Unbelievable value and amazing sound
I currently own a total of 14 sets of souncore headphones/earbuds, as well as a few from other companies, and these, by far, is my favorite in-ear buds. They are extremely small, lightweight, and comfortable. They don’t have uncomfortable fins or hooks, yet manage to fit very securely, nestling into the natural contours of my ears.They have ton of noise canceling modes and EQ settings, including custom EQ (not available on some more expensive models) and 3d surround. I’m usually not a fan of the virtual 3d, but it actually sounds very good and natural with these.I love the lipstick-style case, since the buds don’t fly out if you drop them, like most clamshell cased ones do. There are tons of inexpensive silicone covers available too and because of the unique shape, they’re much easier to put on than other ones are, in my experience.I can’t really comment on battery life, except that they last me an entire 13 hour shift without needing a charge. I also haven’t tested their connection range, but they stay connected to my phone through 4 walls, including a brick one, when I leave my desk to use the restroom and don’t take my phone.I highly recommend these. Soundcore is my favorite mobile audio brand and these are absolutely a gem from them. I’m very surprised that they priced them this low so don’t miss out on great sound at an astounding price!

Synching issues -fixed
Final update:The replacement earbuds sent via a warranty claim (no cost to me) are working much better. The ANC is still only a 3 out of 5, but the synching issues are rare and usually only occur when I’m connected to two devices at once. Overall, these earbuds are well worth the money considering they’re less than $50. If you purchase these and have significant issues, try all the trouble shooting steps suggested on the app, and if that doesn’t fix it, the manufacturer is extremely quick on providing replacements through their warranty.First Update to my review: Anker suggested replacing my earbuds via the warranty, so I can say their customer service is great and quite responsive so far. I will update again after trying out the replacement earbuds. I’m giving them a star rating increase (for now) from one to three based on my experience with customer service.Original review:Unfortunately, there are so many synching issues that I feel compelled to say DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.The earbuds fit well and they look nice. As far as value, I would repeat my first sentence.Initially the sound was great and still is when the ear buds actually synch properly (which never lasts long).The ANC options seem decent, but I don’t know if I’ll continue to use these long enough to truly test the ANC out of the house.The app is great; it has many equalizer options and other sound options. The app also has many tutorials on ways to possibly fix synching and battery issues. Unfortunately, none of the “fixes” last very long.The battery in the left ear bud drains nearly twice as fast as the right. The suggested fixes haven’t helped.The sound often becomes unsynchronized, even when every ANC feature is not in use. Examples of the synching issues include:One earbud has a slight delay, causing an echo-like effect,or sound goes out completely in one earbud at a time, often self correcting before the other earbud starts doing the same, or an earbud loses connection then power (even when the battery is not low) and won’t restart until you drop it in the charging case to reboot it.I have had many Bluetooth earbuds and none of them have had synching issues like this. I’m wondering if these earbuds would have worked better if the app hadn’t updated the firmware on them as soon as they initially connected.

Ich bin positiv überrascht von der Klangqualität, die diese kleinen Kopfhörer liefern. Der Sound ist klar, ausgewogen und bietet sogar einen überraschend guten Bass für diese Preisklasse.Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, dass es absolut kein Rauschen gibt – selbst wenn gerade keine Musik abgespielt wird. Bei einigen deutlich teureren Kopfhörern war ein leichtes Hintergrundrauschen immer ein Problem, doch hier fehlt das komplett.Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig, die Kopfhörer sitzen bequem und halten sicher in den Ohren. Das Case-Design, das an einen Lippenstift erinnert, gefällt mir ebenfalls sehr gut und ist dabei noch angenehm kompakt.Für diesen Preis sind die Soundcore A30i wirklich eine tolle Wahl! Ich kann sie jedem empfehlen, der Wert auf guten Klang legt, ohne deutlich mehr auszugeben.

I have received the Package on time as noted. The Shipping has been done perfectly. The Package was also nicely packed. I have still not tested the unit. Overall its is grate.
