Get the Soundcore V30i open earbuds by Anker and don't look back. I also have small ear canals and had a hard time finding regular earbuds that didn't fall off or tire me out. The V30i are comfortable and I forget I'm wearing them. The Bluetooth and sound quality is excellent for earbuds. Price is $50. You could get better sound quality from full headphones but for earbuds these are great. Edit: brand name typo
r/Earbuds • Comfortable earbuds for small ears? ->Here are the ones I’ve tried. Shokz- great headphones. It sits next to your ear rather than over. Forever tethered and that can get annoying, especially if you’re wearing a high collared shirt. Shokz now has a non tethered version - I always see them returned at REI so do with that information what you will. Beats headphones - the ones that have an arm that go around your ear. I put the clip over my ear then let it dangle in front of my canal. If I want total block of ambient, I put them in like they’re intended. Three different soundcore - all very affordable especially if you get them refurbished on eBay. All controllable sound quality and controls through their app. Super super long battery life. I think I’m a soundcore person now, the ROI is just much higher with these considering their price, the way I use them, and my perceived sound quality. 1. Soundcore c30i (there are upgraded versions of it) - I really liked these they rest on the flappy part of your ear and project the sound towards the ear canal. Great sound and control. less than $50 cheap. 2. Soundcore v30i. Love these, they’re the older model but I like these because they adjust on the arm itself so you can make it more or less ambient to outside sound. Sits on top of the ear. Also less than $50 if you get them refurbished. I use these at home. 3. Soundcore Aerofit pro. I use these for work - people say I sounds great on calls and don’t hear my coworkers (I work in pretty busy and noisy office. Great sound - dare I say too great, I get overwhelmed sometimes. It sits on top of the canal so you can hear if you need to (not adjustable). These ran closer to $100 - even refurbished. They come with a strap if you want to tether them. The battery life on these are crazy - I charge once a week and I’m on those all day 5 days a week between calls and music.
r/BuyItForLife • Wireless earbuds that still let you hear outside? ->I use the SoundCore v30i for the exact reason. I can hear everything around me and calls are excellent according to people I talk too. Battery is great too, all day on a single charge.
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds 2025? ->SoundCore v30i has a better battery. Also the aerofit 2 will not announce calls by name which the v30i does
r/Earbuds • Best Open-Ear Earphone? ->They would be my favorite too, but the battery doesn't last anywhere near as long and it just making beeps instead of announcing caller's names when I receive a call. That makes the v30i better for me
r/Earbuds • Best Open-Ear Earphone? ->The cushion earbuds never fit well in my ears. The over the ear ones get annoying after an hour or so. So for me, airflow and comfort for long periods of time. I have both. I got a pair of soundcore v30i. Cheap, white a good starter pair for open ear. A little annoying with glasses as they go around the back of the ear but manageable.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • What’s making people switch to open ear headphones these days? ->Soundcore v30i - open ear headphones. They are like Shokz but way cheaper, fit better and sound better. The app also has an equalizer. For a step up, Nothing Ear Opens. If you're going to get Shokz, you might as well get these. They sound way, way better and also have an equalizer. The fit isn't great for everyone in that they run a tad larger.
r/ultrarunning • Good earbuds for Trail Running? ->I have used Samsung, Jabba and several other brands and for me, the one that best balances sound quality and durability and actually stays in my ears is the Soundcore V30i. I’ve been using it for almost a year now, mainly for running, and it’s never once fallen out. It can easily last through a full 4 hour session, and the battery life overall is solid: a single charge gets me about 3–4 days of use. Plus, it’s so light that after a while I barely even notice I’m wearing it. The open-ear design also makes it easier to stay aware of my surroundings. If you want another option, the Airpod line is also very good in this regard. Or you can go to the store to try before buying.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Earbuds that don't fall out ->Soundcore's v20I and v30i are both good.
r/Earbuds • Best Budget Open Ear earbuds under $60? ->Aerofit 2 sound much better to me than v30i. They're my favorites of the current offerings.
r/Earbuds • Best Open-Ear Earphone? ->We have to go with what we need. V30i are priced well too as are the v20i. They all work. Haven't heard the v40i yet.
