The Anker Life P3 are great for getting around and going on trips. Because the ANC can be changed, they can block out both low-frequency sounds like bus and plane engines and higher-frequency sounds like people talking. They fit well enough that you can wear them for long days on the go, and they are small enough to fit in your pockets. With the ANC on, they only last a little more than five hours, but their case has some extra charges.

Where to get Anker Soundcore Life P3 Earbuds?
The Life P series isn’t known for how pretty it is. The Life P3 would have been better with a makeover, but instead it has the same unibody design with a long stem and simple details. These buds look more like the Liberty Air 2 Pro than the Life P2, but they have touch panels that stick out and larger mic housings for “boosted call quality.” The Soundcore logo is printed nicely at the top, and the shiny matte finish makes it look very classy.
With its Superior Sleep feature, Anker is trying to make you fall asleep. You can choose from a variety of sounds, most of which come from nature, and they will all play together to help you fall sleep. If you have trouble sleeping, you should give it a try. The only thing is that if you sleep on your side, the earbuds might not be the most comfortable thing to wear. Set a timer, and the sounds will only play for a certain amount of time to save battery life.
The controls on these headphones are easy to use and work well when you touch them. So that you don’t accidentally touch the buds when you’re putting them in, a single tap doesn’t do anything right out of the box. The controls feel like they work, and you can hear beeps when the commands are registered. If you want, you can turn off the beeps in the Anker Soundcore app. Still, the controls are a little hard to figure out at first.
Also, putting them in the case is the only way to turn them off. On the plus side, you can change how the controls work in the app that goes with them so that it fits your needs better. With ANC on, Anker says the battery will last for 6 hours. In our tests, the feature made the buds last about 5.5 hours, which is close enough. When ANC is turned off, the playtime can go up to 7 hours, but volume, streaming, and other special features can cut it by 30 minutes to an hour.
There’s nothing to complain about here, especially since this is longer than the 5 hours that the standard AirPods last. Not to mention that the ANC playback time (5.5 hours) is longer than that of the AirPods Pro. With a full charge, you should be able to listen to music for a few days.
