"Very comfortable."
"I can comfortably sleep with Soundcore a30i and have pretty small ears. ... Yes I am. I hated the Air Pod Pros 2 on my side- they were not as comfy in the ear and the stems were uncomfortable. The Soundcore P40i were too big to sleep on the side. I ve tried others too. Gone through a lot of buds. ... I think part of what helps the a30i be more comfortable is their rounded shape. They almost look like a jelly belly in shape and size."
"much more comfortable to wear given how it fits into the ear and its lightweight"

"ANC bumps that up to a pretty ludicrous degree for the price... ... It's noticeably superior to the Xiaomi's, and to my XM4's (although in-ears obviously have an advantage in this regard). ... I have no qualms, it effectively isolates me from all the sounds I expect it to like traffic and people talking and other stuff like that. ... The noise cancelling is exceptional for that price."
"When the A30i went down to ludicrously cheap ($50NZD in my currency, like $30USD I think) I decided to jump on them ... Basically I think they're a no brainer at that price if noise cancelling is your priority, if they go back to the normal price they're still a good option but worth considering others."

"So these are bassy, trebly, and not much else. ... to me they sound thin and harsh with an overly recessed midrange ... Also while the bass is plenty thumpy, it doesn't extend very low.

"Will give you the identical features with slightly less noise canceling ability."
If you have Amazon prime, watch for a sale on Soundcore a30i. Very small and I find comfy to sleep in (even on my side). I picked up a pair when they went on sale for $15
r/Earbuds • Looking for Budget-Friendly Sleeping Earbuds ->I can comfortably sleep with Soundcore a30i and have pretty small ears. Worth a try! I only paid $15 on Amazon for mine.
r/Earbuds • Cheap earbuds for side sleeping? ->Yes I am. I hated the Air Pod Pros 2 on my side- they were not as comfy in the ear and the stems were uncomfortable. The Soundcore P40i were too big to sleep on the side. I’ve tried others too. Gone through a lot of buds. I think part of what helps the a30i be more comfortable is their rounded shape. They almost look like a jelly belly in shape and size. The Soundcore app is nice too. The shape of the case interesting and I like how little space it takes in my bag.
r/Earbuds • Cheap earbuds for side sleeping? ->Just got my a30i for around 12$ A steal tbh
r/Earbuds • Soundcore A30i by Anker, Smart Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Lipstick-Shaped vs skull candy dime evo ->Right now i use Soundcore A30i with my P9
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->i have the Soundcores and i think they are pretty good.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->Anker Soundcore P40i are great and often go on sale for around $40-50 US. Dual connections, good ANC, customizable EQ, companion app for extra features - very good reviews. I have a pair and swear by them - they're my daily drivers and my workout earbuds. They also come with a good charging case and 4 sets of rubber earbuds at different sizes; battery life is great - very good choice in my view. Less expensive alternative - Anker Soundcore P30i - almost all the same features, including multipoint connections. Just a little cheaper.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Looking for the best Budget wireless Earbuds/Headphones with decent ANC, good Bass and Multi-point Connections. Budget sub $50. ->This really demonstrates how important fit is and how the "best" earphones in the world might not be best for everyone's ears. I recently got the Soundcore A30i and I've never used earphones which fit so well. But they won't be the best for everyone because everyone has different ears.
r/Earbuds • Technics AZ100 have phenomenal audio quality but the earbuds hurt my ears. Any recommendations ->Been looking for earphones to replace my Xiaomi Buds 3 Pro for a bit, mainly due to issues with fit and noise cancelling (it's pretty good, but could be better). The Soundcore range interested me due to the apparent focus on noise cancelling at decent prices. When the A30i went down to ludicrously cheap ($50NZD in my currency, like $30USD I think) I decided to jump on them despite the lack of decent reviews online (sidenote: why is RTINGS the only place on the internet to get actual objective reviews which focus on the stuff that actually matters? I don't give a shit how many EQ options the app has...) So now they've arrived and I've been using them for a couple of days I thought I'd post something for other people looking at making that same purchase. **Fit/Comfort** These are really tiny and slot very nicely into the concha (had to look that up). Could be usable for sleeping buds even. Unusually they only come with two tip sizes, but I think they can get away with that because the size and weight which makes them forgiving in terms of fit. I was able to get a good seal with the normal tips with no effort. Where my old Xiaomi Buds 3 Pro's always felt a bit loose, these feel very secure despite not inserting very deeply, and are very comfortable. This of course has a positive flow on effect for sound and noise cancelling: no matter how good canalphones or IEMs are if the fit is bad they won't perform well. **Sound** This is my first experience with Soundcore and it sounds like they have a "house sound" which is basically very V shaped. So these are bassy, trebly, and not much else. To some that will mean they sound "clear" but to me they sound thin and harsh with an overly recessed midrange... Switching between these and the Xiaomi Buds 3 Pro, the Xiaomi's sound much warmer with more body in the mids. For me I prefer that more neutral sound (the Xiaomi's also aren't particularly neutral, just not super hyped). Also while the bass is plenty thumpy, it doesn't extend very low. Same goes for the treble: they sound bright but the brightness is mostly in what sounds like the upper mids. Overall this leads to a somewhat "fatiguing" sound signature. To be clear they don't sound bad and I'm sure this sound signature probably appeals to a lot of people, it's just not to my preference. Also though it might not matter much because... **Isolation and ANC** The fit is so effortless, even without ANC they're already doing a good job of isolating you from the world. ANC bumps that up to a pretty ludicrous degree for the price... It's noticeably superior to the Xiaomi's, and to my XM4's (although in-ears obviously have an advantage in this regard). I have no qualms, it effectively isolates me from all the sounds I expect it to like traffic and people talking and other stuff like that. So because of this I'm kind of okay with sound that isn't exactly what I prefer, it's still enjoyable and listenable. **Other stuff** These support Bluetooth 5.4 and multipair. Battery life isn't great, probably because they're so small, but it's good enough for my usage (good 6 hours or so per charge). The case is kinda weird but also kinda neat? It slides up. Touch controls universally suck and luckily the app lets you disable them entirely. **Conclusion** My favourite thing about these is their size, which might seem insignificant but it really makes for a great overall experience when the fit is so effortlessly comfortable. The noise cancelling is exceptional for that price. The sound is fine but not amazing. Basically I think they're a no brainer at that price if noise cancelling is your priority, if they go back to the normal price they're still a good option but worth considering others.
r/Earbuds • Soundcore A30i are insanely discounted so I got some and these are my impressions ->Great deal! The Soundcore A30i by Anker offer solid sound, a customizable EQ, and a gaming mode for low latency. The case is a bit unique, but they’re comfy, lightweight, and have ANC. Definitely worth checking out.
r/Earbuds • Can i find good earbuds under 25-30 dollars? ->The Anker A30i is only $20 with the coupon on Amazon. I also use them for the same reason under muffs while doing yard work. Work great. Ones with stems don’t work well under muffs, due to the stem sticking down.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->Bought it 2days ago when it is down to $15. Used it for one day and ordered another pair for my wife. Sound quality is definitely not as good as AirPod Pro. But it is much more comfortable to wear given how it fits into the ear and its lightweight.. and it's 10% of the AirPod Pro price!!
r/Earbuds • Soundcore A30i are insanely discounted so I got some and these are my impressions ->These are a good bang for the buck. I guess the unusual case didn't sell well because they sound much better than I expected and have lots of features. Small so not an all-day charge. Very comfortable.

