven’t used them without noise cancelling but the fact that I can do multi hour phone calls or listen to music throughout the work day between meetings without having had a dead battery speaks to a good job done on battery life.
I wouldn’t get these for noise cancelling alone. The noise cancelling is slightly better than not having it, it’s mainly quite good at cancelling out low rumbling noises. On a discount at around 50 they’re okay value.
Really pleased with my earbuds, I reviewed loads of different types and have a mini Anker speaker that I love so I just went with these and glad I did, they fit perfect, were easy to pair to my phone, easy to use, good sound to listen to music and great noise cancelling, haven’t used them to answer the phone yet though but great for everything else.
I bought these when I had sent the P2 back. So far really pleased.
Sound quality great you can change the setting for sound in the app to your preference.
Comfortable, I was a bit nervous about the comfort based on some of the reviews. However I find them very comfortable.
Calls – so far no issues, however have only seated in fairly quiet environments.
Noise cancellation- there are a few options to try for this in the app. When sat in costa I could certainly tell the improvement. However it did nothing about the very loud child.
Battery life – don’t think it gets close to the stated battery life. They were nearly dead after about 4 ish hours.
All in all great for the price and suit me fine.
I bought these as a replacement for B&W ones, and the difference is startling. The app let’s me select a sound scene that really works well with my music. Overall a great little pair of earbuds.
Just lovely. Ordered coral. Very pretty easy to find. Quality product. My only criticism from me and my Son who has the same is they can fall loose. He wipes ears with alcohol wipes before using but obviously this is not recommended.
Great design.
Great fit and comfortable for the ear.
Very well built.
Small case.
Powerful battery.
The noise cancellation works really well and lso has setting for outdoors and indoors.
The app is a huge plus as well as it works seamlessly.
Really positively surprise!
Never beloved Anker could create a product that good.
After my AirPods packed in I bought these not knowing how good they’d be. I wasn’t disappointed, great sound, they fit in your ears nicely and don’t fall out in the gym.
Connected instantly with my iPhone and haven’t missed a beat ( pardon the pun ) since.
Great on phone calls so I can’t fault these at all
As a buyer of many cheap headphones from amazon, eg the 20 range, I finally bit the Bullet and spent 70 on the Anker. At first I was skeptical, as Anker is not a household name, but looking at the reviews and their range convinced me. They seem really committed to update their devices and keep them at the head of technology. Note that the headphones connect to an app on your phone which keeps the firmware updated.
Another major draw is the way they go in the ear. I don’t like bud earphones that keep popping out of the ear. These go in easily and are comfortable and really secure.
The piece de resistance however is the sound quality. It’s really really good, especially if you like subsonics and base. For human conversations it’s also incredibly clear. Its also worth saying that these are very well made. You can feel the quality as soon as you take it out of the box. As a Leica shooter and a watch collector I appreciate quality construction!! Lastly the battery life is very good, and the battery case is on the smaller side.
Highly recommend.

I’ve bought 4 pairs of these so far, for my girlfriend and various family members and all of them have loved them – including myself (I listen to music 24/7 – so Anker have definitely done something right…
I’ve used a Long list of audio devices including verious analogue open-backed studio headphones, high end speakers, and noise cancelling headphones such as the Sony WH-1000XM series. These live up to my standards – and for the price, I can’t imagine there being anything better in terms of looks, sound quality, battery life etc.
Battery life and charging speed:
These earphones are great. They charge very fast and just 10 minutes charge will last me hours – and the charging case for them helps them to last even longer and can be charged either wirelessly or via USB-C. While I tend towards the use of USB-C as it charges so quickly and my phone makes use of the same cable, the wireless charging feature has come in useful when using my phone’s reverse charge capabilities. In the year that I’ve had these I’ve fully run out of battery once – on a long haul flight, and it wasn’t too much of a hassle to just put them in the case and wait for them to charge for a while before putting them back in. Generally for these sorts of outings I’d stick to over ear headphones anyway since their battery life is far superior. You can also use only one while the other charges for a while (either one, they both work individually).
Sound quality:
As mentioned above, I have pretty extensive experience with audio and I’ve got to say these are excellent – especially for the price. Most headphones inflict a degree of pain on my soul when I have to use ones that are inadequate,these are perfectly adequate and I get no soul-pain :). Attached is a photo of the equaliser that has so far been my daily driver.
There is plenty of bass – and since I tend to be a bit of a bass addict I’m happy with it. (Though I like when bass is deep I don’t like when it’s excessively abusing my eardrums for no reason). These do a very good job of giving powerful, yet clear bass without too much FWUMP.
As always Anker produces one of the best equipment at a reasonable price. This is one os such products. Dont hesitate just buy..
Bought for my autistic son. He loves them. Helps him to control the world of sound around him thus reducing pain and stress. Great value for a high quality, superbly designed piece of tech. Highly recommend.
