Fantastic sound quality for the price, very happy with purchase.
Good price , seem well made . Very easy to pair . Nice sound .
These are a great little pair of earbuds, with really good sound quality for the money. Would definitely buy again.
The sound quality for me is great and it’s really easy to connect however there’s one thing that I don’t like and thats the fact that you cannot check the battery life of both earbuds and the case at the same time.
Noise cancellation isn’t as good as the more expensive model that I had but still does enough for me
These have to be the best headphones I’ve ever tried the sound is exceptional. The quality is phenomenonal. For the price they are an absolute bargain. I’m so glad I found them.
Brilliant headphones for the money! I can’t see how the 100+ ones are worth considering at all over these.
Sound quality is great and the battery life is way better than expected!
Easy to set up great battery life and charging pod .fits in ears comfortable
Absolutely fantastic item. Sound quality is good and charger holds for hours!
Must buy!
Battery life has been good they sound good and don’t fall out. Very impressed with the pairing too all the “cheap” Bluetooth earphones I have had in the past have had naff battery and pairing so I have been pleasantly surprised with these.
Only used for speech and the quality is good enough. Excellent connectivity and battery life. Very good value for money.
Loved these earbuds from the moment I got them. Small, lightweight, good sound quality.
Unfortunately, a charging problem developed with one of the earbuds, but a phone call to customer services had the issue sorted out to my satisfaction straight away. Great experience.
Even though I had a problem, I would still recommend these, so much in fact I have brought another pair as a present.
I trust Anker as a brand and I’m so pleased I bought these earphones. Most of the earphones I looked at reviews for were way out of my budget so when I saw these I thought it made a good compromise. I’m really pleased with them so far and they actually fit my little ears.
Absolutely excellent headphones for the price. Connect every time, the battery seems to last for ages, the sound quality is more than acceptable for podcasts and music.
Brought this product when it was in sale, honestly one of the best purchases I’ve ever brought. Amazing value, great sound quality, would 100% recommend getting this product.
I like that they are noise cancelling and that their battery life is so long. The sound quality isn’t bad although this brand also has a sport version and the sound on those is even better.
I bought these a while back and was struggling to write an honest review but let me tell you these thing are amazing I work in a very hands on manual job so they are used to be dropped,stood on and even on occasion slid across a workshop floor. But the sturdy material makes them unstoppable. The sound is fantastic and easy to control the head phones from simply tapping the side to pause skip song or skip back. I still haven’t found a way to turn volume up or down from just the headphone though.
Battery life is amazing, like it’s not using any energy at all. Long hours of listening and still running. They are very light which is important with longer periods. Sound is very good especially for the price.
I wanted these for listening to podcasts/ hands free calls, and not pay the earth. They definitely fit the bill
I have been using these almost on a daily basis. Do not expect a high end product but you do get a good experience for work or pleasure purchase. There are some small issues with the microphone sensitivity
Pros; good noise cancellation, good battery life, quick charge.
Cons; Can easily fall out if you take them to the gym. during phone calls, people complained that they could hear too much and not my voice clearly.
Overall a great purchase.
Had these before. Lost the case so bought a new pair. Good quality and good battery life. The charging case lasts a long time too.
My second pair of sound core headphones…….. First pair have been abused through the years and sail perfect. These so far have followed suit. Highly recommend
Good fitting headphones which is what i was looking fo
I am really surprised about this product quality. Really good, and cheap.
Good product specially considering price/quality.
Fair noise cancellation, clear sound, comfortable to wear. I am happy with them
My 2nd pair love these ear pods bass is deep and loud price at a bargai
Love using these at the gym so I don’t have wires bouncing all over the place, and they stay in my ears really well so I don’t have to worry about them falling out.
I’m no audio expert but they sound great to me!
One bud has controls when you touch it, took me a while to work out why sometimes when I held it in my hand, the song would skip etc. That’s cool to use once you look up the controls
This is the second pair I have purchased. The first, in black was for my wife. The second, in white, for my daughter. They are both delighted with the comfort and sound quality. Certainly, from my perspective the noise cancellation is excellent as they are now both totally oblivious to anything I say. I have a more expensive pair of Bose headphones, which often suffer from intermittent connection issues to the “slave” earbud. No such issues with the Anker Earbuds, which represent far better value as a result.
