    DO NOT BUY. There is no button on the earbuds, it's a sensor, to pause you tap the earbud twice, or so they claim! Using a sensor is an extremely stupid idea! It never works. Takes several tries or I give up. Also, connecting with the Bluetooth on my phone has been weird. Initial setup was normal, but sometimes when I take the earbud out of the case it doesn't automatically connect or it loses connection. I don't want to carry the case around with me and since the earbud itself has no button to turn it on/off and the sensor sucks, when it randomly loses connectivity you're outta luck! Aaaand weirdly some songs are suddenly so quiet. I know it's the earbuds because that never happened with my previous pair. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

    Amazing battery life Easy to pair Fit much better than expected. Charging with case is really quick. 4 plus hours of listening before needing to be charged. Be careful they are small and can get lost very easy. ( ask me how I know) *Con Bass is not as strong as more premium styles but still you will not be disappointed.

    Earbuds work perfectly fine, audio quality is great, but I don’t like that it can’t be turned off. You have to mount back in the case. Making it die if left out

    Solid Ear Buds that don't Irritate my Ears

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Honestly, I hate putting earbuds in my ear canals bc they tend to give me headaches, I guess I'm sensitive. I've been a longtime Bose wired user, and I tried the Wireless Bose ones but they just tend to be expensive and don't last longer than 1 year. I mention Bose bc they don't go in your ear and they always sound great, but are on the pricy side. I have been looking for some solid earbuds that just give me good overall sound quality, bass, and my budget so I got these on BF deal. I have a drawer of full of Samsung, JBL, Beats, Apple's, etc. that I just was never really happy or comfortable with, I got suckered by all of their reviews. These Anker Life Note E buds, don't go directly into my ear canals so they don't bother me. I've had these for a short while now, and they are great, overall usage, quality, charge time, and most of all budget, I like these guys a lot. I'm not saying that these are better than all the other well named brands out there, these guys just worked for me best and I'm very happy using them.

    These earbuds are a great value. They keep their charge for a really long time. They come in a really convenient case that is small enough to be stored anywhere. They stayed in my ears for the most part but I always have issues with that because of the shape of my ear canal. I think the average person would have no issue keeping these in. The sound quality is pretty good. I think the quality is better than most. I tested the distance between my phone and the earbuds and was able to walk around my apartment without losing my connection. The phone calls were a little choppy but people said they could hear me ok. I could hear everyone just fine. Overall I think these would be a good addition to anyone's earbud collection.

    Review for Soundcore - by Anker Life Note E True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black These wireless earbuds work great for phone calls and provide decent musical quality for the price. Their long battery life is above average, as is their warranty period. (18 months! Refreshing!) I especially like the quality of the storage/charging case. It fits neatly in your hand and has an easy, satisfyingly magnetic “click” to let you know the buds have docked properly. Once paired, (also easy!) they turn on when you remove them from the case and off when you replace them. I found the triple-tap needed to select from the three EQ settings a little troublesome; especially because they’re in your ear, but those kinds of things bother me — your mileage may vary… A very affordable alternative to higher priced brands.

    I’ve had these for several days now and I’ve been pretty impressed with the overall package of these ear phones. Don’t let the price scare you away. These are a great bargain. These are very comfortable in my ears and came with several other tips to fit your ears. The battery life is excellent and with the case, you get a total of 40 hours of listening. The charging case is small enough to fit in your front pocket comfortably. Pairing was a simple as pressing a button and they connected easily. You dont get noise canceling but I wouldn’t necessarily expect that at this price point, but they do have some noise reduction and the sound quality is surprisingly good. All in all these are a really good set of ear phones and i would definitely recommend them.

    I was a little skeptical of these at first. I seem to have trouble finding headphones that are comfortable for me. These are pretty good with the different size cushions I was able to get a very good fit and comfort level. The sound is clear, and I seemed to have decent range as my phone was on the charger in a separate room. Set up was very simple but it did take 2 tries for my old iPhone 8 to recognize the headphones. The case is nice as well...it's magnetic so you just have to get them close, and they pop into place. No more dropping them trying to find the right spot. No other issues to report and for the price..as of now...it's 5 stars for me...only time will tell for the reliability and battery life. Anker products have done really well for me over the years so I'm guessing that quality will carry over.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're really sorry you've encountered this issue!

      If possible, please try the following steps to see if the issue persists:
      1. Firstly try to forget the pairing records on your device and turn off the Bluetooth.
      2. 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.
      3. After the reset, take both earbuds out of the charging case to make sure they are successfully paired; you will see the white light flashes quickly on the one earbud and the light flashes slowly on the other side, which means they pair together. 
      4. Turn on the Bluetooth again and search for Soundcore Life Note E and pair. 

      If those don't help, please reach out to us via service@soundcore.com or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973. We are more than happy to assist you further.
