I would highly recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a great pair of true wireless earbuds on a budget. They are also a great option for those who like headphones with deep bass. The Soundcore Life A3i has impressive 36-hour battery life, a fun sound signature, and a comfortable design. You add active noise canceling earbuds and you’re getting a lot of value at this price. The A3i is a very usable non-expensive wireless pair of earbuds with noise cancellation and great overall isolation for the price. The unique design with the easy to use control buttons on the side is a good enough selling point on its own that I think a lot of people will really like.

The sound quality for the given price tag is awesome. I don't say Soundcore Life A3i has Sony or Bose level noise cancelling, but for the given price it's awesome. Life A3i can be your workout buddy with its IPX5 build and ergonomic fit. There are also soundscapes with different types of ambient sounds to help with sleep. Anker has also released the LÜM music service which features a ton of very talented artists. It also features battery level indicators to help you keep tabs on when it’s time to charge your earbuds. After EQ improvements, I’d say overall that the A3i sound is decent for its price-point, but not best in class. EQ tweaking can only do so much. The overall sound was still a little thin, hissy, and sibilant, and if I tried to minimize that it seemed to come with an unavoidable tradeoff of hollow boxyness, and this tends to happen in general with tuning mid-highs up or down. The overall tone was just not quite there like it would be with premium earbuds. Anker Soundcore Life A3i Review: If you are searching for affordable wireless earbuds and have a solid battery for a long flight, the Life A3i might be a great option. They provide 9 hours on earbuds and total are 36 hours with a charging case. IPX5 rating to protect the earbuds from sweat, rain, and water splashes. So, you can take them outside or work out. Lightweight design (5 grams each bud) for easily portable. Built-in AI-Enhanced mic gives good clarity calls. Bluetooth 5.2 offer a strong and stable connection. EQ tweaking that roughly trends towards the Harman Curve guidelines improved the overall sound of the A3i considerably. 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.Some users complained about its loose fit but I feel no issue with it's fit. I am pretty impressed with the design and sound quality of Soundcore Life A3i and I would love to suggest these if you are searching a value for the money audio gears. The sound quality is good and loud enough in this price range. The Life A3i does not provide severe bass. 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. But the lows, mids, and highs are well balanced. However; the one advantage is the Life A3i offers preset 22 equalizers, you can choose and try the sound you like. Moreover; they are also customizable to your own sound profile too. Anker Soundcore Life A3i – Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling: Turn on hybrid active noise cancelling to reduce external noise up to 35db and continuously enjoy your music without interruptions. For a natural listening experience with your wireless earbuds, simply switch to Transparency mode. And if you need to take a call, no problem! The 4 dedicated built-in microphones allow for clear calling even in noisy environments. The A3i is advertised as a bassy earbud, with “oversized” 10mm drivers, and Soundcore earbuds already tend to trend towards being bassy in my experience, so I kind of had an expectation of what kind of sound I would get and indeed that’s what I got.

anker soundcore a3i review: Can they beat the competition?

Specs: in-ear, dimension: 2.95″ x 2.36″ x 1.18″, weight: 2.4 ounces, driver size: 11 mm bio-cellulose driver, Bluetooth 5.0, frequency response: 20 – 20kHz, audio sensitivity: 105dB SPL, THD+N: <= 1%I think this is intended, but I really don’t know why Soundcore decided to do it this way – if the same edge were just rounded, or even had a simple rubber piece glued right on it, I think it would actually wedge quite comfortably in the same spot and contribute to a really solid fit.

Fit is good once you have selected and fitted the correct cushions, and I suspect they will take moderate exercise without falling out. Active noise cancellation, you can change between on, off, and the transparency mode by pressing and holding the button on the earbuds. I feel that it can remove enough noise and make me immersive the music as well. Especially if you choose the right ear tips size to fit and firm your ears. TheSoundcore Life A3ihas a unique oval shape that is both comfortable to wear for long periods of time and stylish. This shape and the rubber ear tips make them a good fit for any activity, whether you’re working out or just relaxing at home. I was really impressed with how well theSoundcore Life A3iheadphones worked with my digital assistant. Siri and Google Assistant both work great, and the prompt from the assistant is extremely loud and clear. I also appreciate the fact that I can use these headphones to make phone calls and listen to music without having to remove them. The Soundcore Life A3i true wireless earbuds are a solid choice for a zoom meeting or voice call. Soundcore App Features The Anker Soundcore Life A3i wireless earbuds provide a great connection and connect immediately when you take the buds out of the charging case. Strong and stable within a distance up to 10 meters away from your Bluetooth devices. But some that I feel disappointed, the multipoint connection is not available. That means can’t connect these cheap wireless earbuds to two devices at the same time, which is like many Anker Soundcore wireless earbuds. Anker Soundcore Life A3i – How is the sound qualityThe A3i actually has decent natural isolation with the ANC off, and I think its wide shape lends itself to that. It is always good to have some natural isolation so you don’t necessarily have to have ANC on all the time, which uses significantly more battery. AI-Enhanced Calls with 4 Mics: Converse clearly with A3i noise cancelling earbuds whenever you make phone calls thanks to 4 dedicated built-in microphones and a custom AI algorithm. Let's talk about the soundcore dedicated app. When you open the app, it shows how much battery is left in both earbuds. You can turn the ANC mode on and off, activate the transparency mode, and keep the normal mode. Bluetooth pairing is seamless on apple iPhone 11 and 14 and also on a budget MP3 player. I like the fact that pressing both control buttons for a couple of seconds repairs instantly if you get the very occasional drop out from distance or just after removing from the charge box. All in all, though, for the price, the overall noise attenuation of the A3i is very good and these are definitely ideal for non-expensive commuter use.
