Amazon sells a similar earphone (Life P3), the only difference being the P3 comes with a wireless charging case and this Note 3 does not. Also, the P3 is currently more expensive at $80 but more color options: https://a.co/d/1mGLrbP


The P3 which is the same earbuds as this Note 3 is highly rated:

https://www.rtings.com/headphones...y-wireless
"Best Truly Wireless Earbuds Under $100"
The Anker SoundCore Life P3 Truly Wireless are the best Î’luetooth earbuds under $100 that we've tested. These versatile buds have a few features that make them stand out from other buds in this price range. Out of the box, they have a bass-heavy sound profile that's well-suited for thumpy and boomy genres like EDM and hip-hop. You can tweak and adjust it to your liking using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. The buds also have an ANC system with three adjustable levels, meaning you can target different kinds of noise. Using 'Transport' mode, they can block out an excellent amount of ambient noise, including the low rumble of bus and plane engines.

While their continuous battery life of under six hours is less than many of the other picks on this list, their carrying case holds an extra four charges. They also have a good build quality certified IPX5 for resistance against direct water contact and have a comfortable in-ear fit for long listening sessions. Their integrated mic offers a fair overall performance, which is expected from in-ears as the mic sits far away from your mouth.

P3 is the cutdown model of the Air 2 Pro. Anker is always about one generation behind the current leaders at lower price. Take for example the current leaders in TWS are Sony WF-1000XM4, Momentum 2 TWS (soon 3), Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro (soon Pro 2), Bose QuiteComfort, and the King of ios Apple Earbuds Pro. They generally have the follow characteristics, ANC that is 'industry leading,' wear detection, ambient model, +/- speech detection (this is a plus and a minus often too sensitive, clearing your throat turns off your music, yea), high-def codex and in-app Eq. There are other features, but these are general them.

1. ANC you are creating an inverse frequency to 'cancel' the noise and combined with passive (fit in your ear) create your personal music space. ANC is difficult to get just right, you need external mic to pick up noise, multiple mic to detect direction a noise, and use a algorism to 'cancel' the noise. Speed of processing is key, constant dull noise is ease, it is consist, but sudden or varying noise if difficult and require consistent CPU processing, this is way Sony created they own processor for the headsets and earbuds. (Anker Liberty 2 Pro is mid-tier good for constant noise, but poor for say crying baby, it is the passive doing the work is that case, get good foam tips and they will make the difference, Anker does not have the R&D budget of Sony or the margins of Sony, they buy good off-the-shelf designs, while Sony uses custom R&D.)

2). On-wear detection. This is old tech at this point, it is a optic sensor that detect light and dark. (No R&D, just cost of sensor). Liberty 2 Pro has this , P3 does not.

3). Ambient mode. That is just the ANC mic passing sound to the drivers. Both P3 and Liberty 2 Pro has this.

4). Speech detection. This is newer feature for higher end like XM4, Buds Pro, but of questionable value. Like I said before clearing your throat is the same as speech for most of them.

5). High-Def Codex. Most higher-end uses LDCT or AptxHD, but this will likely change with the upcoming Bluetooth Audio Codex. Liberty 2 Pro uses LDCT, and P3 does not.

6). In-App Eq

6). In-App Eq. Both have them, no real difference in Eq.

7). Sound Quality. Too subjective, Anker P3 and Liberty 2 Pro are more similar than they are different, they use the same basic drive tech, Liberty 2 Pro drivers are bigger, more bass and treble extension. Questionable if everyone can hear that.

Those are my thoughts hope that helps. I have XM4, Jabra 75T and 85T, Buds Pro, P3, Liberty 2 Pro, and Liberty 3. My EDC is Liberty 2 Pro, they can be had new for 62 dollars or refurbed for less when on sale. Good enough for everyday, and I would not be sad if they are lost of damaged. XM4 is by vacation pair, I do not like the 85T or Buds Pro (they use oval eartip that does not work well for me, and many other people), Liberty 3 is okay, better than Liberty 2 Pro, but protrudes too much has like to fall out. Jarba 75T is retired by often I think Jabra 75T is the best balance of size/quality/crappy ANC (but it was a last gift to user addon, so I am grateful). Jabra 3/5/7 are just not the same quality. Oh, while I have the P3, they are been give to my kids. I think the DOT 2 XR refurb is better. I have those as well. The All-state warranty really works, my XM4 broke after 1 year, and they just cut me a check to buy another one.

If that is important, I recommend Jabra 75t. Multi-connect is not common, even Samsung does not do it well. Jabra is only is Liberty 3.

Thanks mate. I lost my Jabra on the toilet and got some other brands after that. Multi device connection has not been the same.

Adaptive Eq is not something I trust, we all like sound a little different, a app adjustable Eq is a minimum requirement for mid-tier earbuds that really you can tune. No high-def codex. Qi charging for a earbud is just gimmick, yes it works and I have multiple earbuds with qi charging, but I charge them one average once a week, do I really care that must, and it needs a flat charge pad and phones do better on a holder, I use a magnetic plate and use apple style qi charging on my S22. I have just not been impressed by Wzye earbuds or headphones, the space is just too competitive.

This goes to my discussion on ANC, the classic ANC example is the airplane engine, all ANC do similar, but the crying baby is the challenge. All lower tier ANC usually fails. You really need passive isolation to combine with moderate ANC. So, P3 with tight foam will outperform a XM4. While, XM4 with foam will be the best.

Sorry, in summary, P3 should be fine, but keep you expectation in check. I would really recommend the Dot 2 XR refurb, you will be a lot happier. In-ear without the stem hold in the ear better than stem earbuds, if all else are the same.

Klipsch is a heritage audio hardware maker, their sound quality is better than of the P3, but there are a few downsides. No ANC and there seems to be connectivity issues. Anker is a tech accessory company first and a 'sound company' second, while Klipsch is a sound company and tech second. It should be no surprise they are still having tech teething issues, while Anker delta with them years ago. Not to say no issues with Anker, but less.

How is the sound compared to the Jabra Elite 75T? I thought those were great, but I lost them. I have the Anker Soundcore Life Tune XR over ear headphones, which are good. But I liked the bass and punchiness of the Jabra , and would like the same thing from my next earphones

Jabra 75t fit better than the P3, multiconnect is a better. You will fit the P3 to a little dull at default, but this can be improved by Eq. 75t always felt crisp and clean if that makes sense, but P3 felt dull and even with Eq is not the same.

I have 2 pairs of Anker true wireless buds, Note E and Liberty Air 2. Very happy with the sound quality and battery life of both. Purchased the Liberty Air ones refurbished from Anker outlet on Ebay, they came looking brand new in new packaging. I think they were 26 bucks. Great deal
