Soundcore Life Dot 2

Pros: ***Good sound with just the right amount of bass ***Battery lasts forever ***Can use either ear by itself ***Great noise cancellation ***Holds in the ear great ***Sweat-proof ***Connects to devices easily ***Reasonably priced ***Lots of ear size options in the box ***Excellent warranty service Cons: ***The ear tips come off the earbud when you pull it out of the ear almost every time ***The case is bulky ***There is no visible indicator on the case indicating the charge level ***The right ear broke after 10 months Overall, I've been very happy with this headset. The dance you have to do to re-apply the ear sleeve as you are walking or carrying something got old very quickly, but the design fits perfectly within the ear. The battery lasts forever; I think I charged it four times total. The case is a little bulkier than I was expecting, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I was frustrated with the longevity of the product. I did not expect a product to last forever, but having the right ear die after 10 months was aggravating, mostly because I like the product so well. I am very careful with my electronics, and only used this when I was out walking. I have two other Anker earbuds, that are almost three years old, and they are still running strong. This product has an 18 month warranty, so I submitted a warranty replacement request with the company. Four days later, I had a brand new replacement sitting on my doorstep. I have purchased four earbud sets from this company, and I've always been happy with the results. Their warranty support makes their great products even better.

Huge fan of Anker products. These ear buds are second to Bose and half the price. I had them playing for 15 hours at an enjoyable volume on 1 charge. They didn’t die, I needed to go to bed! The box states 100 hours to drain the buds and the charging box. I will be testing them in a helmet riding a motorcycle, and will update this review. The sound is awesome and the battery outlasted me. Charging box recharged buds very quickly considering how long I played them the day before. The buds fit very nicely. I shook my head vigorously and the buds did not budge. The were comfortable for an entire day, after 3-4 hours, they felt like they were part of my ears. I can’t say how the sound is at full volume, there was not a need to turn them up that high. The level I had them at (about 65%) was quite enjoyable and without any distortion or crackle. The charging box is nice and non-obtrusive. The buds are kept in place with magnets. Between the buds and the charging box, unless you are on the SS Minnow taking a 2 hour cruise, you will not be without sound. 9/10/2021- UPDATE I have been using these for a year now. I have used them inside of my 3/4 helmet while I ride the mountains of the PNW. Flawless! I have the cardo scala Q1 headset with 40mm speakers installed in ear wells of the helmet. My concern was that the 2 would not fit together inside of the helmet. My concerns were laid to rest after a 6 hr ride. Both components, no pressure or ear pain from the 2 of them sharing space. The earbuds sit flush enough that they do not touch the speakers. I received 2 intentional calls while I was on the bike, one in town so I could test them with the external noises of a city. The other was on the highway so I could test them with wind noise. I could hear clearly in both cases. One issue noted on the highway, I had to speak louder than normal due to the wind, although the caller could not hear any wind. The caller on the city call indicated that I may be parked as the call was crystal clear. Bonus- I have used these earbuds while driving a car also. What I have found to be most effective is to wear only the left bud and have directions from google maps flowing through the bud instead of the car’s speakers, which my passengers always appreciate. The microphone works well enough that the caller answered a question that was whispered to me from the passenger seat!

