I’ve tried dozens of wireless earbuds in every price range—from premium brands to budget finds—and the Soundcore P30i by Anker genuinely stands out as one of the best value-for-money options I’ve used.Sound Quality:The audio profile is well-balanced with surprisingly rich bass for the size. Mids and highs are crisp without sounding tinny, and vocals come through clean whether I’m listening to podcasts or lo-fi beats. For calls, the AI-enhanced noise reduction works like magic—my voice cuts through clearly, even in windy conditions.Fit & Comfort:I wore these for hours while working, walking, and even during a workout. The ergonomic design sits snugly in the ear without causing pressure. They’re so light that I sometimes forgot I had them on.Battery Life & Charging:Battery life is impressive—up to 9 hours on a single charge and over 30 hours with the case. The USB-C fast charging is a big plus; I got a few hours of playtime with just a 10-minute top-up.Features That Surprised Me:Multipoint Connectivity: Seamlessly switch between devices—no awkward disconnecting/re-pairing.Bluetooth 5.3: Instant pairing and rock-solid connection, even when I walked a room away.Custom EQ via Soundcore App: You can fine-tune your sound profile or choose from well-made presets.IPX5 Water Resistance: Great for sweat or unexpected rain—perfect gym or commute buds.Final Thoughts:If you're looking for budget-friendly earbuds that punch way above their weight class, the Soundcore P30i should be on your radar. Anker nailed it again—these easily compete with $100+ alternatives in terms of sound, features, and overall user experience.

Purchased these to replace older P3i earbuds that had started to have volume issues after a few years (stuck driver?). For the money you are getting a great set of noise cancelling earbuds with these P30i’s. These are a slightly different form factor than the older ones but are approximately the same overall size. Instead of physical buttons these respond to taps to change volume, skip tracks or change noise cancellation mode and this function works quite well and intuitively. The case is a little bigger than the P3i or Airpod cases but is really easy to use with the buds magnetically snapping into the case to charge. The sound quality is very good and I have used the various noise cancellation modes with good results. In both cases these outperform the P3i. Active noise cancellation in airports and planes (or when someone has the TV on in the house and you need to focus) is quite effective at reducing or canceling almost all external sound, while transparent mode when walking on streets gives you awareness of your surroundings. Connection with my iphone is consistent and stable. There are several different modes of active noise cancellation you can tweak to try to get the best results for your environment using the app on your phone as well as customizing the actions for the taps on the earbuds. So far both the earbuds and case have survived accidental falls and drops without any problems. Like all in ear buds how tightly pushed in the are has a big impact on how effective the noise cancellation works.

Let me just start off by saying that they are well worth the $30 I paid for them on sale. Full price of $80 I would give it 3 stars.The sound quality is pretty decent if you're listening in a quiet space. Noise cancellation is not great though for loud noises and makes it even sharper if it's on. I work in a factory making signs and it is good enough most of the time, but when it doesn't, it's even worse than without, also it's pretty bad in wind even just a light breeze. I don't notice any adapting to environment going on. Active aware works well enough, but again, not with things like wind. It is a bit weak and on the quiet side for being fully pass though.The battery last a good while, I use them about 6 hours a day and it lasts me about a week on a charge. That said, there is no real way to know how much charge is left in the case without guessing based on when you last charged it. It just has a single light that turns on during charging and when you put the earbuds back in the case.The touch buttons work well, and never have failed to respond, unfortunately you cannot use them to adjust volume.The bluetooth is not the best, seems weaker than other earbuds I've had in the same price range, good enough as long as you're in the same room as your transmitter, but once you leave even just to the other side of a wall it gets pretty spotty.The build quality of the earbuds themselves seems great, I've dropped them numerous times and they still work good as new, and fit quite well, I like their small size.Overall I think their well worth the discounted price, and had I paid the higher price I would not have returned them, but I would likely end up (and still will) with a different brand around the same price point. They are still plenty good for chill music time in a less noisy place though, and I'll keep them around.

After almost a year I have to say these are really good especially for the price. Good sound quality, great amount of bass. The anc & transparent audio is good too for everyday use. The design is very slick and connect almost instantly without issues. Also very durable as they are in my pocket during heavy work hours. Only downside is they may not completely cancel out the noise at the gym. But still overall very solid for the price.
