If you're looking for earbuds that are often less expensive and are suitable for exercise and frequent travel, the Soundcore Life P3 could be the choice for you, as they're portable, come with a carrying case that supports wireless charging, and they are sweatproof. However, if you prefer headphones with a better overall sound quality that can also be used wired and have longer battery life when wireless charging isn't an option, you might prefer the Soundcore Space One. The Space One has active noise cancelling just like the Life P3, but offers better noise isolation, which could be beneficial for air travel and busy environments. Remember, though, that the Space One is often somewhat more expensive compared to the Life P3. Give Feedback

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."

Tim Gideon | September 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