r/Earbuds • Best Open-Ear Earphone? ->Soundcore V30i open ear. Allow me to remain aware of my surroundings and they stay on.
r/beginnerrunning • Which headphones do you use for RUNNING? ->I love my soundcore v30i for running. Open ear design so I can still hear everything around me and the sound quality is still good. They stay on perfectly. I have run in the rain with them and never had a problem so they can definitely hold up to sweat. I swear I don't work for soundcore I'm just very pleased with them.
r/beginnerrunning • Runners, what headphones are you using? ->Had the Sony buds, Loved the sound, hated the fit. It would start hurting the cartilage part of my ear after about an hour of wearing it. Great sound quality and noise cancelling for earbuds though. Sold the Sony, bought the Pixel Buds Pro 2, fits great. Sound and noise cancelling are both pretty good, not Sony quality but I was happy enough with it. Lately I've been finding that my ear canals get a bit itchy after prolonged earbud use (yes, I clean my earbuds / tips regularly), so I picked up one of the Anker V30i for cheap-ish. Honestly it's currently my go to earbuds especially at work. I only use the Pixel Buds if I'm on a flight, watching a movie on my phone/laptop/tablet, and playing immersive games on my steam deck.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Agreed. Would like to know what OP’s buds are to compare. I’ve got a pair of my own (Soundcore v30i) that are really comfortable that I don’t really feel like I’m wearing any buds. Sound is ok. Price point can’t be beat.
r/Earbuds • First time using open-ear earbuds today, love them ->Samsung Buds 2 Pro are the only pair I have used off that list. They dropped the feature that would let the user adjust the ambient level between the pro and pro 2 which is a bummer but otherwise they have worked well for me. I use the soundcore 30i most of the time at work now. They are pretty dope but outside the sun will cause button presses accidentally. Thanks for the list.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended wireless earbuds in the past year ->I love my soundcore open buds.
r/audiobooks • What open earphones can you recommend? ->I bought the soundcore open ear buds (so no band) and really like them, especially for the price compared to Shokz! From my research, sound quality with open ear/bone conduction will never be as good as traditional buds, so I went with a cheaper option and am very happy with them!
r/XXRunning • Shockz OpenFit earbuds? ->Soundcore open ear have been great, can't really go wrong with Shokz either
r/running • What earbuds do you use while running? ->Agree on their pricing. I love my soundcore buds but battery life had dropped off too. I do use my $30 sound core open ears for the office and around the house but needed cheap anc buds for short flights where I don't want to carry my over the ears. I do love the wings on the liberty pro 3 buds tho, really comfy.
r/Earbuds • What is the best ANC buds. I don't care about anything else ->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 also have the ones from amazon and I love them so much
r/Costco • Costco Exclusive Soundcore Headphones ->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 have a pair of anker soundcore buds that I’ve been using heavily daily for like 4 ish years now. The battery seems to last nearly as long as it did when new. The sound quality is pretty good for my non technical ears. Had to grab a new pair cause I lost them for a few months but now I have them both and haven’t noticed a decline in the originals at all. I like that they’re decent quality yet affordable to replace.
r/BuyItForLife • Need a reliable pair of earbuds that won't die on me. ->My Anker Soundcores are surprisingly good. No where near as good as the Airpod Pro 2s that they replaced, but better than expected. - they fall out a lot more - the touch controls are finicky But otherwise quite decent.
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->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 ->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 ->just anker soundcore. the best !
r/srilanka • Any reliable Earbuds within 10K to 15K (average ANC) ->For in ear I love my anker sound core. But for battery life, I love my aftershockz conduction. I have an early version. My partner has the fancy waterproof one.
r/BuyItForLife • In ear headphones. Plz help. Tired of replacing constantly. ->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). ->Yeah, I got those for almost 2 years now.
r/Thailand • Mr. DIY wireless earbuds for iPhone ->Long battery life is music to my ears - pun intended! Seriously though, I've had some great experiences with Anker's Soundcore earbuds, they last forever! Have you considered checking those out?
r/Earbuds • Looking for earbuds with long battery life ->soundcore anker earphones talaga
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->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 ->Big fan of the Anker Soundcore line 🤙🏼
r/NewSkaters • earphones/earbuds recommendation? ->Anker soundcore earbuds are legit. $20 on amazon and great quality and app
r/Costco • Costco Exclusive Soundcore Headphones ->I love my Anker Soundcore earbuds.
