"The R50i NC has a pretty good noise cancelling feature. it cancels out most noises, most especially the low and deep noises such as traffic. ... voices and conversations are ALMOST muted, if you're not listening to music and basically just using these as earplugs, you can still kinda hear people talk but you won't understand a lick of what theyre saying unless you're face to face. It kinda sounds like pressing a thick pillow over people's faces when they're talking. ... I like it, it works for me, especially since once you play music along with ANC, you won't be able to hear any of those little things that penetrate the ANC aside from ambulances and annoying fucking alarms playing on very loud speakers from your brother's PC"
"Soundcore P30i are the best with ANC I've used at that pricepoint."
"ANC ... Been using them for the gym and they block out a decent amount of noise."

"Well worth the $30 USD."
"I actually prefer them more than my more expensive earbuds"
"Incredible for a cheap earbud. ... Honestly, I would have thought these earbuds were more in the $50-60 range."

"I think I can confidently say that these will fit anyone and everyone's taste in music, but ONLY because it's soundcore and their app let's you choose EQ settings that would fit your taste. ... Literally each one of the genres I listed sound amazing and most importantly IMMERSIVE when paired with the right EQ ... I was listening to The Red Clay Strays and was not quite satisfied with the way their music sounded so I tried the "Piano" EQ setting, and holy fuck it's like the mids that i was talking about broke out of their cage and colors started flying. The best way I could describe it is that the vocals and instrumentals became more detailed and colorful as opposed to just being a dull and flat board hitting you in the ears. ... For any and I feel like all kinds of audio, you can get what you want with the right EQ setting (preset or custom, whichever you like), even binaural beats which are these pretentious yoga droning noises that i listen to when i can't sleep, they end up being a spiritual experience. ... there's the EQ customization, allowing you to tailor the earbuds' sound quality to a specific genre or taste. there's a ton of different presets for those who have no idea how to manually do it (me), and there's that custom EQ for the sound engineers"
"Excellent app allows mw to adjust the sound signature to my liking."
"fantastic EQ app that also let's your customize the easy to use touch controls"

"I use it literally 18 hours or more a day and I can personally say, they don't hurt my earholes. ... They stayed on even after a 3 hour nap in bed, lying down."
"The comfort level is outstanding."
"Stay in my ear very well during runs. Fast and slow"

"I use them constantly from 7am to 12 midnight (only music but ANC is on and volume is full blast) and I only had to charge once when it was at 20% and it took about 15 to maybe 20 minutes to full charge. ... So safe to say I think 10 hours of listening as advertised is true"
"great battery life"
"You can get 6/10 hours of playback on a single charge (ANC on/off), and 25/45 hours with the case"

"the ANC is just okay"

"the bass is so heavy, I used the EQ to lower it and even at the lowest setting it's still too much"
"I just can't get them to sound clear"
"My P30i just arrived and the sound feels weird, what is the best mode to make it ... normal!"

"I found them uncomfortable for sleeping"
"The Baseus also fits my ears a bit better, I think because of the oblong ear buds and extra sizes that are included."
For less than 50 Soundcore are my first pick. The p20i is on sale for 19.99(Amazon), and they sound better than $20 earbuds should. For $30, you can get the p30i which also have ANC. I have well over a dozen earbuds, most in the premium segment, and these are the ones I choose for when I'm out mountain biking or other sports... I'd rather be out $20 than $400 (not that I paid that much for any of them, just what they retail for).
Around Black Friday soundcore had the p30i on sale for $25. I’m pretty impressed with them as my backup pair I keep at work.
I just got the soundcore p30i from Amazon at 26€ . Hope they are good
I have no complaints using my Soundcore P30i buds
Whatever Anker Soundcore ones you can find in your budget probably.. I'm perfectly happy with the p30is but got them on sale for only $40cad
Soundcore p30i at $22.30 not sure how this wasn't mentioned at this price they are hard to beat
Though not stemless, it is a pretty short stem. Sorry I did miss that part
Got the Soundcore p30i last week from Amazon for $28. Incredible for a cheap earbud. Construction is solid, great battery life and charge time, solid sound quality, fantastic EQ app that also let's your customize the easy to use touch controls, and it has transparency mode and ANC. The comfort level is outstanding. The only flaws are that the ANC is just okay and the charging case is bigger than average. If you don't need ANC I'd actually recommend the Soundcore p20i, which you can get for $18 refurbished on Amazon or 20-ish dollars new. Same thing but without ANC I think. Honestly, I would have thought these earbuds were more in the $50-60 range. I've had the several other cheap earbuds from Amazon, several variants of the airpods, and I was using the Jabra Elite 75T for awhile as my daily driver. I'd say the Soundcore p30i is better than the Jabras, which cost me $60-70.
Not a fan of Soundcore's sound signature, but at least they will most likely be the least flakey to deal with, and with cheap buds flakiness is the biggest annoyance in my book
I have them also and work good for when I fly. Minimal cabin noise. The app has settings you can adjust.
I think mine are basically the next level up. I wanna say they were around $70. But I've tried those P30s and they're insanely good for the price. And they don't skimp on the quality. They're speakers are great too. I have the Motion Boom and the other smaller one and they stomp my wife's JBL into the dirt lol
my daily are the soundcore p30i; podcasts, spotify and general use. A bit bass-y but they're fine.
