nice small headphones, they come in a very versatile caser that can be charged via USB-C or even with a wireless charger, the earbuds fit nice and snuggle, it comes with a few tips to adjust to your ears, they are pretty lightweight, the battery life on this is very impressive, almost all weeks on a single charge with an average use of 3-4 hours per day, the sound of this earbuds is awesome, rich bass and clear high, definitely a good option if you are in the market.

Soundcore Life dot 2s.
The sound is excellent. So is the fit.
It comes with multiple size eartips so there shouldn't be a problem finding a size to help the earbuds fit your ears. It also comes with two different sets of ear wings that you can use to help them fit snuggly in your ears.
The sound that it produces has very good highs,mids & lows.
The reason that I gave it only 4 ⭐ is because of the soundcore customization app. In order to download and use it you will have to agree to letting them have Access to all of your personal info. I read the the whole thing and I do not agree with it. But like I said, it sounds very good (excellent). I would recommend it to anyone. It's worth the money.

I must say, I am very impressed and pleased with this purchase. As soon as i connected these, the sound blew me away. I don't recall reading the description, but these earbuds have a beautiful sound quality, i use these for tv viewing at night when i cant sleep and they're perfect. They are easy to connect via Bluetooth and they have a long battery life, it could be weeks that go by and the case continues to have recharging juice so you can quickly recharge without needing to plug them into the wall. I give these my personal 10 stars.

Good Earbuds – Great Mobile App

I really like these Soundcore Life Dot 2S earbuds because of the quality and capabilities that Soundcore has built into them. There are a lot of companies offering very similar earbuds but Soundcore differentiates their products with the Soundcore mobile app that makes these earbuds stand out.
Fit and Function
The Life Dot 2S sit in the ear and use ear wings to help hold them in place. I prefer this type of earbud because its not as noticeable and its stable enough to use when jogging or working out. Soundcore includes three different size ear wings as well as three different size tips so its pretty easy to get a good solid fit. With the proper size tips and wings I can cut out most of the ambient room noise which is nice since these earbuds do not support Noise Reduction. The earbuds are IPX-7 rated so they will handle moisture and sweat. The earbuds are configured so that you can operate them singularly which I prefer for taking phone calls or as a pair. Note that they do not auto pause when an earbud is taken out which is a missing feature. The earbuds can last up to 10 hours on a single charge and the case holds 3 more charges. When powering up the earbuds they tell you their power level and the case power level is displayed via LEDs on the front of the case. You can also see the earbud power level in the Soundcore mobile app. The case can be charged wirelessly or with a USB-C cable which is included. I like the wireless charging feature because it allows me to charge the case when my phone is not on the wireless charger. Using the Soundcore mobile app you can assign control functions to each earbud’s button. You can assign volume up/down, next/previous, play/pause and voice assistant to the earbud buttons when you use a Single Tap, Double Tap and Hold for 1 second. This gives you total flexibility when it comes to setting up the earbud control. On the downside, the earbud buttons are mechanical which means you actually have to push the button to engage the function and this can be problematic if you have sensitive ears. I paired these earbuds to my iphone, ipad and windows laptop without any issues.
Sound Quality
I think the sound quality of these earbuds are in line with others at this price range. They produce good midrange and highs that sound crisp and undistorted. The bass is typical of what you get with earbuds. What makes these earbuds sound better however is the Soundcore mobile app which allows you to choose from 22 preselected Equalizer settings as well as the ability to create two additional custom equalizer settings. The equalize also has 8 reference points which gives you good flexibility when creating your personal settings. So whether you like music or pod cast its easy to find a preset equalizer setting to meet your needs. When taking calls on these earbuds I found the audio quality to be good and the caller said I sounded good as well.
Pros
- 22 pre-configured and two customizable Equalizer settings in the Soundcore app
- Wireless charging for the case and 10 hours per charge on the earbuds
- IPX-7 rating
- Ear wing and buds = great fit
- Configurable Earbud controls
- Soundcore Mobile App one of the best available
Cons
- Mechanical buttons on the earbuds
- No Auto pause on earbud removal

Tiny with Big Sound.

