If you prioritize long battery life and use headphones for a range of activities including calls, meetings, music, and TV, and appreciate sturdy build quality with the option for wired use, the Earfun Wave Pro headphones might suit you well, but these are bulkier and pricier. On the other hand, the Soundcore Life P3 earbuds are more budget-friendly, offer excellent noise isolation and are sweatproof, making them a better fit for exercise and travel, but they may fall short in sound quality for activities like gaming and watching videos, and lack the option to connect via a cable.

Tom's Guide
Alex Bracetti | July 2021
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