Easy to pair. Bit tricky getting used to tapping twice to pause, but work well once you get used to that and I really like them. Nice pale green colour.
Great size and sound quality for what is needed. They feel comfortable and stay in your ear. Very pleased for the price paid.
Quite impressive sound for the price.
Fits well and stays in when moving around.
Battery life is better than expected as well.
Connects and disconnects straight away.
So far so good.
The choice of size of ear pieces is a big plus. I have found previously that ear pieces have been too large and uncomfortable . These are great.
Feels really well made and work brilliantly. Only missing volume control. Would be perfect if this was included.
For listen the song, are perfect, but when you call someone outdoor, the other person will listen all conversation around you but not what you are saying
These are exceptional quality for the price. Anker really outdo themselves!
Very good sound overall. The bass preset is mind blowing.
Good sound stage for the price. Controls are a bit fiddley and take some remembering. Easy to pair with your device. A supported app would be good
I love it good in reasonable price. I can say all in one with limited price and best brand.
Good pod, good quality, can’t control much volume through it and noise cancellation is ok only too. Pretty colour and reliable for the price I paid
Pleased I paid more than I would have liked as the sound quality and range far outweighs my previous head phones. Bottom line: don’t waste your money on cheaper alternatives.
Great value for running, don’t use controls too much as they are a bit fiddly but the sound is really good for the price!
Bough these because they were cheap but I was pleasantly surprised by how good they are
Seem to last forever with the case as that charges them when not in use
Loved so much my partner also bought a pai
Just bought these very good the only problem I have they won’t stay in my ears
I bought it as a present for a friend. He is very very happy with a big smile
Good price and does the job. They don’t fall out of my ears as I thought they would, even during vigorous activity
Sound quality is good enough for podcasts and music, even in very loud environments.
Never have to worry about them running out of power as the case provides a few additional charges.
The case and earpods have survived a few drops without damage. Earbuds have fallen in water a few times with no damage.
Overall (after 9 months) I am highly satisfied with these earbuds. These are perfect if you don’t want to spend too much or you want to try out earbuds or you want a pair that isn’t too precious to lose or damage.
Top tip: make sure you rotate the buds after putting them in your ears so you get a good seal and higher quality sound.
I have tried multiple brands of earbuds around this price and can honestly say these are the best by far. The sound quality, noice cancellation, battery life and fit all surpass any expectations I had for a 30 pair of earbuds. They are easy to set up and the Bluetooth connection stays strong meaning I can leave my phone and not worry about them disconnecting if I move around the house/garden. They are VERY waterproof, I’ve worn them in the shower and they’ve also been in the washing machine after being left in a trouser pocket and you cannot tell a difference in sound quality. There is honestly not enough I can say about them, don’t waste your money on a more expensive pair and just buy these!
Can’t find any issues with these headphones, have had many in ear headphones and these have been my favourite.. The case has fallen off a house roof and hardly has a scratch on it and been through the washing machine more than once and I’ve never had an issue.
Love how small and sleek these are, the case looks like a pebble. Sound quality is amazing and they stay in the ear well. I didn’t have a positive experience with my previous earbuds (different brand) so hoping these last better.
Excellent sound for the price. The Bluetooth connection is strong and reliable. The microphone worked well for a WhatsApp conversation. The earphones are easy to take out of the small charging case. I had bought a highly rated unbranded set of earphones from Amazon for a few pounds less, based on reviews there, but they were no good. I bought these based on various independent reviews.
Sound quality isn’t the best, controls can be a bit hut and miss.. but the battery life is great and they are fully functional with just on earphone in. Not bad for the price.
