Title: Not just for gamers. These headphones pack a killer feature that can be used by anyone
Review: These are not your average true wireless earbuds. In a saturated market of wireless earbuds, these bring a unique feature that opens up many new possibilities of uses that most people might not even know. If you've ever used bluetooth earbuds and noticed that what you were watching or playing wasn't matching up with the sound, then you've experienced audio latency. Bluetooth in its current state is the guilty party that can cause that effect where the lips don't match the voice. Some might not be bothered by this, but once you see it, you can't stop thinking about it. Some hardcore gamers get around this by using 2.4ghz instead of the Bluetooth protocol. 2.4ghz headphones have virtually no latency whatsoever, but require you use a dongle to plug into your device.These Soundcore VR P10 headphones are hybrids with both functions. The dongle allows imperceptibly low latency. But because they are also capable of using the bluetooth protocol, you are able to connect these to both your gaming device and your phone. While gaming or watching videos, if you get a call on your phone, it will automatically lower the volume on your game or video, while prioritizing your call volume. It's a seamless experience.2.4ghz headphones existed for a while, but until recently, they were mostly over-the-ear style. Personally, I can't stand anything on my head for long periods of time due to the pressure and overheating. There are only a handful of in-ear earbuds with 2.4ghz dongles at the time of this review. This one is the ONLY one that has a passthrough charging feature on the dongle itself. If you use a dongle on a device with only one USB-C port, then you'll have to choose between charging or listening. These dongles allow you to do both. With the battery life of devices like the Quest 2, you'll definitely need to do both at the same time.Non-gamers:If you have a phone, tablet, or laptop that you use to watch movies or shows, take zoom calls, or listen to music, as long as it has a USB-C port you can instantly connect these headphones to your device without fumbling around in the bluetooth settings trying to get it to pair. This is immensely helpful if you constantly switch between using a laptop, a tablet, and a phone. Imagine you are watching a movie on a tablet and you get a zoom call on your laptop. Instead of unpairing and repairing, you just slap the dongle in. Additionally, Anker has stated that more dongles will be available for purchase soon, meaning that you can have multiple dongles, each plugged into a device you use often, and just switch via the app. All the while having low latency.PS5:I've tested it with the PS5. It works flawlessly. Instant connection and no noticeable latency. The sound is very immersive and I can easily tell the direction of footsteps in-game. Additionally, these earbuds finally allow you to use wireless headphones with your PS5. Previously, you had to either use over-the-ear style 2.4ghz headphones, or use a wired headphone plugged into your controller. Otherwise the latency would be preposterous. If you use your PS5 as a media player (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.) you'll be able to enjoy private listening with wireless earbuds and have no latency. Pair this with a PS5 remote and now you have one of the best and most powerful "Smart-TVs" with a private listening function. If you live in an apartment and watch movies, you're probably constantly turning down the volume when an explosion or shot rocks you to your core, and then turning it back up because you can barely hear the whisper dialogue in the next scene. With these headphones, you can peacefully watch your movie as intended, while not worrying about cables, latency, or your neighbors getting mad.Steamdeck:Works exactly as you might expect. I have not run into any issues. Passthrough charging works great. If the sound suddenly doesn't work and you see "echo-sink-cancel", then its a bug with the Steamdeck, not the headphones. Restart to fix. Be aware that if you buy the official Steamdeck dock, that there is no USB-C out port on that dock. You may have to buy a USB-C to USB-A adapter for the dongle.Quest 2:These headphones were made for the Meta Quest 2. In VR, if you have any sort of latency, it could make things very disorientating and nausea inducing. These are perfect for having an immersive experience and reducing VR sickness. One cool feature is that if you are using it with the Quest, you can turn down the 2.4ghz signal to prevent interference with your wifi. Since the earbuds are so close to the dongle when you use it with the quest, you don't need the signal to be strong. Also, the quest dies very quickly. These are the only true wireless earbuds with a dongle that lets you charge and listen at the same time. They sound much better than the stock speakers on the Quest 2 and allow you to pinpoint the direction that sounds are coming from. The point of VR is immersion. Audio immersion is just as important as visual immersion.Switch:The passthrough function does not work with a Switch. I believe it's a limitation with the Switch's software. It doesn't seem to allow the one USB-C port to have multiple functions at the same time. The headphones still work beautifully via the dongle, but you won't be able to charge at the same time. Not the fault of the soundcore earbuds though. Maybe it can be patched by a switch software update in the future. If you play in docked mode, maybe try plugging the dongle into a USB-C to USB-A adapter and then into the dock. I have not tried this, but it might work.PC:Not every PC has USB-C ports. Not to worry, I have tested these with a USB-C to USB-A adapter and it works great. If your PC does not have a USB-C port, you will need to buy an adapter separately. Otherwise, all features (volume adjust, low latency) function well.Mac:Works really well. You can even adjust volume with a tap on the earbuds (gesture can be adjusted in the mobile app). Since these are both bluetooth and 2.4ghz, you can have them connected to your phone and MacBook at the same time for the ultimate productivity experience. The sound will come through both depending on which device you are using. Example, Zoom on MacBook to phone call on iPhone automatically.iPad:Also works well. Passthrough charging is quite important since the iPad only has one USB-C port. If you game on your iPad, you'll appreciate it.ChromeOS/Chromebook:Works fine but currently there is a weird bug in ChromeOS with USB-C headphones. The volume will adjust normally up to around 50% volume where the loudness suddenly blasts your ears at 51% volume. Be careful with Chromebooks until they patch this. Keep it under 50% or test it past 50% with them out of your ears.**Cons**With certain devices (Switch, Some Tablets), these headphones are a bit limited. The passthrough charging feature won't work unless your device allows that USB-C port to multitask. So be aware of your devices functionality if you're buying this to use with a specific device.With certain devices (Switch, PS5), adjusting the volume via tapping the earbuds don't work. This is again a limitation of the software of those devices, not the earbuds. On the PS5, it is a painful multi-step process to adjust the volume in their menus. Hopefully a software patch will fix this as USB-C headphones become more popular. On mobile devices like Android and iOS tablets and phones, PCs, and MacBooks, it works just fine.The dongle is kept in the top part of the case via a magnet. It's very easy to put it in, but kind of a pain to remove the dongle since it's recessed so far in. If you have bigger hands, this might irritate you. I suggest taking the earbuds out first before trying to take the dongle out.With the exception of some devices, the headphones work amazingly and sound great. They solve a very niche but very annoying problem. Get them, you won't regret it.

