Ankr doesn’t make bad products
UPDATE: I realized there is an app. You can customize what taps and long press control for each earbud, and you can play with the levels of ANC. Wonderful addition to a wonderful product.I had been on the hunt for a while for good earbuds. Most of the main ones on the market hurt my ears after a while. I try the smallest tip but it’s just uncomfortable. Especially the ones with a stalk sticking out. Other brands were small ear specific, but a plastic seam irritated my ear where it sat. Unrelated to my earbud search, I was thinking how much I love my Ankr charger brick. I came to Amazon to confirm I bought it 8 years ago and it still works amazingly. Charges 2 phones at once in around 30 min or less. Takes overnight to charge but has never let me down. Always has extra juice, always gets me back full in no time. Anyone I share it with is impressed for the size and quality. So when i saw soundcore was made by Ankr, I was intrigued.I am not a person who works out a lot but the sweating I have done, they stayed in place. Usually if I smile or huff and puff the bud moves and I have to readjust. These stay still if they are clean. I got some hearing aid wipes and clean them from time to time, it helps.I think the sound quality is great but I’m not a music theory expert. I can hear bass and high notes clearly. The noise canceling is ok, but even with it off I can only hear my music unless it’s very low. One earbud at a time works great: I can still hear around me and the other stays charged. I haven’t had a bud die on me yet. They connect well to my android phone and turn off/on when removed from case.Now, as far as on-device controls. Do I know what I’m doing? No, of course not. I beleive 1 tap does nothing, long press changes between anc and not, hold for 10s….turns them off? Not sure. Typically I would accidentally press a button with other earbuds when I didn’t mean to. Doesn’t happen with these. If you want to control volume and ANC I think you can, I don’t think you can advance to next track or skip. I don’t really need on device tap features so that’s probably user error. 1 tap= nothing is my favorite. That way I don’t skip or pause with my ear accidentallyWhen I bought these, it was like $20. Freaking amazing quality for that price. It fits so snugly in my small ear and gives good sound. The active noise canceling seems to cancel noise when on or off so I can’t really tell when I’m listening to music but works great with nothing playing.The case is adorable???? I saw someone call it a lipstick case and that’s pretty close to how it feels. Slides open and close easy, pieces go in and come out fine, stands up better than a rounded or bulky case. Fits in my bag and is easy to find by touch. I really love these. I have had them 2 months and have needed to charge the case 0 times. I’ll report back if anything goes wrong but now I’m wondering if Ankr makes other stuff. Kitchen gadgets? Spouses?? I mean this quality would be welcome almost anywhere

Finally, Earbuds That Don’t Make Me Miss My AirPods
I’ve been on a quest to find earbuds that actually sound good with an iPhone and—miracle of miracles—I finally found a pair. These noise canceling earbuds do not play around. The sound is crisp, the bass hits, and for once, I don’t have to explain to my friends why my music sounds like it’s coming from the bottom of a soup can.The rechargeable case is clutch. I toss it in my bag and forget about it until my phone is on 2% and somehow the earbuds are still alive, just chilling in their little power cocoon. I’d probably lose one if I didn’t have the case, so honestly, it’s doing emotional labor.The app is actually useful (shockingly rare). You can tweak the treble, bass, and even switch up the “sound type”—which is either science or magic, I’m not asking questions. Customizing the sound for my own weird preferences made me realize how bad my old earbuds really were.Noise canceling is legit—I’ve used these at the gym, on the bus, in the office, and I’m convinced you could stage a minor apocalypse around me and I wouldn’t notice. But, you know, in a safe way.If I had to nitpick… actually, I’m coming up empty. Unless you have an allergy to good audio, these are worth it. They pair perfectly with iPhone, don’t cost as much as selling a kidney, and now I finally have an excuse to pretend I can’t hear people talking to me.

I love it! Ik raad het aan.

Sensational.

Decent sound. Bluetooth works 99% of the time. To me the best thing about these earbuds is how comfortable when trying to sleep. I like to listen to music as I drift-off to sleep and these are great. They have a slim-ish profile and don’t protrude from my ears. Perfect for slide-sleeping with one-side of my head on the pillow.
