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)

Amazing headphones. The noise cancelling is great and the audio is very clear. The base is also amazing and overall I am happy with them. And they are only $30. The fit is good and they come with ear pieces that you can fit depending on the size of your ear canal. Control buttons do lag a little wen you double tap but not really a big issue. Volume control is great and they can get pretty loud. Also very easy to use and connect to any device.

After spending $1000 in headphones/earbuds in the last 3 years (1 Sony $390, 1 Samsung $350, 1 Google $199), and being disappointed with "cost/benefit" on all 3, I decided to give a shot at this absolutely inexpensive option. But before pressing "buy now" and just purchase it, I decided to do very same work I did when buying the other 3 premium devices, and took my time, reading reviews, educating myself about the company and it's commitment with customers/users, and finally, I went deep into the specs of the hardware, software, and the mobile app (this last one definitely a big plus). At this point you might say: "it's a freaking $30 Bluetooth earbud" just buy, use it, and if doesn't deliver it's promises, then just return it and add another "zero" to the original $30 and buy a premium device. Well, not so fast... I was intrigued by how good it all sounded and I want to use this whole experience to test an assumption I've been carrying for a short while, which is that we've been all scammed and abused with the so called premium priced devices, in other words , if you want the goods, you have to pay much higher price for it. So, I looked into this as an opportunity to unmask my theory and for that I had to put the "works" in place. After blending and filtering all the information gathered (the process even included "unclutter suspicious" reviews), the conclusion was obvious: despite all looking very standard, there was a positively intriguing desire to give it a try, and the result couldn't be more satisfying. Design looks average initially, but it actually reflects a distinct personality with a touch of elegance, specially with the colors available (green was my option and I was not disappointed). The hardware is absolutely underestimated for the price tag, meaning, it has the ability to deliver a sound quality that matches my Sony WH1000 (I listen to audio-music/books/podcasts an average of 6 hours a day) with crystal clear sound nuances, including a sharp treble and a solid bass, and yesssss, a battery life that will get you listening music and talking on the phone for a few days just by a one full charge on the charging case. Call quality... isn't this feature one of the most important components that will drive us towards or far away from a device...Yes!!!! So here it is: Shockingly amazing call quality. They built this right, and the balance between the software and the hardware, is in perfect harmony, 4 mics and AI, cleaning all the "distractions" away from phone conversations, and music listening without any disappointment. And here is the "cherry in the cake: THE MOBILE APP. Again, another well built component of the whole experience. Better than my Sony, Google, and yes, heartbreaking, my Samsung (I'm a big fan of Samsung products). Summarizing, it's not Bluetooth 6.0, not 14mm sound shell, but it's absolutely a shocker of a quality device that only cost me $30, and it gives me peace of mind with call and music-sound quality. Noise Canceling absolutely under your control, through an app designed with everything you need to make it "your way", and satisfy your desire to listen music like a music producer ;) Ps: no one paid me to write this review, and despite the fact that I don't ever right a review, here is one I hope it will add value to your decision.

I had a pair of the AirPod Pros for a couple years when I blew out the left one when my sound was accidentally turned to max one day. They were out of the Apple Care warranty period and I was waiting until they went on sale over the holidays to replace when I saw the positive reviews on the Soundcore P30i. I thought for less than the price of just the Apple Care warranty alone that I’d give them a try so I picked up a pair in black. I was shocked with the quality of the earbuds build and performance, WOW! It paired easily with my iPhone Pro and sounded great, but it wasn’t until I downloaded the Soundcore app that I realized their full potential. In the app you can set up the functions of each earbud and also select your choice of sound quality. For me the surround sound option blew my AirPod Pros out of the water. Unbelievable! And the bass is spectacular. I was so thrilled that I immediately purchased another pair as a backup and have since purchased two pairs as gifts for friends at the gym who had Beats and AirPod pros and they were both blown away. Finally, we all agreed that these earbuds stay in your ears better too, once you find the best fit among the three choices provided. And the battery life is great. There is also a function to use with more than one device, so I often use them with my iPad as well. Just Google the easy to follow directions for easy pairing of two devices. In conclusion, my Soundcore P30i earbuds are by far my best discovery on Amazon over the years, not only for the insane savings over AirPods (for less than the cost of Apple Care alone), but the excellent sound quality, which IMHO is far better. And for the price, these make an amazing gift as well.

The Soundcore P30i by Anker are pretty solid for what they cost. The sound quality is clear, and they stay comfortable even after wearing them for a while. They connect fast and the battery life is actually better than I expected. My only real complaint is the volume control you can’t turn it up quickly, and it takes a few taps to get it where you want it. Not a dealbreaker, just annoying when you’re trying to adjust on the fly. Other than that, they work exactly how you’d hope budget earbuds would. For the price, they get the job done and sound good doing it.

