Soundcore A30i by Anker, Smart Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Lipstick-Shaped Stylish Design, Tiny, Lightweight Comfort, Clear Sound, IP54, 15H Playtime in ANC Mode, Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4

UPDATE: I realized there is an app. You can customize what taps and long press control for each earbud, and you can play with the levels of ANC. Wonderful addition to a wonderful product.I had been on the hunt for a while for good earbuds. Most of the main ones on the market hurt my ears after a while. I try the smallest tip but it's just uncomfortable. Especially the ones with a stalk sticking out. Other brands were small ear specific, but a plastic seam irritated my ear where it sat. Unrelated to my earbud search, I was thinking how much I love my Ankr charger brick. I came to Amazon to confirm I bought it 8 years ago and it still works amazingly. Charges 2 phones at once in around 30 min or less. Takes overnight to charge but has never let me down. Always has extra juice, always gets me back full in no time. Anyone I share it with is impressed for the size and quality. So when i saw soundcore was made by Ankr, I was intrigued.I am not a person who works out a lot but the sweating I have done, they stayed in place. Usually if I smile or huff and puff the bud moves and I have to readjust. These stay still if they are clean. I got some hearing aid wipes and clean them from time to time, it helps.I think the sound quality is great but I'm not a music theory expert. I can hear bass and high notes clearly. The noise canceling is ok, but even with it off I can only hear my music unless it's very low. One earbud at a time works great: I can still hear around me and the other stays charged. I haven't had a bud die on me yet. They connect well to my android phone and turn off/on when removed from case.Now, as far as on-device controls. Do I know what I'm doing? No, of course not. I beleive 1 tap does nothing, long press changes between anc and not, hold for 10s....turns them off? Not sure. Typically I would accidentally press a button with other earbuds when I didn't mean to. Doesn't happen with these. If you want to control volume and ANC I think you can, I don't think you can advance to next track or skip. I don't really need on device tap features so that's probably user error. 1 tap= nothing is my favorite. That way I don't skip or pause with my ear accidentallyWhen I bought these, it was like $20. Freaking amazing quality for that price. It fits so snugly in my small ear and gives good sound. The active noise canceling seems to cancel noise when on or off so I can't really tell when I'm listening to music but works great with nothing playing.The case is adorable???? I saw someone call it a lipstick case and that's pretty close to how it feels. Slides open and close easy, pieces go in and come out fine, stands up better than a rounded or bulky case. Fits in my bag and is easy to find by touch. I really love these. I have had them 2 months and have needed to charge the case 0 times. I'll report back if anything goes wrong but now I'm wondering if Ankr makes other stuff. Kitchen gadgets? Spouses?? I mean this quality would be welcome almost anywhere

I have tried a good number of earbuds in this price range, and these are worlds better than JBL, Skullcandy, or similar competitors. One big issue I tend to have is that with other headphones, the earbuds are so heavy and the tip spine(?, the thing that the soft tip connects to) tends to be so large that they fall out of my tiny ear canals. These are slim and dare I say comfortable. Second, the sound quality is amazing for the price. Yes, these don't have the most amazing bass, they aren't super punchy, but they're well balanced and work great for both music and spoken word like audiobooks. Third, as with all Anker products, the battery life can't be beat! Even when not in use, my Skullcandy and JBL buds and cases would lose charge in about a week with no real use. These I have been able to leave them in my bag for a month without using or charging them, and they come out at 95% for the buds, and the case is barely touched. I can wear these to bed for 9 hours, then wake up and still have 40-60% the next morning. Fourth, the variable noise cancellation and multipoint is a no brainer. The noise cancellation is nearly perfect in the highest mode, but it also supports passive and passthrough as well as accounts for wind. All in all, for around $25 normally, and they go on sale for less than that often? Can't be beat!

By no means are these the greatest earbuds ever but for the price point, they’re pretty great. I got them primarily during my search for the perfect earbuds to sleep in as my partner snores quite a bit. Their size makes them comfortable for everyday wear and sleep wear. They do not stick out and risk falling out like my airpod pros and are smaller in size to my galaxy buds+ so they don’t hurt my ears after sleeping in them. ANC works fairly well to drown out the snoring as well as my dogs moving about the room and the fan running. Sound quality is clear though I’m not an audiophile and only know what sounds good to me. Every once and awhile, they will have trouble with connectivity but it’s usually fixed once I take them out of my ears and put them back in. Compared to other brands and even other soundcore models, battery is definitely a down side but has been as advertised. I get about 3-4 hours of playtime with ANC on which is more than enough for me when I’m sleeping.Overall, happy with the quality for the price point. Being under $20 means I’m not as concerned about taking them on trips or losing them while out and about.

Whpever thougjt of this idea is a genius!! haha I was looking for small/"mini" earbud/bluetooth cause I'm holding on for dear life w/the one Ive had for years & its the perfect size for my small ears. I always order them but think they got discont. anytime I try to order mini earbuds they are not so mini..the lipstick case is wht attracted me to them & seen they were small. They did not disappoint! They have all the main features I'm looking for & most of all they fit snug in my small ears. The sound quality is great! I just love them!! They are affordable, def getting more colors!..*update* con: the noise cancelation isn't quite up to standard..I think the noise around u has to be low & music turned up is wht makes noise cancelation with these ear buds..I can still hear my TV thru the music not clear of course but I hear it in background.Update: these buds are still functioning however I've noticed some things since I've been using them...They will pair while in charging case..which causes them NOT to charge. U can have 1 in the other in case and I will switch buds.If I'm using a whole diff ear bud the soundcore will automatically connect. Don't like that. When I need them the battery is drained.So I guess something is not letting them charge or disconnect. I might have to fully unpaired when not in use but who has time for that...I really liked these buds but they are becoming a pain. Had to take away stars.
