028luckyI got mine yesterday so I only had them for less than a day. I agree - one of the best if not the best for earbuds under $50. Nice and comfortable. ANC is not amazing but it is good for the price. I really enjoy the sound so far. Biggest disappointment is the “limited-time free” on translation. Soundcore needs to make it clear that this a free trial not a feature.
alliez34Just got these myself. Love the long battery life and sound quality. Still gathering data on how others hear me while I’m near all the belts, but seems like they can hear me okay Great quality and even better price (paid $46 with tax)
elenafoxxBig fan of the Soundcore p40i and the p31i both you can get refurbished for $40. Both have great noise cancellation. P40i is more bass heavy, longer battery life and the phone case doubles as a stand also comes in cute lavender color and processes outside noise like wind better. The p31i doesn’t have ANC but it’s smaller with a tighter seal and might have better sound for podcasts (less bass and it does have LDAC). If your priority is clear calls on busy and windy streets the p40i is probably your best bet.
Few_Reference_5145Check mo Soundcore R60i NC by Anker. Mahal sa mall mga 1900, so online store nalang ako bumili sakto sale sila at may vouchers ako, I purchased it at 1200. Ito pa lang nakita ko na may LDAC na Active noise cancellation, ginagamit ko sa meetings May app din sila para dun mo iadjust super daming settings ang cool hahaha for example para safe ka sa transpo pwede ko iadjust manually or automatically yung noise cancellation, sakin sakto lang para naririnig ko parin paligid ko, minsan total block yung ingay, talo ang headphones. Lastly, hindi ko naman nagagamit pero may AI translation sya best for travellers. Pero kahit di ko nagagamit yung AI feature, biniki ko pa din because of the LDAC and ANC feature on a cheap price
gmd7749I just got Soundcore P31i which have some great sound for the price. They have ANC but you can just turn it off. But if he needs to hear while baking they also have Transparency mode so sounds that would normally get blocked by the earbud are instead allowed through. Like the opposite of noise cancellation. Would recommend!
If I use the physical button on the phone and the button on the P31i it's instant. Didn't notice the slider until now but seems I have the same issue. Doesn't really apply to my case though since I rarely adjust the volume that way. If I tap the volume bar on the screen like I sometimes do it adjusts instantly. I just can't slide it up and down rapidly. It waits to stop like you said to update, but the moment I stop it's instant.
ironmansuperhero69They are currently on sale in Canada for $135 I got the soundcores for $39
Thank you all for your suggestions I ended up buying these Soundcore P31i I think they are fairly new so here’s hoping they work.
KraegorzSoundcore P31a are a great pricepoit for quality calls and music. If you just want music and cheap look at the Tozo 6 or 9 earbuds. Mic sucks a little more, but still good sound. The CMF are great, but battery life is a lot worse on those.
LoadingSticksFind Soundcore p30i or the latest p31i if you can find one. I'm using these 2and P30i have bassy profile and sometimes too much, good for bassheads. P31i on the other hand excels in clarity, vocals with tight bass removing unwanted bass and it's controlled so it's not Very bassy but it's clean
I have both R50I NC and R60I NC and let me give you a quick sound review: SoundCore R50I NC: It excels in bass, it's very bassy overall even if you tone it down to -3 via the Soundcore app, the mids or vocals are quite decent but it'll be behind bass because the bass is very powerful in this one, the highs or the sparkly trebles is also quite good enough if you Eq'd it on the App. These earbuds are for bass enthusiasts who crave that bassy and booming feeling with quite decent Mids and Good enough trebles SoundCore R60i NC: This one is very interesting, It's still new to me and I have been using it for 4 days, I really noticed at 1st is the Bass, the Bass on this one is tight and stiff, it's not the R50i NC bass that is very boomy or rumbly, this one behaves on the Bass side not Boomy one, it means that you'll hear a tight bass and a very little rumble to it making it a standard choice if you don't like very bassy one, but of course since it doesn't empower the bass all along, the Mids (Vocals) and Trebles (Sparkly sounds) feels more better and clarity is well defined on these ones, you also get an LDAC which you may or may not use if you don't have golden ears or streaming Spotify only, the mids and highs have overall better clarity and resolution than R50i NC. ANC: The R60i NC has a better ANC no doubt, R50i NC is casually good for casual people. Mic: I didn't test them out yet TLDR: Go for R50i NC if you like very bassy sounds. Go for R60i NC if you want a good mids and highs with bass that is sufficient and tight with a good amount of details, soundstage and separation