Very good sound quality. The noise cancellation mode is great and they are very easy to pair and use. Highly recommended. Great price too.
As mentioned, it is difficult to know when the sound cancellation is on or off. I asked the helpline but I just got referred to the manual. When selecting noise cancellation, there are two different bleeps, one is louder than the other, there is no indication which tells you whether it is on or off.
Really great earbuds, the sound quality is like over ear headphones. Build quality is top notch, this is my first pair of Anker headphones and I will buy again! I like that the driver cover isn’t plastic mesh but is real metal, so you can tell they really care with build quality.
As someone who cant wear airpods comfortably I had to search for something else and let me tell you these are the best earbuds I have ever had! Not only does the battery last ages but also they are so comfortable and adjustable and provide amazing sound and an app that can help with multiple different things
I bought these after losing a single earbud from a more expensive pair of wireless ANC earbuds. As these are cheaper than the previous ones I was expecting a lot less quality and less functionality. I could not have been more wrong.
These earbuds easily match the sound quality of my previous ones and the ANC surpasses them with a wide range of ANC oprions which work very well. As for features (via the app) it has some superb options including a graphic equaliser, ambient sounds (to help you sleep) AND a feature to find a list earbud.
Astounding product for the price.
Great sound, battery, comfortable and design. Indoor mic is good but outside outdoor calling need some improvements.
These are great value. Really long battery life, comes with different size rubber bits to fit all ears. The app is really good and lets you choose different noise cancellation options, this is perfect for runners that need to hear cars etc. The only down size is that I wish they would turn off automatically after a period of inactivity even if they’re not in the case, sometimes the noise cancellation isn’t perfect but I don’t have anything else to compare them to so it might be the same with all brands. Overall a great value product and a good alternative to the rip off airpods.
Work well and my son really likes them. Seems well made and fairly sturdy. The find my headphones beep from the app is an absolute waste of time (he loses them alot) and the noise given out would trouble an ant to hear but that is my/his only dislike.
I bought these as a gift and the receiver loves them. Especially as they fit comfortably in a very small ear cavity. The noise cancellation is excellent also, so a purchase well made. I have the Liberty Pro 3s so very pleased with the quality of the buds all round
I wasn’t sure which buds to buy so my daughter recommended these and for the price and quality I am more than happy.
The only issue for me is that I must have very small ear canals as even with the smallest fittings, they feel a little too big – still able to use and enjoy them tho.
Love My Music so my Bud’s have to be good.
These are very good, very good.
Value for money, quality.
Don’t pay silly money for your Buds.
Give these a go
I did notice road noise coming from cars but had that in the Liberty Pro 2s as well.
So if you need some buds but are not near a road these are a steal for 39.99. Liberty’s were 120 but discounted to 70 but still no match for the P3’s
I cannot speak for the higher end buds Sennheiser and Bose as you need +200 for those. If you would like me to review them please contact me, but Soundcore P are good enough for me at the minute.
The App is super interactive and the first buds the I have tried that have a small enough bud that fits comfortably in my ear.
I sent a 200 pair of Beats back and tried these but was not expecting this quality sound for 1/4 of the cost.
100% recommend
The audio quality of these out the box is pretty good but with the customisable EQ you can tune these to your needs and tastes super easily.
I was a little concerned about the switch from a physical button on the p2 to the touch button on the p3 but I’ve yet to have any mistouches (however I did turn off the single touch control in the app).
The app itself is easy to navigate and hasn’t had any issues with connecting to my phone when opening the case. I’m not super keen on the social media aspect of it but it’s not mandatory to use and seems nonintrusive when not in use.
Battery life has so far been as advertised but I’ve not really tried to hypermile them but I’ve never had the battery run dry even after 4-5 hours straight listening to podcasts at work.
Comfort took a little getting used to but the addition of multiple tips makes it a little easier to get the right feel and a tight seal to your ears.
Noise cancellation is a little hissy at times but for the price I’d say it’s an above average performance. (I managed to snag these in a sale for around 50)
The case is small and compact with a lovely satisfying close and it feels sturdy enough. I could probably break it if I tried but in day to day use I can’t fault it.
Overall a great product for the price with features of a much higher priceband.
Comfort wise these were amazing out of the box they fit in my ear nicely with a nice comfortable fit, so I didn’t need to change the earbuds but it has a fantastic range of different sized earbuds if I needed it. I can easily wear these for a long time with no issues.
Sound quality wise I found these product amazing quality with good deep bass and treble. I found these earphones to be quite bass and treble heavy but the clarity was still extremely good and it has a good range of loudness making it versatile for all sorts of genres and people. Microphone quality was also very impressive with it 6 microphones it offer nice crisp vocals that are great on calls and I found the recipient can hear me with no problem in both quiet and nosier settings.
