soundcore by Anker Space A40, Wireless Headphones, Automatic Noise Cancelling up to 98%, 50h Playback, Hi-Res Sound, Comfortable Design, App Control (Refurbished)

Having tried In-Ear Buds over the last month or so from Jabra, JLab, Belkin and Sony with prices from £19.99 to £89.99, these are the best In-Ear Buds by a long shot. The battery life I've yet to fully appreciate but from 10pm until 8am the next morning the Buds were still going strong and after 45 minutes back in the case had charged back to 100%.Sound is equally impressive even straight out of the box (after charging) with concert hall quality deep base and crystal clear sound that is as good as the pair of over ear headphones I use, but without the weight. Installing the app gives more options not only for custom equaliser settings but also to set each Bud's button tap options for controlling on / off, volume +/-, next / previous track, call control etc - even turning the buttons off which is handy at night when laying on your ears in bed which is something I've not found on other sound control apps.The ANC (Active Noise Control) is Adaptive and has 3 options in the app for Normal, Noise Control and Transparency Mode and each is noticeably different for varying environments, but isolate background noise they do and I think the up to 98% claimed on the box would be pretty accurate, even at low volume.The Bluetooth range was in the region of 10 meters the same as other sets but what stood out with these was that there was no loss of sound or spots of sound dropping or popping.A choice of 5 Gel attachments should fit most ears from child to adult and the fit is both comfortable and noise isolating. As yet, wearing these for nearly 18 hours a day over the last few days has not given me a headache unlike all of the models I've tried from the other manufacturers.I also liked the case which has a less shiny surface than others I tried and has a slot on the front to prize the lid open. The buds themselves are also easy to handle, so no dropping on the floor as had been the case with highly polished smooth surfaces.Well done Anker. Altogether it's a 10 out of 10 from me on every aspect and I was so pleased I bought a pair for my wife.

charges fast* great sound quality* great fit* great price* anc is insane!best earphone purchase so far!battery lasts for the whole whole day

I brought these earbuds because of my issues with some Bose QC Earbuds II. I use a lot of devices. iPhone, iPad, computer, and TV with Bluetooth, and the Bose struggle with Bluetooth linking, often dropping and requiring a lot of time to re-pair. My SoundCore A3 has had no issues linking, which is reason why I brought these.Mine was sold as refurbished but looked as new. Linking with Bluetooth and switching devices with no issues. Plus, they come with a comprehensive setup for the best fitting of earbuds and sound balance.Would recommend as good earbuds for most users.

With the sound core app you can adjust the sound with a hearing test, adjust the control functions. Noise cancellation is great and the sound is awesome. Love them!

Nice sound quality and panels out all the low level noise.Can still hear the higher frequency stuff but at reduced volume

My trusty sound pests t2 I bought 3 years ago are starting to die so I was looking for a replacement set. Bought some lower quality soundcore models and eventually bought these for £40. First impressions are the sound is good, extremely comfortable, small size, great battery. But the active noise cancelling feels almost non existent. It does reduce the noise level by a small amount but I can still easily hear everything around me. The app confirms I’m using ANC and even when in manual mode to maximise noise cancellation it makes no difference. As I travel a lot I will be looking for something else

Really good product and it works well with iPhone 14 Pro Max calls are very clean.

One of the main reasons I bought these was that someone on a review site wrote they were the best true wireless (bluetooth) headphones to sleep in.They were right and so far no major issues.The transparency mode is weird because it amplifies surrounding noises but I don't use it much so I can live with it.They are not quality of some of the really expensive ones (you know what I mean?) But they don't fall out and don't hurt when I sleep on my side like those other ones.Worth the money in my opinion, but get them when they are on offer.
