Anker Soundcore R50i True Wireless Earbuds

The Anker Soundcore R50i is the non-ANC member of Soundcore’s R50i family: a true wireless earbuds pair that skips noise cancellation and spends the budget on the things you use every day — bigger drivers, longer battery, and a companion app that actually lets you tune the sound. If you landed here searching for the Anker Soundcore R50i price in Bangladesh: 10mm BassUp drivers, Bluetooth 5.3, up to 10 hours per charge and 30 hours total with the case, IPX5 water resistance, and 2-mic AI call processing. You can browse the full Earbuds & Earphones range at Gadget Superb to compare — but this page is all about the R50i.

One clarification before the details: there are two different R50i models in the wild — the standard R50i (A3949) described here, and the R50i NC (A3959), a different product with adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 5.4, and a phone-stand case. The Anker Soundcore R50i on this page is the non-NC version. It has no active noise cancellation, and none is claimed anywhere below.

What it does have, per the manufacturer’s official spec sheet and user manual: 10mm dynamic drivers with BassUp bass enhancement, Bluetooth 5.3 with about 10 metres of range, 2 microphones with an AI algorithm for clearer calls, IPX5 sweat and splash resistance on the earbuds, touch controls that are customizable in the soundcore app, a game mode via the app, single-earbud mode, and 22 preset EQs plus a custom EQ in the app. Every figure below is labeled as the manufacturer’s claim.

Sound Quality and Drivers

The Anker Soundcore R50i is built around 10mm dynamic drivers — larger than the 6–8mm units common at this end of the market — paired with Soundcore’s BassUp tuning, which pushes low-frequency response without muddying the mids. In practice that means bass-heavy tracks (hip-hop, EDM, dhol-driven Bangla pop) get real weight, while vocals and podcasts stay intelligible.

Where the Anker Soundcore R50i pulls ahead of most budget rivals is the soundcore app (Android and iOS). The app gives you 22 preset EQs plus a fully custom EQ, so you are not stuck with the factory tuning: boost the bass for the gym, flatten it for podcasts, or build a preset for late-night low-volume listening. EQ presets are stored per your preference in the app, and the same app handles touch-control remapping, the game mode toggle, and firmware updates. A budget earbud that ships with a genuinely useful companion app is rarer than it should be — here it is standard.

Design, Fit and Comfort

The Anker Soundcore R50i uses short-stem in-ear buds in matte black, paired with a compact rounded-square charging case with an attached braided lanyard — loop it around a finger or clip it to a bag and the case stops being the thing you lose between the sofa cushions.

Comfort comes from the light short-stem shape and the S/M/L silicone ear tips in the box. Fit is personal, so try all three sizes: the right tip should seal the ear canal gently without pressure, and that seal does double duty — it is what gives the 10mm drivers their bass, and it is what keeps the buds in place on a bumpy bus ride. The matte finish resists fingerprints better than the glossy shells common in this segment, so the case still looks new after weeks in a pocket with keys. It’s a practical, pocketable design that suits the Anker Soundcore R50i’s everyday-workhorse positioning.

Battery Life and Charging Case

Battery is the Anker Soundcore R50i’s headline strength, and the figures are refreshingly specific — straight from the official manual rather than a marketing slide:

• Up to 10 hours of playtime on a single earbud charge
• Up to 30 hours total with the charging case — roughly a full work week of commuting without finding a plug
• 10-minute quick charge ≈ 2 hours of playtime — a genuinely useful rescue when the buds die on your way out
• Full charging time of up to about 2 hours over USB-C

Ten hours per charge is at the top end of what non-ANC budget earbuds claim, and it is the number that matters most in daily use: most people charge the case long before the buds run dry. The case recharges over USB-C (cable in the box); there is no wireless charging. Real-world hours will vary with volume and call time, but the 10h/30h figures are among the best-documented claims in this price band — and a big part of why the Anker Soundcore R50i stands out for commuters.

ANC, ENC and Call Quality

Let’s be precise, because this is where budget listings get sloppy: the Anker Soundcore R50i has no active noise cancellation. ANC belongs to the sibling R50i NC (A3959), a different product. What the R50i does have is call-side noise handling — 2 built-in microphones with an AI algorithm, marketed by Soundcore as AI-Clear Calls. The two mics sample ambient noise around you and the algorithm works to keep your voice intelligible to the person on the other end, filtering out steady background hum like traffic or office chatter.

In practice, that means calls from a rickshaw or a busy street come through noticeably cleaner than with single-mic budget buds, though no mic system erases a horn blast. If your priority is silencing the world while you listen to music — real ANC for flights or deep focus — this is not that product, and you should look at the store’s ANC models instead. If your priority is long battery, strong bass, and calls that don’t make people ask you to repeat yourself, the R50i’s 2-mic AI setup is the right tool for the job.