Ok, I'm re-reviewing these because I hit them pretty harshly but I really wanted a pair of decent, wireless earbuds when biking that'd let me hear traffic and have my MP3 player on my handlebars without a wire that could cause problems- ya know, when STEERING. My initial review is below, feel free to ignore that if you want. But what changed to change the review? I decided to try them again since I still had them and they do sound a lot better somehow?? All I can say is my MP3 player has been reset since I last used these last. I'm not big on earbuds with a rubber insert, I find them pretty uncomfortable and I get people swear by them but I've mostly found them uncomfortable. These are not exactly an exception- but they do hold in the ears decently and have 4 options for the rubber in your ears and 3 for the ones that 'hook' your ears on the outside. So, they do include a lot to make sure they fit. +points for that. I wish there was a plastic option with these, I know there ARE plastic shell ones only- but I've read less favorable reviews on them so I tried these. Take that how you will. They sound pretty good. I notice if the song is paticular bassy it can be a bit distorted even at mid volumes- but the bass is there unlike other earbuds I've tried. I bet if you play with your equalizer more than me, you might be able to nail it where it works but I believe you'll be losing out if you like extra bass. The build quality feels really good between both the earbuds and the case. Pairing wasn't a problem and even with my no-name-brand MP3 player they seem to sync up instantly. The MP4 player I have claims it's bluetooth 4.2 but works really well with these that are 5.0. Also, if you're one of those "premium feel" people that put a metal casing above good performance and build quality? Just bail now, they're plastic across the board. The sound is good, but that's coming from a non-audiophile person. I like some decent bass and don't mind a EQ changing the sound of a song. For what they are I don't feel like I can complain. The bass is still a bit jank like I said, it is there but it feels like it goes too hard for the drivers to keep up with. For the money vs the other's I've seen/tried? I think these are a great budget option. My biggest gripe is across all wireless earbuds: you can't change the batteries when they go bad. No amount of anti-consumer marketing changes that reasoning but I'm not hitting the score for that- that's an industry wide problem, not a product problem. Why it doesn't make 5 stars is the sound is good but not great and as I said earlier, I really don't like rubber-nubbed earbuds and I don't know if these are bad or what but they're not comfortable for me for a long period of time. The previous scathing review: I'm by no means a audio snob. I figured these would be good to replace the old apple earbuds (the ones without the rubber) and would fit my needs for wearing a helmet & headphones since they are very compact and my helmet could fit around them. Well, a motorcycle helmet will not fit with these easily and the audio I'll get to. I can't get comfortable with these rubber tipped buds, I tried all the fittings it came with and they all wound up hurting after a short bit. And if you don't get them in just, right, they don't sound good. Speaking of sounding good, they don't. As I said I wanted to replace my earbuds because they were given to me ages ago and again, figure wireless would be better for biking. These sound worse than those and I'm pretty sure I heard a lot of people say the Apple earbuds were "ok" at best and bad at worst. These have this very, very muddy bass. If you like songs with bass? Well it's got bass but it's all one flat line. I tried adjusting my EQ to be less bassy- it still sounded bad, I tried making the EQ totally flat and it didn't sound great then either. I got a set of JBL over ear headphones that sound pretty good even over bluetooth but obviously more so over wire, old pair of Sony headphones that are also pretty solid with the range. But even as far as ear buds go, it's a 4/10. Usable but I'd say avoid unless you really need compact buds and you don't care if your music sounds like mud. The build quality feels really nice across the buds and the case, the tips went on easy enough. I really wish I liked these since they let in noise meaning it'd be good for biking & being aware of things around you. But between the pain the inserts cause and how bad the audio is I can't recommend them.

Anteriormente usé un par de Bose in ear para ejercicio, estos me parecieron atractivos y a buen precio. La calidad de sonido es buena, si acaso le falta un poco de poder al bajo. La pila del case dura muchísimo por lo que no te preocupas de andarlos cargando por semanas y el ensamble del producto es bueno :) En donde no me terminaron de convencer es en el ajuste, he probado varias combinaciones de almohadillas que trae y no me terminan de ajustar bien sin que moleste un poco y en ocasiones se me han salido de la oreja al estar haciendo ejercicio, si los compras en oferta son una excelente opción.

Très bon produit. Le son est top

Excellent

First, can I just say the unboxing experience and packagine for the earphones is phenomenal. The sound quality alone is just a pot punchier, and has a lot more treble and bass than something 4x the price - the AirPods Pro. Connection to my mac and phone was pretty simple. Really comfortable fit too, but don't think that would matter too much, the amount of different eartips and wingtips they include should cover that. Now just got to try these out in the gym. Will update my review once I do.

These are for me very comfortable to wear, there 3 different sizes of ear tips and also ear wings which I have found to be extremely secure and safe from falling out. I am no sound expert (i.e. tone etc) but they appear to have a good Bass and are very loud when you turn up the volume on your mobile or whatever music item that you are using. As advertised there is no volume control or noise cancellation but who needs this when you just increase volume on the phone. If fitted correctly I can't hear any outside noise at all when playing music, but without music or radio then yes you can make out what people are saying which all together isn't a bad thing. For making or accepting mobile calls there is no interference or crackling and I have had no complaints from anyone saying that they can't hear me during the conversation. I have given 5 stars because for me both the sound quality & volume are great and after only paying £35.99 at the time I reckon they were a steal. As I have said I'm no sound expert but for me let the experts pick holes in them I'm more than satisfied. The longevity of the battery life in these is superb, I have used then for 4-5 hours or more when driving down to the south coast etc with no problems and then on the return journey after being in the case used them again for the 5-6 hour Train journey Home, but if the 100 hours of playtime as claimed by Anker is correct I can't comment but I would suspect that they are right. So for me a damn good pair of earbuds cheap as chips. P.S. One last comment I purchased a pair of AirPods Pro for a lot of money and the sound quality when making a call and listening to music is terrible, have taken them back twice and had them replaced but they are still the same but with these Ankers and fingers crossed they are and will remain Brilliant. ENJOY.