r/Earbuds • Best budget wireless earbuds – any recommendations? ->This is a bargain price for the sound and features you get. The unusual case hasn't sold well sou they're heavily discounted. Comfortable with a good app to EQ the hell out of them. Gaming mode for latency. Battery charge on the shorter side.

r/Earbuds • Can i find good earbuds under 25-30 dollars? ->Soundcore has good customer support that answers their phone. They replaced a pair for me that had ended up in the wash. Quality control is an industry wide problem. Most important is how the manufacturer handles the issues. Good return options are critical for me. Just got my first Jlabs. The JBuds open sport. Haven't opened them yet.
r/Earbuds • Can i find good earbuds under 25-30 dollars? -># 50% off = $20 at Amazon today. Great sound for the price.

r/Earbuds • What are the best cheap wireless earbuds? ->These stemless buds have been heavily discounted due to the unconventional case. Loaded with features and quality sound for now under $20. Really comfortable. Here's a rather detailed review you can zip through. [Soundcore By Anker A30i review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGRZfg22suA&ab_channel=TheIanWestNetwork)
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds under 30$ from Amazon Prime day? ->Check out the Soundcore a30i. Small and good for sleeping. Loads of features and really good sounding. Made to sell for much more but down to about $20. Probably because the unusual case isn't too popular.

