soundcore by Anker P3 Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Ultra Long 50H Playtime, Fast Charging, Big Bass, Multi-Mode Noise Cancelling, AI-Enhanced Calls, Wireless Charging, App Control, Bluetooth 5.2

TL;DR: Not the cheapest, but good quality mic and sound, great app for customisation, ANC works well except in extreme environments, and will last you a long time. I've wanted some good quality ANC earphones for a while now, but could never find some that didn't break the bank. After some research, I found these. I chose these from among other similarly-priced competitors because I had a previous iteration of them (the Life A1's) and they were fantastic. I'd like to note I got this pair on discount, and would still buy them even at full price. Everything works as written on the box and like other reviews have stated. The noise cancellation is good for just about every activity you could think of (though not perfect, it reduces the environmental sounds by an incredible amount), with you being able to change which type of noise cancellation you'd like via the app. The app itself is a great addition, which was a key selling point for me, as you can customise the earphones to just about any level you'd like, including what the tap gestures do. I've seen others complain that if you do a more intensive sport, the earphones may fall out. I haven't had this issue, though I can see how if they weren't properly fitted this could happen. I've also seen that cyclists (like myself) have complained about wind noise falling across the earphones, but I haven't encountered this (specifically on full ANC mode), and so fully recommend them for sport. The battery life is great, lasting for the advertised 5/6 hours, and even on a tiny charge in the box, they can continue to last for a significant time. I rarely need to charge the box itself, which I find can sometimes be tedious to remember to do, so I love this. The mic quality was also a big selling point for me, and though it isn't the greatest, it definitely works well, and your voice comes through clearly, if a little quiet. I've used them for this both inside and outside, and they do work to pick up your voice well in both environments. I don't recommend calling when moving at speed (or with wind-rush) as the mics are sensitive to wind. Overall, I definitely recommend these earphones. They're a good price for a good quality product, and will last you a long time.

EDIT 2: I've had these for nearly 2 years now (since Dec. 2022) and they are still working perfectly. The only thing I dislike about them is the impossibly slippery case design - I've dropped them a few times, including outdoors, the case opened on impact and the earbuds landed under a car (thankfully my own, so I could move it!). Luckily, there was no damage other than a couple of scratches on the case, but pleeeease could you, Anker, rethink your cases design to make them a bit less prone to getting dropped? From various reviews, I know others have similar issues. On a completely separate point - while these earbuds are not designed for sleeping, I've discovered that the 'indoor' noise cancelling option gets rid of 99% of my husband's snoring. They do fall out of my ears by the morning most of the time (I didn't expect them to stay in all night as they are not designed for that) but at least they let me fall asleep! EDIT 1: This is an edit to my original review a couple of months ago, when I ended up sending the earbud back for a refund, as the set I received wasn't charging and I gave it only one star as a results. Soon after my original review, I had a message from Anker's Customer Support, offering me a replacement set of earbuds; that was despite the fact that I had already received a refund. Esther (the Customer Support lady) said they wanted to offer me an opportunity to test-drive the earbuds and let them know what I thought. To make one thing clear - at no point there was any suggestion that I would be expected to change my review; I'm really enjoying my Life P3 earbuds and think it's only fair to share my experience. Here is my product review after a couple of months of using Life P3: 1. I like the sound quality; I was pleasantly surprised how much difference these earbuds make to my music listening experience. I realise that everyone's preferences are different, but my three favourite pre-sets are the piano, acoustic and the podcast; those three give me the most vibrant, rich sound. 2. The distance/connectivity range is very good - my phone can be somewhere downstairs in the house, I am upstairs and can still listen to the music using the earpods. 3. I like the fact that the app allows for personalisation of the controls; the pre-set controls didn't make much sense to me, so I changed them to what felt more natural; 4. Volume control was a bit temperamental initially; I set it to '2 seconds hold' to make it louder/quieter and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but now seems perfectly fine; maybe a software update fixed it, or maybe I've just learnt to use the earbuds properly (this it the first pair of wireless earbuds I've ever owned) 5. I keep forgetting that I have to un-pair the earbuds from one device to be able to pair them with another one, so had a moment of panic a few days ago, thinking that they stopped working! I don't know if it's possible to make the earbuds automatically forget the previous connection when attempting a new one; that sort of thing would be very useful. 6. I used the earbuds listening to the music indoors and outdoors; on a Teams call and also having a conversation over WhatsApp outdoors. They worked fine in all those situations. 7. The noise cancelling mode does let through a fair bit of traffic noise, in fact, I have not noticed much difference between the noise cancellation and the 'normal' mode; that is probably a blessing, making them safer to use when out and about. If anything, I think music sounds better in the normal mode; it's difficult to describe why, but I do prefer the normal mode. 8. I am not too keen on the 'transparency' mode as that simply seems to amplify the surrounding sounds, making them too loud for me. The difference between 'normal' and ''transparency' mode is significant. 9. Last but not least - the earbuds seem to last quite a long time without charging and they charge up quickly. The only thing I noticed is that sometimes the battery on one of them runs down quicker than on the other one (based on what the Soundcore app tells me), but I assume that could depend on how my controls are set up / which earbud I tap more often. 10. The earbuds came with four pairs of spare silicone eartips in different sizes, which was great, as the 'default' ones were a bit too big for me, so I swapped them for a smaller size. Overall, I am really happy with my Life P3 earbuds and the only reason I've taken away one star is that I have to try and remember which device I last used them with - my own laptop, my work laptop or one of my two phones - as they have to be manually disconnected from a previously paired device before connecting to another one. Maybe all Bluetooth devices work like that? I don't use Bluetooth for anything else, so don't know an answer to that. The service I received from Esther from Anker's Customer Support was first class - thank you! The original review: The ear buds look nice, were very straightforward to pair with my phone, but this is where the good things ended. The right earbud never produced any sound, it was dead out of the box. I installed the Anker Soundcore app on my phone and that showed that while the left earbud was fully charged, the right one didn't have any any battery power in it. Either the earbud is faulty of the charging case is not working properly... Anyway, I'm returning those for a refund and buying something else instead.