Title: Not just for VR
Review: I bought this (with a USB A to C adapter) to use with my Valve Index Headset. They sound great for casual gameplay, combat, and especially for music / rhythm games (with some and rather small audio delay adjustments). I also sometimes use these out of VR and for normal PC use. Charging speed is pretty standard for most wireless earbuds like these. Battery life is also pretty standard, not world-class, but fairly decent enough for my needs. Comfort is great for my weird, multi-sized ears. Overall, great earbuds, great price.

Title: Pretty good for quest 2 & 3
Review: If Bluetooth audio f-ing worked on the quest headsets, I would use my AirPods, which are better than these in basically every way. But because I have to use these, Iâm glad they work pretty well. The fit is just okay, they do slide out of my ears a bit when playing games like BeatSaber or Blade & Sorcery. The max volume is not very loud at all, but it is loud enough for my purposes. The dongle has a spot that it magnetically attaches to in the case, but itâs basically impossible to get out without throwing the case around. Donât put the dongle in the case! Battery life is pretty good. Iâve never actually gotten them to die yet. The app to update the firmware and control what the interactions do on the side of the earbuds is fine. The lighting is unnecessary, but doesnât really take away from anything either.

Title: Easily Fall Out of Your Ears
Review: These are ok sounding when you can get them to stay in place and the volume high enough. The stems on these a too short which means the ear tip will not push into the ear canal but rather just sit against the ear canal. With nothing else to hold them in, they always feel loose and with too much movement while in VR, they will fall out or distract you into thinking they are about to fall out.I have a pair of Sony ear buds that sound 10x better, having a much better base, mid and high ranges. Especially that base, these have very little which is not helped by the fact that they don't fit in the ear properly.I have uploaded a couple of pictures comparing the size to my Sony WF-1000XM3 ear buds which currently sell for a similar price. For just audio, they are superior in every way. For gaming and latency, I really don't know but I have not yet tried them. Looking at the pictures it's easy to see how much shorter the stems are on these. The Sony ear buds fit snuggly which keeps them in place and the audio is enhanced with their proper placement.My Quest 3 warns me when increasing the volume on these because it thinks the volume is at a dangerous level and yet these are barely making any sound. Is that because of the electronics or the stem shortness or a combination of both, I don't know. But I am going to try my Sony's out the next time I play and see if they work fine or if the have latency issues. If they do, I will look for one of the Anker competitors for my next pair.I wish I had not missed the return period as these are just not up to the usual Anker standards.

