"Over all they’re my favorite pair of wireless earbuds I’ve owned- and I’ve gone through a lot- and for $30 they’ll serve you well."
"They’re brilliant for the money. ... You don’t even need to spend £40. £15/20 and you’ll get a perfectly good pair"
"Anything from soundcore. Will give you the identical features with slightly less noise canceling ability. ... Don't waste your money on overpriced earbuds."

"They are designed for sleeping in so they don't stick out and are comfortable iff you are a side sleeper. ... These are earbuds designed to be slept in and are basically flat in your ear so it's very hard to knock them out. ... I switched to the soundcore A10s and then upgraded to the A20s in May and haven't looked back."
"all night comfortable"
"I use the soundcore Sleep A20 under my Motorcycle Helmet. ... It ’s just about perfect, since it ’s very low profile since it ’s meant to be comfortable for side sleepers."

"all-night battery life"
"Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both."
"The sleep mode not only tracks your sleep, but allows you to customize a soundscape. ... The buds will last about 10-12 hours in sleep mode."

"Honestly, I liked them so much, I just kept my old Google earbuds for music and *only* use the A20s for sleeping."

"Battery life degraded very fast after around 7 months (barely lasted an hour on full charger) of use although anker happily sent out another pair for free"
"they would no longer hold a charge"
"Sadly my $99 Anker Soundcore ... last only a small fraction of that time."
This is interesting as this has not been my experience! I have the sleep A20 earbuds and the p40i and the battery on both of those have been very impressive.
r/Earbuds • Soundcore Aeroclip Short Review. Absolutely love them! ->It has no ANC. Sound is decent. I wouldn't recommend them as your primary buds. Just for sleeping or blocking out noise when you dont want something heavier in your ears
r/Earbuds • Has anyone actually found wireless earbuds that don't hurt for sleeping on your side? ->YMMV but they fall out for me every night no matter what combination of attachments I use. Battery life degraded very fast after around 7 months (barely lasted an hour on full charger) of use although anker happily sent out another pair for free
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for good quality Bluetooth earbuds all around including sleeping. ->The main thing I like about the Soundcore Sleep vs using regular earbuds is they stick entirely into your hears, so you can rest on your side without having your head laying on hard plastic.
r/IAmA • I’m the headphone expert at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. I’ve tested nearly 2,000 pairs of headphones and earbuds. Ask me anything. ->Did you sleep with those? I woke up in the morning with one white earbud lost in my white sheets. They were comfortable, but I couldn't see searching for them every morning so I returned them.
r/IAmA • I’m the headphone expert at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. I’ve tested nearly 2,000 pairs of headphones and earbuds. Ask me anything. ->Anker Soundcore A20s have been just killin' it for me. Will definitely stick with Soundcore.
r/Earbuds • Which earbuds are you using or which do you believe is the best and why? ->JLab Mini are tiny and have ambient mode, though I haven't personally tried it. I do have the Soundcore Sleep A20, and they provide you with silicone tips with holes in it for breathability, but it works well to let in ambient sound too. The A20s are very discrete, but the color doesn't exactly match skin color that well; it's more of a cream gray color. Battery life might be an issue with your 12 hour shift though. I think the best option is to look for a pair of bone conducting glasses (sorry I don't know any). They should look discrete enough, probably more so than earbuds. The bone conduction would mean audio isn't played out loud, and the open ear design lets you hear your boss.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Long shot, but - super discreet earbuds that can't be seen or heard by others and allow some sound in? ->Soundcore Sleep A20. Dedicated sleep earbuds. Not for anything but sleeping or listening to things while you fall asleep. 10h in bluetooth mode, 14h in sleep mode. They just shut off when dead. Case provides up to 80h. They are designed for sleeping in so they don't stick out and are comfortable iff you are a side sleeper. Seriously love mine. I usually watch some of my YouTube shorts I subscribe to and then double tap the left ear bud to switch to my preferred white noise and go to sleep. The ear buds have an app that has a mixer to allow you to mix up your own white noise if you don't like the preset ones. You can also set an alarm. I love love these earbuds. I started with the A10s and bought the A20s as soon as they came out as I wanted the longer battery life. I have very small ears and these fit nicely once I adjusted the tabs. Occasionally I find one under me, but I don't know if it falls out or if I pull it out.
