Product Information

The Life P3 won't snuff out background noise the way the best in the industry can, but that's to be expected. It has more support from the app as well, with different noise cancelling settings and well-executed sleep mode sounds. Although I found the Soundcore Life P3 very comfortable to wear, I did experience an annoying issue relating to their fit.

As a result, their mics tend to have poor recording quality and mediocre noise-handling performance. Prior to my career in reviewing tech, I worked as an audio engineer—my love of recording audio eventually led me to writing about audio gear. Although not all of their headphones support this codec, a couple of their latest headphones, like the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless, support LDAC, designed for Hi-Res audio.

If you just want to use the ANC, the Mini Pro can get you through the night and that's this SoundPEATS’ superpower: it's so compact and comfortable to wear, you can wear it to bed and give you a good nights rest in noisy areas. I didn’t feel the need for it very often but it did successfully add weight and depth to dancier, bass-heavy playlists.

Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Not to the point where they got anywhere close to falling out, but enough to affect their passive noise-cancelling seal. That kind of variability is nice for more budget-conscious earbuds, and it helps that the comfy fit and solid default audio provide an excellent foundation.There's lots of extra bass to compliment hip-hop and EDM tracks, but vocals and instruments sound overly harsh, while sibilants, like cymbals, are fatiguingly piercing.
