Anker Soundcore Life A3i Evaluation
Sound Quality… Powerful & Customizable Sound with 10mm Driver
Despite being a compact model, it is equipped with a 10mm driver. It delivers powerful bass.

Also, you can customize the equalizer in the Soundcore app.
You can freely adjust the output from high to low.
Mr. GadgetI personally like the Soundcore app more than other manufacturers’ apps!
It’s also a nice feature to be able to adjust the equalizer to your liking.
Codec support is normal for this price range.
The supported codecs are SBC and AAC.
Mr. GadgetWell, that’s normal for this price range.
There are no particular problems when watching YouTube videos or listening to music normally.
If you are particular about sound quality, you should buy more expensive earbuds that support LDAC, etc.
The characteristics of each codec are shown in the table below.
| Codec | Features |
|---|---|
| SBC | The most standard codec. Basically, all devices support it. Sound quality and latency are standard, with no particular advantages or disadvantages. |
| AAC | Often used in Apple products. Android 8.0 or later generally supports it. Better sound quality and lower latency than SBC. |
| aptX | Mainly adopted by Android. Better sound quality and lower latency than SBC and AAC. |
| aptX LL | LL stands for Low Latency. Even lower latency than aptX. Sound quality is the same as aptX, but latency is less than 0.04 seconds, achieving ultra-low latency. |
| aptX HD | Supports high-resolution sound quality. Slightly higher latency than aptX. |
| aptX Adaptive | An aptX HD codec that has been stabilized and has lower latency. Changing from a fixed bit rate to a variable bit rate has made processing more stable and reduced latency. |
| LDAC | A high-quality codec developed by Sony. The best sound quality among the ones introduced so far. Android 8.0 or later generally supports it. Higher latency than SBC. |
You can find explanations about codecs and other wireless earbuds in this article.

Noise Canceling is Good Value! The Most Affordable in Anker!
The “Soundcore Life A3i” is currently Anker’s most affordable noise-canceling truly wireless earbuds.
The noise-canceling performance is not as good as the higher-end models, but it’s well done for this price.
Mr. GadgetAnker’s noise canceling at this price is a great deal!
Ambient Sound Mode… Supported
It supports ambient sound mode in the same way as noise canceling.
Multipoint Connection Supported! Super Convenient!
The “Soundcore Life A3i” supports multipoint connection and can be connected to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
You don’t have to switch connections, for example, you can answer a smartphone call while watching a YouTube video on a tablet.
Ms. GadgetThis is super convenient!
Mr. GadgetMultipoint support is really great!
Playback Time… Quite Long
The “Soundcore Life A3i” has a maximum playback time of up to 10 hours with the earbuds fully charged in normal mode, and up to 40 hours with the included charging case. Also, a 10-minute charge provides up to 2 hours of music playback.
Mr. GadgetThe maximum continuous playback time of up to 10 hours with just the earbuds is really long!
It’s a little shorter when using noise canceling mode, but it’s still on the long side.
The continuous playback time with the charging case is also up to 40 hours, which is a big advantage of the “Soundcore Life A3i”.
- The listed price and the actual price may differ, so please be sure to check the final price when purchasing.
The price is especially likely to change during sales. Please be aware of this.
The earbuds are small and lightweight.
The “Soundcore Life A3i” weighs approximately 4.7g per earbud.
If you’re worried about wearing them for a long time, the weight of the earbuds is an important consideration, but 4.7g is no problem at all.
Peace of Mind with Anker Brand
Recently, the market for truly wireless earbuds has grown. Various manufacturers are competing and releasing many products.
As the market for truly wireless earbuds grows, there are more and more unknown Chinese manufacturers releasing products, and products without PSE marks are being sold, creating a chaotic situation.
In such a situation, the well-known brand Anker provides a great sense of security.
Mr. GadgetSince earbuds contain batteries,
I don’t recommend using strange manufacturers that you don’t know.
The fact that it comes with an 18-month warranty + 6-month extension warranty for members is also a reassuring point.
Mr. GadgetAnker has reliable support.
When an Anker product broke down in the past, it was exchanged immediately because it was within the warranty period!
