    Best wireless earbuds ive ever owned. It came with many attachments to fit any ear comfortably. The soudcore app is a huge plus with the sound EQ and the options. Options like turning off noise cancellation and making it transparent so u can hear whats being said without removing headphones.. also programing the long hold and double taps

    I bought these as a gift for my significant other, and they loved it. The earbuds are easy to set up and have great sound. It may not be for the audiophile, but for the average user, these are great. They stay in the ear really well, which is important for these. The case is nice and functions as a charger. Overall, really solid set of earbuds at a great price.

    I bought these to replace my galaxy buds+ that I had for years and honestly they’re just as good! The ANC is ok, but great sound quality over all, like the app has different functions since I switch between podcasts and music a lot. I also bought these as a work/ fishing set of earbuds, I have AirPods which are also great but I wanted something a little tougher and had a better sweat resistant ranting since I work in a shop and my hands get dirty fast. If you’re looking for a good set of earbuds for working out or working outside or in a shop I definitely recommend these. Only 5 starts just cause of the case size

    this headset is great so far. i am able to wear it pretty much all day. you don't have to wear both to listen to music or talk on the phone. the charge holds well. i like the ability to use the app to control the noise canceling and ambience. So far i have no complaints. i even got my sister to purchase a pair.

    Good value earbuds with active noise cancelling. I wish the case could recharge wirelessly. Easily pairs with phone (reason for purchase) but not with tablet or computer.

    I've never used ear buds before. I prefer over the ear headphones. I was surprised how good they sound when listening to music. They're comfortable. I haven't used them with phone calls but imagine they would work just as well.

    I’ve had these for a little over a month. The price point of these are great and have a nice sound. You can customize what sound you prefer through the app and can toggle through various noise cancellations based on your environment. One drawback is the call quality isn’t always the best. Additionally the Bluetooth doesn’t seem to always sync up and the music can drop from time to time. Overall, I would absolutely recommend these to those on a budget.

    Just got back from vacation. I could barely hear my movie with the old ear buds. I heard plenty of kids and wind noise. Bought these as soon as I got home. Very quite with great sound. I love bass in my music, works great!

    It’s still early with these earbuds. They come factory set and don’t get loud enough. You have to get the app and through that you can customize your sound. I’m still playing with it but have not found the right sound I’m looking for. When not around any other noises they sound good but I like to use them during yard work. I’m am considering taking them back for different ones ☹️

    Giving it a three-star review for only three positives. I have a very deep ear canal and they do fit good. The noise canceling in my own opinion worked very well. The sound was ok. Poor to no bass even with bass boost. I listen to music at about 60% volume. I had to have these at almost 90% to get the same amount of sound that I get from my over-the-ear headphones.

    Great Budget Buds

    The Anker Soundcore Live Dot 2 XR Earbuds exceeded my expectations. Unboxing is straightforward. The earbuds come with several sizes for the tip and wings that "lock" them into your ear. It is easy to customize the fit. They are actually more comfortable for long periods than my premium wireless earbuds, so I find myself using these more often than not. The charging case is solid, easy to use, and works well. It is magnetic, which helps ensure the earbuds connect properly to charge. The Soundcore app is essential to using these earbuds. The default sound setting is too vanilla, though, so you'll want to play with the custom equalizer settings. If you crank the bass up, they sound much improved. Sound also improves if you turn on active noise canceling. But I like to wear these while hiking local trails with my dog, and the Transparency mode helps me hear approaching bikers and other hikers. However, the transparency mode is not quite as good as on some of the more premium earbuds. And that's a theme with these earbuds. I'm going with a 5-star review based on the quality, comfort, features, and price. But if they were priced the same as premium wireless earbuds, I'd have some complaints. In terms of pure sound, they fall just a hair short of faithful reproduction of natural sound. The sound is very good, but just a bit processed and doesn't sound as natural as the more premium units. That's not to say it is bad at all; it just falls short of great. However, the sound is clear and distortion-free. The 11mm drivers do a very good job of pumping out quality sound, and I can enjoy listening to any style of music on these little guys. The noise cancelation is quite good, but the transparency mode is a bit weak no matter which style you use (it has 3 modes for transparency). This is actually my biggest complaint about these earbuds for my style of use. Battery life is very good. Charging is accomplished via USB-C. Anker says you get 7 hours of talk time, but I used them today for over an hour of talk time on the phone and then immediately over an hour of music while hiking with transparency mode on. They were still at 80% battery, which I thought was rather impressive. I had expected them to be a good bit lower, especially since over one hour was on the phone. Speaking of calls, sound on a call is very strong. Both I and callers on the other end can hear clearly. With 4 beamforming mics, these little guys do an excellent job with phone calls. You can use the app to customize touch controls on each bud. The Life Dot 2 XRs are listed as waterproof. At the very least, they are sweat resistant. So, are these perfect? No. But at this price, I don't think they can be beat. Anker has been steadily improving their earbuds, and these are, IMO, their best yet. They have a terrific handle on the phone side of things and very good handle on comfort, battery life, and sound management. If they could just make the sound just a little more true to life and improve the transparency mode, these little guys could stand toe-to-toe with virtually any set of wireless earbuds out there. As it is, they are almost there, but at a much lower price point. That's a big win for Anker. For that reason, I can gladly recommend the Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 XR Earbuds. They sound good, look good, and feel good. And they offer a tremendous value with strong features at this price point. I find that I often choose them over my more premium earbuds simply because they are more comfortable and sound almost as good.