I like them cuz they cheap plus’s I like base but if u lookin for quality get some expensive stuff
Love them! I can’t provide any kind of expert opinion on the sound quality but I think it’s fab! The pink colour is cute, they’re comfy to wear for a long time, they don’t fall out, the charger case is sturdy, small, quick to charge and the battery lasts for ages. I’ve had them for a few months and they’re still working, hopefully they’ll still be working next year, but at least I won’t lose sleep over the price of them if my dog ends up chewing one.
Connection is easy, just keep them in the charger no hassle to connect, sound quality is good at this price point, a bit cheep looking and feeling though, both the pods and the case have a cheap look about them.
My first bluetooth earbuds and quite happy with them. Kind of awful, and in micro font, instructions though, but you can find better ones on their website, then all is clear. Quite comfy too and the sound quality seems pretty good to me.
They fit perfectly, easy pairing with my Android Samsung phone and very good sound. I just received them, so still working out how to control volume with them. Very good quality… And good price!!! I just give 4 stars, because I belive nothing can be perfect.
I don’t like the unjustified heavy bass and this has plenty of them. I find myself adjusting the volume when listening to anything other than jazz or classical.
Solid build, good sound quality, long lasting battery. The app does not recognize these so you can’t equalize the sound. If you are not used to these, there is no on off button. They turn on when you open the case and start searching for devices.
Overall a good value for money at the Prime Day purchase price of 24.
Produces terrific sounds. Also blocks outside noise really well for the price. My only gripe is that it doesn’t feel secure in my ears no matter which size ear tips I use. I find myself constantly pushing it in my ear as it feels like it’s falling out.
So these were purchased on a lightning deal for a friend who had managed to lose his previous pair of Anker in ear phones.
His thoughts are that they are excellent, especially when you consider they were less than 30!
Ok, they are not quite as good as his previous P3 mini’s and not even close to the Libery 3 Pro’s I use (which are better than others costing more than twice as much), but for less than 30 the quality is astonishing!
Even the call quality is very good, I could hear him easily while he was walking down a busy street.
Battery life is superb also with the case and phones giving something like 30 hours of playing time.
Overall, if you can get them on a lightning deal (they come up fairly regularly) then for the price you will simply not get anything better in my opinion.
Thanks for reading and I hope this was useful.
My package was NOT a repackaged customer return. I only joined the world of wireless headphones about 3 months ago. I already own a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro. Bought these as an extra pair to use for work. I chose them specifically because because they didn’t have active noise cancellation, and they’re a good brand with good reviews. The passive noise cancellation is almost as effective as the active noise cancellation on my Galaxy Buds Pro. Don’t be put off by the negative comments about touch controls, it’s just as difficult with my Galaxy Buds Pro so it’s probably because the technology is so small and not limited to these. These feel more secure in my ear than my Galaxy Buds, so I’ll be using these as my go-to. I’m chuffed with them.
This was my second pair I brought of these however unlike the first pair which were perfect 1 side does not hold its charge as long as the other. Probably just an anomaly from a normally good product. Overall 4.5 out of 5
The case is neat, if a little slippery (so far it has survived one tumble across the floor without damage). The pairing is slick and triggered by the case opening, so there’s no robot voice chirping in your ear. One device is paired automatically, and there’s a button in the case to pair further devices. The battery life is very good. I sometimes wear these all day, and they truly do last for hours and recharge in the case several times before you need to plug it back in. Both buds can be used singly and have touch controls. Play/pause is the most useful touch action, there is no volume control on the buds. Sound is crisp and perfectly good for my podcasts and tunes. Microphone has good pickup and works well for calls. Lastly, the buds are very compact and stylish, so I feel good wearing them.
These have been much better quality than other similarly priced buds I’ve tried. I would recommend them.
Ok, item arrived quickly due to being available on Prime. Packaging is decent and comes with a small booklet and instructions manual. Some may have difficulties reading the manual as the writing is rather small.
The housing or case is small enough so you can just chuck it in your pocket and it charges the headphones while they are inside in it. The case has a logo on it but it’s all black and made of good, sturdy plastic.
