Review on Soundcore By Anker Life P3 Noise Cancelling Earbuds Accessories & Supplies for Cell Phone Accessories by Lori Stein

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good sound for music but missing "transparent mode "

Good device. If you are looking for good sound, a good IP rating and a quality microphone for calls, then this is the device for you. The sound quality is very good; loved listening to music. However, I sent mine back because it was missing a few key features for my needs. The most disappointing thing is that the "Transparent Mode" didn't impress me. As a cycling enthusiast, I looked forward to hearing from my surroundings while listening to music and feedback from my tracking app. Although you can safely say that there is a transparent mode, even playing sound from your device renders it almost completely unusable, even at the lowest possible volume setting. Even when there was no sound coming from the app, ambient noise was very, very quiet. Also, it does NOT support multipoint linking. For example, multipoint pairing allows you to connect a phone and a PC to the headphones at the same time. The benefit is that the headphones will play audio for device 1 until device 2 starts making noise. You can't hear both devices at the same time, but the headphones are smart enough to switch to what works. I would like to use them at my work place where I would connect my phone and computer to the headphones at the same time. This is intended for competitor models. Finally, and this is just an unforgivable annoyance to me. During a call, the caller's voice can only be heard in one earpiece. If you're not specifically looking for the transparent mode, don't bother one-ear calls, and don't need multipoint pairing, then I think this is an AMAZING device for you.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Sad packaging
