Soundcore P30i Noise Cancelling Earbuds
About this product
The Soundcore P30i Noise Cancelling Earbuds are Anker’s budget true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation and an unusual charging case that props up your phone. They suit commuters, students and travellers who want quieter listening and long battery life without spending heavily.
How much does the Soundcore P30i Noise Cancelling Earbuds cost?
When we last checked in October 2026, the Soundcore P30i Noise Cancelling Earbuds was typically selling for about $20 – $30 in the US. That is an approximate range, not a quote: the retailer changes prices often, and colour, size or storage options can move it up or down.

Key features
- Adaptive noise cancellation: Soundcore states the system reduces noise by up to 42 dB and adjusts its strength automatically to your surroundings. A transparency mode lets outside sound in when needed.
- 10 mm drivers with BassUp: the tuning leans toward strong bass, which suits pop, hip-hop and electronic music.
- Long playtime: Soundcore quotes 10 hours per charge and 45 hours including the case. A 10-minute top-up gives about 2 hours. Using noise cancellation reduces these figures.
- Case doubles as phone stand: the back of the charging case opens to hold a phone upright for hands-free viewing.
- IP54 protection: the earbuds are rated against dust and splashes. That is enough for rain and sweat, but not for swimming.
- Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint: you can stay connected to two devices at once, such as a phone and a laptop.
- App control: the Soundcore app offers 22 preset equalisers plus custom EQ. Four microphones with AI noise reduction handle calls.
What we like
- Active noise cancellation with a transparency mode at a budget level.
- Long quoted battery life, with a quick top-up option.
- A charging case that also holds a phone upright for video.
- Multipoint connection to two devices.
- An app with preset and custom equaliser settings.
What to consider
- The noise cancellation is not the most powerful available, and stronger systems sit further up the range.
- The sound is bass-forward, not neutral.
- High-resolution codecs are not part of the package.
- Battery figures drop when noise cancellation is switched on.
Who should buy it
The Soundcore P30i makes sense for anyone who wants noise cancelling earbuds for buses, trains and flights at a low cost. It also suits people who watch video on their phone at a desk or tray table. The bass-forward sound will please casual listeners.
Those who want the most powerful noise cancellation, a neutral sound signature or high-resolution codecs should look further up Soundcore’s range or at premium brands.
How it compares
Budget true wireless earbuds split into two groups: those with active noise cancellation and those without. The P30i belongs to the first group, which is the one to choose for commuting and travel. Basic earbuds without noise cancellation cost less and are fine for the gym or quiet rooms. Premium noise cancelling earbuds typically block more noise, offer a more balanced sound and support higher-quality codecs, at a considerably higher cost. The phone-stand case is an uncommon extra at any level, and it is useful if you often watch video on the move.
What to check before you buy
- Similar model names: Soundcore also sells the P20i, P31i, P40i and others. Features differ considerably between them.
- Fit: noise cancellation depends on a good seal, so try the different ear tip sizes included.
- Phone stand: the stand is a simple prop, so check it suits the size of your phone and case.
- Charging: confirm how the case charges and whether a cable is supplied. A wall charger is typically not included.
- App features: some settings require the Soundcore app, and setup without an account may be limited.
