Product Information

Unfortunately, unlike many of Soundcore’s other products, the Life Dot 2 don’t connect to their mobile app, so elements like the EQ and multi-function button configuration can’t be changed. I’m not sure why this is the case as these would be great features to have and I’d definitely like to see these earbuds integrate with the Soundcore app in the future. Battery Life Overall, the listening experience for the price is excellent. Soundcore has done a great job at providing a great sound at an affordable price point. The bass-focused sound signature could be particularly nice if you choose to use these earbuds during sport and exercise as the beat of the music will be able to keep you energised. Microphone Quality

Good build and versatile design. The model looks durable. The plastic is of high quality, and you can’t find fault with the assembly. The design is calm and versatile. Not particularly eye-catching, but not boring either. No branded application support. Although the application itself exists, minimal audio customization would not hurt many users. Well, ideally, control settings. Even without additional mounts, purely due to the shape and high-quality ear pads. And with them, the headphones will not be accidentally shaken out. Add here the declared waterproof IPX5 (against rain and sweat), and we get an excellent model for sports. It should be added that the headphones provide good sound insulation, even by the standards of in-ear headphones. For the metro, they are quite suitable. The earbuds also feature one-step pairing and can be swapped in and out of the case without any connection issues. If you choose to use only one of the earbuds, it will automatically switch into mono mode. Scene. Not bad for vacuum TWS. Wider than the head, but flat. There is no elaboration in depth. The images are determined; the sizes are average. I did not notice any critical distortions.Overall, I think the design of the earbuds is quite nice. Of course, I’d prefer less glossy plastic, but the design is most importantly comfortable to wear and easy and straightforward to get a secure fit. Charging Case I couldn't find any good comparisons of the differences in sound quality between these two earbuds, and I have tried both so I thought I should make a brief post on this. The Bass mode has stupid amounts of bass, to much for me to listen to in any normal setting, which I'm saying as quite a basshead who enjoys bass boosted headphones.

How to increase the bass of your headphones? Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 review – Battery life and microphone Some desynchronization of picture and sound. You can watch the video, although the lag is noticeable. But with games, it is more difficult.

There is no volume control, which is very frustrating. And there are quite working options for one-button control, where there is volume control. But here again, the choice was made in favor of the voice assistant. Who uses it with headphones, share in the comments. It seems to me that this is completely inconvenient, but I could be wrong. If we talk about buttons, then they are convenient. Pressing is light but perceptible: you always understand whether you pressed a button, but you don’t need to “hammer” the headphones into your ears. Headphones of this brand have not yet come across to me for testing. It is always interesting to discover something new. I can tell right away that the headphones did not disappoint. Their main advantage is an excellent combination of price and overall quality. This is the reason I kept the A1s over the Dot 2s, though if would mostly use them for listening at home, then I would have kept the Dot 2s.

Autonomy. Up to 8 hours on a single charge and up to 100 hours with a case. These are real numbers. Already 6 hours on a single charge, the headphones will last even at high volume and AAC connection. Detail and naturalness. Also, at a good level. Of course, the midrange details most often suffer, but the emphasis on the high frequency gives a feeling of pseudo-detail, which smooths out the dip in the midrange. But in general, you can hear everything plus or minus. Voices and live instruments sound quite natural. If you get into the nuances, then female voices may sound incomplete, and there are distortions on instruments with an abundance of high-frequency sounds. The good news is that instruments with a low-frequency range sound more natural than expected, without a synthetic halo.Compared to the Dot 2's the A1s have fuller bass, but also a bit more boomy. Both are bass boosted, but to my ears, the bass boost of the Dot 2s is mostly in the lower frequencies, which is great IMO for normal listening, since then the boosted bass doesn't tend to overpower the rest of the frequency spectrum. Also, the treble of the A1s sounds smoother but more veiled. At the same time, the detail in the treble of the Dot 2s can come over as a bit artificial sometimes (though only just a little). Comparatively, the Dot 2s sound a bit more hollow than the A1s, but overall still a bit more natural perhaps (to me atleast). Interestingly, when switched on, there is a voice prompt “battery high,” given the autonomy, it is unlikely to hear “battery low” if such is provided at all. Thanks to their light weight and construction, the earbuds are very comfortable to wear. I can achieve a secure fit within the ear to wear the earbuds for a long time without them becoming uncomfortable. The AirWings could come in quite handy if you want to use these with running, Soundcore includes a few different sizes of both ear tips and AirWings in the box to ensure that you can get the best fit for you. Both of these are easy to remove and swap if needed without too much hassle.

Comfortable and secure fit. The headphones are very secure and comfortable to sit in your ears. They cannot be shaken out even during sports. And they do not tire for a couple of hours or more. Medium frequencies (MF). Due to the peculiarities of the emphasis on the low frequencies, the middle here is somewhat failed. At the same time, it is quite smooth and well developed. However, it is often lost behind bass and treble. TOP 5: Comfortable ear pads for headphones – all types Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 review – Connection quality Rich kit. There are more ear cushions than usual (5 pairs in total). Well, it’s good that there are 3 different sizes of additional mounts.The appearance can be examined more closely in the photo. Summing up, we can say that the headphones look quite universal: not bright, but not “gray” either. Assembled with high quality, it seems durable. The word that best describes their design and build is solid.
