About this deal

Recent headphones from this manufacturer have an adjustable noise cancelling system that offers excellent overall performance. Their noise isolation performance nearly rivals high-end brands like Bose and Sony. The Soundcore Life A3i is also sold as Soundcore Life Dot 3i. It's the same product; there are no differences.• Most Anker headphones are compatible with the Anker Soundcore app, which offers a graphic EQ and presets so you can adjust your headphones' sound to your liking. You can also remap controls and adjust the active noise cancelling (ANC) level to suit your needs. Lower mid-tones are lifted too. Drums, darker instruments and electronic tones, as well as male and lower female vocals, have a strong presence, without giving in on detail: instruments and frequencies are still separated well from each other and the bass. This is what the A20i does better than the mentioned other models from the brand: even though the other lows are boosted too, the bass keeps its separation, impact and fullness in more crowded songs.

Still, with the difference between treble on lower and higher volume, the Life A3i is a curious thing. It perhaps best compared to a modern hot hatch car with a sports button near the wheel. It drives easily, friendly and perhaps even a bit dull, out to give you a smooth ride for everyday use. 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 FeaturesTheSoundcore 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.

The Soundcore app has a lot of features that can enhance your listening experience. The equalizer has 22 presets, which help you customize the buds for different types of music. Again, this is likely a result of the added holes. You can probably still shower with these in (like I did), but I wouldn’t make a habit of it. (Photo/Josh Wussow) The touch controls of the Soundcore A20i mark one of their only issues. While the touch panels respond well to your input and you can setup the controls the way you want via the free Soundcore app for Android and iPhone, it takes a little while before your commands are followed up. Fit is good once you have selected and fitted the correct cushions, and I suspect they will take moderate exercise without falling out. Compared to the Spirit Dot 2 and Life A1, the Life A3i has a looser fit as rubber ear-wings are missing. It also doesn't have the wireless charging of these models. Comfort, call quality, battery life, and controls are all better on the A3i though - not to mention the availability of ANC.

Lineup

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. Conversely, EQ modes must be switched through the app. This is probably a good thing, as scrolling through 20-plus settings with a tiny button would get tedious in a hurry. At first glance, the overall external body is similar to Life A1 and Life Dot 2. The Anker Soundcore Life A3i has mini ear wings, which give a more secure fit while wearing. They provide three sizes of ear tips like other general wireless earbuds which give the additional different sizes of ear tips. If you choose the right size and put the right position in your ear for the most secure fit and comfortable for a long listening session. The earbuds come with 10mm drivers that are quite big and you must place earbuds in your ears in the right position to perfect noise reduction. In the instruction manual, don’t wear earbuds horizontally because it will affect the noise reduction effect of the ANC. And it really is. These don't have touch since they've controls and use a small physical button instead. That's quite odd.
