These are the best ear buds I've ever bought! I'm sensitive to noises and the sound cancelation is unreal. Miss than 80% of the time I keep one in my ear. My vision isn't great so I'm guessing my hearing is trying to be up to par. I have a toddler and naturally kids are noisy, but these head phones have saved my sanity d so many times. Actually as I'm writing this I have them in. The cool thing is you can change the noise cancelation around and I LOVE being able to change up when it comes to the sound. There's many Irina or it let you create your own! I love these so much i have 2 pairs!!!

I was looking for a good quality but inexpensive ear buds. I am so happy I bought these on sale because these more than fit the criteria. I've had them for several months and have not had one problem. The sound is great. No one has complained about not being able to hear me, especially my Mom. They stay charged a long time and no problem connecting to my devices. They are durable. I've dropped them a couple of times but still sounds great. I will buy another pair when needed but hopefully not for awhile.

Soundcore Life Note 3 XR - Fantastic!

I have purchased several Soundcore products over the years - Inifini Pro Soundbar, Liberty 2 Pro, Liberty Air 2, Life Note, and Life Note E headphones. The Soundcore Life Note 3 XR headphones are fantastic! They were a Deal of the Day special - $59.99! They charged quickly and were easy to pair to my Moto G Power phone. I am very familiar with the Soundcore app and it provides many ways to customize the touch response and noise cancellation. My main use is at my new job as a recycling sorter where I'm in a very noisy environment for 10 hours/day. They fit well in my ears with the medium tips and do not hurt. The noise cancellation works extremely well and it is very easy to turn on transparency with two quick taps to allow me to hear my supervisors. The case is very small and fits into my pocket without discomfort. One final note is that the battery lasts all day. All I do is put them in the case for 30 minutes at lunch time.

These wireless earbuds are great! The sound quality is good if you’re listening to music or on a call. They have an adjustable sound settings and you can control the volume from simply tapping the earbud. Value wise, these are hard to beat.

For the price these are as good as you can get. My only complaint is the Bluetooth connection. Not the connection itself which seems good but when going from one device to another, I have to do a reconnect shuffle, that is, I have to completely log off, close the case and log in and manually connect to the next device, sometimes twice. Dale breaker? No, because the sound is good, the noise cancelling is good and the price is good. I would buy them again.

This is my third Anker Soundcore product, and they've never disappointed. I was looking to upgrade my earbuds that use during my train commute. These were on sale, and they're definitely worth the money and then some.
Really comfortable in the ears (the different ear tips help). The sound on these is nice and crisp, and you can customize the EQ profile on the Soundcore app based on what you're listening to. Biggest draw for me was the noise cancellation, which you can also customize on the app - you can do profiles based on where you are and if you want transparency while you're walking or on public transit.
I'm so happy to have come across this model of Soundcore earbuds, I love these so much and have more than shown their worth!

It was for my 10year son, it was really great for first few months and he lost both ear plugs while returning home from school. He was not able to recollect where did he kept. Next day my daughter found one ear plug outside. That was working but still he was missing one. Almost after 2-3 months she found another on our neighbour’s sidewalk. To our surprise after charging the case and ear plugs those are still working. That was outside in full rain, sun, fertiliser and what not. Will give 5/5 rating for this headphones. Would recommend it to everyone. Thanks.

I'm a gig driver so I do need a very good pair of earbuds. After I tried several earbuds brands including galaxy buds plus, I took my chance to get this one because it has all the features that I want like enhanced call performance, multi-mode noise canceling, long hours of battery life, etc... Of course, it does all those features. And it's so easy to pair with my new phone Galaxy S22 Ultra. I have no problem at all.

Have been using it for the past 2 weeks, and so far it has worked very well. Sound quality is good, fits well, although it could be a bit more comfortable (but it is as good as any other models with similar fitting). It is a great alternative to the expensive original Apple ones.

These headphones are so great. I bought them for the gym and after using them for a couple weeks, and vigorous workout sessions, I have absolutely no regrets. I have been using AirPods since the day they came out and I never thought I would switch to different headphones. But I can honestly say that I would buy these again. The noise canceling feature is amazing. I would suggest using them with the provided app. If not, you would be losing a lot of really good features that it has to offer. If anyone is on the fence about buying these, I would suggest just doing it. I’ve had zero regrets and will recommend these to anyone looking for a great pair of ear buds.