r/IAmA • I’m the headphone expert at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. I’ve tested nearly 2,000 pairs of headphones and earbuds. Ask me anything. ->I love my A20s so much. Have had them since May
r/IAmA • I’m the headphone expert at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. I’ve tested nearly 2,000 pairs of headphones and earbuds. Ask me anything. ->The have had mine since May (just went back and looked when I upgraded to them from the A10s)
r/IAmA • I’m the headphone expert at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. I’ve tested nearly 2,000 pairs of headphones and earbuds. Ask me anything. ->I have the A20s as well. The rubber is super soft. Battery life is 8 hrs max and they are not noise canceling. I don't like their app either. Even with all that I like my A20s.
r/audio • ViSound Drift wireless earbuds - anyone heard of these? ->Just got some Soundcore a20 Sleep buds and they are great even on my side
r/headphones • Headphones or Earbuds for side sleeping with ANC? ->Well, these aren’t in-ear. They sit on the outside of your ear canal. The Soundcore Sleep A20 are much better than these, offer passive isolation, and comfortable for side sleepers.
r/audio • ViSound Drift wireless earbuds - anyone heard of these? ->I used the Soundcore Sleep A10 with my iPhone for a year, and one of them got damaged, so I bought the Sleep A20, which I thought was an improved version. Well, the truth is they are a disaster; they don’t switch to sleep mode automatically when they detect I’m asleep, and they don’t stop the podcast or music that’s playing, like the A10 did. I’ve ordered a new pair of A10s, and the A20s will be left abandoned in a drawer. I’ve never seen a company shoot itself in the foot with a product update like SoundCore did this time.
r/IAmA • I’m the headphone expert at Wirecutter, the New York Times’s product review site. I’ve tested nearly 2,000 pairs of headphones and earbuds. Ask me anything. ->Ankor Soundcore Sleep A20 on Amazon. I use these for sleep and throughout the day sometimes.
r/adhdwomen • Earbuds with noise cancelling for small ears? ->I had those and the Bluetooth kept dropping because my ear was blocking the signal laying on the pillow… 😞
r/audio • ViSound Drift wireless earbuds - anyone heard of these? ->Unfortunately the A20 is too painful for me. Then I got the Ozlo and they are better but I like the features of the A20 better. Neither matches my Bose. They were the best.
r/audio • ViSound Drift wireless earbuds - anyone heard of these? ->I'm currently using the Soundcore sleep A20 earbuds and they work really well for me as a side sleeper
r/audio • ViSound Drift wireless earbuds - anyone heard of these? ->I'm a side sleeper but they work for me and my ears are pretty small, ymmv though
r/audio • ViSound Drift wireless earbuds - anyone heard of these? ->Soundcore Sleep A20 is the only sleep-oriented earbud that checks those boxes. They are fine for music, but they are designed for sleeping. They are incredibly low-profile, so likely won't jut out of your ear. You can sleep on your side. The sleep mode not only tracks your sleep, but allows you to customize a soundscape. The buds will last about 10-12 hours in sleep mode. Both the ear plug and retaining nub (holds the bud in your ear) are really soft and come in multiple sizes. I have yet to have an earbud fall out, which is not true for any other major brand I've used (even while awake). Honestly, I liked them so much, I just kept my old Google earbuds for music and *only* use the A20s for sleeping.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for good quality Bluetooth earbuds all around including sleeping. ->They don’t fall out and yes, super low profile. Can sleep on my side without a problem. Not a fan of the software though.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for good quality Bluetooth earbuds all around including sleeping. ->I use the soundcore Sleep A20 under my Motorcycle Helmet. It’s just about perfect, since it’s very low profile since it’s meant to be comfortable for side sleepers. Only issue is that it does not have ANC. However, the upcoming soundcore Sleep A30 will have ANC, and there are early bird deals right now! Cheers!
r/Earbuds • Looking for low profile earbuds for under a motorcycle helmet ->If you're ear canals are too small like my wife's then they may not be a fit for you either (you can try foam tips that can compress down as well). What she ended up getting were the Soundcore sleep buds that are meant to go deeper in your ear for side sleeping and just using them as regular buds because they can actually fit. They aren't as good as the B3P of course, but they won't matter how good if they don't fit. Another option are those Shokz bone-conduction ones that don't go in your ear and just play from the outside. Great for calls (I have 3 pairs for work, lol) but not as good for musical sound quality obviously since they don't seal up your ear and sit just outside your earholes.
r/galaxybuds • Galaxy buds 3 pro for small ears and ear canals ->My daughter has misophonia so I have a lot of experience here. For everyday use, AirPods are sufficient. Very easy to use and you can still hear a little of what’s going on around you. Sony WX1000M4 for a stronger cancellation. It has the side benefit of signaling to the people around you that you are trying to focus. Sometimes she will use the Sony over the AirPods for complete silence. You didn’t ask for it, but the best purchase by far for us has been the Soundcore sleep earbuds. They are amazing.
