Anker Soundcore - Life P3i

I have the Soundcore Life P3i earbuds. Very comfy, last all day, good noise cancelling, and it has a feature where is pipes in ambient noise that you can adjust the volume to your liking! For me, the noise cancelling all but mutes the HVAC and other noises around the office, so much so it’s like stepping into a sound booth!

Soundcore Anker Life P2 (not the Mini version) if you can still find them. I prefer these ones while wearing gloves because the button is pretty large, good tactile feedback, and the longer stem makes it easier to grab with gloves. Edit: realized you said ANC. For that, I use the Soundcore Life P3i Hybrid. Smaller in size, and physical button is smaller, so they are a bit harder to handle with gloves. 

They are both physical buttons that have to click in and out. No touch functionality. The P3i looks like there are no buttons in the photos, but they do have them. P2 is easy to see the large round button.

Coming from someone with horrible misophonia and who has tried nearly every noise cancelling earbud on the market: If you're on a budget: Soundcore life p3i. The battery life is amazing!! The noise cancellation depending on the environment ranges from 8-8.5/10 at around mid volume imo. They stay in my ear pretty well, even while I'm eating or talking. Call quality is not good and you will need to disconnect. If you don't want people to see you're wearing earbuds: Jabra elite 10 gen 2. My hair covers them well. On many days I'll wear them under an elastic headband and it is undetectable. Battery life is only about 6 hours :/ Noise cancelling is about 7/10 at mid volume for me so I often find myself raising the volume higher than I normally would prefer to to compensate. If you can splurge: Sony WF-1000XM5. The battery is better than my Jabras but not as good as my soundcore. But the noise cancelling... Chef's kiss. Whoever designed these earbuds deserves a raise. I'd say in most situations they're a 9-9.5/10 at mid volume but easily become 10/10 if I need them to buy just raising the volume a bit more. I will say, they are a bit on the heavier side and will loosen or fall out while talking a lot or eating. They can make my ears sore after about 4-5+ hours of wear. I keep these three in rotation throughout the day, but most frequently will reach for my soundcores because it's a safe choice. But when I was working, I NEEDED my Jabras with me at all times. Sonys are great for sleep for me especially since my partner snores/breathes loudly.

I used to stick to the soundcore life p3 as their price was within $60-100 canadian depending on sales, while also lasting, with high enough audio quality for my music, plenty of features, acceptable battery life, more durable, and even as a bonus had nice appearances, yet both my curiosities and this model not selling anywhere else I'd look any longer; has me looking for different suggestions. I've tried the soundcore life p3i, and as it came close, I did not appreciate the functions as much, and more importantly the quality was actually not as nice comparing to a remaining 2 year old pair of p3 I still owned.

Soundcore P3i and P20i. Good buy, good battery life, effective noise cancellation, app works well on iPhone. Inexpensive enough that there are no tears or rending of clothes if you lose one

I hate that most ANC earbuds today come with those crappy touch "buttons" when im at work, i use gloves so i cant use the touch function. and its annoying when people are trying to talk to me and i cant pause my music. when i use regular earbuds with clickable buttons and my hands are busy, i can usually use my shoulder to tap the button and pause and unpause my music without a second thought. but I just cant find ANC eabuds that have physical buttons anymore. do any of you know any that you can recommend? even if it is an old model from 2019 i can look it up on ebay or mercari. EDIT: A BIT MORE SPECIFIC INFO I need a pair of earbuds with a physical button that i can press by mushing it with my shoulders , since the gloves that i use are thick and i cant take them off every time i need to press the earbuds. I currently use some cheap earbuds with large physical buttons and i can use my shoulder to click the button without an issue. but these headphones do not have ANC, so i am trying to upgrade to a similar set that aditionally has ANC because my work environment is very loud.

yeah, but that wont work for me, i need a large button that i can mush with my shoulder,. the thing is i wear thick gloves, i cant use it while having the gloves on.

Hi, i Actually did find some earbuds with physical buttons that work for my case scenario but arent 100% what i was looking for. as far as price, i totally get you, price was a big concern for me, specially since i need at least 2 pairs so that one can be charging while the other one is in use. so the ones that i found meet my price criteria, which was no more than $40USD. I found these [sony](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYPFNW6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) and [jabra](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTZKP1TP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), which are above that price, but which i manage to find used on amazon, for 32 bucks for the jabra, and used on mercari, for 32 bucks for the sony. they have a physical button which might be hard for you to reach on the jabras, given that it is a flat button. but on the sony's it is a bit more round so it sticks out more, also the sony's have a great sound quality (albeit some connection issues) both earbuds have app suppor with equilizer. both have a small case. if you lose them regularly, i recommend going with a pair of sonys, that way you can carry one single case, that charges both sets, you can wear a set, have the other charging, then swap them. just make sure to label them with a metallic marker, or a knife ( i put a tiny white sticker on them to label them) if you cant find them fore the right price, just be patient you'll find a set for around 30-35 bucks. if you look on amazon, ive seen the jabras for 32 but have only seend them in the mid 40s since then. the sonys dont go below 50 used on amazon, but both brands can be found on mercari for 30 to 40 regularly.

Ok, i got them and tested them in-field. here is what i found out: So these are the ONLY earbud recommendations that literally CLICKED ALL THE BOXES i was looking for. they have ANC they have a clickable button that i can mush with my shoulder they are affordable, at a retail price of 35 bucks. then, they have extras that I also like \- they are sold on amazon, so easy returns \- they have great sound \- they have an app \- you can customize the button controls in app. \- you can control equalizer in app. so, out of all the ones that i found, your recommendation was the only one to literally click ALL the boxes. but for my specific case scenario, both the [**Sony WF-C700N**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYPFNW6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) and [**Jabra Elite 4**](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTZKP1TP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) meet my requirements a lot better. the reason is that both of these have ALL the features of the Soundcore, with the only exception being the price. both of these retail close to 70 bucks. but i have purchased multiple of these units used for 35 bucks. so used, they do meet my price range. but on top of that, these have a wayyy better sound quality (the quality on the soundcores is really good, but these are really, really good) then both of these offer a lot punchier base, but most importantly, both of these have a way stronger Active noise cancellation. If i didnt mess with used headphones, the soundcore would be the best choice for me. but since i dont mind buying used headphones, and dealing with the ocassional dud, and the annoying return process. but thanks for your recommendation, you were the only recommendation to literally check all boxes.

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...

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.

If you need the best ANC you can get under $60 on Amazon, the easiest go-to is the Anker Soundcore Life P3. It’s one of the few budget buds where the noise cancelling actually feels noticeable for work, and the controls are touch-based so you won’t have the same “button gets pressed by ear protection” problem like with the Beats. Another decent option in the same price zone is the EarFun Air Pro 2, which also has solid ANC and touch controls, but the Life P3 is usually the more consistent pick overall. Before buying, check the tuning on [audiotones.co](http://audiotones.co) just to make sure the sound signature matches what you like

I use Anker soundcore life p3s, ive had them for over a year and I use them all day in a noisy shop. They have good sound quality, decent noise cancellation, very comfy, and the battery is still going strong. Lasts like 2-3 days on a single charge. They have newer models now too which might be even better.
