soundcore Wireless Earbuds, A1 Bluetooth Earbuds, Powerful Customized Sound, 35H Playtime, Wireless Charging, USB-C Fast Charge, IPX7 Waterproof, Button Control, Commute, Sports

I've had loads of earphones & headphones over the years. I work professionally in the audio world so use everything from custom in ears to high end open and closed back headphones, so feel somewhat qualified to give an opinion. Fit: Can't complain here. Various size tips and wings to achieve the correct fit. The tips being the part that go into your ear canal, the wings fit over the body of the earphone and help hold it in the concha of the ear. They are made of a soft to touch silicone. I've always preferred foam ear tips for comfort and fit, but they gather dirt, breakdown more quickly and are difficult to clean. For a pair of daily earphones the silicone is a more sensible choice. I've only had them in an hour so can't comment on long term comfort. Keep in mind you will want to spend 5 or 10 minutes trying different combos of tips and wing to find a good fit and seal. Creating a good seal between the tip and the ear canal will absolutely transform the bass level and overall volume. The body/wing part are more for comfort and to ensure they stay in place. Sound: I was pleasantly surprised at this price point. Not overally toppy, good bass, plenty of volume (make sure your phone/device is sending full level, and then control the level of the earphones themselves). I think there's about 18 "clicks" of volume settings on the headphones. For music I have it set at around 9 (half way). A little bit of distortion with SUPER strong bass but nothing bad. Stereo image is decent. I can't really see it getting better at this price. There are 3 EQ settings. The soundcore signature, bass booster & acoustic. It doesn't tell you what you're on, so you kind of have to figure it out. Clicking from bass booster to acoustic is the most obvious so you know the next setting will be back at soundcore signature. I'd say the soundcore signature sits somewhere between acoustic and bass booster sound wise. Isolation is pretty good for a pair of earphones without active cancellation. Plenty of isolation for me. I don't like to be completely detached from my surroundings so although i've given it 3 stars from a isolation performance perspective, for me personally it's a 5! Features: I turned them on, my phone found them and connected straight away. They magnet into the charging case and light up to show you've seated them properly. Take them out of the case and they reconnect if left on. Front of the case shows the battery left (temporarily) when putting them away. Wireless charging by putting the case on a wireless charging pad works well. Value for money: High scores on this. I was getting ready to spend 100+ on a pair, but as it's really only for commutes and general listening I decided to have a punt on these. No regrets so far!

Took a while to get due to Amazon loosing deliveries but finally arrived. Took the little box out, plugged in to charge to find it was fully charged - awesome. Theres a little plastic tab under each bud in the box so that they are not continually trying to charge before being sold which is a good idea. Pulled these out and the buds were fully charged too - even better! Pulled out the buds which make a nice little sound to say they are turning on as you place them in your ears - they already have the wings and an ear rubber on each. Went to bluetooth setting on my phone, clicked on the buds and they connected straight away. Popped a song on and and was impressed with the result. Went to supermarket, which is where I always use some kind of headphones, and they connected straight to my phone as soon as I popped them in my ears. They're reasonably comfortable and found that the fit was perfect straight put of the box. Had no issues all round the store. Sound quality is pretty good, bass is nice - not too over powering but its there unlike most other buds I've had. Now don't get me wrong, they're not Bose quality and that's not to be expected for this price but I'm more than happy with them. Not tried the wireless charging yet due to them being fully charged but they'll get another test tomorrow as I'll be working in a noisy equipment room so fingers crossed for no more tinnitus from the noise if a thousand fans running. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase so far and will post an update if I encounter any problems.

I bought these ear buds to replace some more expensive ones I had lost! After researching my different options for ages I landed on these. I love the brand, they have never let me down with value for money tech that works well and this is no exception! The pros: price point is excellent for the quality of ear buds these are! They came with different size wings to make sure they fit snuggly! included a charging case which helps me to not loose an individual bud! The sound quality is very good for the price, there are better sounding buds out there but they run at hundreds of pounds! I’ve worn these out in the rain multiple times, dropped them and been fairly heavy handed in looking after them, they simply refuse to quit! The cons: sometimes the wing can slip over the metal charging disk on the bud, you really have to make sure these snap into the case with direct contact between the bud and the charging case, this seems to mainly effect the left ear bud for some reason. They don’t seem to charge up as quick as my previous buds, but for the money I’m not too fussed. Overall I think these headphones do exactly what they promise to! They are comfortable in the ear (more so than my previous other brand expensive ones) they are well made and sturdy and the sound quality is very good for the money you pay. I would highly recommend these over the more expensive named brand buds!

