Soundcore P30i by Anker Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Sturdy and Sensible Noise Cancelling, Highly effective Bass, 45H Playtime, 2-in-1 Case and Telephone Stand, IP54, Wi-fi Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4 (Inexperienced)

Serious bang for your buck
I bought these because my Sony WF-1000XM4’s recently gave out. I only had them for two years and I couldn’t justify spending another $280 on earbuds. I had heard good things about the Soundcore series, so I figured I’d give them a shot. Not much to lose, especially since I got them on sale for $30.These blew my expectations out of the water. The sound quality is excellent, especially for the price point. They probably won’t satisfy a serious audiophile, but for normal people who want descent quality sound for streaming music from their phone, these are hard to beat. They hold up well against buds that cost 5 times as much. The sound stage is actually really impressive for in-ear headphones. The bass is deeper than expected, but tight and not boomy or overwhelming. They aren’t quite as crisp as my old Sony’s, but I think they’re more neutral and for the money, I really wonder why I spent so much on the last pair.As far as other features go, they are also great. Battery life is great, they pair easily and don’t require the app to function as basic Bluetooth headphones. The app does work well though, and I loved that I had so many options for settings on the touch controls on the buds. There’s 4 individually programmable settings for each bud, so you can really get every control you want programmed in all at once. They fit really nicely, they’re super light, and they’re comfy for long periods of time. The noise cancelling is the weakest part of these headphones, but I’m probably just spoiled by the Sony’s. The noise cancelling works great if you’re listening to music or something, but if it’s quiet music or if you just want to block sound, it lets quite a bit through. The phone stand built into the case seemed kinda gimmicky to me at first, but it actually works really well, at least in landscape.Honestly, I can’t recommend these enough and I’m really curious about what the other Soundcore headphones have to offer.

so far so good…
I’ve had these for a few months now, and they’re still holding up well. I tend to buy Anker products as they are durable and simply put, they work. Easy to charge, long-lasting battery, nice strong sound output, just overall a great product. I use them to listen to music but also to talk on my phone. Reception is great, no dropped calls, sound is very clear. Buds of this shape are comfortable to my ear as well.Price point is very reasonable for what you get. Would purchase these again.

5 stars for the price.
Yeah, they’re pretty good. When new, they stayed in my head very well; now that I’ve had them a while they sometimes slip out like other buds I’ve had. I haven’t tried the other silicone tips though.Connecting via Bluetooth is always great, whether one bud or two. It’s an extremely seamless process compared to other inexpensive buds.They sound just fine. You can adjust the EQ in the app, but I’ve never had any complaints, so I’ve never bothered. The app is very useful however for customizing the controls, which is both dope and necessary.I chose press-and-hold to increase/decrease volume. It would be nice if you could hold, and the volume would continue to move. As it is, the volume only adjusts by one degree, and then you have to press-and-hold again to get it to adjust further. So that’s a very minor gripe/inconvenience I have.I’m sure active noise cancelling and transparency mode are fine. I never see the need to use them, so I can’t say if those modes are very good or very bad.Oh, the phone stand is a nice touch, and it works surprisingly well.Hope that helps.

Purchased the P30i in-ear buds during the Amazon Prime sale. It was a great price at $40.00 and I wanted to have a back-up pair in case I lose the current pair I use for work, the Soundcore Space A40 in-ear buds.This will be my FIFTH pair of Soundcore headphones. With the exception of the Life Q30 headphones, I have had no issues with any of the other pairs and they have worked well or exceeded my expectations. The Life Q30 headphones still work and sound great but the plastic on either side just above the actual ear cups cracked completely. Luckily I used some plastic bonding material to put them back together again.Back to the P30i. Aside from looking stylish in light blue, they perform exceptionally well, with great sound (thanks to the Soundcore phone app). I had no issues with the fit of the ear caps that came with the buds but as with all in-ear bud products, Soundcore did provide additional extra caps for different ear fits.The touch controls for each ear bud maybe on the touch-sensitive side but are customizable (thanks again to the app). What I cannot believe is that the P30i come with Bluetooth 5.2 that works quite quickly and effective when pairing the ear buds with two devices. The microphones for speaking come in clear as was confirmed when speaking to friends on the phone.As for the noise-cancellation aspect, it works well for the price. This is dependent on how tight of a seal in the ear canals produce with the chosen ear caps. Although not as high-end or effective as Bose or Sony buds, the P30i do a good job in interior environments.The charge, when using noise cancellation, will fall short of the estimated 10 hrs as advertised by Soundcore on Amazon. However, I never wear my headphones or ear buds for more than 3-3.5 hrs at any given time and always place them back in the charging case when not needed.I would highly recommend purchasing these earbuds if you are seeking a pair for daily use. I use this pair for office meetings and Teams and listening to music at work. For a price range between $40 to $50, you will be getting a reliable product with many features that are often associated with higher-end ear buds.

Nice sound and battery