These are great for connecting to a device and listening to audio - music, tv, and movies.
But, I bought these for working out. I have to give up on in-ear headphones for working out. None of them stay in my ears, they all fall out, regardless of brand. I'll stick with my overear wireless headphones for the gym.
I love these for work, tavel, streaming on laptop, etc. The audio quality is very good and the noise cancelling is great. Make sure you download the app for your phone - you can customize the tap buttons - and I suggest reading the manual. It helps.

Soundcore is a pretty good brand compared to the rest of the earbuds on the market. The sound quality is good and the app works well with the earbuds. The noise-cancelling feature is a plus. Best Buy had a good sale on these earbuds, why pay double the price for other brands.

In A Crowded Market They Really Stand Out
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The market for wireless earbuds has gotten extremely crowded and it really takes a lot to stand out lately, but these Anker Soundcore wireless earbuds have somehow managed to do just that. I have used many great wireless earbuds over the years, but I was still surprised by how much I like these earbuds. They offer everything you would want in wireless earbuds (great sound quality, comfortable to wear, effective active noise cancellation, stable Bluetooth, long battery life), and all at an exceptionally competitive price. They are now my daily wear earbuds, and I highly recommend them to anyone.
The first thing to do is download the exceptional Soundcore App. The App is not necessary to use, but not using it will cause you to miss out on some nice features and control convenience. Anker really impressed me with how well designed their App is. It makes setting up and controlling these earbuds as easy as could be. The App walked me through the initial setup and has a sound measuring test to ensure that I was using the right size tips to achieve a tight ear seal. If a tight ear seal is not achieved sound quality will be affected, especially bass response. Included is an assortment of eartips in various sizes.
As much as I love the App, of course the most critical requirement for headphones is that they sound good. These earbuds do not disappoint in this area and offer exceptional sound quality. They use high quality drivers to deliver full range sound with surprising levels of bass. The App has an excellent equalizer function to further fine tune the sound to personal preference, or to accommodate different types of listening material. I left it on the default Souncore Signature EQ setting, but the equalizer offers several different preset settings and a BassUp option. There is also a custom setting for those that want to set their own EQ levels.
The active noise cancelling (ANC) really impressed me with how effective it is. It makes a noticeable difference in noisy environments. I tested the ANC by turning it on and off in a running vehicle and under a ceiling fan set to high. With the ANC turned on the mechanical sounds of the engine and ceiling fan motor were almost completely reduced. Turning the ANC off resulted in the mechanical noise immediately returning. The ANC has 3 different setting (Transport, Indoor, Outdoor).
There is also a Transparency Mode for when you want to hear sounds that are around you more clearly. There are 2 different Transparency settings (Fully Transparent or Vocal). The Vocal setting was especially helpful in amplifying voices around me, all thanks to the microphones and excellent processing.
The Apple version of the App I am using allows a widget to be created and placed in the quick access section of iOS. This widget allows the ANC setting to be changed without opening up the App.
The call quality is beyond excellent. Voice calls sound superior to using the phone by itself because the earbud processing effectively isolates and filters out background noises.
The earbuds automatically turn on and connect when the case is opened. I find this to be very convenient, and prefer that to having to power them on individually, like some other earbuds that I have used. The Bluetooth connects instantly and is very stable and long range. I was able to leave my phone anywhere in the house and walk around and stay connected. I measured the range at about 50 feet before the connection dropped.
Another thing I greatly appreciate is that the left earbud can be used individually, as well as the usual right earbud. There are times when I need mono sound and like being able to choose which earbud I use for mono sound. The case is compact and easily fits in my pocket without being noticeable.
The App also has some other features that I really like and want to mention. The first being that the earbud touch control button operation can be changed from the default settings. Several different functions can be set to be controlled by 1 or 2 taps on the left or right earbuds.
Some other features the App offers is a “find my earbuds'' sound, which is quite loud and should not be used while worn, and a Superior Sleep mode that plays numerous white noise sleep sounds that can even be combined and each adjusted by level.
It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the case and earbuds. The earbuds lasted me about 7 hours per charge. This will of course depend on volume levels and whether processing such as noise cancellation or transparency is being used. The case can charge them 5 times for a total of about 35 hours of listening time.
I give these Anker Soundcore wireless earbuds nearly perfect marks for active noise cancelling, comfort, design, and sound quality. In my opinion, these wireless earbuds are nearly impossible to beat at this price point..

These are some of the best budget wireless earbuds you can find. Sound quality may not be the absolute best as something you'd find in AirPods but it excels in battery life. These have lasted me for 4-6 hours straight and its really easy to have them connect as soon as you put them in your ear.
