Our take on the Soundcore by Anker Life A3i Bluetooth Earbuds

The Soundcore Life A3i is a budget pair of true wireless earbuds with hybrid active noise cancelling, 10mm drivers and BassUp bass boost. Battery life is strong for the class: up to 9 hours per charge and 36 hours with the case with ANC off, dropping to 6 and 24 hours with ANC on. Four microphones with an AI algorithm handle calls, and the Soundcore app adds 22 EQ presets, transparency mode and control customization. It suits commuters and casual listeners who want ANC and long playtime without paying flagship money; rivals at this level often skip noise cancelling or fall short on battery.

  • About the Soundcore by Anker Life A3i Bluetooth Earbuds

    The Soundcore Life A3i are wireless Bluetooth earbuds with hybrid active noise cancelling. They use 10mm oversized drivers and BassUp technology for powerful bass. Transparency mode lets in sound from your surroundings while you listen.

    Four microphones and an AI algorithm handle calls and reduce background noise. The Soundcore app offers 22 EQ settings, sound customization and mode switching. The earbuds pair with a previously paired device as soon as they are taken out of the charging case, and either earbud can be used on its own for music and calls.

    Each earbud lasts 9 hours on a single charge with ANC off, or 36 hours with the compact charging case. With ANC on, they last 6 hours per charge, or up to 24 hours with the case. A 10-minute fast charge gives 2 hours of playback. The earbuds are lightweight and have IPX5 protection against sweat, rain and water splashes.
