Better than my AirPods for much less !
on March 12, 2025
Posted by: Steve
from Markham
Given some mixed reviews of this product I was hesitant but ultimately decided to give them a try. I'm glad I did. These are easily better (in many cases) or as good all around as my Air Pods were (which all have died in one way or another - charging case died, audio distortion etc.). People have commented on lower bass but these are really nice, articulate buds with a pleasing sound stage - bass heads should look elsewhere. Battery life is great. I use the pair at times but also use them individually for meetings and they work as required. It's also nice that I can use each side in either ear comfortably based on their design which is handy for ear switching during long meetings. I've heard complaints about the multi-connect but this feature works very well for me. These buds seamlessly connect to 2 devices - much better than my AirPods did. I have bought and returned several competing buds but will be keeping these. These are close to perfect for me with the price being a nice bonus. Highly recommend these.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible ANC
on November 17, 2024
Posted by: Andrew
from Toronto, Ontario
I kept on hearing people praise them so I picked them up. They're OK, but the ANC is terrible compared to my Jabras. And they use touch sensitive buttons which I dislike.

Good sound, mediocre noise canceling
on August 3, 2024
Posted by: Beverly
from BC
Pros
- Sound is nice and balanced.
- Buds work independently, so even if you take one out you can listen to music in the other.
- Lightweight and fit nicely in ears. Includes multiple tips for customization.
- Case is very nice. Small. Lights to indicate battery. Reset button on back.
- Sound is nice and balanced.
- Buds work independently, so even if you take one out you can listen to music in the other.
- Lightweight and fit nicely in ears. Includes multiple tips for customization.
- Case is very nice. Small. Lights to indicate battery. Reset button on back.
Cons
- Noise canceling is far less impressive than my previous (different brand) earbuds.
- Tips are silicone rather than foam (which likely impacts noise canceling.)
- Tap controls are not intuitive and manual isn't very helpful. (Google a video.)

Best budget earbuds with long lasting battery
on June 16, 2024
Posted by: Ongo Gablogian
from Vancouver
I was looking for affordable earphones that would work with my iPhone. The Apple AirPods were out of my budget. I initially tried the Google pixel pro buds since the price was reasonable but they couldn't connect to my iPhone efficiently so I returned them. The ankor soundcore earbuds were really easy to set up and are very iPhone friendly. They connect to my iPhone easily and the battery lasts so long. I took them on a 3 week trip to Europe and never had to charge them and it's still at 2/3 battery! They come with 5 different earbud sizes so they accommodate different fits. I'm no sound officionado but I think the earbuds sound great. I have had these earbuds for over a year and I'm really happy with them. Worth it.

Many flaws- 100% would NOT buy again
on April 24, 2024
Posted by: Gary
from Port Moody
After reading many good reviews of these earbuds, and also owning a pretty good pair of over-ear wireless by Anker, I bought these earbuds this weekend, mostly for use in the gym. And this is also mostly where they fail. First the good- I like the app and the customization of the controls. The sound is OK, pretty clean overall, and the EQ is customizable which is a must for me- however there is only +-6dB on each band (for the non-musical, this means that there is not a very large range of cut and boost for each frequency- most EQs have 12dB). But I could live with the EQ the way it is. I did say the sound is pretty clear, and it is, but is also has a signature that I really don't find that pleasing and tweaking the EQ could not result in a sound I was really happy with. Hard to put my finger on it but I just don't find them that enjoyable to listen to, but agin, mostly for the gym so it's not that big a deal. My last pair was a set of Jabra Elite 3, which I unfortunately lost as they were great in all respects.
Now for the bad. The main thing is that they are terrible at staying in my ears- tonight in the gym one or the other fell out three times in an hour. This is just unacceptable. I know these are not dedicate "sport" buds and therefore lack wings or other stability features, but come on- you should be able to use them on the elliptical or turn your head to the side when you'r a little bit sweaty. The problem seems to be that the nozzle (the part that goes in your ear canal) is too short for the weight of the body of the earbud, and also the silicone seems to be not as grippy as on other earbuds. It's REALLY annoying when you have to stop your workout to retrieve an earbud. Not sure why the designers would go with this. Yes, I tried all the tip sizes, and it made zero difference. So now I'm looking at replacement foam tips or add-on wings or something. The other thing I don't like is how sensitive the touch controls are- it's easy to trigger a command just by casually brushing the surface- and as I was constantly trying to push the buds in farther so they wouldn't FALL OUT, this was a continual hassle. My last gripe is that there is no way to turn the buds off, except by putting them back into the charging case. This is a major flaw IMHO. It means always needing the case- what if you wanted to wear them for the day, say while commuting, and turn them off when you get to work? It's not possible. Again, what idiot designer made this choice? Yes, there is an auto-off function in Settings, but the shortest time option is 30 minutes, So you need to turn Bluetooth off on your phone, and 30 minutes later the buds with shut down. Wishing now I would have bought another pair of Jabra.

Best ANC value out there
on November 19, 2023
Posted by: Jefe
from Victoria, BC
I’ve been looking for some replacement commuter ANC earbuds to replace my flaky Samsung Buds2 (which are pretty good). Research seemed to keep recommending these (see rtings best ANC earbuds list). Extremely good noise cancelling, good transparency mode, quite good sound quality if a bit lacking in warmth. Very good app too. Black Friday made these insanely cheap and I’d put these only a marginal drop down from AirPods Pro, Buds2 Pro, Sony 1000’s at a third or less the cost.
