The Soundcore R50i are Anker’s entry-level true wireless earbuds, the same model Soundcore sells as the P20i in other markets (model A3949, covered by one shared user guide for the P20i, R50i and P25i). They pair oversized 10mm drivers tuned for bass with up to 10 hours of playback per charge and 30 hours in total with the case. Two microphones and an AI algorithm help keep your voice clear on calls, the soundcore app offers 22 EQ presets, and an IPX5 rating covers sweat and rain. This pair is black, and the small case hangs from an attached lanyard.

10mm drivers with a bass-forward sound
The Soundcore R50i use 10mm dynamic drivers, large for earbuds in this price band, and Soundcore tunes them for strong bass. That suits the music most people stream every day: pop, hip-hop, Arabic and Khaleeji tracks with a heavy beat. Vocals and podcasts stay easy to follow on top. If you prefer a flatter or brighter sound, the soundcore app lets you pick one of 22 preset EQ curves, so the same pair can sound warmer for music and leaner for spoken content. Keep in mind there is no active noise cancellation, so in a noisy metro or flight the outside world still comes through.
Battery: 10 hours per charge, 30 with the case
Soundcore rates the Soundcore R50i at up to 10 hours from the earbuds on a single charge, and up to 30 hours in total when you recharge them in the case. Actual time depends on volume and content. A 10-minute charge gives about 2 hours of playback, which helps on mornings when you forgot to charge them overnight. The case charges over USB-C. For most people this means charging the case roughly once or twice a week, and a full working day of listening fits easily in one charge of the earbuds.
Calls with two mics and AI processing
Each Soundcore R50i earbud works with two built-in microphones, and Soundcore uses an AI algorithm to separate your voice from surrounding noise. It makes WhatsApp calls and online meetings clearer than basic earbuds that use a single mic. They are not a dedicated business headset, and in strong wind or very loud places the other side will still hear some background, but for everyday calls on the move they do the job well. Single Earbud mode lets you take one bud out of the case and use it alone, which is handy for calls while driving or at work.
The soundcore app: EQ, controls and Find My Earbuds
Through the free soundcore app you can choose from 22 EQ presets, customise the touch controls on each earbud, and turn on a gaming mode for games. Soundcore does not publish a latency figure for that mode, so we do not quote one. If you misplace an earbud at home or in the car, Find My Earbuds makes it play a sound so you can track it down. The earbuds connect over Bluetooth 5.3 and work with both Android phones and iPhones as standard Bluetooth earbuds, with the app available on both platforms.
IPX5, a lanyard case and everyday carry
Soundcore rates the Soundcore R50i IPX5, which covers sweat and splashes, so a gym session or a walk in light rain is fine; they are not made for swimming or showering. The charging case is compact and comes with an attached lanyard, so you can hang it from a bag strap, a key ring or your wrist instead of losing it in a pocket. The black finish hides scratches and fingerprints well, which suits a pair that gets thrown in a gym bag or a car door every day.
Who This Is Not For
The Soundcore R50i are not for anyone who wants active noise cancellation for flights or open-plan offices; there is none, and a noise-cancelling model is the better choice. They are not for swimming, as IPX5 covers sweat and splashes only. Soundcore does not publish the earbud weight or a latency figure for gaming mode, and it does not list wireless charging for the case.
