"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Was ideal because I was in a cabin with 3 screaming babies and ANC + audiobook worked like a CHARM."
"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"10-15 day battery life"
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"the battery lasts 2 weeks, that's with 5 days worth of tracking runs and day to day use. Incredible."

"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down... I felt like I'd gotten my measly 20ish buck worth from them and didn't fault jlab due to the extreme circumstances I used them in daily. ... I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me."
"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"with great deep bass response. ... I have no idea how they achieved this without an airtight seal like other earbuds need."

"Also I would never use them for the gym because I found they were not the most secure."
"3 pro for me don't work properly in heavy weight workouts ... I've lost each ear bud 6 times today while bench press and shoulders training ... hate this smooth surface and form."
"could use neither and sent back ... really hurt my (small) ears"

"constant connectivity issues I experienced. ... The buds would randomly not turn on when taken out of the case, or just one wouldn't turn on, or they wouldn't connect, or sometimes the buds would randomly disconnect/reconnect, or sometimes the buds would disconnect from each other. ... I really wanted to keep them but they were borderline unusable, even after an update."
"Also connection with iPhone has always been terrible. ... Dropped connections, sometimes it just won ’t connect."
"they would constantly disconnect from my s23."

"if it was windy at all the wind interference blowing across the speakers on the open-ear models is terrible and makes it so that you can hardly hear anything"
"the wind noise isn't great at 40 kmh. ... The p40is i picked up aren't super great with it. ... they do rather poor with wind noise at 40+ kmh."
"they don handle wind very well."

"Didn't have enough bass for me"
"DaVinci’s are getting better the more I listen and their bass outguns the FF’s (I like 1dB shy of tinnitus). ... The FF (and not to labour it) also had the advantage of high impedance mode and still came off 2nd best. Give you an example one of my IEM/headphone go to test songs is Last Night by Rivo and with the DD it hits hard."
"While the deuce has nice bass slam, the rest of the sound lacks resolution. Almost to the point of sounding muffled."

"Both of my Coleman Instant tents have holes in the floor after just 2 uses. Both of them leaked water in a moderate storm. ... The Coleman Instant Tent has a known issue with leaks so they sell an additional aftermarket rainfly. ... I have the rainfly. Doesn't even cover the windows.... The windows fill up with water and then the water started dripping right off the keeper for the windows screen...."
"After finishing up a trip this past weekend up in Maine I found out that my new 6 person Coleman tent is not water resistant to rain. ... I always thought Coleman made a decent tent until this past weekend when I found out the hardway with water seeping through every seem of the tent"
"The Go Play 3 attracts major dust. ... I am constantly dusting mine 3-4 times a day. ... If you let the dust pile up on the fabric material its not going to be easy to clean since the speaker isnt waterproof."
Same. Picked up a set from Costco a couple weeks ago. They work awesome. I was using a pair of Anker Life P3s for a while before that, and I found they always shook a little loose while running, I was always fiddling with them. That and they block out ambient sound...
r/beginnerrunning • Which headphones do you use for RUNNING? ->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 am using the EarFun air pro 4 for a year now and they are much better at noice cancelling than my soundcore life p3 and soundcore liberty 2 pro plus, though those are a few years old now…
r/Earbuds • Liberty 5, earfun air pro 4, or oneplus buds 4? ->I haven't used the first or second options specifically but I have used soundcore earbuds in the past and currently have older models - the liberty 2 pro + and the Life P3, though after a few years, the batteries in the cases are starting to go. The earfun, i am using and they work quite well, the noise cancelling is some of the best I have used.
r/Earbuds • I'm confused between three options. Which one would you recommend? ->Try checking amazon renewed, you can get some good deals. I got a set of soundcore life p3 for just over 30 cad, I'm happy with them so far. The p20i that another commenter mentioned are pretty good too and they go on sale for 20-25
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds for under $30 CAD? ->Anker Soundcore P series has absolutely amazing sound and noise cancelling quality for the price. Wait for Prime day sales etc and you’ll often find them for 49% off so some models are literally $50. I’ve seen people post the high end models in this thread - be mindful that you can get the latest base AirPods models (AirPods 4 without ANC) for often $180 bucks or so at JB Hifi when they are doing sales or Amazon price matches.
r/AussieFrugal • Good alternative to Apple Airpods ->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 stand by the Soundcore line from Anker. I have the Life P3s and they're excellent. Will probably upgrade to the new ones soon.
r/pixel_phones • Favorite earbuds or headphones for Pixel users? ->And here I am 100% happy for years using my $20 Amazon anker soundcores haha. Is there something wrong with me...
r/dataisbeautiful • I analyzed 1 year of wireless earbuds recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025). These are the top 25 (r/Earbuds vs all subreddits) ->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? ->Anker soundcore’s used to be my go-to’s when my AirPods weren’t available, but they are horribly priced now - like more than AirPods. Maybe Amazon or someone else will have them at a better price than direct. I have also had good experience with a pair of Sony earbuds I gave to my daughter. The noise cancelling is superb because we have to throw stuff at her to get her attention.
r/LinusTechTips • What earbud would you recommend for under $70 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
