I have ANC earbuds for gym and planes. However I have been using soundcore k20i for the ones I carry around. They are similar, but better and cheaper than regular AirPods. I paid $20. They don’t switch easily between devices but are otherwise perfect if you don’t want ones with silicone tips. After 11 months my case wouldn’t stay shut, which in no way impacted their functionality. However, when I emailed support they kindly sent me a new pair. Anker really does have excellent customer service.
r/Earbuds • Cheap earbuds that are not in ear? ->I'm using the Tozo OpenEarRing right now. I really like them. They're about $30 on Amazon right now. My other go-to earbuds are the Tozo T21, and Soundcore K20i
r/Earbuds • Cheap earbuds that are not in ear? ->Soundcore K20i, and Tozo T21 are my go to earbuds in this style. Great value for the price. I also like the Tozo OpenEarRing. I'm using them right now.
r/Earbuds • Earbuds that dont go inside ear canal ->Tozo T21, & Soundcore K20i are my go to earbuds in this style right now. Inexpensive and they sound good. Also, look at the Tozo OpenEarRing. I like them a lot more than I expected to.
r/Earbuds • Any earbuds that are non-in-ear? ->Yes, the build quality surprised me. And they are loud and have deep bass. They also have a low latency game mode that works well but no anc (which is probably their biggest downside).
r/Earbuds • My Airpods are dying (the only lasts about 2 hours) and I need something to replace them. I need something compatible with Android and with NO rubber tips/inserts! ->Soundcore k20i maybe all you need. Inexpensive but decent for casual music listening. I use them for zoom, meetings and calls too. Here are some reviews: [Test: Best $50 Earbuds without Rubber Ear Tips - June 2025](https://www.scarbir.com/guide/cheap-apple-airpods-alternatives)
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds for zoom/teams and calls WITHOUT the silicone tips that go inside your ear ->The SoundPeats Air 3 deluxe HS are still excellent and well priced the last I looked. I have a couple of pair. Currently my favorites are the Air 5. They have better bass and ANC that is somewhat effective for semi in ear. They have released an Air 5 Lite that has no ANC and costs less i haven't tried them. A very good sounding lower priced pair are the Soundcore K20i.
r/Earbuds • Best sounding SEMI IN EAR wireless earbuds?? ->Soundcore k20i are comfortably small and perform well for the price but the Air3 Deluxe HS are superior and continue to be one of my favorites.
r/Earbuds • Small open style wireless earbud recommendations? ->I like the Soundpeats Air5. Haven't tried The Oppo Enco yet. I like the Soundcore k20i in that price range.
r/Earbuds • Trying to find good quality ear buds without the gummy end ->So few even know they exist. I ran a pair through the wash. Soundcore replaced them. I appreciated that.
r/Earbuds • Trying to find good quality ear buds without the gummy end ->depends on the style you like. I can’t stand the earbuds that jam all the way into your ear like ear plugs. I feel like I have zero spatial awareness and I feel like I can hear my heartbeat and every tap against my body echoing into my ears. for semi-in-ear earbuds I have Soundcore K20i and love them. just had a grand time using them to listen to Tomb Mold while grocery shopping. great sound quality. for bang for your buck when it comes to headphones Soundcore seems to be the way to go. I have Q45 over-ear headphones too and they’re great.
r/TechnicalDeathMetal • Best budget earbuds ->K20i are amazing for the price. I've gotten so many people turned onto those since like us they don't like the rubber ends either. I daily K20is and brought 3 pair, one for the gym and one for any other time. Even dropped them in the toilet by mistake let them sit for a week in a bag of rice after a alcohol soak and they still work great.
r/Earbuds • Trying to find good quality ear buds without the gummy end ->If you want it cheap with high quality. The best one I can recommend is [Anker K20i](https://s.shopee.ph/7pfErw3Na8) wireless earphones.
r/Tech_Philippines • Cheap earbuds w/ wireless charging ->Soundcore k20i. I use them daily and have been amazed. For R350 they are an absolute steal. My wife has R50i and they are really good too, if you like the rubber ear bits.
r/askSouthAfrica • Which Bluetooth earphones & headphones would you recommend? ->I have the soundcore k20i cheap earbuds and they do function well mainly for calls because of the mic. Soundpeats Air5 absolutely shit mid range earbuds that don't function well on calls, stuttering bluetooth connection but anc is amazing. Airpods 4th gen ANC, tried the apple ecosystem, that spatial head tracking when connected to 2 devices interrupts the Bluetooth and there's no option to permanently turn it off, haven't fully explored other things about it.
r/Earbuds • Are expensive earbuds worth it? ->Anker soundcore on par or even better than airpods. Daily driver ko pag need magcommute, soundcore r50i pag bet ko in -ear. K20i pag medyo ayaw ko in- ear. Depende sa mood. Airpods for work only coz macbook and madaming zoom meetings.
r/Tech_Philippines • Budget wireless earbuds recommendations? ->+1 dito. Subok na
r/Tech_Philippines • Budget wireless earbuds recommendations? ->Yes kaya ako may r50i and k20i. K20i is regular lang. walang silicon. Nagsisale madalas yang dalawang yang pag may mga 11.11 sale and likes sa lazada
r/Tech_Philippines • Budget wireless earbuds recommendations? ->Take a look at Anker Soundcore lineup, some of them like 20 series can be found with discount and coupons for $10-15.