r/Earbuds • Cheap low profile earbuds for sleeping? ->Soundcore A30i. Can confirm sound quality is great and also has great ANC.
r/Earbuds • What wireless earbuds do you recommend for 50$ ->Soundcore A30i is a decent option. Great sound and great ANC.
r/Earbuds • What are the best budget active noise canceling earbuds currently available. ->Soundcore A30i has great audio quality and ANC but the mic for calls is mid and the battery life with the case is still low at around 26h as compared to other buds but it's totally worth the price.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->Soundcore A30i for around €40. Great sound quality.
r/Earbuds • Best quality cheap earbuds ? ->Just bought the today for $42. Been messing with the app and sound for too long but got them dialed in pretty good. Idk how much I like yet but I like them enough already that they've shown me to never spend much more than $40-$50 ever again.
r/Earbuds • Soundcore A30i are insanely discounted so I got some and these are my impressions ->Mine don't seem to charge right.. I'm already looking for a different brand.
r/Earbuds • Soundcore A30i are insanely discounted so I got some and these are my impressions ->Hasn't been a huge deal. I don't wear them for more than a few hours at the most. The right one has gone dead on me twice within a few hours after charging all night though. They sound good.
r/Earbuds • Soundcore A30i are insanely discounted so I got some and these are my impressions ->What sort of quality issues? I didn't experience any when I had em
r/Earbuds • Best noise cancelling earbuds under $50 usd? ->Pixel pro 2, most comfortable earbud from my collection Bose QC ultra best NC from my collection A30i soundcore best value for cheap price A40 subscribe, good all around for a budget Past model that went to recycling were Sony x...3 and Jabra. 7 ( don't recall exact model but I won't my earbuds from either. I love their headphones though)
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for "Everything"? ->Jlab go air pop, or jlab mini buds Or you could go for sleep buds: Anker A20 which actually sounds decent (better sounding than jlab too imo). They also just announced A30 which will have ANC. I also like Linkbuds S - best sounding but biggest of the bunch, but it’s got flat profile that makes it usable in bed
r/Earbuds • soundcore a40s too big for me to lay my head down comfortably. what are smaller options? ->Samsung Buds 2 Pro are the only pair I have used off that list. They dropped the feature that would let the user adjust the ambient level between the pro and pro 2 which is a bummer but otherwise they have worked well for me. I use the soundcore 30i most of the time at work now. They are pretty dope but outside the sun will cause button presses accidentally. Thanks for the list.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended wireless earbuds in the past year ->I got the anc model and does the job pretty well tbh. Given the price
r/askSouthAfrica • Good earbuds for under R1000 that last long? ->I was honestly surprised by anker soundcore. My wife stole my Buds live so I got her soundcore. They are surprisingly good for their price.
r/S22Ultra • Seeking best earbuds for cancelling noise - what is your pick? ->I've had a couple of these and they are pretty good for the money
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->Incorrect. Anker Sound core are a solid choice.
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->I was skeptical about wireless earbud until I got some. I have a cheap anker soundcore set that I use for podcasts, and the Nothing Ear 1 that has amazing sound.
r/MotoG • Which wireless earbuds are you using for the Moto G Stylus, 2024? ->I've tried many brands (beats, Sony, pixel buds, akg, master and dynamic$$) and I've finally settled on the. Anker Soundcore for me. I use the p40i with the Comply foam tips and I've had no complaints during my calls. Great part is that model of earbud is relatively cheap to stock up on in case you have a habit of misplacing them like I do. My current Pixel is the 8.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds should I use for phone calls? ->I have a cheap pair of Funsound ear buds that I have been wearing everyday for more than 5 years and they still last 6+ hours on a charge and recharge in 30 min in the case. Sadly my $99 Anker Soundcore and $199 Samsung Galaxy buds Pro3 last only a small fraction of that time.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Bluetooth Earbuds (android phone). ->I have the soundcore and they are solid... not sure if they are the best of the 3 but won't disappoint you
r/Earbuds • Which one has the best microphone for call? I don't listen to music much ->I wonder if you just got unlucky with Anker (or I've been lucky)? I've had at least a couple of pairs of their Soundcore earbuds that have worked extremely well for me until I eventually lose them.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for bluetooth earbuds that aren't gonna crap out a month outside of warranty ->Try Anker soundcore range earphone or headphone .they are not that expensive but sound very good and also battery last so long that you can't believe.
r/samsunggalaxy • Earphone recommendations ->[Soundcore by Anker](https://s.shopee.ph/AA33ARqH2p) Sound quality is good. May ANC na rin siya. Also affordable
r/Tech_Philippines • Please recommend me some good wireless earphones ->Anker soundcore. Affordable, great battery life. Excellent adjustable noise canceling.
r/martialarts • Earbuds that stay in my ears when working a heavy bag ->attention quand même avec nothing. J'ai des buds pro et j'ai du échanger déjà deux fois d'écouteurs car celui de droite se déchargé à vitesse grand v. je me retrouvais avec l'écouteur droit à 10% pendant que le gauche avait 70% de charge. Très souvent j'ai aussi un écouteur qui ne se recharge pas quand je le rentre dans le boitier alors que l'autre s'est rechargé à 100%. Je conseillerais perso des écouteurs anker soundcore.
r/france • Meilleurs écouteurs sans fil 100€ ->I got a pair of Soundcore by Anket in Jan. I use them for audiobooks 6-8 hours a day, and have never had a problem with them. Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both. Fast charge. Water resistant, though, not waterproof.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Bluetooth Earbuds (android phone). ->So many commenting Airpods Pro... I have the Pro 2s and Anker Soundcore. Honestly prefer the Soundcore.