I have had a few pairs of wireless earbuds but am a creature of habit once I find a good set I always buy that make and model, but my JBL wireless earphones got lost and I was gutted, so took the Plunge and ordered these was a bit jubiouss about them for the price because they was on offer read all the reviews and there were some good and some bad can't please everyone I suppose. I have had these a few weeks now and been in constant use everywhere I go walk the dog take the kids to school gym you name it I've done it and these ain't missed a beat, connected first time without issue I know some take a while to but these easy as, I was worried about the fit of them because I've only got little ears and even my other ones come loose in my ear from time to time but these are a fantastic fit once in they do not move and the sound OMG my JBL ones were loud but these are so much louder and you cannot hear a thing once they are in my ear. So you get all different shapes and size earplugs and wings in the box to suit different ears and not difficult to change either, battery life is great I've had them a few weeks and I've had to charge them once I would highly recommend these earbuds trust me you won't be disappointed I am so happy I might even buy a couple more sets just incase I lose these ones and they discontinue them like they did my other ones but 100% worth the money Great whoever is thinking of buying don't doubt yourself just buy them you won't go wrong.

I’ve had sony wf-1000xm3 earbuds, and they were great in terms of quality but not super comfortable, and I always had the feeling they were going to fall out. Then I moved to AirPods Pro’s, but the audio quality was severely lacking in my opinion. No bass response at all in comparison to most other earbuds. I’m coming from Bose wired earphones, so I like my bass. Also AirPods wriggle out of my ears quite quickly - I have small ear canals so I find it hard to keep buds in my ears. So I tried Soundcore Life A1’s and they were good sounding but really uncomfortable for my ears. Plus I didn’t like the button presses. That was uncomfortable for me too. Put pressure on my ears where they were already hurting. So finally, these JBL’s pretty much were the best of everything for me. Great sound, comfortable, good battery life (better than AirPods), and they stay in my ear. I can wear them comfortably for a few hours before my ears become fatigued. I like the array of different earbuds they provide too. The JBL signature sound is top notch. It’s made me consider buying other JBL gadgets - I didn’t realise how good they were in the audio game for their price points. Seem pretty legit!! I haven’t found anything that works so seamlessly as the AirPods with iOS, but for me, sound and comfort will always win! Doesn’t matter if I have to keep disconnecting and connecting between my phone, tablet and laptop. It’s worth it for me!

Sound quality: A++ Functionality: A Battery: B+ Structure: C- The flaws: As some people have said, the rubber wings feel awkward to get on right and fall off sometimes. IT makes it difficult to connect to the case too. It's not so bad though that it causes a problem with the headphones staying i nthe head. Also, annoyingly, if the pod runs out of charge, it completely disconnects the headphones meaning they'll then turn on and connect to your device. There have been times I've woken up and turned on my headphones only to find they've been on all night and are now low on charge. The headphones charge lasts pretty decently long an amount of time. They're pretty reliable. My last headphones did not last as long as these ones, but the pod for my old one lasted longer (and didn't disconnect the headphoens when flat as this one does) But I'm also bad at remembering to charge the pod, so... The fit is really comfortable and does not easily fall out. As mentioned before though the wings can sometiems come off if you're not careful how you pull the headphones out. But I can easily wear these headphones for hours and hours with no pain or discomfort (which my last headphones would). This may vary depending on ear shape. Try a different size of plug or wings if you are experiencing discomfort. The product comes with a few sizes of each. As for sound quality; absolutely fantastic. They sound incredible. This is important to me but not often mentioned; how the headphones are CONTROLLED Single pressing left lowers volume. Single pressing right changes volume. (here's where it gets odd) Double tap left goes to *next* song, double tap right pauses and plays. Which means, at least as far as I've been able to see, there is no way to track to previous songs. The case and headphones both feel like good quality material and have not shown any signs of wear aside from some light scratching on the pod since I've got them. Overall; Easy to control though no backtracking. Very comfortable fit though wings can sometimes be finniky. Easily stays in and doesn't easily fall out. Pod is easy to use if the wings aren't causing it to be difficult to fit them in. Sound quality is absolutely fantastic and setup is easy.