r/Aliexpress • Any good cheap earbuds on aliexpress? ->I have some Anker Soundcore earpods and they have a lot of audio presets one is for podcasts and works brilliantly for audiobooks. You just select the preset on the app.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->I used these since they are so cheap for a long time. I was bothered by the silicone wing piece constantly sliding off. I upgraded to raycon fitness earbuds. My main issue is comfort and staying in the ear, and I refuse to spend 200 for earbuds.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->yes i got them on sale for $35 and theyre excellent and tbh as good as my last pair- i used to have the soundcore ANC ones before (~$110) but wasnt willing spend as much this time
r/Earbuds • Are the JLab Go Air Pop ANC earbuds even worth it ->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 also have the ones from amazon and I love them so much
r/Costco • Costco Exclusive Soundcore Headphones ->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 have a pair of anker soundcore buds that I’ve been using heavily daily for like 4 ish years now. The battery seems to last nearly as long as it did when new. The sound quality is pretty good for my non technical ears. Had to grab a new pair cause I lost them for a few months but now I have them both and haven’t noticed a decline in the originals at all. I like that they’re decent quality yet affordable to replace.
r/BuyItForLife • Need a reliable pair of earbuds that won't die on me. ->My Anker Soundcores are surprisingly good. No where near as good as the Airpod Pro 2s that they replaced, but better than expected. - they fall out a lot more - the touch controls are finicky But otherwise quite decent.
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->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 ->i have the Soundcores and i think they are pretty good.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->[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 ->just anker soundcore. the best !
r/srilanka • Any reliable Earbuds within 10K to 15K (average ANC) ->For in ear I love my anker sound core. But for battery life, I love my aftershockz conduction. I have an early version. My partner has the fancy waterproof one.
r/BuyItForLife • In ear headphones. Plz help. Tired of replacing constantly. ->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). ->Yeah, I got those for almost 2 years now.
r/Thailand • Mr. DIY wireless earbuds for iPhone ->Long battery life is music to my ears - pun intended! Seriously though, I've had some great experiences with Anker's Soundcore earbuds, they last forever! Have you considered checking those out?
r/Earbuds • Looking for earbuds with long battery life ->soundcore anker earphones talaga
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->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 ->Big fan of the Anker Soundcore line 🤙🏼
r/NewSkaters • earphones/earbuds recommendation? ->Anker soundcore earbuds are legit. $20 on amazon and great quality and app
r/Costco • Costco Exclusive Soundcore Headphones ->I love my Anker Soundcore earbuds.
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->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 ->Battery life (number of charges) goes down a lot if you let the charge go below 20%. I recently bought some Anker Soundcore wireless earbuds and they warn you when the charge gets to 20%. Also, charging to 80% improves battery life but I don't think you can control that as the earbuds will charge automatically when they're in the charging case.
r/BuyItForLife • In ear headphones. Plz help. Tired of replacing constantly. ->If you are on Samsung, any Galaxy buds with be good. Buds 2 pro very well with some Bass emphasis. Buds 3 pro (I have them and love them), might be the best on sound quality. Buds 3 FE great noise cancellation, but missing some features because they are FE, still great. OnePlus buds 4, might be the best overall for the price, no complaints actually for that price. The Huawei are actually pretty good for the price,but like the FE, may miss some features, nothing to worry about. And the Soundcore may be the midd point between all of them, not bad at all, but no the best, the same, no complains at the price.
r/Earbuds • You lost your galaxy buds fe and you want to replace them, what are you getting? ->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 ->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? ->I’m on my second pair and they’re outstanding. Good sound, tight fit, and a price that’s unbeatable
r/PlanetFitnessMembers • Best headphones for the gym ->I try to avoid the speakers, you will put them too loud and damage your hearing. I was very happy with my Jabra elites, but lost them all. Replaced by anker soundcore buds.
r/motorcyclegear • Noise canceling earbuds vs Bluetooth in helmet speaker???? ->Soundcore from Anker. Mura lang pero goods na.
r/AskPH • what's the best wireless headset with good microphone u know? ->go for Anker Soundcore or Moondrop on AliExpress. Both brands give great value for the money, and the prices are way cheaper than local shops.
r/srilanka • Any reliable Earbuds within 10K to 15K (average ANC) ->They make earbuds for sleeping. I have Anker Soundcore but there are others. My Bose are a little too bulky to sleep on an airplane so for long flights I will take the soundcore or I also have the Shokz Open Air that work well too because of how they sit but with Shokz, they aren’t noise canceling because you can still hear noises around you.
r/bose • What are the best headphone to sleep on the plane ? (Economy seat) ->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? ->Have a look at Anker Soundcore. I have their buds and they are quite good for what I paid. They also do over ear with active nose cancelling and transparency mode
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Best wireless earbuds for ~£50 ->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 the best. Fight me!
r/PlanetFitnessMembers • Best headphones for the gym ->anker soundcore is good.
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->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? ->Anker Soundcore via BT. Great value
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->I’ve really enjoyed my anker soundcores.
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->I have Soundcore by Anker. Paid about $40. They are super sweat proof, pretty comfortable,sound decent and hold a charge all day.
r/NewSkaters • earphones/earbuds recommendation? ->Had both and imo the airpods are so much better it's not even close. My anker would regularly have connection glitches when walking through busier areas. They also much more regularly fall out, and ultimately they didn't last very long
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->I've got some jabra elite 7 pro and also several Anker soundcore buds and over ear and never had any issues with any of them across pixel 6a, 7a, 8a and 8 pro.
r/GooglePixel • Earbuds that work with google pixel 7pro ->Buy Anker soundcore buds, they’re available on Lazada. Fraction of the price, just as good, available in white. Very well reviewed and when you inevitably lose one of both or them it’s not the trauma losing an Apple EarPod is.
r/Thailand • Mr. DIY wireless earbuds for iPhone ->Same. No complaints at all. More importantly they fit and stick in my ears which EarPods shaped buds don’t.
r/Thailand • Mr. DIY wireless earbuds for iPhone ->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.
