I got the Soundcore Anker Life Dot 2 headphones 4 years back and they were so comfortable, paired with stellar battery length and sound quality. Somehow, this set manages to sound even better than the original pair. I love the app that they've built to better support and customize your audio listening quality/note emphasis, to allow for you to custom edit the quick tap & hold settings for easy functionality without constantly toying with your connected device. They also still let you pick the sizing of the earbuds that fit within your ear so you have a perfect fit and comfort theere. These guys cost a bit of money, but they're more than worth their price. As someone who adores high quality audio, I can't recommend this brand more. You're gonna love them. Read more
Well packed item. Inside the box there are multiple size in ear cups. As soon as I opened the bud case with in 2 seconds they wanted to pair with my phone and my phone was sitting on my table next to me. Plus the message came up to pair with the anker app for equalizer. Right out of box they were already charged and as far as I am concerned good quality sound. The noise canceling works very well. Only thing for me is I use the large ear cups in both ears and my left one seems to get a little sore. I tried the medium one but it didnt seem to fit as well. I still use the large and I will see how it breaks in as I use it. I still give them 5 stats for over all use and quality sound. The case is small so easy to pocket on the go. Also the battery lasted for a long time. First time I started using them at least 4 to 5 hrs a day it lasted for a week. I chose the black. Great value for the money. I dont use the equalizer due to sound to me is great just out of box. I've had them now for 2 weeks and love them. I chose them cause I have a pair of Anker over ear head phones and they also have quality sound. Anker products for the money are good quality products and have great sound. I listen to rock and outlaw type country and classic rock. I am 69 yrs old and love listening to music. Read more
I've been using the same TOZO earbuds for 2 years and decided to buy these earbuds for these reasons: 1) longer battery life, 2) more options for sound modes, and 3) better connection with my iPhone. To give a little background, I primarily wear earbuds while working, commuting on the bus, and for personal use at home. But unfortunately, I decided to return the Soundcore earbuds for a few reasons. Continue reading below for my reasons why. Likes: 1) I really like the sound quality options as well as the ability to adjust the sound quality, using the Soundcore app which I think is a definite must if you want more control over the sound quality. I've really enjoyed switching between the ANC & transparency modes as they are surprising modes I never realized I wanted. With TOZO, I could only wear 1 earbud when using them at work so I can still hear my surroundings. But with the Soundcore earbuds on transparency mode, I can wear both earbuds and still hear the ongoings around the office near my desk. 2) The battery life is also a godsend in both the earbuds and the charging case. I don't think I fully realized when purchasing, how fast the earbuds would charge when in the case. At one point, I used the earbuds for 8 hours between ANC & transparency mode, charged the earbuds in the charging case for 15 minutes when I was on my break, and when I went to use them again afterward the earbuds were already 80-100% charged as according to my iPhone. Considering how often I use the earbuds after 8-10 hrs per day and 4-5 days of use from a full charge, the battery life is still 2 lights remaining which according to the Soundcore manual should be about 70-50% battery life remaining (I think that's the right range). 3) After using the TOZO earbuds, I've grown to appreciate wireless charging which the Soundcore earbuds do so that's a plus. Much easier for me as I'm still unused to using a USB-C cable which the Soundcore earbuds do come with, but I just have not liked charging my earbuds with a cord as much. Dislikes: 1) As much as I love the sound modes, I desperately need as much noise canceling as possible when using earbuds at home/commuting. So when I'm at home/commuting, I more often use the ANC mode on these earbuds. The audio setting does perform noise canceling well but these fall below the bar when I compare these earbuds to my TOZO earbuds which block out more noise than the Soundcore earbuds. I can cancel out more noise on the Soundcore earbuds by raising the volume under ANC mode. But as much as I would like to continue that method on the Soundcore earbuds, I value retaining my hearing as much as I can. 2) Connection-wise for the Soundcore earbuds with my iPhone was good to a point. Connecting to my iPhone was no issue, it was some situations in retaining that connection when going about my day is the issue. I've found the audio connection for the Soundcore earbuds cuts off when I'm on the bus/car (don't worry I'm not the one who's driving). When the vehicle (bus/car) drives over a very bumpy road/highway, the audio cuts off in response until the vehicle is back onto a smoother road/highway. I've also noticed this connection issue when I'm walking around my apartment complex, specifically when I walk under and through a small hallway to enter between complex buildings (my apartment complex is primarily outdoors when navigating between complex buildings to access apartment units). I had this issue recently with my TOZO earbuds so I'm sad I'm already having this issue with the Soundcore earbuds right out of the box. Mind you, the Soundcore earbuds I received may be a previously returned set that was already opened. 3) Receiving the Soundcore earbuds already opened dampened my experience with these earbuds early on. But I knew this was a familiar tactic that Amazon often does if the condition of the item is still almost good as new. So I tried to keep my fingers crossed that using the earbuds changed my mind since the earbuds still looked unused and had no residue of dirt on the earbuds themselves. I still cleaned the earbuds myself just in case, especially nowadays with the pandemic. Overall: The fact that qualities I liked with the TOZO earbuds were missing out for me when using the Soundcore earbuds (sound quality) and I started having the same issues with the Soundcore earbuds as I currently have with my TOZO earbuds (connection issue), this was big negative for me since I still wanted to retain that quality as this was a $99 purchase. But I still rated these earbuds 4 stars because I really liked the battery life which exceeded my expectations and I really liked the type of sound quality modes in tandem with the Soundcore app as it really helped me customize my experience day to day depending on what activity I'm doing (commuting or at work).

Amazing quality with so many customizations for sound quality, touch options and noise cancellation. very comfortable and fit perfectly in your ear if you have the right rubber size. the amount of times I've forgot they are in my ear because its literally as i they aren't there. Great quality for the price, do recommend, only thing is you're limited to the amount of touch options you can have at one time but you can easily change it to your likings in the app. Read more
