Customer Reviews
Fits perfectly with great quality sound and battery life. Thumbs up. Surely intend to get another one for my girlfriend.
Overall a good earphones for the price, the controls are weird ( double tap for pause, left tap to next song, and so on)
Four stars
It is my first day using Anker products and here is my feedback
A. Pros
1. The case and the buds are wellmade and doesn't look like a cheap pair, compared to my Jabra ellite, it is way better.
2. Sound quality is good and I didn't fave any humming noise so far.
3. The tip and wing are separate, and this is good feature as you will be able to fit the buds to your specific ear shape.
4. The case supports wireless charging whixh again is a good feature for the price.
5. It is IPX7 means it is splash and dust proof, which is awesome.
6. Price is good for the quality
Cons
1. No aware mood!, for me Jabra elite3 has this feature and it is really good and safe if you intend to wear those pairs outdoors.
2. Not on soundcore application. Comeon I have pairs at really lower price range and they have their own app!
3. You have to memorize the shortcuts of the buttons
Overall, it is good for its price range. It is my first time trying anker, and so far I like it.
Updated: Company sent a replacement free of charge so I am raising my review to 5 stars for customer service. This unit doesn't have the logo issues.
I purchased these because I didn’t feel comfortable carrying around $250 airpod pros and possibly losing them. For the price these are fine, the noise cancelling is good and it fits ok in the ear. The sound is good but not as amazing as they say, my pair of Sony ch-700n sound much better than these. I have two problems with these earbuds. First, sometimes you can hear a small static/white noise sound which is kind of annoying when listening to music, this only happens sometimes and not all the time. Second, the logos on the earbuds are uneven as seen in the picture, If somebody got really close to you and saw the earbud logos they’d see they are uneven. Time will tell how long these last.
The Anker Life A1's are a nice budget option that while great, could have a few minor QoL updates to make these a go-to recommendation.
Pros:
-Physical button controls
-Decent sound for the money, mids are fine, the bass is okay, upper is a bit lacklustre but not terrible
-Compact case
-Reasonable battery life
-Useful extra tips and pieces for the buds
-A practical manual that's worth reading through
-Noise cancelling is great for this price range
-The magnets keeping in the buds are good, these aren't falling out anytime soon.
Cons:
-Case is a bit on the cheap side construction wise
-Hinge of the case feels a bit weak, nothing terrible but something to keep in mind
-Trying to add the larger black bits back onto the buds is a nightmare and can prevent them from charging (This was especially a terrible thing to an otherwise nice product)
-Long-term comfort could be a bit better, even with the extra tips offered.
Other:
-The case can get a bit hot when charging wirelessly (not a major problem but just something I noticed)
-EQ modes don't have a major impact, nor can one tell when a specific setting is selected
-USB C was an excellent choice of connector and a welcomed surprise at this price point
-Microphone is fine but nothing to write home about
