In a quiet room, the bass can be overwhelming, but the loud bass makes it easier to hear the beat of your music when you’re out in a busy street. A3i noise cancelling earbuds feature Transparency mode, allowing you to hear your surroundings and keep you aware of the world around you without having to take your earbuds off.

These true wireless earbuds do a better job of attenuating external sound than many pricier in-ear alternatives and offer a broad range of customisation options to boot. As was the case with Anker’s over-ear Soundcore Life Q30, the Life P3’s stand-out feature is their hybrid active noise cancellation. Their sound profile is pretty neutral out-of-the-box, albeit with some extra thump and rumble in the bass for genres like EDM and hip-hop. You’ll have to memorize the button presses on the Soundcore Life A1, because there are no apps or separate buttons. Bumping the mid-highs up a few dB and the highs a little less so was able to balance the sound much better, and the clarity and detail of percussive sounds and instruments in general improved enough to make that weird muffled sensation go away.Switching to the Acoustic preset results in an unnatural emphasis to treble notes and sibilant sounds (think sss). The Bass Booster and Soundcore Signature EQ presets work best with genres that lean into lower frequencies already. Using only AAC or SBC Bluetooth codecs, you won’t be getting any low latency performance from the Life A1 unless you have an iPhone. In terms of sound quality, it can’t compare to expensive wireless earbuds like Sony WF-1000XM3, Bose QuietComfort wireless earbuds, or also Sennheiser Momentum true wireless 2 as well.

Their default sound profile also delivers extra thump, rumble, and boom while vocals and instruments are crisp. Nevertheless; When you wear the Life A3i and do not play music, the high-frequency sound might not be blocked and it still comes through to your ears as well. Anecdotally, this headset is okay for YouTube on my Android phone, but it’s not good enough for daily use.They also have fast charging capabilities, so you can get 2 hours of use after just 10 minutes of charging. The A3i has button based controls, and the buttons are interestingly little notches located on the inner/upper side of the housing rather than the back.
