soundcore by Anker- Life Dot 2 NC Earbuds True Wireless Headphones, 35-Hour Playtime, IPX5 Water Resistant, Black

I'm really enjoying the bass on these. Make sure to choose the right inserts for a tight seal and turn on the bass setting in the Soundcore app. I'm using it with iOS and the Soundcore doesn't have to be running for the settings to take effect. There are 2 tap settings, double tap and hold. Fully customizable. The battery life have been awesome too. I do put it in the case when not in use but I feel that they are used more than stored. According to Anker they have fast charge so that must be it. As for the noise canceling and transparency mode. Both are pretty good. There are a total of 4 settings. Normal, NC, full Transparency and only vocal transparency. Full NC took me a while to get use to. Feels like you're in a void, but eventually I was able to immerse myself more in the experience. I don't like vocal transparency. Just couldn't get used to it. So I use full transparency most of the time and when I really want to enjoy something I turn on NC. I also call my wife at least once a day and call quality have been fine. Lastly, the size of the case was a concern, since it was hard to judge from the packaging. But I'm happy to say once I have it in my hand it's only a little bigger than my friends AirPod case. Pics for reference.

Upon receiving the Anker Life Dot2 NC earbuds I noticed that they were well packaged. Came in a sturdy box with extra packaging to protect the earbud. The boxing included left and right Life Dot 2 NC earbuds, 4 extra pairs of ear tips and 2 extra pairs of ear wings to give you a perfect fit, a storage charging case and a USB-C charging cable. However, you must provide your own charging brick. I had to download the Soundcore App to get started. After downloading the app make sure the earbuds are placed in the charging case and do a firmware update. This is a must! (Do this first before you do anything else with the earbuds or they will not work properly.) Charging the earbuds were simple. Just place the earbuds in the charging case. I noticed my first use the earbuds lasted about 4.5 hours with the ANC turned on. The Anker Life Dot2 NC earbuds connects via Bluetooth and include Amibent Sound and Noise Canceling Technology. The pairing of the earbuds to my phone was quick and simple. Each earbud connects separately so can use only one earbud if needed. The instructions included were straight forward and easy to follow. The Anker Life Dot2 NC earbuds are IPX5 water resistant. Can not swim or shower while wearing them but withstand a very sweaty workout. Just make sure you clean them after each use. The earbud control setup are based on user preference. User options are can use a double tap or long pause tap to control the volume, pause, play, or Google Assistant (Siri, Alexa). The app is used to control all other functions. The app is very easy to use. The Soundcore App also has equalizer controls. I can custom the equalizer to my liking or I can choose a default setting. I found the default setting sounded great. The earbuds does a great job canceling out low freq noises when ANC is turned on. With ANC there are 3 different modes of noise canceling. I had to play around with the different modes to hear which one sounded best with music. This is totally a user preference. The volume and sound quality of the Anker Life Dot2 NC by Soundcore is great. They get loud but not too loud. I found the comfortable Volume level to be at about 80%. Very clean sound which sounded great with music. Phone calls on the earbuds where very clear and no background noises were noticed. The individual on the other end stated that my voice was very clear and they could understand me easily. The earbuds include 4 mics. After using the Anker Life Dot 2 NC earbuds for a while now I would highly recommend this product. With both the ease of use and the great sound quality these earbuds are win win for both the novice and experienced earbud users.

First of all I completely charged the ear buds. Next I swapped out the ear bud tip for the smallest one (there are 5 to choose from). I left the ear wing as is that was already installed on it. There are 2 others you can choose from. Next I paired to my phone and began listening to music. It was so nice to leave the phone in one part of the house and continue doing housework throughout while still listening to music. Later on I called a friend of mine to see how well she could hear me. She said she didn't notice any difference than when I called and talked directly through the phone. She said it sounded great and she was very impressed on how far I could walk around without any interference at all. I also had no problems hearing her which sometimes I did via the phone itself. So easy to answer a call, just easy double tap and you have them online. These are so much better than the neck headphones I own. You have 7 hours playtime a total of 35 hours with charging case and there are 4 mics for clear calls. Water resistant and you can do a quick charge for 10 minutes which should give you approximately 1½ hours of listening time. Mine have never fallen out my ears with everything that I have done with them. I have a mini trampoline that I use for exercise and the ear buds have stayed in place. The box states Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation with multiple modes, but I have not used this feature, not really sure how to do it. The one bad is the instructions are not that clear cut to me. All in all I do love these.

I finally found the perfect earbuds for me. These earbuds come with four different: XS, S, M, L, and XL. I'm a petite woman and have always had bad luck finding earbuds to fit in my ears. I'm using the XS set and they fit wonderful. There's also two sets of ear wings. I'm using the small set. I can't get over how great the fit is. They don't hurt my ears after continuous use like others do. The sound is crisp. The app is easy to use. When on a phone call I can hear well and the recipient can hear me well also. Answering and ending calls works great as well as pausing and playing music. The one thing I don't like, and I may have missed it somehow, but you can only turn the volume up and down from the phone itself. I don't like that because I use these earbuds to cut the grass and I want to set the volume to max so I can hear over the mower but I don't want it blasting before I get on it. I have an acre of land and the earbuds never lose connection to my phone outside.

We go through headphones and ear buds in my house like a growing baby goes through clothes. Either they break because they are cheaply made or we lose them since my husband uses them to ride his motorcycle and they fall out when he takes his helmet off and doesn't realize he lost them. So I've always been hesitant to buy headphones on the expensive side. So when I got the opportunity to try these I was like let's do this and see how it goes. And I love them! 10 minute charge really does get you about 1.5 hours of listen time. I have yet to charge them for the full time to see if they really do last 7 hours with full charging them. They do a great job with canceling out the noise. I have a house full of boys and pets. If it's not the dog barking and chasing a cat it's the kids yelling or playing video games and loud music. So I tend to not be able to talk on the phone or watch my shows because I can't hear over the noise. These little headbuds do a great job and I'm able to get some me time in the middle of the day now instead of in the middle at night lol. They are water resistant which is great for working out and running especially outside when their is a light rain. The best thing is that they come with so many extras to make sure you get the most comfortable fit and wear out of them. The calls are also clear when it comes to me hearing the other person or them hearing me. The ease of instal is easy too. All around these are a great buy! And I highly recommend them.

thia is my third purchase of these headphones very good product I love the advanced noise cancelling yoj can control via the software

I love my Life Dot 2 NC! They are the first pair of earbuds that have stayed in place with no discomfort (and I have gone through a lot of different earbuds). The fact that they have a long battery life and are wireless is amazing! I use mine when I am cleaning my house and also when I go for my daily walks and have not had any issues whatsoever with them! These are a must have if you listen to music and are on the go!

I have been using so many headphones, earphone and ear buds cause those tiny stuffs are so easy to lose, especially those who have young kids. For me, I personally love these ear buds. It fits perfectly. The sound quality is very clear. It does a good job to prevent outside noise, like baby cry, loud TV or music. I don't have to run to my bed room anymore whenever I need to take a phone call. Plus, I can enjoy videos while sitting on the sofa with my family. Definitely love my new toy.

Need headphones to cancel out background noise these are for you I can't hear anything with there on but my music working out in a loud gym can be distracting but with these headphones I no longer have that they take all background noise out there perfect

the comfortability is great, the sound could be a bit louder for the price listed, noise cancelling definitely. i only hear music which is great. the battery has been proven better than the Skullcandy buds, but not louder than Skullcandy or beats. so im guessing the battery was the biggest upgrade thats why the price is up there. overall i give it a 7 out of 10.
