UPDATE 07/18/18: After my last update review of the SoundCore Spirit earphones, where I reported a serious problem with random, extremely loud screeching noise occurring without warning, I was contacted by Anker to resolve the problem. After providing them the details, they opted to send me a replacement set of earphones – and they went above and beyond by upgrading the replacement to the SoundCore Spirit Pro. Within a few days I had the replacement earphones in hand and have been using them everyday. There are some differences between the Spirit and Spirit Pro models, some small and some large. The Pro’s controls are tactilely different, the battery takes longer to charge, and I’m not getting quite as good a “seal” as I did with the Spirit model (I’m still fiddling with this so I’m anticipating the fit will improve as I tinker with the silicone ear tips). As compared to the Spirit, the Spirit Pro has a longer battery life, a nice balanced audio quality that sits just where I like it between treble and bass, and the Bluetooth range is simply phenomenal. The SoundCore Spirit Pro is one of the best wireless Bluetooth earphones I’ve used, and although I received mine as a replacement, if I were buying again I get the Pro model. Let’s talk Anker customer service. In a word – outstanding. In every respect, initial contact, responsiveness, follow-through, follow-up … just outstanding. For them to upgrade a replacement to a more capable model was above and beyond anything I was expecting. So, Anker SoundCore Spirit Pro earphones – a well-designed, high quality, feature rich, acoustically pleasing product backed by outstanding customer service. Could you ask for anything more? (OK, they give ‘em away free =8^) I’m very happy with my Anker products and recommend them highly. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Stars!!
UPDATE 07/08/18: I originally rated this as one of the best products I've ever bought on Amazon and gave it 5 stars. After using them for several weeks a major flaw has surfaced and I'm forced to change my rating to 2 stars. The flaw? After I've worn these earphones for a couple of hours listening to podcasts or an audiobook on my iPhone, out of the blue without warning I hear an extremely loud screeching sound in both ears - so loud I have to jerk the earphones off. When this happens, not only is the sound deafening, the earphones disconnect from my iPhone. If I turn the earphones off and then back on and re-pair them with my iPhone I can listen for about another two hours before the process repeats. I really want to love these earphones, but having the pleasure experience of a podcast or audiobook rudely disrupted by an extremely loud screeching sound without warning just won't cut the muster. Thus, I must change my rating from 5 to 2 stars as these are not longer one of the most outstanding products I've ever bought on Amazon.
Original Review: I've been using these Anker earphones for about two weeks and they are flat out excellent in every respect. For the price these are hard to beat. Why? 8-hour battery life, very economical price, outstanding build quality, very comfortable fit, a neutral audio quality that is not too bass-heavy with highs that aren't "tinny" - just right, they produce good volume, and the Bluetooth range is incredible!. I've got a set of Bluetooth earphones by another manufacturer that I bought on Amazon, and they lack the range, the fit, and the battery life of these Anker earphones. I've listened to music of all genres, podcasts, audiobooks, TV programs, and more, and they all sound great. When I say the range on these earphones are incredible, I mean incredible. Most earphones like these have an effective range of maybe 25-30 feet before the signal drops out. With these Anker earphones I can leave my phone at one end of the house and go to the far opposite end of the house (at least 50 feet and maybe more) and the signal never fades, breaks up or drops. Incredible! With an 8-hour battery life I can work in the yard, garage, etc. virtually all day before the earphones stop working. This is very handy. I'd buy these again in a heartbeat. I've you're looking for a wireless Bluetooth earphone look no further ... these are what you want. This is one of the most outstanding products I've ever bought on Amazon, and if I could rate 'em 10 stars I would. 5 STARS!!!

Like i'm not even wearing headphones!
Most of the headphones I have dealt with in the past always have had a huge annoyance lurking somewhere. These Anker Spirits seems to have finally solved that. I think the most common annoyance I have had is fit and this is where these shine. Usually with a connected pair(wire between the two buds), the wire works its way to the left or right on my neck and tugs because it is too long or sits in the wrong spot. One of the best things about these is the small rubber chunk in the middle of the wire that allows the user to shorten the wire to any length of their choosing.(See Picture) Other buds after an hour or so make my ears throb and ache due to them putting pressure on some wrong part of my ear. These allows for the perfect adjustment of the wire prevent pull or discomfort. With the huge selection of included buds, I think anyone can find a good fit with these. For me personally, the default included buds with the little wrap-around piece fit PERFECT. I mostly use these outside doing yard work and I am blown away every time I use them at just how comfortable they are. After being outside for 3 hours, it is almost like they don't exist! Now that the comfort has been addressed lets get to the rest.Sound quality: No these are not Sh*re monitors ($300-$500) but man are they awesome for what they are. There isn't a hint of muddiness in the highs and the bass is perfectly adequate for some gentle yard work listening. I would say 9/10 on sound comparing them to other ear buds in the same price range.Battery Life: Honestly I don't know because they seem to never go dead. I have worked three 2-3 hour days in the yard without a charge and they just keep going and going and going... like this bunny I know... They seem to fully charge in a few hours at a charge rate of .25 amps and any sort of 30 min top up will give you plenty of juice for the rest of the day.Durability: These are advertised as Ipx7 and boy do they live up to the hype. Even if you are doing hot yoga or some sweet Kung Fu in India at the height of Summer, these will hold up perfectly fine. As my pictures show I have no fears of submerging the entire device in a cup of water. The oleophobic coating (guessing oleophobic) keeps the water off and makes these seemingly impervious to the elements. The flap over the micro USB slot fits snugly and FINALLY has a pull tab so I don't need to get a knife to pop it off.Overall for the price you pay, these are some of the best headphones in this category as far as I am concerned. 7/5 with rice, would recommend again.
