Only day 2 of usage so I can’t speak for battery life yet, but …Sound quality - utterly stunned at how wide the soundstage is and clarity of all frequencies, from the bass to mid to treble. I’ve been using many (I keep losing them) A90 Pro cheapos whose noise cancelling never worked and sound quality was always variable. I love the app which did an analysis of my hearing and gave me a custom EQ.Noise cancelling - again, utterly brilliant. In auto mode it works a treat and in manual mode on max setting, the kitchen fan virtually disappears. It’s not quite like mu Bose on ear QC headphones but very impressive at this price point (£38 at the time of writing).Case - very clever little case with what was a strange pull up notch which my son discovered and told me it is a phone stand! And I notice the bottom of the case has a rubberised bit that stops it moving about - very clever.App - again very user friendly and intuitive with loads of functionality - from EQ to the brilliantly useful flexibility of being able to set what taps down what functions.Fit - the fit is perfect for my adult ears. Like all things in-ear the key is to find the correct sized rubber / silicone bits (of which it comes with many variations) to properly seal into the ear canal - reducing noise and improving fit.Downside - not as responsive to taps as the A90s were but for now I’m wondering if it’s me just getting used to a difference in responsiveness?🤷‍♂️I’ll update this review as I experience them for longer, but first impressions are of a very high quality product. Bought a second set for my son. Especially as I find the volume is 1/2 of what it needed to be on the A90 pros due to better sound and actual working ANC!Update 12-Sep-25: battery life is stunningly good, ANC works flawlessly, no connection issues - in fact I have it connected to my laptop and phone at the same time. a VERY happy customer

After losing one of my Galaxy Pro buds, I was struggling to find a pair of earbuds without spending too much money. None were giving me battery life, fit or sound quality.Until I took a chance on these.You get a great selection of earpieces to get them.juet right. The app downloads as soon as you connect, and it's easy to get the buds set up. The app gives a lot of different options and you can get into the nitty gritty of equalising. However, presetup equalisers are there and ready. The noise cancelling ability of these buds is truly amazing. I go back and forth in a busy ferry every day, and when I'm wearing these I'm in my own world. The sound quality and clarity is great - I listen to a lot of audio books and I can make out all the words so much better than cheaper brands.Connecting with these is fast and simple - open the box and they're connected. You'll get a notification with the battery life which is really handy. The buttons on the side can be modified to whatever you need them to do in the app - it has a lot of versatility.I think I actually like these better than my galaxy buds. For value and functionality, I don't think you can go wrong.

Fantastic for the price. The key thing with these is to get the fit right. They are supplied with multiple tips for the earbuds so experiment. Once you find the right ones that sit right in the ear they won't move and the sound quality and noise cancellation is so much better once they fit. I changed to small from the default medium. The app is ok but has complex options that are not explained well in the, quite frankly, poor instructions, hence the loss of one star. I love being able to tailor the touch controls. The sound quality is great and they connect to multiple devices at once. I would recommend and would buy Soundcore again.

The earphones come with 5 different sized tips making them a perfect fit for any ear. They even stay firmly in place when at the gym or going for a run. Take time to find the right size for you as this really helps the noise cancellation mode drown out as much noise as possible.The Soundcore app takes a little time to get used to but really enhances the sound once you find your desired settings. This can also help with the noise cancellation mode.Not only is the sound great, they look absolutely amazing and can connect to multiple devices.You can check the battery levels of the earphones and case at a glance using the app. On a full charge, I was able to get about 10-11 hours use and with the case charging the earphones when not in use, I was able to make it through the week before I had to charge them again.Charging the case can be done with the usb-c cable provided (you’ll need your own plug) or wirelessly if you have a compatible charging dock.Overall, these are a great set of earphones and I would have honestly expected to pay a lot more them.

I struggle to think of a single disappointment I have with this product. Perhaps the instruction manual could be better, although it's adequate if you're reasonably savvy. The earbuds are a little bulky (so not suitable for kids), and you would probably struggle to sleep with them in. That's about it for potential downsides.As for everything else... Battery life is nice, and the sleek charging case extends it further. They're comfortable and have 5 sizes of earpieces included. They connect quickly and seamlessly. The sound quality is very good (bass response is excellent).The noise cancellation, in particular, is extremely impressive. I would definitely recommend these if you take long coach or train journeys.Overall these feel like a quality product. I'm very happy with them.

Comfortable, easy to set up, good sound. Great value for money.