r/Earbuds • What is the best ANC buds. I don't care about anything else ->anker sound core best earbuds ever . been using for more than a year now still working as the day i bought them
r/PakGamers • Best earbuds under 6000 rupees ->Anker Soundcore are good
r/oneplus • Best wireless earbuds to go with the oneplus 12? ->Don't waste your money on overpriced earbuds. You know what Sony, apple, Samsung Bose, and seinheiser have in common? They are disgustingly overpriced for a technology that is still going nowhere. The only time you use big brands is over ear. Earfun pro 4 Or Anything from soundcore. Will give you the identical features with slightly less noise canceling ability. Which shocker is the #1 thing I personally couldn't give a crap about as long as it's decent
r/Earbuds • Earbuds recommendation which don't hurt helicis crus ->I have the 4. Outstanding. Gives you better than big brand quality on many ways Anker soundcores are good too
r/Earbuds • Earbuds recommendation which don't hurt helicis crus ->I reallyyyyy love soundcore anker any of them
r/malaysians • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget RM600 below ->Bro its so underrated here. Tried airpod either same or… tak best sangat compared to soundcore 🤣🤣
r/malaysians • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget RM600 below ->Anker soundcore. They’re brilliant for the money. You don’t even need to spend £40. £15/20 and you’ll get a perfectly good pair
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->I've been using Anker Soundcore since January last year. The sound is good, the earbud is affordable and most importantly, I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day
r/Bolehland • Best Earbuds? ->I was using some Anker Soundcore earbuds but they started connecting while inside the case. Now I'm using Nothing Ear (a) and enjoying them.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->Soundcore from Anker. Mura lang pero goods na.
r/AskPH • what's the best wireless headset with good microphone u know? ->Apple 2nd Gen with usb-c have been my favorite. Anker Soundcore has good value. Tozo has best battery life are super loud but have pairing issues or if you have multiple of same model
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds for iPhone? ->Anker Soundcore good value at that cost
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds you can purchase on amazon under $150? ->I’ve been using anker soundcore and they are pretty good. Not sure on the model though. Got them on offer on Amazon.
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->Another vote for Anker Soundcore. Excellent value for money.
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->You guys gotta try earbuds from Soundcore by Anker. Best budget buds I've tried and it performs really well, and has a great sound. Great equaliser too.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended wireless earbuds in the past year ->anker soundcore is good.
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->I like Anker Soundcore Earbuds.
r/ZeroWaste • Can anyone recommend a brand for robust wireless earphones? ->If you're on iOS & Apple ecosystem, I love my airpods. But if you're price conscious or don't care about integration features, Anker/SoundCore has always been reliable for me.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->I bought some random ones off Amazon based on the reviews. They were only £25 so thought I’d take a punt on them not really expecting them to be as good as people were saying. I also have a pair of Anker Soundcore but find the bass too light. Anyway, they are called Btootos and they are absolutely excellent for the money. They are almost as good as AirPods in terms of sound quality. Not quite but for the money I really don’t think it’s worth paying extra for the AirPods, the difference isn’t that big
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->I’ve really enjoyed my anker soundcores.
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->Have you all looked into replacement tips from Spinfit, Sedna, Azla? Those seem like a good option as they carry lots of sizes and fit the ear better than the standard tips. (I don’t own any, I just saw them recommended on another post in the sub. It looks like SS, then S are the smallest sizes. They all have instructions on how to select your size and model). Also on Amazon there are silicone behind the neck straps that you can fit to any earbud while running/working out and later take them off when you don’t need them. I’m still deciding on a lightweight, compact, good-sounding, earbud under $100 and most of all great fitting for running. I have some Anker Soundcore that fall out of my ear easily with any of the included tips. I also have older Jabra Elite (not the active), which are more comfortable but still not great for running..
r/Earbuds • What are the best earbuds for running? ->Is this the Anker Soundcore? Bought one a year ago and had it replaced for 3x already due to pairing issues.
r/Earbuds • A tier tws earbuds with best warranty? Third party insurance? Cost of battery replacement in or out of warranty? ->Sony XM5s are pretty good in terms of isolation but that it ear shape dependent. Sound quality wise, especially for street listening, I'd honestly buy a much cheaper Anker Soundcore or something similar.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Wireless Earbuds Recommendation ->Get the soundcores, fantastic value
r/Earbuds • Please suggest me the best Earbuds in this price range ->My Anker soundcores ($50 miracles) were rock solid until December. Now they cut out all the time at the gym in the high quality mode when it gets busy. It matched the December update and when I started to see the new Apple headset marshmallows show up. Could be Apple interference or Google Standard bluetooth incompetence at this point. Very annoying.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->soundcore anker earphones talaga
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
