    I really don’t know how Soundcore do things like this, and by this I mean how they offer so much for so much less than the competition. Soundcore continues to knock it out of the park at all price ranges but they may have really outdone themselves this time. Unboxing is simple with a few extra tips, usb cable, paperwork and obviously the buds and case. Exactly what you would expect at this price point. Build quality is the usual soundcore quality. Very sturdy dense plastics are used so you do get any creaking or cracking noises. You also don’t get any flexing of the materials like you can on other buds in this price range. You have full app support which amazing at this price point. I say the Soundcore app is the best app available when it comes to earbuds and headphones and the fact you get full access to its features on these low cost buds blows my mind. The app allows for a real EQ on iOS which is a massive improvement over apples eq profiles. They also have many different sound profiles to suit your needs or you can set the eq to your preference. They also have Hear ID which plays a series of sounds to tune the buds to how you hear things. It works very well. You can also control the ANC and transparency modes with the app… ANC and app support at this price? Yup amazing! Sound on these is really good, plenty of bass but you can also dial that back if you prefer a more shallow sound. They have a good sound stage and punch well above their weight. These might actually be too good for the price. ANC is really good, by far the best at this price point and the same goes with transparency mode. A feature that usually doesn’t make it in buds at this price. Battery is also solid and competes with buds 4 times the price of these. Amazing buds!

    Great Earbuds, Disconnect Needs Work

    The Soundcore Life Note 3i earbuds have both pros and cons regarding their usability, sound, and connectivity through my phone. These earbuds are comfortable and stay in your ears through exercise and music sessions, allowing you to enjoy media anywhere you go. The battery life of these earbuds is also great, lasting me on average about 8-10 hours of constant use, lasting longer if breaks were taken. The case also holds a good charge and fully replenishes the battery life of both earbuds in a short period of time relative to other earbuds I have used in the past. This ensures you won't need to constantly recharge the earbuds which is typically an annoyance I experience with other brands. Connections are also easy and the earbuds link to my phone the moment I take them out of the case. It is convenient and gets you started right when you put them in your ears. My first complaint about this product is with the disconnections. Once you are finished listening to music, putting the earbuds in the case does not immediately cut off the connection, and they stay connected to your phone long after they are put away. This is a major flaw and I hope it can be improved upon in the future because it limits you from using your phone for media or phone calls without having to manually disconnect the earbuds several times until it turns off in the case. Overall, these earbuds are a great budget pair and I definitely would recommend these to anyone, I just hope they resolve the connectivity issues they have had (both iPhone and Android).

    Kinda Basic, yet Awesomely Comfy, Earbuds

    I love Anker products, and own several. I'm always impressed by the audio quality of their earbuds and speakers. These Soundcore Life Note 3i True-Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds are of that same quality. Pairing to my Android phone was flawless . No issues there. The simple quick start guide, with easy-to-follow illustrated steps, made setup fun. There is a Soundcore app. The customization options are pretty basic, but are all they need to be. Sometimes 'less is more.' Occasionally I find these "companion apps" to be far more complicated than they should be, just to be able to use whatever the device may be. Now, I did hear a difference in audio quality between the Ambient Sound settings - 'Normal' 'Noise Cancellation' and 'Transparency Mode'. With many of the other earbuds and headsets I own, it's often hard to tell if there truly is any noticable difference. But not in this case. So I know that I'll definitely be making use of this feature with these Soundcore Life Note earbuds. The compact charging/storage case can be easily tucked into a pocket, purse, or backpack. Once paired to your phone, the earbuds quickly auto-connect when you take them out of their case. I really do enjoy wearing these earbuds. I almost forget they are in my ears. They're honestly that comfortable! I'm also not concerned about them falling out as I move around. So, if you were to go for a light jog, they should stay put just fine. These Anker Soundcore Life Note 3i Earbuds are inexpensive; comparable to other brands of similar earbuds. I heartily recommend!

    Very nice ear buds with lots of adjustment bass

    Very nice ear buds. You can adjust these with the free soundcore app you download from the App Store (I have an iPhone 13pro max) there is all kinds of easy to use adjustments in the app. You can adjust as an EQ or use some of the pre sets. Then you can turn on or off the noise canceling or use transparent so you hear your surroundings. They charge when you put them back in the case and last a very long time. The only thing I have problems with ear buds is they never stay in my ears no matter what tips I use. The charging case is a very nice small size and uses a USB C cable to charge the case. I put the case in my front pocket during my day. The buds fit well and snug in my ears. I just can not believe the bass and noise canceling is with these ear buds. Not just bass but the entire sound eq spectrum is just perfect and fully adjustable with the app, once you adjust them with the app you just use them and your settings stay until you change them with the app. Love the sound and noise canceling, lots of bass if you want it!!!!! Very impressed.

    These earbuds are very good. The sound is great, the bass comes through very well. They are compact, even the charging case. The charging case is small and fits comfortably in a pocket. The battery charges quickly and easily lasts all day. The case holds a charge long enough that you could go days before needing to re-charge. I like to charge each night just to be sure they are ready to go. They fit comfortable in my ears and stay in place. They come with a selection of tips to find the right fit. They are sleek and look very nice. Calls come through clearly and the mics work great. Everyone has been able to hear and understand with no problem. Listening to music in public is not a problem. The noise cancelling works very well but doesn't cancel all sound so you can still hear traffic and other people around you. Connecting these is quick and easy. The app allows you to customize sound settings. I don't think you can go wrong with these earbuds. I'd certainly recommend them to friends and family.