The Anker Life Dot 2S are good earbuds with great sound in a small footprint. These earbuds are not really expensive and they perform very well. They are tiny but produce great sound and deep bass. They don't have noise cancelling but they can mask the outside noise very well. These tiny buds have a button in the center that can be mapped to do different tasks such as play/pause, next, previous, volume up and down. You can also set a button to trigger the voice assistance on your phone. Unfortunately you cannot answer calls using the buttons, very strange. Hopefully they can fix that with a firmware update.
There are some other good perks you get with this earbud like the wireless charging case. The earbuds are rated for 10hrs of playtime and 40hrs charging with the case. They are magnetically secure to the case and the case can be charged with USBC. They are also IPX7 water resistant. The charging case size is relatively small compared to my other more expensive earbuds. On the outside of the case you have three lights that will indicate the charge percentage. Pairing these earbuds to my Android phone was very easy, just go to the bluetooth settings and pair them. I wish they worked like my other earbuds, they automatically popup on your screen to be paired.
Like I said before they do sound extremely well and they are loud. The calls sound quality was also good. People on the other end were able to hear me loud and clear and vice versa. If you use the Soundcore software you can change your listening mode from a large selection. My favorite one was the “Acoustic” . In my opinion it was the best balance of all. These earbuds fit nicely and secure and they won't come off. However because of the ear tips they are not foam gels sometimes it feels like you have ear plugs. You may also have to change the ear wings and ear tips depending on your ear size so it can fit properly. In my case I had to change the ear wings to small with medium tips.
Overall these earbuds produce great sound, they are tiny, water resistant and come with a 40hrs wireless charging case at a reasonable price. In the box you get the Dot 2S earbuds, charging case, sets of ear wings and ear tips, USBC cable and manuals.

Value Life Dot 25 vs Apple AirPod 1, AirPod Pro

Anker Soundcore Life Dot 25
Anker is one of those companies who’s demonstrated impressive momentum to grow their business by expanding into many other areas outside their core competence.
Creating new earbuds today in a crowded market is a mighty tall order these days. The market is already flooded with a plethora of options, emphasizing different characteristics, be is sound quality (Shure/Sennheizer), active noise cancellation (Bose), comfortably, convenience, etc.
The Soundcore Life Dot 25 by Anker addresses the cost conscious segment of the market, imho.
For this review I compared the Soundcore Life Dot 25 with Apple’s popular standard long stem AirPods (gen 1), as well as the much more costly AirPods Pro.
My results were mixed. Considering comfort the Life Dot 25 were far more comfortable and fit better than the standard AirPods. They form a tight seal (though there are different plug liners) and were nearly as comfortable as the reference AirPods Pro. One downside to a tight fit is when walking it creates ear pressure for me. This could probably be resolved with different tips.
There is an advantage to this however, that although Anker’s offering lacks ANC active noise cancellation with a microphone array to cancel external noise, the nice fit effectively acts as passive noise cancellation.
With respect to sound quality, the Life Dot 25 sound far better than 1st gen standard AirPods. The sound is however not nearly as crisp and refined as the reference AirPods Pro. For example, listening to the Spoon Solo in Soundgarden’s Spoonman, there was very little definition with the Life Dot 25. Had I not known what to listen for I might have missed it or mistaken the artists intent. AirPods Pro experience night and day with respect to clarity.
Pros
+ build quality
+ pleasant design
+ comfortable fit
+ connects quickly
+ IPX-7 water-resistant
+ 8mm drivers w/ bass
+ 10 hours playtime
+ 40 hours charge in case
+ 2 hours charge in 10 minutes
+ wireless charging
Cons
-no ANC, but passive noise cancellation
-super snug fit, creates ear pressure walking
-sound quality lacking, good bass less mid and highs
-hard to establish market share in crowded space
Conclusion
Don’t get me wrong, I like these. If you’re on a budget there’s not much to dislike, however if you’re willing top quality you’ll have to spend more on competing products, therefore I would not personally recommend to a friend.

The Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2S exceeded my expectations in sound quality. I have heard that Anker wireless earbuds and headphones had good sound but I had no idea that they would rival and even surpass some of my more expensive headphones and true wireless earbuds in sound quality. For the price of these True-Wireless Earbuds, they are without a doubt the best I have heard for the price. Additionally, when you download the app and switch to custom it immediately improves the sound signature and adds clarity to phone calls for some reason even if you switch back to the Soundcore Signature the clarity and overall sound stage remains greatly improved. However, the improvements do not stop there I have been fighting with volume boosters and equalizers for my wireless earbuds and headphones to increase the volume and gain sound stage improvements and clarity for years. Back when I could easily root my phones and use Viper4Android it was not a problem but since most manufacturers really locked down on their bootloaders preventing root and custom roms it has been an issue. That is until now with the Equalizer built into the Soundcore app increasing the sliders upward actually increases the volume as well and works very well in letting you shape the sound just how you want it and as loud as you can stand it and or as loud as the earbuds or headphones your using can handle. However, even with these Life Dot 2S True-Wireless Earbuds for the first time in a long time, I can listen to music as loud and clear as I want to and still have additional volume overhead if needed. This is coming from an audiophile that builds car stereo systems and has high-end home and car stereo equipment. I have one Anker Bluetooth speaker but this is my first set of Anker Earbuds or Headphones. The Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2S True-Wireless Earbuds come with an impressive array of earbud sizes so you can be sure to find a size that fits your ears. I am very impressed with the sound quality of these Earbuds no matter what you are listening to and for phone calls the sound quality is great. Now that I have discovered these I want some over-the-ear Anker Headphones. I definitely would recommend these and other Anker Earbuds and Headphones. I have used Anker accessories for a while and I knew they were good but I had no idea how good their audio equipment could be!

For every day use when you don't need noise cancellation these are very good sounding earbuds.
I really like the little ear fins that you can put on for a more secure fit, so even without an over the ear piece these have stayed in my ears very well when hot and sweaty working out in the yard.
The recharge case is compact and has a built in charging cable and optionally can be charged wirelessly on a charge pad.
They pair very easily with my iPhone and the IPX5 Protection makes the earbuds water-resistant so you can keep on listening in the rain if ya want to, so sweat is no problem but I wouldn't shower or even think of swimming with them.

The features, quality and durability offered by these headphones are way above I would expect at this price point. Customizable buttons, fully adjustable equalizer and a comfortable fit during any type of use. I’ve had zero concerns about having one fall out during a long run or during any exercise where I was sweating more than usual. And the play time is outstanding. And I have only had to charge these maybe once every 3 days.
Again, the value for dollar for these is incredible and I highly recommend them.

Let me start by saying Im not a professional sound reviewer lol.. Just an average Jane. I purchased these 5 days shy of 1 year ago. I love them! I really like how i can customize the sound & one works without the other. The battery life is better than i could've ever imagined. You can literally tell the difference between the cheaper pair and this one. I also have issues getting most to stay in my ears but these stay just fine. Tbh ive been cheap when it comes to ear buds in the past out of fear of losing them. I finally decided i wanted a "better" pair & anticipated id be spending $100+ on the galaxy buds. I found these around $65 I believe with good reviews so I gave them a try. Ive now washed them in the washer 2x. Water resistant.. sure. Water proof... no. Lol One of them stopped working. I contacted the company & they responded pretty promptly through email. Within maybe 3 days i got a replacement in the mail & a very nice email back saying that they dont even expect me to return the pair I damaged. Im a firm believer that great customer service makes or breaks the product & they surely delivered on that.

I decided to give these a try and I’m glad I did. First off, the case and extra earbuds are nice to have. The case is charged via USB C and has wireless charging also.
The fit in the ear is very snug, these will not fall out your ears. Even though, these don’t have ANC, the fit in your ear is very good that it blocks out some noise while listening to music. I charged these fully the first day I received them and have not charged again and it’s been a week. The case has three dots to let you know the charge level, but the earbuds also tell you what charge they are when you place them in your ears.
The sound quality is good, the app has a EQ that allows you to tune the sound better. Overall, this is a great pair of earbuds, I’d definitely buy them again. They connected very easily out the box to my iPhone 13 Pro Max. And when I take them out the case everyday to wear them they pair seamlessly also.

These earbuds have a great sound for the price you pay. Solid highs and lows and easy to wear for extended times. When I travel I take these above my Bose for ease of carrying and the fact that the they do a great job in noise cancelling. They also last quite long and need limited recharging on a short haul trip.

I got tired of carrying around an old MP3 player, with corded headphones, for music and my phone for texting and what not. After reading reviews I decided to try these Anker headphones and I like what I am hearing. The fit comfortably in my ear and the music sounds rich and full. They also paired easily with my Motorola Edge phone. Lastly, the battery life is outstanding and they do charge quickly. I gave 4/5 stars because occasionally I will hear a bit static when I am streaming Pandora but that could be stream and not the headphones.

I bought this as a gift for my music enthusiast husband. He wears them 6 days/week for 12+ hours/day as he is working and they have held up very well so far despite the rugged usage. He was impressed by the sound quality, comfort, long battery life and very quick charging. So far they have been very durable as well. Bought this as a "deal of the day" so they are unbeatable for the price. Happy with this purchase.
