Soundcore A1. IPX7 Solid fit. Good bass. Cheap. They don't have noise cancelling tho..
r/Earbuds • Best Gym 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? ->Soundcore Life A1. I had a previous version of them that I used daily until they would no longer hold a charge. About $50. My current ones were on sale for $35 when I got the.
r/MotoG • Which wireless earbuds are you using for the Moto G Stylus, 2024? ->I've found a small amount of sweat causes my soundcore to break. I'm interested the third pair in 6 months
r/Marathon_Training • Earbuds for running? ->I've just got my new A1s in my ears and you're right they're good. Better than the X10 and x20 maybe. I'll test them on my LSR tomorrow to see how I get on
r/Marathon_Training • Earbuds for running? ->Don't get the Earfuns. They sound good and have great features for the price, but they do not last long. They're poorly built. I got the Anker Sound Core Life A1's and they do the job as long as you use their EQ. Lots of options in the app. No ANC or any of that and they were $49 on Amazon
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for "Everything"? ->I like the Anker LifeA1. Sound quality is decent and the various tips & ear wings make it possible to get a great fit. I like the programmable buttons so i can create a 30s skip with a press (for podcast ads).
r/ultrarunning • What pods/headphones/buds do you use? ->Soundcore A1 has always been solid for me. Integrates with the soundcore app for eq & customising buttons, has wireless charging, battery life is stellar, and they don't fall out during runs bc of the inner earhooks, and they're IPX7. All that for 40 bucks. Can't really go wrong with 'em imo
r/Earbuds • Best ear hook buds for the gym? ->Soundcore Life A1's. They tick a lot of boxes for me. Good sound, comfortable, come with the wings to hold them in, wireless charging, actual clicky buttons instead of touch zones.
r/GooglePixel • What wireless earbuds are you using with your pixel ? ->As an iPhone 14 Pro owner, I had the Soundcore A1 for the past 1.5 years and just ordered the CMF Pro 2 Buds The A1 sound very nice but after my case dropped once it just randomly connects with my phone…mostly at night so when I‘m heading to the gym the next evening they‘re empty and I have to listen to radio music 😂
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds for IPhone? ->Soundcore by Anker. I had the A1's and really liked those but one of them died after 2 years, so I went for the A3i's with noise cancelling. They are absolutely brilliant for the price, the noise cancelling is great and you can easily switch between active and passive mode, which is great on public transport. The only thing is I would say I preferred the fit on the A1's with the little notch that fits into the top of your ear, it made them fit extra securely. I don't think the A3i's are available anymore but the A40's look pretty much the same and are on offer for £45 at the moment in Amazon.
r/AskUK • What are the best wireless earbuds for under £50? ->I use the soundcore life a1 and can absolutely recommend them. They are a bit older but they stay in my ear, sound pretty good and can last a whole day. (And they cost 30€ if on sale) The normal airpods don’t fit me and the airpods pro are just outside of my pricerange.
