soundcore, the premium audio brand under Anker Innovations and ranked Top 3 globally in wireless headphone shipments[1], has introduced the soundcore R60i NC, a new generation of true wireless earbuds that redefine everyday listening with powerful sound, smart features, and lasting comfort. Designed for those who demand more for less, the R60i NC combines studio-grade audio, intelligent noise control, and impressive endurance, all in one sleek, affordable package.

Finding the perfect pair of earphones often feels like a trade-off: you either pay a premium for quality sound or settle for budget options that compromise on performance. But what if you could have the best of both worlds? Committed to delivering premium sound at a budget-friendly price, soundcore, a premium brand under Anker Innovations, is introducing the R60i NC, a next-generation pair of earphones featuring flagship-level audio technology. The best part is that they can be yours for only PHP 1,795.

A milestone upgrade C

The soundcore R60i NC is a milestone upgrade to its predecessor R50i NC. As the first R-Series earphones with Hi-Res Audio certification and LDAC support, the R60i NC sets a new benchmark for affordable premium sound with tons of new and improved features.

While the R50i NC offered 25 hours of battery life, the R60i NC takes it a step further, offering up to 40 hours with active noise canceling (ANC), and up to 50 hours when the ANC is turned off. This guarantees more than 2 days worth of enjoyment from your favorite podcasts and playlists without any interruptions.

Its ANC also jumps from -42dB to -52dB ANC, raising the bar and making it one of the strongest in its category. Using Helmholtz resonance chambers and four high-precision microphones, its intelligent algorithm dynamically analyzes your environment every 0.007 seconds to maintain uninterrupted calm wherever life takes you.

For fans of foreign films and shows, the R60i is equipped with AI translation support in over 100 languages and dialects. It can also easily translate face-to-face and real-time conversations through Anka, an AI assistant feature, so you can utilize it during your travels and chat with locals easily.

With its 6-mic AI Clear Call system that optimizes voice pickup and its multi-point connection, the R60i NC is also a perfect companion for busy students who attend online classes and remote workers who jump into video calls, who need to seamlessly change devices.

Experience high performance at a fraction of the cost

The market is packed with so many different kinds of earphones, and one thing always seems to ring true about purchasing a pair of quality earphones — that it comes at a steep price, typically around P6,000 or more. But soundcore continues to prove that innovation can be accessible. The R60i NC makes premium listening part of everyday life — for students, professionals, travelers, and anyone who values good sound without compromise.

Take the leap into next-level sound with the soundcore R60i NC, exclusively available in the Philippines through Shopee by October 22 and across all platforms November 8 onwards. For more information, visit the brand’s Instagram.