r/AutisticWithADHD • What are the real best Active Noise-cancelling Headphones in the market? ->There are ear buds designed for sleeping. I personally use the Anker soundcore a20. There are higher end options out there from bose mentioned elsewhere in this thread. I love mine and cannot sleep without them.
r/Earbuds • Best Noise Canceling Earbuds for Sleep? ->Jlab go air pop, or jlab mini buds Or you could go for sleep buds: Anker A20 which actually sounds decent (better sounding than jlab too imo). They also just announced A30 which will have ANC. I also like Linkbuds S - best sounding but biggest of the bunch, but it’s got flat profile that makes it usable in bed
r/Earbuds • soundcore a40s too big for me to lay my head down comfortably. what are smaller options? ->I haven’t directly compared but I’m pretty sure the a20 is noticeably smaller than the a40 esp given a40 has bigger drivers and ANC. A20 have a rubber cover that makes them more comfy and for reference when I wear them they don’t protrude past my ear at all.
r/Earbuds • soundcore a40s too big for me to lay my head down comfortably. what are smaller options? ->I've tried multiple different ones that were designed for sleep and have had bad luck with all of them for various reasons, the most expensive ones ive tried were Anker A20, I had bad luck with them too and returned them as well, they lost Bluetooth connection when laying one my side, I guess the pillow blocked the Bluetooth signal. Now I just use Pixel buds Pros and they're pretty small and work well enough for me.
r/Earbuds • Cheap low profile earbuds for sleeping? ->Take a look at Anker Soundcore lineup, some of them like 20 series can be found with discount and coupons for $10-15.
r/Aliexpress • Any good cheap earbuds on aliexpress? ->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've had a couple of these and they are pretty good for the money
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->Incorrect. Anker Sound core are a solid choice.
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->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'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? ->I have a cheap pair of Funsound ear buds that I have been wearing everyday for more than 5 years and they still last 6+ hours on a charge and recharge in 30 min in the case. Sadly my $99 Anker Soundcore and $199 Samsung Galaxy buds Pro3 last only a small fraction of that time.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Bluetooth Earbuds (android phone). ->I have the soundcore and they are solid... not sure if they are the best of the 3 but won't disappoint you
r/Earbuds • Which one has the best microphone for call? I don't listen to music much ->I wonder if you just got unlucky with Anker (or I've been lucky)? I've had at least a couple of pairs of their Soundcore earbuds that have worked extremely well for me until I eventually lose them.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for bluetooth earbuds that aren't gonna crap out a month outside of warranty ->Try Anker soundcore range earphone or headphone .they are not that expensive but sound very good and also battery last so long that you can't believe.
r/samsunggalaxy • Earphone recommendations ->i have the Soundcores and i think they are pretty good.
r/Earbuds • Under $100 wireless earbuds? ->[Soundcore by Anker](https://s.shopee.ph/AA33ARqH2p) Sound quality is good. May ANC na rin siya. Also affordable
r/Tech_Philippines • Please recommend me some good wireless earphones ->Anker soundcore. Affordable, great battery life. Excellent adjustable noise canceling.
r/martialarts • Earbuds that stay in my ears when working a heavy bag ->attention quand même avec nothing. J'ai des buds pro et j'ai du échanger déjà deux fois d'écouteurs car celui de droite se déchargé à vitesse grand v. je me retrouvais avec l'écouteur droit à 10% pendant que le gauche avait 70% de charge. Très souvent j'ai aussi un écouteur qui ne se recharge pas quand je le rentre dans le boitier alors que l'autre s'est rechargé à 100%. Je conseillerais perso des écouteurs anker soundcore.
r/france • Meilleurs écouteurs sans fil 100€ ->I got a pair of Soundcore by Anket in Jan. I use them for audiobooks 6-8 hours a day, and have never had a problem with them. Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both. Fast charge. Water resistant, though, not waterproof.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Bluetooth Earbuds (android phone). ->So many commenting Airpods Pro... I have the Pro 2s and Anker Soundcore. Honestly prefer the Soundcore.
