Title: Four years later, a solid choice for this price bracket
Review: I’ve been using these headphones for the last four years, so this is the ‘wear and tear’ review. TLDR: they’re a good buy. Don’t depend on the microphone. Life cycle is about four-five years before comfort items will wear out.Firstly, the positives. These headphones make beautiful sound. I’ve used them for everything from meetings where I need clear communication to hours of bass singers on youtube. The range, the precision, the fidelity, all very good.The noise cancelling feature works well, and I particularly love the Transparency mode that allows me to still tell when my boss wants my attention while I’m jamming tunes.After three years of constant use, the battery life is still measured in days of continuous sound. I can usually get three days (36 hours, I don’t turn them off when I leave) with Transparency active in Bluetooth mode before I need to charge them.Now the negatives. There are a few construction flaws that this model suffers from. The material used to cover the foam on the earpieces is a kind of fake leather, and the seam is glued, not sewn, so after a year or two of use I found the adhesive would fail and the seam split, allowing the foam inside to make contact with my ears. I fixed it by sewing it up myself, but it’s still kind of annoying. Also the fake leather is starting to disintegrate after three years of daily use.There is a feature of this model that allows the user to change Noise Cancelling modes by tapping the side of one earphone. This appears to function by having some tiny bit inside that detects the tap and changes the mode. I know this because it doesn’t take very long before this tiny bit detaches and starts rattling around in there, and the ‘tap’ function stops working. The first one of these I purchased, the tiny bit detached in such a manner that it would change modes every time I turned my head. I contacted the manufacturer, and it was replaced under warranty, no questions asked. (I still have that old one, as long as I don’t turn it on and use a headphone cord with it, it still works great.) My second one broke in about the same time frame, but the little doohicky inside fell down in a different manner so it doesn’t bother me. Honestly the ‘tap’ function is cool, but it’s a gimmick I could do without, and have for the last three years.The microphone kinda sucks. I don’t use it. Folks say it makes me sound like I’m underwater.Lastly there are some plastic bits where the headphone band meets the headband padding that break over time. Again, it took years, but they’ve cracked and long-haired users can get strands caught in these crevices. I still find it comfortable to wear, but I have short guy hair.To summarize, I recommend these headphones to anyone. I have worn them continuously for four years in my office, and they have stood the test with a reasonable amount of wear and tear damage. I have purchased them for my wife and my children, and that kid uses his headphones more than I do. They are well suited to voice communication, gaming, and music. My next purchase will probably be this brand, and probably without that stupid ‘tap’ function.

Title: Absolutely love these – Neurodivergent review
Review: I absolutely love these as a neurodivergent person that wanted their first pair of affordable headphones to help with noise cancellation and decrease overstimulation.Transparency mode is extremely helpful and I can hear almost everything like normal while using it. I really like that I don’t have to take the headphones off or change the setting on my phone just to be able to hear someone. You can just use the feature (have to enable it in the app initially but not again after that) to change modes by “pressing” the right ear cup for a couple seconds or use the preprogrammed button on the left side.For Noise cancellation 10/10 these are amazing. The only sound they won’t cancel out completely in my perspective are really loud noises in close proximity like a professor using a microphone or someone loudly shouting. The volume is reduced though to a comfortable level for those circumstances. I actually cried when I tried the noise canceling for the first time and all of the background noise that bothers me so much every day was just eliminated.My head and neck haven’t hurt at all and I’ve been wearing them for at least 5+ continuous hours a day. I also have a really small head and most earbuds/headphones don’t fit me. These aren’t perfect but do stay on and feel secure as long as I’m not doing any exercise. No issues with Bluetooth pairing so far to both my iPhone and surface laptop. The feel of the headphones while on also doesn’t bother me at all, I actually find it comforting.Sound quality is pretty great. With really heavy bass tracks it can get a little muddy but 90% of the music that isn’t EDM or super bass heavy sounds fantastic. I had no idea music could sound so amazing.If you want affordable headphones that do well with noise cancelling get these 100%.

Review: Being a devoted fan of Anker products, I’ve been a satisfied user of the Soundcore Life Dot 2 for the past three years. These earbuds have proven their durability, maintaining excellent condition over time. The remarkable battery backup of 8 hours, coupled with the convenience of the charging case extending it to a week, has contributed to their longevity in my daily use.As someone who values Anker’s reliability, the decision to upgrade was driven by the desire for noise-canceling features. While the Soundcore Life Dot 2 served me exceptionally well, the enhanced functionality offered by the newer model with noise cancelation was a compelling reason to make the switch. The brand’s consistency in quality and innovation has certainly earned my continued loyalty.I’ve been enjoying these headphones for the past 2 days during various activities such as walks, movie sessions, and extended music listening, and I must say they’ve exceeded my expectations. As a self-proclaimed bass head, I can attest that the low-end response is impressive. However, for those seeking a balanced sound, the initial experience might not be as appealing, but the Soundcore app provides a solution with its customizable equalizer.The build quality leans towards plastic, but given the price point, it’s well-designed. The ear cups are remarkably soft with good cushioning, providing a comfortable fit. The headrest follows suit, enhancing the overall comfort during extended usage.The active noise cancellation (ANC) is truly noteworthy, giving a tough competition even to premium options like the AirPods Pro. One minor drawback is the transparency mode, which tends to amplify external sounds in windy or crowded environments, sometimes making conversations and wind noise more prominent. Extended use may lead to slightly warm ears, but it’s manageable.On the positive side, the Amazon delivery experience was commendable—swift and smooth. The fact that the product came directly from the original supplier adds a layer of trustworthiness.However, I must express dissatisfaction with the delivery personnel who left the parcel unattended outside my door. This could pose a security risk and is an aspect that needs improvement in the overall delivery service.

Review: I’ve had these charged and in use the past 2 hours and I am blown away.You download the app to adjust settings for sound. They connect really quickly.They are incredibly comfortable and light. The sound quality is fantastic. They come with 2 cables and a case.5 min charge is 4hr listening time . The noise cancelling is really good.Really impressed and definitely recommend. These are replacing a really expensive set I’ve had the past 3yrs that started falling appart. These are less expensive but feel higher quality.

Review: [I’ve edited this review after some time spent with the headphones]At first, being used to very neutral/transparent headphones, I got very shocked by the loudness of the low end on these. I’m still using an external software to adjust the equalization as the low end is too pronounced for my taste and seems overly present even for electronic music – I wish this feature was reduced in the future, or that an option to natively control it was given to the user.However, after two weeks of using, I noted several points that are very positive, which leads me to give a five-star review :- The headphones are really confortable and can be worn all day without fatigue.- The overall quality of sound (minus the bass being too present) is excellent for an item at this price (currently 7k).- The noise cancellation feature is quite weak in the treble, but works well with the mids and lows, and gives a lot of confort even without playing music when in noisy environments.- The battery life, and especially the fast charge, are great. It really behaves as advertised. For someone like me who struggles with charging his devices other than last minute, I’m over the moon with the ability to plug it for a few minutes and get a decent lifespan, enough to do a normal commute or fall asleep to music for example. That’s really a gamechanger from other BT headphones I had before- The customer service is excellent and very reactive. I must say that for a product priced so competitively, I didn’t not expect this quality of service.So all in all, after a second thought, I’m really recommending this product to anyone looking for a good price/quality headphones.