I ordered the Life A1s for £27.99 in November '21 - the clamshell case started to crack at around 6 months of ownership. Around a year into ownership, the earbuds would intermittently not switch off when put back in the case, and would stay connected to the phone via Bluetooth. This would run down the battery in the case, then the batteries in the earbuds to 0%. As of early July '23, despite showing full battery on the case it needs to be plugged in to actually charge the earbuds. I've never had a full 8 hours of usage out of them, despite the 9-hour claim. They seem to be at least water-resistant, I haven't worn them underwater but they've been in my ears out in the rain plenty of times. I highly doubt they're IPX7 looking at the build quality, more like IPX4. I'd say they were worth £28 for the volume levels, sound quality and mic quality, but not the £40 they now cost. The mic is very noticeably worse than my phone's microphone. The sound quality is above average for earbuds. The fitment is excellent, and they're the best earbuds with regards to actually staying in my ears and being comfortable. The passive sound isolation is fairly good - they definitely take the edge off harsher, louder noises like circular saws, hammer drills, impact drivers etc. and make the noise level comfortable. If they were still available for around the £30 mark, I'd have given them 4 stars, but the unwarranted bump in price by £12 (42% increase in price) has soured my perception slightly. TLDR, they're alright.

I will aim to review these ear buds in a couple of months once I’ve had a good bit of time to get used to the actual sound itself and got more familiar with the actual controls for volume etc. Hence only a 4 star rating as not 100% as yet. No idea about what noise cancellation actually means but IMO a scoring of 4 means I can hear through them fine even in a shop for example with their music blaring away! Sound quality and volume control are woth 5 stars IMO. The instruction manual is straight forward and easy to reference any aspect of the controls. I would recommend these as opposed to spending a mere fortune on branded names. I have a collection of Bluetooth headphones and Bluetooth earbuds (that are wired together) and most being decent brands. But this is the first set of not so well know branded 100% wireless earbuds, which I got for £32, cheapest set of earphones I’ve got for past few years. Walking: Living next to the sea I’m blessed with a beautiful bit of scenery along the cliffed coastline. I have tried on many occasions with headphones, Bluetooth earbuds, you name it I’ve tried it and never found it meets the views so always just turn my sound off. However, I have done a few walks listening to my favourite music with these earbuds on and have never felt the need to switch them off or fiddle about with them as can work the controls easy enough and the controls actually work. Have had lots of decent or rather stupidly high priced makes of headsets in the past and I just switch them off due to either the sound being affected by wind/rain etc, staying on my head, unable to use the controls properly .. the list goes on so very surprised that a complete wireless set of earbuds have kept the sound well and have never fallen out! Doing stuff in the garage: Working on my motorbike just now in the garage, fairly secluded so have the ability to use an old sound bar from my tv. However when it gets a bit later or at the weekend when folk are around I’ve been using these ear buds in the garage. They stay attached to my ears all the time and don’t even notice I’ve got a headset on and they do not restrict me doing any physical work. Public Transport: Being a proud owner of a free bus pass I venture into town couple times a week for a wander round shops and some pub grub. Again never feels like I’ve got a headset on! A quick tap on a bud pauses the music when I speak to the bus driver, then off I go to sit down and listen to sounds again. Very easy, nothing dangling round my neck or fumbling about to hit a pause button. When in town I again physically forget I've got a headset on and again easy to pause when I go in a shop or bump into a mate and so on. So some examples where I have used these buds so far. Ever since I bought them they just come with me as they are very easy to carry about. Previously I’ve had earphones/headsets hanging all over the place and more than likely to just not bother with any music and just left headsets at home. The batteries seem to last the duration of around 4 hours. Maybe more as after a few hours I do put them in the case for a bit so can comment on the longevity apart from they seem to last as they have never run out. Overall, on the sound aspect, they are very good and certainly in respect to sound and comfort they beat over the ear headphones and the ‘wired’ ear buds I’ve had in the past ( done a comparison recently with a few old ones I have kicking about... ). I have not mastered the earbuds EQ device as yet, just use controls on my phone just now. They are good for staying in my ears, which surprised me to be honest. Very comfy and minimal feeling of having a set of earphones on! Very happy with this purchase as never had such stability in a set of headphones ranging from the quality of sound to how well they comfortably stay on my heid :-)