*** Review amended from 1star to 4 star to reflect updated experience *** I have used Anker products for years - chargers, cables, charge banks and headphones. Unfortunately, this is the first product which has developed a fault. The left ear bud stopped working after 3 months. Even more unfortunately, this has led to me dealing with Anker 'customer support' for the 1st time ever. After returning the ear buds under warranty as requested, my warranty claim went into a black hole. Emails are ignored. Tweets are ignored. You get a link to 'escalate your case' when you initially raise your warranty query - guess what, it doesn't work! Server error on the website. That was the downside. So strongly recommend Anker work on the Comms side of their customer service. On the upside, a replacement set of earbuds was shipped to me after around a week, under warranty with no issue. And so far, they are working fine. So I'm happy with how the warranty claim turned out - just not with the lack of communication during it. Getting a replacement set of buds with no quibble is a good outcome. When they work, they are a very good set of buds. They fit comfortably, the selection of tips should be enough to satisfy most. Sound quality is excellent for music. Good clarity through the ranges, and enough volume and bass to satisfy. The noise cancelling works quite well too. I've trialled them on a bunch of calls and asked the people on the other side if they could hear me OK - all could, and zero complaints. Between the fact one broke within 3 months, and the poor Comms when you raise a warranty claim, I couldn't possibly give these 5 stars. Here's hoping the 2nd set holds up.

Comprei de presente para o namorado, gostou muito do som. O cancelamento de ruído também é muito bom, no app instruí como configurar tudo. Muito bom! O produto chegou bem rápido e não precisei pagar taxas de importação.

Son unos auriculares inalámbricos que me han sorprendido muchísimo. Aunque no tienen cancelación activa de ruido, aíslan súper bien solo con la forma y las almohadillas, y eso se agradece un montón. El sonido es muy bueno, con graves potentes y todo se escucha claro. Además, el color es monísimo, quedan genial puestos. La batería también aguanta bastante. Sinceramente, por este precio no he visto nada mejor. No tienen nada que envidiar a otros mucho más caros. ¡Muy recomendados!

I’ve been using the Life P3 earbuds for a few weeks now, and they’ve quickly become my go-to for both work and leisure. The first thing that impressed me was the multi-mode noise cancelling feature. I often work from home, and switching to the “Indoor” mode during video calls blocks out background chatter perfectly. When I’m outside walking near traffic, the “Outdoor” mode reduces engine noise without making me feel disconnected from my surroundings. The sound quality is excellent—deep bass and clear mids make music and podcasts enjoyable. I tested them during a gym session, and the bass boost mode really added energy to my workout playlist. For calls, the AI-enhanced microphone is a lifesaver. I’ve taken calls while walking in a windy area, and the person on the other end said my voice was crystal clear. Battery life is another standout. I used them on a long weekend trip, and with the charging case, I easily got through the entire trip without worrying about finding an outlet. The fast charging feature saved me one morning when I realized the earbuds were low—I plugged them in for 10 minutes and had enough juice for my commute. Wireless charging is also convenient; I just drop the case on my charging pad at night. The app control is a nice touch. I customized the EQ to my liking and set up touch controls for quick access to noise cancelling and playback. Bluetooth 5.2 ensures a stable connection—I’ve never experienced dropouts, even when moving between rooms. Advantages Multi-mode noise cancelling adapts to different environments. Rich sound with strong bass and customizable EQ. AI-enhanced calls for clear voice quality. Ultra-long battery life (up to 50 hours with case) and fast charging. Wireless charging and app integration for convenience. Stable Bluetooth 5.2 connection. Overall Opinion The soundcore Life P3 earbuds deliver premium features at a great value. They’re versatile, comfortable, and perfect for everything from work calls to workouts and travel. If you want powerful noise cancelling, excellent sound, and long battery life without breaking the bank, these earbuds are an outstanding choice.
