Anker Soundcore TWS Comparison: Space A40 v Life P3 v A3i

I need a TWS system, they are just so darn convenient. After a couple of years of use, my trusty Sony XM4 TWS have died. I thought the Sonys were pretty good, but I figured I’d try something new this time around. Soundcore by Anker has a bunch of different TWS sets, and they are pretty well reviewed on Amazon. I thought I’d try a few and see if they were any good. Well, at least one set is pretty decent.

Liberty 4, Liberty 4. The secret to all Soundcore products is to put them in Acoustic or Piano mode in the EQ settings.

[@sammyocean8896]

I actually have the Acoustic setting set on my Space A40’s and it’s perfect. Love soundcore products

[@newfnshow031]

acoustic sounds great for real

[@Lucca_Valenta]

I use classical its rlly good on my space a40s

[@Mont3000]

wow, first time seeing a mic test like this. Awesome, picking up an A40 today from Walmart it was on sale for 70$. And your right, the mic is nothing to write home about but good enough.

[@scaudioav]

I really enjoy the Liberty 3 Pro. Pretty much my daily go to for quick grab wireless buds.

[@SPASIVAFF]

I got the a40 4 months ago, coming from p20i at first I did not like the bass, like at all because it was very weak from p20i which was dissapointing, but then I got my hands on the P3 which was amazing on the bass side and the microphone, later on I searched on reddit about the a40 and discovered that my firmware update had an issue, I reached out to soundcore and they fixed it, eventhough it's not as close as the p3 bass but the sound is cleaner and high quality, I use the a40 to edit videos all day, and they never run out of battery, feels very light on the ear, so basically If you're looking for bass, just get the p3 and you'll be good to go, but boy the sound quality on the a40 is just better.

[@izcab]

Excellent review

[@user-ho5io7od5q]

Thank you for your great review. The battery of the left bud of my Sony WF-1000 XM4 died now after 22 months.
Same as you, i don't want to spend so much money again and searched for alternatives, even if i liked the XM4 very much about the sound and ANC.

[@Meczox]

Is it possible for you to drop your eq settings for the a40?

[@craigshandworld]

how does the space40 stay in the ear compared to a3i? I like fin style earbuds to lock into the ear, The space model looks like it almost does not have this.

[@alexpolalex844]

Which is in your Oppinion better: Soundcore life a 1 or Soundcore life a 3i? The App is for me not so important. Have the soundcore space a 40 touch or physical buttons?

[@iamflashin]

THANK YOU BEYOND BEYOND BROTHER

[@tonytschanz5642]

Thank you for this great review. I learned a lot (and own the a40's)

[@viralmistry6349]

Did you tried the call quality after connecting via laptop?

[@Lucca_Valenta]

Are you satisfied, if price isn't a problem are space a40 the best?

[@GREGBT69]

Congrats for being a teacher. You are greatly needed and appreciated. Good vid. Keep them coming.

[@rubric_ra]

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 is much cheaper in my country, and so I was wondering would you recommend it over the Soundcore?

[@user-xh6zy6gf7u]

Hey! Can anyone tell me what is better between the life a3i and the life p3!😊

[@boxxor]

Sony WF-1000XM4 haven't even been out for 2 years, so you didn't get a couple of years out of them, you didn't even get 2. Mine started to die after a year and four months and there are many similar reports of them dying after about a year and a half on Amazon etc...
Thanks for the video!

[@samdeur]

What ear tips are you using? I just bought my 4th set I put them everywhere near my desk living room bedroom exercise bag you name it . They’re the best just bought two extra because they are crazy on sale now 68 euro instead of 80 i normally pay. But 4 is my limit haha . Love them thanks for the vid. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@MrAyrit]

I’m using some spin fit tips.

[@meegabyte]

But if you had to, what would you choose: a3i or P3 in terms of sound quality and overall?

[@MrAyrit]

At this point, hard to say. Didn’t really like either of them.

[@Din_Retro_Gamers]

​@@MrAyrit sir for more low budget earbud , will you recommend capsule 3 pro than space a40 and life p3 ?

[@tadswar]

Space a40 are amazing!

[@newfnshow031]

the p3i is pretty good to be honest

[@newfnshow031]

the pixel buds a also sound really good and they are pretty cheap

[@rubric_ra]

You could've just went to a service center, and get a new battery for the Sony..

[@ChaseDizzie]

Anker pays so much for marketing it's impossible to trust any reviews.

[@burlhorse61]

do love soundcore though-i've had their headphones now for years

[@glennXP3]

The liberty 3 pros have the best sound quality

[@nazman465]

wrong name in title

[@MrAyrit]

Which one?

[@jamiul3564]

@@MrAyrit says a30i instead of a3i

[@gratismtuy9582]

A30i
