I don't know if is the weighting (they are barely noticable wearing them) or shape or my ears or what, but I've tried all the sizes of silicone buds, and they don't stay in all that great. It is fine when I'm working at my desk, or riding in a car, they don't randomly fall out. But, they do fall out way more often than I'd like. I might be chewing food - that is enough to have one fall out. Doing anything more active than walking the dogs one or the other is likely to fall out. I do sports photography and walking the sidelines is o.k., but if I stop and talk to someone, good chance one falls out. Maybe it is just my ears. When it comes to volume, the P3i can use a firmware upgrade on Android - as the maximum volume on Android devices may be a too soft for active listening. There's (already) plenty of volume on iPhone. As for its battery life, it can serve you for a maximum of 6 hours with ANC on, and with its function switched off, it can operate for 9 hours. The case recharges the earbuds fully four times before you may require new power. That’s as much as 36 hours of battery life. The charging case is charged via a USB-C cable. There is no wireless charging functionality. Design and Comfort Easier to Use Button Controls – The Soundcore Life P3i wireless earbuds have tactile buttons that are very easy to use, thus smooth control of calls and music.

Anker estimates the Soundcore Life P3’s battery life to be roughly seven hours with ANC off, or six hours with it on, while the case carries an extra 35 hours (ANC off) or 30 hours (ANC on). Your results will also vary with your volume levels. Soundcore Life P3 Noise Cancellation and Sound QualityThere's some power behind the 11mm drivers, and it shows right out of the box. Much like the design resembles the Liberty Air 2 Pro, I would argue the sound is fairly consistent with it as well. The Air 2 Pro have a clearer sound profile that wards off distortion at higher volumes, whereas the Life P3 rumble just a little more, particularly in the lows and mids. For some reason one time the right earbud did not connect to the phone. It was somehow off even after just taking both earbuds out of the charge case. I had to hold down the button on the earbud to get it to wake up. I tested these headphones while traveling, connecting to my iPhone and iPad and had really decent sound. The ANC is just ok, but I had no issues listening to music and watching Netflix. My one regret is that when you remove one of the ear buds the audio does not automatically stop which is a nice feature of the AirPods. You have to manually stop what you’re watching or listening to. Anker headphones generally have high latency on PC. You may notice your audio and visuals fall out of sync, which can be frustrating if you like to stream video on your laptop.

The P20i does get support from the free Soundcore app for iPhone and Android, and that's its biggest win over the Life P2i and P2 mini. The app is delightfully easy to understand and use, and lets you add volume controls to the responsive - albeit slowly reacting - touch panels. It lets you activate the specific gaming mode that synchronizes gaming sound effects with the action on your screen quite well, making a game like Call of Duty mobile playable without heavy delays. A systematic review of headphones takes the following into consideration. Comfort, sound quality, battery life, noise canceling features, connectivity.Hear the World Around You: Switch on Transparent Mode and talk to someone next to you with ease without removing your Life P3i noise cancelling earbuds. ANC quality: The biggest difference between the cheaper Soundcore Life P2i and Life P3i, is that the latter has Active Noise Cancelling. Unfortunately, it's not as effective as the best models in the 50-100 dollars price range as of mid-2022 - including the Soundcore Life P3.