Connectivity and Controls

The Anker Soundcore R50i runs Bluetooth 5.3 with an effective range of about 10 metres in open space — the sweet spot of stability, pairing speed, and power efficiency. Single-earbud mode is supported, so you can wear one bud while the other charges and still take calls or listen in mono.

Controls are touch-based and customizable in the soundcore app — play/pause, track skip, call handling, and voice-assistant summoning can be remapped to your preference, which is unusual generosity at this price. The app also hosts the game mode, which reduces audio latency for mobile gaming and video. Soundcore publishes no millisecond figure for the game mode, so we won’t quote one: expect noticeably tighter sync than standard mode, not a measured number. Voice-assistant support is included for hands-free commands on both Android and iOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this the R50i with ANC?

No. This is the standard Anker Soundcore R50i (model A3949), which has no active noise cancellation. The ANC version is a different product — the R50i NC (model A3959) — with different hardware, Bluetooth 5.4, and a different case design. If a listing mixes the two models’ specs, treat it with suspicion; this page keeps them separate.

2. How long does the battery really last?

Per the official manual: up to 10 hours of playtime on a single earbud charge, and up to 30 hours total with the charging case. A 10-minute quick charge claims about 2 hours of playtime. Real-world hours depend on your volume, call time, and game-mode use, but the 10h-per-charge figure is among the strongest in this segment.

3. What is BassUp, and does the Anker Soundcore R50i’s sound hold up?

BassUp is Soundcore’s bass-enhancement tuning for the 10mm dynamic drivers — it adds low-end weight without burying vocals. Combined with the 22 preset EQs and custom EQ in the soundcore app, you can shape the sound well beyond the factory tuning. The drivers are manufacturer-claimed at 10mm; no independent lab test is cited here.

4. How are calls on the R50i?

Calls use 2 built-in microphones with an AI algorithm (Soundcore’s “AI-Clear Calls”) that works to keep your voice intelligible while reducing steady background noise. It is call-side processing only — it does nothing for your own listening, since this model has no ANC. For the clearest calls, wear the buds with a good ear-tip seal so the mics sit close to your mouth.

5. Which Bluetooth version, and how far can I go from my phone?

Bluetooth 5.3 with an effective range of about 10 metres in open space, per the official manual. Version 5.3 brings faster pairing, a more stable connection, and lower power draw than older versions. Single-earbud mode is supported if you want to wear one bud while the other charges.

6. Is there an app for the Anker Soundcore R50i, and what does it do?

Yes — the soundcore app (Android and iOS). It offers 22 preset EQs plus a custom EQ, touch-control remapping, the game-mode toggle, and firmware updates. There is no extra charge for the app, and the touch controls work for the basics even if you never install it.

7. Are they good for workouts?

The earbuds are rated IPX5, meaning they resist sweat and splashes — fine for gym sessions and runs in light rain. They are not rated for swimming or submersion, and the charging case carries no water-resistance rating, so keep the case dry. The short-stem fit and ear-tip seal keep them stable during movement.

8. How do I pair them the first time?

Open the charging case (or take the buds out) and they enter pairing mode — find “soundcore R50i” in your phone’s Bluetooth settings and connect. After the first pairing, they reconnect automatically when taken out of the case. If pairing fails, put both buds back in the case, close the lid for a few seconds, and try again; the manual in the box has the full reset steps.

9. What’s in the box?

The distributor-consensus box list: the earbud pair, the charging case with lanyard, S/M/L silicone ear tips, a USB-C charging cable, and a quick start guide. Per store policy, accessories are only included when the description says so — check the box on arrival and report anything missing the same day.

10. Is there a warranty?

Yes — this product carries a 7-day warranty from Gadget Superb, as shown in the warranty attribute on this page. If anything goes wrong within 7 days of delivery, contact the store with your order number (hotline 09638054751, care@gadgetsuperb.com, or Messenger). No “official warranty” claim is made beyond the 7 days shown here.

11. Is the Anker Soundcore R50i in stock right now?

Stock changes as orders come in, so the live product page is the authority — it shows the current stock status and the current price. This page never hard-codes either, because both can change between your visit and your order. If the page shows it available, you can order with cash on delivery.

12. How do delivery, payment, and returns work?

Every order is cash on delivery: you pay the delivery person in cash when the parcel arrives, and the store never asks for advance payment. Delivery charges and timelines follow the store’s Delivery & Returns page — inside Dhaka is faster and cheaper than outside Dhaka. Where the courier allows it, you may open the parcel and check the product before you pay. Every product can be returned within 7 days of delivery in its original condition with the box and accessories.
