Anker Soundcore - R50i

"The R50i NC has a pretty good noise cancelling feature. it cancels out most noises, most especially the low and deep noises such as traffic. ... voices and conversations are ALMOST muted, if you're not listening to music and basically just using these as earplugs, you can still kinda hear people talk but you won't understand a lick of what theyre saying unless you're face to face. It kinda sounds like pressing a thick pillow over people's faces when they're talking. ... it works for me, especially since once you play music along with ANC, you won't be able to hear any of those little things that penetrate the ANC aside from ambulances and annoying fucking alarms playing on very loud speakers from your brother's PC"

"the ANC and transparency mode (plus customisable controls!!!) are a match made in heaven."

"superb noise cancellation ... Napaka effective ng NC feature nito"

"they're very light and stay well in my ears. ... I use it literally 18 hours or more a day and I can personally say, they don't hurt my earholes. ... I don't experience "occlusion" with this. ... yeah i don't have that with the R50i NC ... I took a nap with them on this morning actually, i woke up three hours later because the alarm from my laptop went off and was playing on the earbuds. They stayed on even after a 3 hour nap in bed, lying down."

"Fit really well and are comfortable even after 3-4 hrs no irritation and the buds are very light, so no fatigue and stuff."

"I've never had more comfortable and *actually useful* earbuds such as these."

"Long-lasting! Swear! Hahaha. Halos everyday ko siyang gamit and once a week ko lang siya need i-charge"

"Ok it's great I had them playing for more than 6 hrs with ANC and they didn't die ... Soundcore says about 10hrs and I think it's pretty true you can at least get 8 hrs without ANC and with ANC I reckon at least 7 hrs. ... The case can charge UpTo 3 times and combined Anker says 40 hrs of play time which I think is pretty accurate."

"I use them constantly from 7am to 12 midnight (only music but ANC is on and volume is full blast) and I only had to charge once when it was at 20% and it took about 15 to maybe 20 minutes to full charge. ... So safe to say I think 10 hours of listening as advertised is true"

"Honestly, my Sony wf-1000xm3 were not worth the 10x cost over these."

"I chose r50i nc because of its lower price ... r50i nc is really great for its price."

"And for the price, I could say that it is value for money."

"Out of the box, the bass is really good, though the mids are a bit (i dont know the right word) muddy or flat or just down there somewhere waiting to be let out. this is where the EQ comes in. ... After I fiddled around with the EQ settings on the app, that's when I finally understood what the youtube reviews meant by "the mids opening up" and other stuff ... I was listening to The Red Clay Strays and was not quite satisfied with the way their music sounded so I tried the "Piano" EQ setting, and holy fuck it's like the mids that i was talking about broke out of their cage and colors started flying. The best way I could describe it is that the vocals and instrumentals became more detailed and colorful as opposed to just being a dull and flat board hitting you in the ears."

"It's really really really good. ... I think I can confidently say that these will fit anyone and everyone's taste in music, but ONLY because it's soundcore and their app let's you choose EQ settings that would fit your taste. ... Literally each one of the genres I listed sound amazing and most importantly IMMERSIVE when paired with the right EQ ... I feel like the R50i NC (or maybe soundcore in general, idk) has an incredibly versatile range when it comes to sound quality ... For any and I feel like all kinds of audio, you can get what you want with the right EQ setting (preset or custom, whichever you like), even binaural beats which are these pretentious yoga droning noises that i listen to when i can't sleep, they end up being a spiritual experience."

"I think this is the highlighting feature the Soundcore app is great, a very good equalizer and plenty of presets are available. ... you can adjust the already given presets. ... you can adjust controls to how you like and you can adjust them individually for each bud. ... There are levels for the ANC like adaptive and you can also adjust it manually from 1-5. ... There is also wind reduction and it works most of the time."
