The ability to use any earphone separately. There is no main and dependent here. Whichever one got out of the case, that one can be listened to. Then you can get the second one and listen to both. The transition from mono to stereo is fast and seamless.

The earbuds have physical button controls on each earbud, this button has a matte finish which makes it easily distinguishable as it has a different texture and feel to the rest of the earbuds. Additionally, just below the multi-function button is an LED indicator that will show the status of the earbuds, showing the charging status as well as Bluetooth connection status. The microphones are located below the LED. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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.

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 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 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. The underside of the earbuds is simple and has an ergonomic design to fit securely into the ear. The underside is also home to the charging pins and magnets that securely hold the earbuds into the charging case. The earbuds are compact and comfortable to wear.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. 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. As already mentioned above, the proprietary application is not supported here; there are no indicators inside, which means that the case’s charge cannot be recognized at all. Indeed, when there is 1 charge or less left in it, the indicator will light up. Red or blinking, or something like that. Of course, I didn’t manage to discharge it that much. If possible, I will supplement the review later. Some desynchronization of picture and sound. You can watch the video, although the lag is noticeable. But with games, it is more difficult.

High-quality sound. Emphasis on bass and treble, a slightly failed middle – the popular V-shaped frequency response. Good detail and naturalness. Energetic presentation. The sound is universal, interesting, and high quality.TOP 5: Comfortable ear pads for headphones – all types Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 review – Connection quality

Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 fits securely and comfortably in your ears.The full ear pads are of high quality, there are enough size options, although the average ones, installed “by default,” suited me. Headphones do not rub, do not tire. I spent about 2 hours in them at most without a break – there was not even a hint of fatigue, which is suitable for a vacuum model. And the fit is still really reliable. How to increase the bass of your headphones? Anker Soundcore Life Dot 2 review – Battery life and microphone 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). 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.The Anker Life Dot 2 controls are push-button and not fully functional. The scheme is also not the most intuitive, but you can get used to it: 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. The pairing process is extremely simple: we take the headphones out of the case and find them in the list of available Bluetooth devices on your phone, player, or computer. You don’t even need to press anything. After pairing, the earbuds will automatically pair with the last device. By the way, the connection is very fast – about 6 seconds to turn on the headset and connect. Low frequencies (LF).Accentuated, but without fanaticism. These are far from basshead headphones. The bass is relatively high quality (without dirt and hum), moderately fast. Not as percussive as we would like (on some music), but rather voluminous, it shows itself well in electronics. The upper bass is accentuated the most.