r/Earbuds • What is the best ANC buds. I don't care about anything else ->anker sound core best earbuds ever . been using for more than a year now still working as the day i bought them
r/PakGamers • Best earbuds under 6000 rupees ->Anker Soundcore are good
r/oneplus • Best wireless earbuds to go with the oneplus 12? ->Don't waste your money on overpriced earbuds. You know what Sony, apple, Samsung Bose, and seinheiser have in common? They are disgustingly overpriced for a technology that is still going nowhere. The only time you use big brands is over ear. Earfun pro 4 Or Anything from soundcore. Will give you the identical features with slightly less noise canceling ability. Which shocker is the #1 thing I personally couldn't give a crap about as long as it's decent
r/Earbuds • Earbuds recommendation which don't hurt helicis crus ->I have the 4. Outstanding. Gives you better than big brand quality on many ways Anker soundcores are good too
r/Earbuds • Earbuds recommendation which don't hurt helicis crus ->I reallyyyyy love soundcore anker any of them
r/malaysians • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget RM600 below ->Bro its so underrated here. Tried airpod either same or… tak best sangat compared to soundcore 🤣🤣
r/malaysians • Looking for ANC Wireless Earbuds, Budget RM600 below ->Anker soundcore. They’re brilliant for the money. You don’t even need to spend £40. £15/20 and you’ll get a perfectly good pair
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->I've been using Anker Soundcore since January last year. The sound is good, the earbud is affordable and most importantly, I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day
r/Bolehland • Best Earbuds? ->I was using some Anker Soundcore earbuds but they started connecting while inside the case. Now I'm using Nothing Ear (a) and enjoying them.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->Soundcore from Anker. Mura lang pero goods na.
r/AskPH • what's the best wireless headset with good microphone u know? ->Apple 2nd Gen with usb-c have been my favorite. Anker Soundcore has good value. Tozo has best battery life are super loud but have pairing issues or if you have multiple of same model
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds for iPhone? ->Anker Soundcore good value at that cost
r/Earbuds • Best Earbuds you can purchase on amazon under $150? ->I’ve been using anker soundcore and they are pretty good. Not sure on the model though. Got them on offer on Amazon.
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->Another vote for Anker Soundcore. Excellent value for money.
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->You guys gotta try earbuds from Soundcore by Anker. Best budget buds I've tried and it performs really well, and has a great sound. Great equaliser too.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended wireless earbuds in the past year ->anker soundcore is good.
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->I like Anker Soundcore Earbuds.
r/ZeroWaste • Can anyone recommend a brand for robust wireless earphones? ->If you're on iOS & Apple ecosystem, I love my airpods. But if you're price conscious or don't care about integration features, Anker/SoundCore has always been reliable for me.
r/audible • What earbuds do you use? ->I bought some random ones off Amazon based on the reviews. They were only £25 so thought I’d take a punt on them not really expecting them to be as good as people were saying. I also have a pair of Anker Soundcore but find the bass too light. Anyway, they are called Btootos and they are absolutely excellent for the money. They are almost as good as AirPods in terms of sound quality. Not quite but for the money I really don’t think it’s worth paying extra for the AirPods, the difference isn’t that big
r/UKFrugal • best budget earbuds? ->I’ve really enjoyed my anker soundcores.
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->Have you all looked into replacement tips from Spinfit, Sedna, Azla? Those seem like a good option as they carry lots of sizes and fit the ear better than the standard tips. (I don’t own any, I just saw them recommended on another post in the sub. It looks like SS, then S are the smallest sizes. They all have instructions on how to select your size and model). Also on Amazon there are silicone behind the neck straps that you can fit to any earbud while running/working out and later take them off when you don’t need them. I’m still deciding on a lightweight, compact, good-sounding, earbud under $100 and most of all great fitting for running. I have some Anker Soundcore that fall out of my ear easily with any of the included tips. I also have older Jabra Elite (not the active), which are more comfortable but still not great for running..
r/Earbuds • What are the best earbuds for running? ->Is this the Anker Soundcore? Bought one a year ago and had it replaced for 3x already due to pairing issues.
r/Earbuds • A tier tws earbuds with best warranty? Third party insurance? Cost of battery replacement in or out of warranty? ->Sony XM5s are pretty good in terms of isolation but that it ear shape dependent. Sound quality wise, especially for street listening, I'd honestly buy a much cheaper Anker Soundcore or something similar.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Wireless Earbuds Recommendation ->Get the soundcores, fantastic value
r/Earbuds • Please suggest me the best Earbuds in this price range ->My Anker soundcores ($50 miracles) were rock solid until December. Now they cut out all the time at the gym in the high quality mode when it gets busy. It matched the December update and when I started to see the new Apple headset marshmallows show up. Could be Apple interference or Google Standard bluetooth incompetence at this point. Very annoying.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->soundcore anker earphones talaga
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