Review: When I went looking for some Bluetooth earbuds specifically to replace my broken Oculus headphones, I went through many of these "low latency" gaming buds in my search... I'll save you the trouble: Don't bother, they all suck. The lag went from painful to ridiculous. What makes these different? The USB receiver removes the lag, all of it. No Bluetooth required. Plug it into your Quest? Works. PS5? Works. Steam Deck? Works. PC? Works. XBOX? Not so much, but I'm okay with that.The sound quality is decent, but not amazing. An EQ is available, but requires a phone and an app to set up. A Soundcore account is available for cloud storage of your presets, but thankfully not required for app usage. It also displays battery percentage for each bud, something that many of the others didn't. No drivers are required, everything I connected it to worked without issue.The battery does not last the projected six hours using headphones and mic but charges fast (15 - 40 mins). The case will charge your buds another 2 times without the USB power connected. I'm not keen on this due to possible overcharging and killing your battery sooner. Also, you need the app to see your current battery level. With a set of three lights on each bud, it would have been a no-brainer to utilize them for indication but alas, that's a missed opportunity.You can buy a separate USB dongle on it's own to connect to multiple devices without having to plug and unplug, but it's currently not available in the Canadian Amazon store. A USB-C connection for the dongle makes sense, but not including an C to A converter feels like an omission if you can't dedicate a port strictly to the Soundcore.Overall the Soundcore beats out buds 2 and 3 times their cost for utility and usage. The sound may not be as impressive, but at least you won't be waiting 100+ms to hear it.

Review: After trying both the SteelSeries Arctis 7P and Sony Pulse 3D for my PS5, I found neither to be satisfactory. Despite the Arctis 7Pâs popularity, I believe they are overrated and donât live up to the hype. The Pulse 3D performed better in comparison, but neither pair could match the comfort and convenience Iâve grown accustomed to with AirPods.Thatâs when I decided to try the Soundcore earbuds, and theyâve proven to be almost perfect for my needs. If you prefer in-ear earbuds over over-ear headphones, these are an excellent option for gaming on the PS5. They offer incredibly low latency, and the sound quality is outstanding.However, there is one significant drawback: the battery life. While the case holds a decent charge, the earbuds themselves only last for about two hours of continuous use. If the built-in LED lights are left on, the battery life can drop to just over an hour. Thankfully, there is an option to turn off the lights, which helps extend the usage time.Overall, I think these Soundcore earbuds provide excellent value, especially considering their sound quality and low latency performance. I did notice they were available at AED 199 during a sale, but even at AED 323, they remain a good deal for what they offer.And the style goes with the PS5 aesthetics.

Review: Whilst I mostly bought this for the same reason as most other people, I did find another use that surprised me - whilst plugged into my Macbook, I realised the latency was so low that I could actually use it for some very basic music creation tasks!Hooked up my audio interface on a different USB port and plugged my guitar in, and the playback through the headphones is almost as low latency as just playing through a wired headset!I've since added a wireless plug for my guitar and now I can get fully expressive without wires, also making the whole setup far less messy and more portable.My ONLY criticism at this point are as follows:1. Whilst you CAN use 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections at the same time, it swaps between the two, instead of allowing them both to play at the same time. Would have loved to see separate audio levels between the two in the app. Not sure if this is a hardware or software limitation though!2. I would also love to be able to buy additional adapters! It's frustrating that this is a possibility, but the additional ones aren't unavailable.

Review: I bought these earbuds for my Oculus/Meta VR Quest 2, and they work well with no audio latency, which is crucial for my rhythm and fitness apps. I also use them as Bluetooth earbuds with my PC and phone, making them very versatile.Pros: Works with multiple devices Good sound quality Customizable LED lightingCons: Smooth case may slip from your hand when opening Battery life could be longer Occasionally, the left earbud won't connect and requires resettingOverall, I'm happy with the purchase despite these minor issues.
