Soundcore P30i by Anker Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Strong and Smart Noise Cancelling, Powerful Bass, 45H Playtime, 2-in-1 Case and Phone Stand, IP54, Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4 (Black)

I like the overall design of these, the case and buds themselves are nice and compact and look neat. The case could use a better way to tell what level it’s at, all it has is return buds to case, if light is solid it’s good, if it blinks bad. Could have just used 4 lights or something, different colors, anything.Sound quality is pretty good, fit is pretty good, noise cancelling quality is average.So far I’ve had zero issues with battery life or pairing, and it’s impressive that they have both noise cancelling and device switching on a pair of wireless earbuds this inexpensive. The anker app that allows you to set EQ and controls is nice too.

I bought these because my Sony WF-1000XM4’s recently gave out. I only had them for two years and I couldn’t justify spending another $280 on earbuds. I had heard good things about the Soundcore series, so I figured I’d give them a shot. Not much to lose, especially since I got them on sale for $30.These blew my expectations out of the water. The sound quality is excellent, especially for the price point. They probably won’t satisfy a serious audiophile, but for normal people who want descent quality sound for streaming music from their phone, these are hard to beat. They hold up well against buds that cost 5 times as much. The sound stage is actually really impressive for in-ear headphones. The bass is deeper than expected, but tight and not boomy or overwhelming. They aren’t quite as crisp as my old Sony’s, but I think they’re more neutral and for the money, I really wonder why I spent so much on the last pair.As far as other features go, they are also great. Battery life is great, they pair easily and don’t require the app to function as basic Bluetooth headphones. The app does work well though, and I loved that I had so many options for settings on the touch controls on the buds. There’s 4 individually programmable settings for each bud, so you can really get every control you want programmed in all at once. They fit really nicely, they’re super light, and they’re comfy for long periods of time. The noise cancelling is the weakest part of these headphones, but I’m probably just spoiled by the Sony’s. The noise cancelling works great if you’re listening to music or something, but if it’s quiet music or if you just want to block sound, it lets quite a bit through. The phone stand built into the case seemed kinda gimmicky to me at first, but it actually works really well, at least in landscape.Honestly, I can’t recommend these enough and I’m really curious about what the other Soundcore headphones have to offer.

Form factor is really nice, small case and earbuds are a nice size, stem is shorter than typical Soundcore earbuds. Fits comfortably. The sound is good but the downfall is slight distortion and vibrating sound I’ve noticed in cheaper Soundcore products when volume is a bit up. Even with firmware update, it’s still present. I’d put out a few more dollars for the P40i where the distortion is not present and has wireless charging. If you could combine the size of the earbuds of the P30i with the case and sound quality of the P40i it would be the perfect set of earbuds. But these are going back knowing that there are better Soundcore products that just cost slightly more. I’m someone who keeps track of Soundcore products so I’m always down to test, particularly any noise canceling products. This one to me just isn’t a keeper.