    We got these for my wife who has had at least 3 other pair that she could not get a comfortable or secure fit. These so far have been great for the fit aspect. They stay in her ears without any problems. Sound quality is quite good, app is easy to use. They come with 3 different size tips, case is chargeable with USB-C and charge quite fast. Battery life is as advertised. Call quality is quite good. The only drawbacks are the case does not stay open easily and keeps closing as there is no detent to keep the case open and the touch controls take a little getting used to. Other than that for the price point they are very adequate and nice to use. I have had much more expensive models that did not work near as well as these. Anker makes quality products for the money and I have many of their other products such as bluetooth speakers, cables and wall chargers and I have been satisfied with all the Anker products I have purchased. I would highly recommend these for the price point and the features offered.

    There are so many options out there for earbuds and the quality is all over the place. The Soundcore from Anker is a great entry to the market. A sleek case, comfortable form factor and simple USB plug makes this easy to carry around. The buds are comfortable in the ear and allow for excellent two way audio clarity. I am easily able to get around the 1800 square foot house doing whatever while my phone sits in the kitchen transmitting music. Callers report hearing me without any static or echos. They didn't even know that I was on a set of earbuds. Battery life went on average 7-8 hours per charge and the case was able to offer 3 charges before I plugged it back in. This may change with more use. While definitely not an audiophile, the quality of the music I was listening to was on par with a typical smart speaker. I would suggest the Anker Soundcore earbuds to anyone looking for a budget friendly set that will perform well with Android phones (did not test with Apple) and deliver decent sound quality.

      Here are the tips for you to try:

      - Remove the protective film covering the charging pins on the earbuds.
      - Ensure all charging contact pins on the earbuds and charging case is 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.
      - Reset the earbuds:
      1. Place the earbuds in the charging case and leave the case open.
      2. Press and hold the button on the case for 10 seconds until the LED indicator on the charging case flashes red 3 times. Then wait for 4 seconds until the LED indicator rapidly flashes white. This confirms that the reset was successful and your earbuds can be connected normally.

    Way better than expected.

    I bought these because I needed something quick for a short notice trip and didn't want to spend a lot of money since I didn't expect to use them that often after said trip. My expectations were pretty low, but I was very impressed with these earbuds. On one leg of my trip, I was sat directly next to the aircraft engine on the side of the aircraft and the ANC on these earbuds was a sanity saver. To be clear ANC on these doesn't cut out all sound completely. If not playing anything I could still hear things like Airport announcements albeit they were much quieter. However, they do very well with things like crowds of people talking or sounds on an airplane. Once I start playing music I don't hear anything even at low volume. I'm no audiophile so I can't comment on the quality of sound except that I did encounter any distorted or muffled audio at any point. They get plenty loud to where I had no trouble listening to them on a plane and in an airport. The phone app has an EQ. I tried a few of the EQ options but ended up leaving it on the "soundcore Signature" option with bassUp turned off. As I said, I had really low expectations for $69 ANC earbuds, but I ended up being thoroughly impressed with them. If you're looking for ANC and good sound, but don't want to spend a bunch of money, you can't go wrong with these.

    Review for Soundcore - Life Note 3i - Black: The Life Note 3i earbuds are very comfortable and provide excellent music reproduction. The Soundcore app makes it easy to adjust the equalization settings. You can choose from a number of presets like electronic, pop, rock, etc. or you can create your own custom equalization settings and name them. I like that the buds have real buttons on them to click once or twice or to hold for achieving different functions. Most buds have their touch functions built in, but the Life Note buds let you customize these functions. This makes it easy to match the functions on other buds you may have and have grown use to, or just set them the way that feels more natural to you. For example, the buds are preset to take one click for volume up (on the right) or one click for volume down (on the left) whereas a double click is used to play or pause. This is fine if you like these settings, but I like to reverse them so that play and pause is a single click. The fit for the buds are customizable with three sizes of silicone ear cups that make them fit very nicely and help them to stay in your ears. It’s easy to toggle the noise cancelling function on or off or you can use the the app to choose transparency mode if you want to listen to tunes and still have some awareness of your surroundings.

    These headphones have good sound. They were easy to connect to my iPhone, once you find the pairing button which is well hidden on the case. I had to download the Soundcore app to utilize the noise cancelling function of the headphones and some of the other functionality of the headphones. This was one of the reasons for the 4 stars instead of five star in the review. They are pretty sleek looking. I found that as I was exercising, the more I would sweat, these headphones would slip out of my ears. Thought maybe I needed one of the other sizes of tips and tried them and still had the same issue, think it is a just a design flaw. For normal, everyday use though this would not be an issue. When I wear them just walking or wear one while driving there is no issue. The sound the buds produce is surprisingly clear and crisp. Another reason for the 4 star instead of 5 star review is that unit only comes with a very short cord not a charger so you have to charge the unit with a computer. It is not Qi charger compatible.