It’s packed with features such as great battery life, these things last for many hours. Good Bluetooth range I can easily have these in my ear and leave my phone in the other room with no problem just as long as there isn’t many obstacle. I love how I can adjust the sounds in the app which support these earphones to get the sounds I want. Touch controls worked well and were responsive and can easily be change to what you want via the app.
I did find the ANC to be one of the weaker aspects of these earphones. If you get a proper fit in they already cancel out most of the background noises anyways so I didn’t see myself using this feature as much, but its good to have when I need it.
Overall I’ve been really impressed with these earphones. They come in at a great price and offer all the high performance and quality you’d expect. They also look amazing and it’s a great all round earphones.
Hope you found my review useful.
The sound from them are fantastic for the price. Yes you will get a better sound from other ear buds but you will be paying x3 the price of these.
If you want a fantastic sound with a deep bass and a good noise cancellation then look no further.
5 out of 5.
battery life is good, 3 to 4 days out of them for my work commute. The app is decent!
So far extremely happy with them, The noise cancellation is extremely good (you can change the settings with the app).
The only concern I have is with the housing lid which doesn’t seem very sturdy.
Sound quality is great, noise cancellation is really good, and bass while listening to music is awesome! Bit of sound delay on video calls but is ok
I have used Soundcore (and other Anker brands) for a number of years now, so they were one of my check-out brands when I was looking for a new set of earbuds to use at work.
These are some of the best earbuds I have used, which do not cost the earth and have a good connection to my phone and Chromebook. Setting them up was easy and using the Soundcore app, I was able to upgrade the firmware on them to the latest release. The sound quality is excellent, and they give a good deep sound, which is also adjustable using the app’s equalizer. I have been able to get a good balance of bass and higher treble without distortion and sound breakup that has plagued some of the older earbuds I have used.
One of the stand out features for me though is how well they have maintained a connection to my phone. In the past, having my phone in my jeans pocket has always meant that I got occasional audio dropouts, but with these I have had nothing so far.
The storage box they come in holds enough charge to keep these going for a few days of use at work and has an added benefit of being wireless charge capable. The only problem with this is the case is rounded, so putting it on a vertical charger is harder, with the case often sliding off. On a flat horizontal charger though, it is perfect.
Overall, another quality product from Anker & Soundcore. They are well made and look stylish, with sound quality and features to match. Recommended.
Noise cancellation, sound quality, battery life and the app are all fantastic. I can’t recommend these enough.
After My review customer service team contacted me and sent me new earbuds. They have the best customer service I ever had.
I have used cheaper and most reviewed item on amazon but that was not good with microphone and I have also used P2 of anker but these earbuds are on other Level. I mostly used these pair on bike but I never had problem while listening or calling.
If you need a perfect all rounder in less price that’s the perfect choice. According to me these can easily beat any earbuds in noise cancellation, calling and bass.
The p3’s are very comfortable for my small ears, I ordered the P2’s first, as they’re more waterproof but the sound quality was terrible. so I returned them and bought the P3’s and the sound is so much better. They have more depth of sound and bigger bass.
Nice earbuds that worked straight out of the box with my (very) old Nokia Windows Smartphone – nice sound, good battery life, don’t need to download the app to use the noise-cancelling feature. Good selection of different sized foam cones allows you to find one sufficiently small so that you don’t hear your own footsteps too badly. Very nice product.
When you buy the product you can be VERY assured that they will listen to all your complaints and fix the issues as quick as possible. I had an issue with mine and they replaced it in no time and very simply. Love the customer service and great quality earbuds.
The sound quality is amazing, my only little niggle is it takes a fraction longer to connect than my last se
It’s a bummer it doesn’t have multipoint connection support. It’s a bit difficult to use if you use it with multiple devices.
I found the touch controls difficult to use (and even remember most of the time) They’re not as intuitive as I may have wanted.
Also would have been great to have aptX support because the latency is quite visible when matching videos/ movies with it.
I bought these as replacements for my lost Galaxy Pro 2’s and was really unsure as to whether they would be anywhere as good. I was so wrong. The fit more comfortably, they sound better and they have settings that really make a difference depending on whether you are indoors, or outdoors or on a plane. My only two small complaints is the battery doesn’t last as long as the Earpods but you can still get great use out of them. The other small complaint is as they are earpods they cam speed up the process of getting annoying earwax buildup. However they are a snugger fit and don’t irritate my ears as much as the earpods. Overall very happy.
Buy the soundcore life 3 with confidence. For me personally i was extremely impressed with these especially at the price. Sound quality is impressive, bass, mids and treble superb, they fit and stay in the ear snuggly. Really impressed. I couldn’t ask more from an in ear headset for music. I didn’t buy them for any other purpose than listening to music although understand that they can be used for call communication too.