For pure sound quality, I recommend the Moondrop Space Travel TWS Earphone Bluetooth 5.3 Noise Canceling True Wireless Stereo IEMs(Black) over these. They are an off-brand, but popular, semi “in ear monitor” quality earbud. However, these Soundcore P30i are a lot easier to set up, change modes, an use, while not giving up much in terms of everyday music and video quality. Especially when watching tv and movies, you won’t likely notice any difference. So, let’s start with a “strong average” rating for these earbuds. No bad habits. No annoying faults. No weird emphasis on one part of the sound spectrum. How is set up? Well, be prepared for NO pairing button on the case or inside the hood. These enter paring mode automatically the first time you pull them out and remove the little plastic tabs off the charging spots. They will automatically pair with the most recently paired device IF it is on. Otherwise they go into pairing mode. If you really want to move them to another device, please delete from your old device first so you know what’s going on. (No probblem if your phone is stolen and you want to re-pair to your new phone). There is another step that I recommend. Download the Soundcore app. Use it to customize your settings. Especially you need to deal with ANC - activve noise cancelling. Do you want it On, Off, or Automatic? And set up the desired right and left ear “taps” for usual stuff like activating a voice assistant or answering a call. THE AUTOMATIC ON-OFF FOR ANC IS SOMETHING I HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE. It doesn’t activate in my apartment even when noisy trucks go by. I assume if activates automatically on airplanes, where the engine and airstream noise are constant (other reviewers have flown and confirm this. HOWEVER, given the new menu on the control panel, make sure your earbuds are in Automatic mode; when these first shipped (I have early release and current release firmware versions) they were Automatic only, with no way to “force” ANC as with other ANC earbuds. I think these should ship in Automatic mode, but they seem to ship in ANC-off mode now; use the app to select Auto mode, and to set the taps you want to use to cycle through the three ANC, Normal (silicone tips block some external sounds), and Transparent modes (Transparent uses the mics to relay external sounds through to your ears, as though you don’t have silicone noise blocking tips in the ear canal). Finally, the current firmware adds a chime to the three modes as you cycle through them. I would like to see a set of XL for extra large ear tips. Apple has started doing this. It is a challenge for some earbud designs since the cup holding the tip would need to be larger so the earbuds fit, but then the stem with the charging pads might wobble. Apple and Beats seem to be the only makers with the XL option. With L tips on, I have a good, but not snug, fit. On other earbuds with ANC test modes, I need noticeably snug earbud tips or I don’t bass the onboard ANC test. I intend to keep the app on my device for my next flight and test out Automatic and forced ANC modes and see if there is any difference. Also, to compare to the original Beats (not the later Plus) version) earbuds. I don’t need high fidelity inflight, just enough ANC so I can actually hear dialogue over the cabin roar. Finally, I have a drawer of varioius ANC options. Why did I invest another $30 in these? Disposability plus Anker assurance. In terms of disposability, keep in mind these don’t have a necklace - if one wiggles loose from yawning or eating and rolls away, it’s probably toast. No shrill alarm mode to help find it. Anker assurance? With the exception of a recalled powerbank, Anker has meant solid middle of the field design and reliability. Better audio than pre-Bose Skullcandy, actually comparable to the Solo Buds from Beats, but best value taking into account price, featrures, and quality. Heck, even without noise cancelling I would have bought these. With ANC they are a steal. Then add in the neat built in phone stand, and killer battery capacity for 14 hour flights? No brainer.

I ordered these to have a reliable pair of noise-cancelling earbuds, and I am honestly blown away by the value. The sound quality is fantastic, the bass is punchy and powerful without drowning out the mids and highs. The noise cancellation works surprisingly well for this price point, blocking out a good amount of background noise when I'm working or commuting. One of my favorite features is actually the charging case. The built-in phone stand design is such a clever touch; it’s super handy for watching videos on my phone while I'm eating or traveling. The battery life is excellent (I haven't had to charge the case in days), and they are comfortable enough to wear for long sessions. If you want great sound and a functional design without breaking the bank, these are a solid choice.

These are the most amazing earbuds I have ever owned. They connect to Bluetooth super quickly, they have amazing noise cancelation, they hold a charge for eternity, they are comfortable, and of course they also have wonderful sound quality. I love these earbuds more than my Airpods. They are outstanding.

My Apple earbuds stopped holding a charge, and I didn’t have the budget to replace them right away. I figured these Anker P30i earbuds would be a quick, temporary fix—especially since they were under $30 and came in pink! (I mean, how could I resist?) To my surprise, the sound quality is better than my Apple ones! The bass is deep & clear, & the noise canceling is impressive--again, better than Apple. they were also easy o connect to my devices. I've taken them on several flights, and they've held up great! I bought them back in August, and they still work perfectly and hold their charge for a long time! They're lightweight & easy to toss in my pocket or purse. (The carabiner case, purchased separately, makes it easy to attach to my purse. look up Geiomoo silicone case for P30i) The only downside and reason for only 4 stars is that sometimes they start to slilp out of my ears, so I have to adjust them & push them back in. (I bought my husband a pair and he had the same complaint) But, honestly, for under $30, that's a tiny trade-off for such great performance. Overall, an amazing value for the price. I have learned to really trust the ANKER brand.
