Life P2 Mini

Hi, I'm looking for some good ANC headphones for when I'm out and about, but also listening to music at home. I may be autistic, because im desperate to block out peoples voices when in public, creating a seperation from myself, so voice ANC performance would be most important. Over ears are fine if they've got better ANC, but so far all the best budget ANC headphones I can find seems to be earbuds. I'd prefer to spend about £75 but could stretch to £100 I'd prefer flat response with parametric equalizer, but a little bass is ok. Super heavy bass is a bit too overwhelming. Ive currently got Some Anker Soundcore Life p2 mini's, which dont have ANC, and are wearing out. I tried some Sony WF-C710N's but they cut out constantly, and the ANC actually got worse after a firmware update, so I returned them. I'm mostly using my phone (Samsung Galaxy A54) and a Fiio Snowsky Echo Mini as sources I've been looking at - Anker Soundcore Space Q45 over ear headphones - Anker Soundcore Space A40 - Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (reviews say too much bass though?) I'm open to other ideas, but these are rtings.com's best budget choises in various categories, so that's all I've had to go on so far. Thanks for reading ❤️

I use anker soundcore life P2 mini, I also have small ears as well. They’re usually around 30$ on amazon. The battery life is amazing will last all day

Bought the Soundcore P2 and P2 mini about 3 years ago for my wife and I, been using them daily for gym no complaints 👍🏻

I’d definitely take the Soundcore one - I had another model from them (P2 Mini) and it was one of the best earbuds that I got for such a cheap price

Under $60 is tight, but there are actually a few solid options if you keep expectations reasonable. For everyday use + PS5, I’d honestly skip most “gaming” headsets in this price range and go with something more general-purpose. Anker Soundcore Q20 / Q20i is probably your best bet. Good battery life, comfortable for long sessions, decent mic for the price, and you can use them wired with the PS5 controller. They usually go for around $50–60. If you want something smaller, Soundcore Life P2 / P3 earbuds are also pretty solid for bus use and still work fine for gaming in wired mode with the controller. At this budget, wired + Bluetooth combo is the safest way to get something that lasts.

I had a previous set of the life line that died prior to getting my libertys. Had never spent more than 50 or so on a pair of ear buds and was realizing just how much I was wearing them so I decided to go ahead and spend a bit more. I have 0 regrets, absolutely love em.

Go for the soundcore P30i, if you can. Those have great noise cancelling at a budget, as long as you're not expecting Apple or Bose level ANC. Transparency is pretty decent too, but obviously not perfect, as you can expect. You can get 6/10 hours of playback on a single charge (ANC on/off), and 25/45 hours with the case, and ever customize things like touch controls, low-latency Gaming Mode, Multipoint Connection, Custom EQ, etc. in the app! If you can't afford P30i in your country or they're not available, P20i is also a solid choice. No ANC or Transparency, and the build quality is a little bit lighter, but they're not bad at all. You can also get 10 hours of playback from one single charge, and 30 with the case. You can also customize touch controls in the app, change EQs, etc. I personally wouldn't go for the P2 Mini or any soundcore Life earbuds. Those are soundcore's older buds, and with most of them, you can't use the free app to customize them, and there are physical buttons instead of tap controls, which most people don't love. Hope this helped!
