The $99.99 Anker Soundcore VR P10 earphones sound like they are made for VR headsets because of their name. They are made to work with the Meta Quest 2, but they’re really just a flexible pair of true wireless earphones with customizable lighting, a charging case that holds a USB-C transmitter (and Bluetooth connectivity), and clear, crisp sound.
Their biggest flaw is that they don’t have enough deep bass. Razer’s over-ear Barracuda X headphones (which cost $99.99) have a boom mic, more bass, and better voice performance if you want a better gaming experience. If you want true wireless earphones and the lack of a USB-C transmitter isn’t a deal-breaker, the $99.95 JBL Tune 130NC earphones have a strong bass and decent active noise cancellation.
Anker Soundcore VR P10 review: Design
The VR P10 aren’t very creative because they use a version of the Apple AirPods’ stemmed earbud design, which has been used by many others before and after them. More importantly, the VR P10 gets a lot of praise for how comfortable and light it feels to wear, even for long listening sessions.
The buds’ batteries died long before my ears got tired, which is exactly what you’d want from gaming headphones. The design of the VR P10 is also good in other ways. They aren’t exactly made for sports, but they are secure enough for fast walks around the neighborhood. In the Soundcore app, the controls are responsive and can be changed to fit your needs. You can buy this earbuds from its official website.
Anker Soundcore VR P10 review: Sound Quality and comfort
The buds have a moderate soundstage that worked well with most of the VR games we tried. The sound is clear and detailed enough to tell the difference between footsteps and background noise. Directional sound was convincing enough, but most of the credit goes to how the headset processed the sound.
Explosions, gunshots, and other similar sounds don’t have much low-end impact, though. There is sub-bass, but everything between that and the mid-range felt a little vague. The Soundcore app’s bass boost feature helps to make things a little more clear, but there’s still a fuzzy quality to the sound that you don’t get with more expensive gaming headphones.
Anker Soundcore VR P10 review: Connection
The connection also doesn’t allow for data transmission, but VR Link users can just plug the dongle into their computer and then connect their VR headset to their computer separately. Anyone who doesn’t like moving dongles from one device to another can buy more than one dongle for the VR P10. Through the Soundcore app, you can change how you connect to different dongles.
Anker Soundcore VR P10 review: Performance
The earbuds sound great and are great for playing Meta Quest 2 because they have very low latency when using the dongle. We also like how easy they are to use. You just plug the dongle into the headset’s USB-C port, and sound starts coming out of the earbuds. No need to dig through the “Settings” menu to find the Bluetooth section and then go through a pairing process.
Anker Soundcore VR P10 review: Battery Life
The buds are supposed to last for 6 hours, and the case is supposed to hold an extra 18 hours of charge, for a total of 24 hours. The tips of the buds are made of silicone and fit right into the ear canal. Anker’s box comes with three different sizes of tips. The white and silver colors of the buds give them a soft and elegant look.
Final Words
If you have a virtual reality headset, the Soundcore VR P10 makes a lot of sense. These plug-and-play headphones are great for games consoles and handhelds because they are easy to connect and have no latency.
But not everyone will like the flashy design and RGB lighting, especially if you just want one pair of headphones you can use everywhere. The fact that they don’t have ANC might also keep them from becoming regulars on your commute.

FAQS
How do I use Soundcore VR P10?
Press and hold the button on the charging case for more than 10 seconds, or until the indicator light on the charging case turns red and flashes 3 times. This means that the VR P10 has been reset successfully.
Is Soundcore a good brand?
Anker’s Soundcore brand has shown over and over again that it makes great sound products at great prices. Its headphones, speakers, and earbuds may not be the best you can buy, but they are almost as good as gear from more well-known brands that costs much more.
Why is my VR headset not clear?
Make sure that the headset is on correctly. The bottom edge of the headset should rest on your cheekbones, and the standard strap should cup the back of your head. You should be able to bend down without worrying that the headset will fall off. If you hold the headset too close to your face, the image will be blurry.
