    Bought these for my wife to listen to her books and music. Much better price point than apple air pods. She loves how she just opened the case and they synced through Bluetooth right to her phone.

    Anker is one of the companies out there that is slowly creeping into the brands of electronic products that are household names. It just used to be a decent and less expensive brand you saw on Amazon, and now they area common at places like Best Buy and other retailers. This was the first Anker product that I tried other than a battery pack. I have a lot of ear buds, and I know what I like. I am not a fan of earbuds that are what I call ear plug style. The Soundcore Life Note E earbuds fall into that category. But to be honest, after trying they I immediately added them into my rotation. They are really good looking to start. They are well made, substancial and they just look like a high end product. At the price point, they are FAR beyond what you would expect. Anything under $50 you don’t really think are going to be any better than “okay” at best. But these break the mold. They are very small, and they don’t stick out far from your ears. They come with a variety of options for the range of ear sizes, so you will find one that works for you most likely. And they are so so so light, and they seal your ear for a noise cancellation The case is one of the best parts. It is equally small, and fits the buds perfectly. They allow for about 32 hours of playtime, which for their size is very remarkable. The buds alone allow for 8 hours of play if you don’t use the case to recharge it. And of course it goes without saying, the case charges the earbuds. So I ride motorcycles whenever I can. As a Harley fan, I like my loud pipes but I am aware it is not the best for my hearing. And on top of that, like to listen to my tunes while I ride. Some of my friends use earplugs to protect their hearing, which is great if that is your thing. These earbuds to a great job of plugging my ears enough that it helps block out the loud notices, but I can listen to my tunes. However, most of the time I will only use one at a time, because they really block out sound. For me, I like to hear what is going on around me (horns, sirens, etc), and I cannot hear that sort of thing with them both in. They REALLY cancel out sound. BUT, in other situations this is just the sort of thing you want to cancel out all the noises around you and I know they could be put to good use in that respect. So, how do they sound? The sound good. They don’t sound amazing or great. But they don’t sound fair. They are good and you get what you are paying for in that respect. You cannot do too much adjustment to the sound, but they do have three options. The standard or “signature” mode is their balanced default setting. It is not bad, but lacks bass and depth in your highs. Bass booster is my preference, and although the highs and mids get overlooked a bit, the bass increase goes better with my preference in music. Then the podcast mode is for spoken word. I have not tried that one yet, but I have tried it in their signature mode and it was great for me. I do really like them for phone calls when my kids are playing in the house. I get that isolation I need to focus on the call and they block out my four year old that can spontaiously break into a song at any given second whenever the moment moves her. When you take a look at the whole picture here, you are really getting a lot for your price point. If your like earbuds that cancel out noise, and you more on the thrifty side these are a winner. If you don’t like wearing earplugs, you may still like these given the comfort of the soft rubber (or silicone, I am not sure of the material they are made of) tips are pretty comfortable. I have not worn them for more than about two hours, but they were comfortable that whole time for me. I would definitely recommend these earbuds and I will say it one last time. You are getting much more than what you are paying for, and you cannot go wrong with that.

      Thanks for sharing your experience. I would like to present our deepest apologies for all the inconvenience.

      To fix the issue, here are all the tips you can try:

      - Try a different wall charger and cable to charge the charging case for at least 24 hours no matter if the indicator is on or off (it's best to use a 5V charger).
      - Make sure the wall charger and cable you're using work fine on other devices.
      - Ensure all charging contact pins on the earbuds and charging case are completely clean and dry of sweat and water. You can also use cleaning alcohol for cleaning the contacts. Use a dry cloth to ensure the parts are clean and dry afterward before using.
      - Make sure the earbuds are properly placed in the case and make sure the ear tips are in the right position, sometimes the ear tips may interfere with the connection between the earbuds and the charging case.
      - Delete the pairing records for the earbuds on your device (phone/tablet/etc.) and turn off the Bluetooth.
      - Reset the earbuds: Place the earbuds into the charging case and remain the case open. Press and hold the button on the case for 10 seconds until all the earbud LED indicators flash white 3 times slowly. This confirms that the reset was successful and your earbuds can be connected normally.
      - Use a Q-tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol to gently clean the metal mesh filter under the rubber ear tips. This is best done when sound is playing through your earbuds at max volume.
      - Turn on the Bluetooth on your device again, search for "Life Note E" and pair the device to see if that worked.
      - Try with another device (phone/tablet/etc.) and see if the issue is the same.

      Please feel free to contact us via service@soundcore.com with your order information and problems. We will always be more than happy to help you. soundcore

    These are a great set of earbuds. The sound is very clear and crisp. They don't do the best job of noise cancellation, but what do you really expect at this price point. The earbuds are fairly comfortable and the case has a standard usb connection in the back so its pretty simple to charge and the case also acts as a backup battery for when you're on the go. The only I really don't like about them is that you can't control the volume from the buds themselves. You can always go to the source, but it seems like such an easy thing that could be added that it seems weird they didn't.
