"Anker A3i are on the cheaper side and work perfectly."
"I used these since they are so cheap for a long time."
"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."

"I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day"
"I use them a lot too (albeit one bud at a time) and the battery life is still phenomenal."
"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."

r/Earbuds • Which earbuds would be the current "best bang for buck"? ->Yessir. Almost 4 months and still going strong. I use them a lot too (albeit one bud at a time) and the battery life is still phenomenal.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds would be the current "best bang for buck"? ->I daily drive the Space A40's for gym, music and phone calls. I use the Life A3i's at work (physical button), and the P10 VR's for PS5. Soundcore for the win 🤘😎🤙
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds to buy 2025 ->I really liked soundcore a3i, gone anker after hearing they make quality stuff, 6 months in left earbud broke, got it exchanged, another 6 months again the left earbud broke, just weird high pitched sounds with no music volume, i didn't drop them or such, just wake up to find them not working when leaving house both times, so, not sure if they do make that quality stuff, at least from first hand experience, tho the earphone itself was great.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->Anker A3i are on the cheaper side and work perfectly. I accidentally lost them so my lovely partner is letting me borrow their Jabra Elite 4 Active and those are alright. Good but not as good. I don't like that the quietest setting still feels so loud but for noise cancelling they're good
r/aspergirls • What's the best noise cancelling headphones you have tried? ->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? ->SoundCore anker A3i earbuds are the first inner earbuds I ever used and they are fantastic. Great price and great product. I have to catch a bus through a really shitty area of London every day so there are a LOT of phone wankers that play their vid chats for everyone to participate in. When I play Metal I can't hear them. I don't play my audiobooks on them because I only listen to audiobooks at home on my SoundCore anker mini speaker which is absolutely great. When I have my buds in I don't feel like murdering anyone as much👍
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->Soundcore Life A3i, Life A2 NC, and if you can still find them the Liberty Air 2 Pro. These are somewhat dated, but the sound quality is still some of the very best imo.
r/Earbuds • Exposing the Truth About Wireless Earbuds: Hype, Price, and Real Value ->As I was reading this, I was thinking "Tozo NC7," and then I got to the end. Alternatives could include the Soundcore Space A40, p40i, Life A2 NC, and Life A3i, along with the Tozo NC9 (there are many variations of these), Jlab jbuds Air Pro for starters. These are all earbuds that I have used personally and can vouch for.
r/Earbuds • Best $50 earbuds with transparency mode ->I really love my A3i earbuds but they look like they may have been discontinued? I also have the Space Q45 headphones but I find the noise cancelling on them is worse - I had to stop wearing them anyways when I got an industrial piercing lol. My boyfriend (who is more sound sensitive than me) likes both just fine fwiw. Battery life on both is insane.
r/evilautism • DO NOT BUY JBL BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES ->Thanks for the tip. Just ordered a pair
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds would be the current "best bang for buck"? ->I have these earbuds and I absolutely hate them. The pass through capability is redundant when you can just use bluetooth. After I charge through the dongle and pull it out, the dongle pops off with it. I don't want a dongle attached to my usb c charger all the time. Above all else, the sound quality is just average. There is nothing special targeted toward VR or anything. It's just marketing. No expanded sound stage or ambient focus. I ended up using the Soundcore a3i's instead. They punch above their weight and sound way better. Plus they are more comfortable.
