Review: A20's to A30's - Let me start by being honest; desertcart's not letting me review the new A30's here but here's my review of both A20's and the new A30's. This is posted on SoundCore's site as well: First a couple of back story statements: desertcart is now not taking reviews of the A30's unless the buds are purchased through them and since I was part of the Early Bird KickStarter and got them directly from SoundCore I couldn't do a review there (where most of the reviews are posted and viewed). It seemed that the majority of reviews on desertcart were from first time SoundCore users. I've had six months of A20 use and the same amount of time communicating with SoundCore's Support Team and Tech Team so I have some viewpoints on that. As a note I was a Bose SleepBud user for three years and experienced all the down sides of their difficulties with battery, range and software glitches that eventually drove them to decide to discontinue the product. Here's my take going from the plus side to the somewhat negative side: For those of us who had good experiences with the A20's the shift to the A30's is far easier than it would be for a first time user. The app layout is similar with some changes that take into account the ANC tech and the ability to store more than one "Land" sleep sound whether white noise or snore blocking. While this seems a little clunky unless you want to continually change sleep sounds night by night I don't see any issue with this. The setup is quite easy as were the A20's and pairing whether using the app or the Bluetooth setting is simple. The app's navigation is similar to the A20's with some needed additions to the Sound Scape variety for pre-sleep. As with the A20's the range of the buds from a phone is excellent so if you have to head to a distant bathroom or elsewhere the long range really helps. The whole reason for switching from the A20's to the A30's was the addition of ANC to the product. The A30 bud is slightly larger than the A20 but certainly still low profile and comfortable and permits side sleeping without issues. The reviews mentioning the lack of sensitivity with the touch adjustments for sound level and switching from Bluetooth to Sleep mode may be due to the need to contact the bud DIRECTLY on the flat face rather than even slightly off center. A big complaint from reviewers on both A20's and A30's is the sudden transition from Bluetooth mode to Sleep mode that's jarring and tends to wake you up with the software detects sleep. I think this is being addressed but is a definite downside for both devices. Again, similar to the A20's. I've communicated some of my concerns about the transition from A20's to A30's directly to SoundCore's teams but my chief complaint is the difficulty in SoundCore's verbiage on the directions for the products. Simple is good and my experience with both the ear buds as well as other SoundCore speakers is that their directions use quite confusing wording and in general need to be far more clear and use simple statements that don't require trying to figure out what the terminology means and what they're intended to do. Finally, I've read reviews that are critical of the ANC function in terms of how much noise the A30's is blocked out. My experience is that the ANC is not nearly as effective as either over the ear cans or competitors' like Bose's noise cancelling but in such a small package that's very comfortable for sleep positions you're not going to fit total ANC in the bud. It does reduce background noise but is certainly not capable of true ANC as of right now. Now for the positive; In the six months I've dealt directly with SoundCore their Support and Tech teams are excellent. In a business that normally does not have the ability to directly contact the manufacturer by phone the Tech team is accessible and very helpful. SoundCore Support is email only but VERY responsive in a short time frame and is very patient and helpful. I know this may seem a side issue but for anyone that's experienced product and setup direction issues being able to get quick responses and tech guidance is a game changer. SoundCore is pushing hard on brands like Bose's product placement and is now in both Verizon stores as well As Costco. With the added customers i'm hoping that the customer service gets expanded and can keep up. I know that SoundCore is working on software updates and some technical tweaks and that should help but right now not sure that switching from the A20's to the much pricier A30's is necessary. For first time SoundCore customers the A30's function well and have some features that make it worth the bucks with the proviso that SoundCore will continue the software and direction improvement.
Review: Dead battery life. - Pros: The fit. If you are a side sleeper, these are it. They are slim enough that you won't feel much pressure, if any while sleeping on your side. They also fit tightly so that within itself creates another barrier for sound to get in. There is also an array of tips that will not in larger or smaller ears. Sound quality. I didn't buy them for sound quality but got it anyways. Sounds just like any other soundcore buds. Charging case. Magnetic with the open USB C. I love how easy it is to charge these things. Cons: Battery life. At first, the battery life was as advertised. I could sleep longer than 8 hours and would wake up to sound still playing. 5 months in and the R bud does after about 5 hours while the L goes for about 7. That's 4-5 hours gone and it's not even 6 months. I had a feeling this would happen as a few of the soundcore products that I have, have this very issue. I was hoping that for the amount they were charging this wouldn't have been an issue at this stage of their usage but here we are. This is the only con I have but it is the biggest one as this is the reason why I bought these in the first place. 1 year or 2 years in with declining battery life would have been ok but dropping half the life in a few months. Not worth it. I also don't have that much hope for future iterations as I have said, soundcore products lose battery life quickly. Update: Down to 1 star. The L bud died today and it was the one that was holding the battery. The R bud is still losing battery. Its now down to about 4 hours. Lastly, the case is barley holding a charge. I charged them overnight after the case was down to about 30% and it was at 20% after charging them for a few hours. These buds are now completely unusable and I had these for less than one year (bought in Oct 2024). Update 11/13/2025 Soundcore reached out to me and because I was within the warranty period, sent me a new pair. The new pair is the same story. After a few months, the R buds have significantly lost battery sufficiency. I get maybe 4-5 hours with them and sometimes they only charge to 90%. The L buds haven't lost the battery life like the R but there is noticeable reduction in battery life about 1-2 hours. This again is after approx 4 months with the new pair. These are not worth $180. The only thing that is still a pro for these buds is the fit. They still fit in the ear well and rarely fall out while sleeping. The app has been updated quite a bit and is much better than when I first got these buds.

### ⭐⭐ Would be 5* if they worked longer than 3 months
*by D***N on May 18, 2025*

UPDATE: After making my original post Anker contacted me and offered a full refund. With the excellent customer service it may be worth the gamble to see if you get good units. I'll probably be back for the A30 Sleep series whenever that's released, I hope those work better. These are great earbuds.... for the first 2-3 months. Truly the best sleep headphones I've ever used. Most of the others are cheap ones from Amazon. The Anker branded sleep headphones were the first ones I found that didn't have a very loud voice yelling in my ear "CONNECTED", "DISCONNECTED", or "POWER OFF" in the middle of the night waking me up. The fact that you can completely disable all sounds on these is great. They're comfortable for me as a side sleeper, but everyone is different, so YMMV. Now the really bad. I've had 2 sets so far, both lasted almost 3 months before the right ear is nearly inaudible. Both sets had the right ear gradually getting quieter and quieter, it's not related to ear wax build up or anything as I've regularly cleaned them and when taking them out of the case the volume is noticeably louder compared to the next morning when it is impossible to hear anything, the only way I know it's still connected is that the touch button still works and the app reports ~80% battery, my audiobook app turns off if I don't shake it every 15 minutes so most of the time I'm asleep within 15 minutes, so these get very little active use and are in standby most of the night. I got my first set replaced with warranty fairly easily, which is really the only reason they get 2*. But for the money these should really last longer than 3 months. The S10's I had before lasted over a year before one of the ears died, which isn't amazing but for that year I had the best sleep I've ever had so the higher price point is worth it, but there's a big difference between the cost being ~30 cents per day to over $2/day before they're not functioning. At this point I don't recommend these, if they worked well for more than a year it would be good but the fact that I've had 2 units fail the exact same way is disappointing. I figured the first time it happened must have been a fluke since very few reviews say anything like this happening, but to have 2 in a row with the exact same problem seems like possibly a manufacturing defect.
