Anker Life Dot 3i

After using it for a week and comparing it to my Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds, here’s my take:

1. Fit: Perfect
2. Sound Quality: Good and reasonable for the price.
3. Noise Cancellation: Not as effective as Bose, but call clarity is excellent on both ends.
4. Equalizer: Various options available through the Soundcore app.
5. Dual Pairing: Seamless connection with both my Android phone and Apple Watch. Calls switch effortlessly.
6. Workout Compatibility: Very comfortable. I use them for my 40 KM cycling, and they fit well.
7. Battery Life: Good.

The audio quality of these earbuds is outstanding, with exceptionally smooth bass that truly stands out. While call quality is decent on my end, the person on the other side sometimes struggles to hear me, so I wouldn’t recommend these for phone calls. However, if you’re looking for an incredible music experience, these earbuds are fantastic. The bass is unmatched compared to others on the market. Many earbuds either lack good bass or have it so heavy that it’s uncomfortable, but these offer a smooth bass that enhances the listening experience without any discomfort. Active Noise Cancellation works wonderfully for music, although it’s just okay for calls.

The tonal quality of the voice sound is quite thin.

I’ve been using the AirPods Pro 2 daily since I’m fully integrated into the Apple ecosystem. Recently, I got back into casual motorcycling and needed a low-profile pair of true wireless earbuds that would fit comfortably under my helmet. Unfortunately, the AirPods kept dislodging while I wore the helmet and would often fall out when I took it off. So, I started searching for a slim true wireless option that would stay in place.

I stumbled upon these Soundcore TWS buds, drawn in by their affordable price and positive app reviews. After experimenting with the app and adjusting the equalizer to replicate the AirPods Pro 2 sound profile—boosting the sub-bass, flattening the bass, tweaking the midrange, and adding some brightness to the highs—I was blown away by the audio quality. They deliver an incredible soundstage and imaging, which was a pleasant surprise, especially considering they can maintain simultaneous connections to both my Mac and iPhone.

There’s something special about these earbuds. Interestingly, Soundcore’s more expensive models don’t seem to offer the same level of sound quality, as they have a V-shaped profile lacking in soundstage and imaging.

These earbuds exceeded my expectations—it’s almost unbelievable how good they are. While their active noise cancellation isn’t top-tier, it’s still decent for the price of around 3,000 INR. If you’re after exceptional sound performance at an unbeatable price, these are definitely worth considering!
