Anker Soundcore - Life Dot 2

I'm from the US and have one caveat. I have a really old pair of Soundcore Life Dot 2s that are indestructible and have incredible battery. Sadly they don't make that line anymore and the only ones with the bud shape were the Space A40s. My wife has them and loves them. She bought me a pair and I didn't use them for a couple months so they were past the return window. I personally hate them. I have average size ears that all buds with a medium tip fit fine. These with any included tip slip out of my ears all the time, and out of box continuously cut out. That said, I still highly recommend Anker / Soundcore products, just with the caveat that they are a Chinese product only sold through Amazon and don't be like me and test your tech in the return window.

I bought a pair of Soundcore life dot 2 a few years back for maybe AU$30 on amazon, and they’ve been brilliant. Price to performance is off the charts.

Look at Soundcore, as others have said. Amongst others, I've got a pair of Soundcore Life Dot 2s that are pushing 5 years old now. They still give me 4+ hours of listening time (around 7.5 hours when new).

Mmm.. idk. I have one of those and I prefer my cheap Soundcore life dot 2’s over the AirPod pro’s. Granted I am one of those people who find AirPods uncomfortable so the seal is not the best in my left ear. I would recommend the Soundcore’s but they are discontinued unfortunately… For my work setup I use Philips SHP9500 + a V-MODA BoomPro microphone. This combo cancels out ambient noise as heard by other participants on a call but I can still hear everything. If your goal is to optimize for the quality of your audio during calls, this is it. If your goal is to not hear what’s happening around you, this is not it. That being said when I speak with coworkers who use AirPod pro 2’s, those definitely provide a great albeit flat audio.

I love my Anker Soundcore earbuds. Drowns out my husband’s snoring! Yet, I could hear Scouts yelling in an emergency

I have the 2.0 version. Saw the 3 just came out but I am happy with what I have

I had a previous set of the life line that died prior to getting my libertys. Had never spent more than 50 or so on a pair of ear buds and was realizing just how much I was wearing them so I decided to go ahead and spend a bit more. I have 0 regrets, absolutely love em.

Go for the soundcore P30i, if you can. Those have great noise cancelling at a budget, as long as you're not expecting Apple or Bose level ANC. Transparency is pretty decent too, but obviously not perfect, as you can expect. You can get 6/10 hours of playback on a single charge (ANC on/off), and 25/45 hours with the case, and ever customize things like touch controls, low-latency Gaming Mode, Multipoint Connection, Custom EQ, etc. in the app! If you can't afford P30i in your country or they're not available, P20i is also a solid choice. No ANC or Transparency, and the build quality is a little bit lighter, but they're not bad at all. You can also get 10 hours of playback from one single charge, and 30 with the case. You can also customize touch controls in the app, change EQs, etc. I personally wouldn't go for the P2 Mini or any soundcore Life earbuds. Those are soundcore's older buds, and with most of them, you can't use the free app to customize them, and there are physical buttons instead of tap controls, which most people don't love. Hope this helped!

I have some Anker Soundcore earpods and they have a lot of audio presets one is for podcasts and works brilliantly for audiobooks. You just select the preset on the app.

I used these since they are so cheap for a long time. I was bothered by the silicone wing piece constantly sliding off. I upgraded to raycon fitness earbuds. My main issue is comfort and staying in the ear, and I refuse to spend 200 for earbuds.

Yes. As a brand and their prices, good entry brand sila of you enter the rabbit hole of being an...audiophile. If for Spotify and streaming movies, goods na yan.