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->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 ->Battery life (number of charges) goes down a lot if you let the charge go below 20%. I recently bought some Anker Soundcore wireless earbuds and they warn you when the charge gets to 20%. Also, charging to 80% improves battery life but I don't think you can control that as the earbuds will charge automatically when they're in the charging case.
r/BuyItForLife • In ear headphones. Plz help. Tired of replacing constantly. ->If you are on Samsung, any Galaxy buds with be good. Buds 2 pro very well with some Bass emphasis. Buds 3 pro (I have them and love them), might be the best on sound quality. Buds 3 FE great noise cancellation, but missing some features because they are FE, still great. OnePlus buds 4, might be the best overall for the price, no complaints actually for that price. The Huawei are actually pretty good for the price,but like the FE, may miss some features, nothing to worry about. And the Soundcore may be the midd point between all of them, not bad at all, but no the best, the same, no complains at the price.
r/Earbuds • You lost your galaxy buds fe and you want to replace them, what are you getting? ->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 ->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? ->I’m on my second pair and they’re outstanding. Good sound, tight fit, and a price that’s unbeatable
r/PlanetFitnessMembers • Best headphones for the gym ->I try to avoid the speakers, you will put them too loud and damage your hearing. I was very happy with my Jabra elites, but lost them all. Replaced by anker soundcore buds.
r/motorcyclegear • Noise canceling earbuds vs Bluetooth in helmet speaker???? ->Soundcore from Anker. Mura lang pero goods na.
r/AskPH • what's the best wireless headset with good microphone u know? ->go for Anker Soundcore or Moondrop on AliExpress. Both brands give great value for the money, and the prices are way cheaper than local shops.
r/srilanka • Any reliable Earbuds within 10K to 15K (average ANC) ->They make earbuds for sleeping. I have Anker Soundcore but there are others. My Bose are a little too bulky to sleep on an airplane so for long flights I will take the soundcore or I also have the Shokz Open Air that work well too because of how they sit but with Shokz, they aren’t noise canceling because you can still hear noises around you.
r/bose • What are the best headphone to sleep on the plane ? (Economy seat) ->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? ->Have a look at Anker Soundcore. I have their buds and they are quite good for what I paid. They also do over ear with active nose cancelling and transparency mode
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Best wireless earbuds for ~£50 ->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 the best. Fight me!
r/PlanetFitnessMembers • Best headphones for the gym ->anker soundcore is good.
r/Tech_Philippines • Recommended bluetooth earphone ->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? ->Anker Soundcore via BT. Great value
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->I’ve really enjoyed my anker soundcores.
r/Marathon_Training • Best running earbuds ->I have Soundcore by Anker. Paid about $40. They are super sweat proof, pretty comfortable,sound decent and hold a charge all day.
r/NewSkaters • earphones/earbuds recommendation? ->Had both and imo the airpods are so much better it's not even close. My anker would regularly have connection glitches when walking through busier areas. They also much more regularly fall out, and ultimately they didn't last very long
r/BuyItForLife • Alternatives to AirPods? ->I've got some jabra elite 7 pro and also several Anker soundcore buds and over ear and never had any issues with any of them across pixel 6a, 7a, 8a and 8 pro.
r/GooglePixel • Earbuds that work with google pixel 7pro ->Buy Anker soundcore buds, they’re available on Lazada. Fraction of the price, just as good, available in white. Very well reviewed and when you inevitably lose one of both or them it’s not the trauma losing an Apple EarPod is.
r/Thailand • Mr. DIY wireless earbuds for iPhone ->Same. No complaints at all. More importantly they fit and stick in my ears which EarPods shaped buds don’t.
r/Thailand • Mr. DIY wireless earbuds for iPhone ->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.