En el gimnasio, a veces, hacen mucho ruído las pesas. Éstos auriculares no los anulan por completo, pero los bajan un poco más que otros intrauditivos que he tenido, gracias a que se mantienen sujetos. También es cierto que les puse unas almohadillas que parecen ser viscoelásticas. Las moldeo antes de meterlas en los oídos humedeciéndolas cuidadosamente con el hidroalcohol que ahora hay en todas partes. Esto permite un acople perfecto que, al secarse, sirve de pegamento ligero. En cuanto al sonido, he de señalar que hay instrumentos que nunca había oído con tanta claridad. El otro día, una canción emitía un sonido que rebotaba como un eco. Era la primera vez que lo notaba en una canción cien veces oída en el mismo móvil. Tuve que reiniciarlos, ya que no funcionaban al apretar como dicen las intrucciones. Ni bajaba el volumen ni pasaba a la siguiente canción. Para ello hay que colocarlos en caja y presionarlos hasta que los led parpadeen, creo recordar que era así. Creo que el uso de los toques para bajar o subir el volumen es complicado y, accidentalmente, durante el trabajo con guantes, en vez de avanzar rápido dos minutos en el podcast, o a la siguiente canción si escucho música, lo que sucede es que sube el volumen. Cuando te llaman, sólo necesitas usar un toque. Pero si quieres pausar o avanzar a la siguiente canción, las órdenes se dan con dos, lo que evita órdenes accidentales al apretar sin querer una vez ajustando el auricular, por ejemplo. Al principio pensabe que, si no estás realizando una llamada, el software debería saberlo y admitir un toque, como hacen todos los bluetooth que había usado, pero ahor me parece cómodo y seguro. Comprado en octubre del 2021, justo hace un año, lo uso en el trabajo limpiando con agua durante casi cuatro horas; pero también en el gimnasio otras cuatro horas a la semana. Nunca me quedé sin batería. Estéticamente están bien. Sobresalen un poco pero, como son redondeados, no quedan mal, como otros con los que pareces Frankestein. Al cabo de 12 meses, le concedo las cinco merecidas estrellas. Porque pienso comprar otro par para no tener que cambiarlos de bolsa según a dónde voy. Se me puede olvidar y no tengo repuesto. Llevo 3 años con ellos. Un día me quedaron en el bolsillo de la chaqueta y se metieron en la lavadora. Como estaban encendidos, se estropearon para siempre. A uno de los auriculares se le despegó el botón. Usé un pegamento rápido y parece que lo arreglé. Gracias por el útil! Si te lo ha parecido. ¿Te ha servido para algo? Gracias.

Lost my right earbud due to an accident on my ebike so decided to get this one which is really awesome. Lightweight and fit snuggly inside my ear without fearing it might fall off under any circumstances. The only downside to it is the volume. I like it loud while riding my ebike but when I put the volume up to max it didn't really satisfy me so I had to install a booster app to crank it up a little bit. Problem solved but am not sure if this will damage the earbud in the long run.

Normaal gesproken laat ik niet vaak reviews achter, maar deze wilde ik graag delen. Voorheen nog nooit van dit merk gehoord, maar ik ben erg blij dat ik de tijd heb genomen om niet de eerste beste aanbieding achterna te rennen. Ik heb altijd moeite gehad met oortjes vinden die passen, lekker (en blijven) zitten en waar goed geluid uit komt - vooral draadloos, want ze vallen altijd uit m'n oren of maken me 'doof' omdat m'n gehoorgangen snel verstopt worden door de dopjes. De juiste maat vinden is een hel. Modellen zoals Apple's AirPods (naast dat het een achterlijk bedrag is) vallen vrijwel gelijk uit m'n oren. Echter, bij deze heb ik nergens last van! De oordoppen, in plaats van dat ze in je gehoorgang zitten, liggen praktisch gezien op de gehoorgang en onderdrukken ze 90% van het externe geluid. De 'anker' stukjes zijn ook perfect, want bij veel beweging blijven ze gewoon zitten. Je krijgt in totaal 5 verschillende sets/maten doppen en 3 verschillende sets/maten ankers - ruim genoeg om de juiste maat te vinden. Het geluid is naar mijn mening ook echt erg goed, vooral voor een product in deze prijscategorie! Met drie verschillende modi (balans, spraak en bass) heb ik meer dan genoeg om verschillende media fantastisch te laten klinken. Muziek met veel bass bijvoorbeeld komt goed tot z'n recht. De batterij duur kan ik nog niet heel veel over zeggen, maar eerste indruk is ook wederom heel goed! Ik wilde in ieder geval alvast m'n mening delen, omdat ik onwijs blij ben met deze aankoop - echt een verassing. Dikke aanrader om te kopen dus!!