When you open the case you will find the two headphones inside, with a small sign as to which headphones is for which ear but the left is on the left so it’s easy to remember. The headphones are small enough and light enough so they don’t pull your ears and they are comfortable to wear. They are magnetic and snap back into the case when you put them back in.
Sound quality is pretty good, I’m sure it’s not as great as headphones that cost 4x more but they genuinely sound good. There are three Equaliser modes, you can change between these although nothing tells you which one you are currently using,so you need to listen out for the difference between these.
The touch control works reasonably well, I hadn’t had any issues with using it.
What is absolutely awful in this is the microphone. Forget about making a call if there is a slight wind and if you are walking just a bit fast! The microphone picks up the wind more than the normal phone mic, you generally can’t here a word! It’s fine if you are in the house and want to do something while on a call but forget using these for call outside,unless if there is no wind!
The Bluetooth range is REALLY good! I left my phone in our kitchen and walked to the spare bedroom, which is a good few meters away and ther we are walls in-between the rooms and the call was sounding clear and the other person on the call could hear me clearly too!
All in all I’m very happy with these headphones,my only gripe is with the microphone wind sensitivity, despite that issue it is a great value headphones and I can recommend them!
I got these as a replacement from my old MPOW ones, 1st thing i noticed was the audio was much richer & they fit my ear nicely BUT then when I tried to skip to the next song I tapped so much I thought I was typing morse code, the volume control interface is appalling, really lets it down. I haven’t even been able to change the equaliser mode smh.
Needed some new headphones quickly and like other Anker products I have purchased over the years. I have to say the sound quality is superb and the way they work with the charge case. The only feature I miss from my previously owned Beats is you can’t see how much battery is left on your iPhone. However that’s pretty minor and I am very pleased with the purchase
I’ll be brief here; if you’re on a budget, the sound quality is where you want the money spent, and Soundcore have provided here. My top recommendation would be to playa round with the three sound profiles, as I wasn’t that impressed with the one that ships out of the box, but once changed to another preset, I was delighted.
There’s a very noticeable thump to the sound off of these earbuds. I’m very happy with this, because most cheap earbuds either don’t provide good bass levels, or if they do, make everything sound muddy. These earbuds are of course a little bass heavy, these aren’t studio sets, but even lovers of genres like Rock will be happy with what’s provided here in terms of mids and treble.
Battery life has been really good, and the case seems to charge very fast. I never have battery anxiety with these, which is very reassuring.
The only con I can find is the ear tips. For me and my personal tastes, I would prefer if they were made out of a slightly softer material. They’re not hard, but if you have sensitive ears I’d recommend some cheap memory foam ear tips.
Ps; when they said mini, they meant mini. The case is tiny, and will fit in any pocket known to man, it’s crazy!
I don’t normally write reviews because I believe everyone should do their own research. These in ear phones blew my expectations out of the water! Amazing sound and bass.
I’d even argue they sound better then my 100 headphones which I use for my pc.
Don’t believe the reviews saying the sound is tinny or there’s no bass. If you read the instructions carefully, a few taps on the ear phones changes the bass, along with other great functions.
More then likely people who purchased this didn’t read the instructions and accidently changed the bass levels to 0 which would result in a tinny and bad sound.
The only downside I can think of (once you fully understand how the ear phones work) is you can’t change the sound level on the actual ear phones, if you want the sound louder, you have to use the device your using (mobile phone, tablet, smart TV etc)
Do yourself a favour and buy these, you won’t be disappointed!
Look really good quality and more expensive than they are! Love the chargeable box – I did order white but they are more cream/beige. Easy to pair with device and use. Didn’t fall out whilst in use but right was looser than left so going to use a different size ear piece and see if that’s better. Sound quality is really good and had no problems. Only annoying thing I kept forgetting was every time I touched it the song changed as it works by touch. Other than that really happy with purchase.
This pair blew me away… The volume is so loud.
The pair is very mid and high heavy until you tweak the onboard EQ. The bass EQ turns these into a altered beast! Although muddy and boomy… very fun. But the soundcore signature EQ is probably what you need to be on 90% of the time.
The presentation and quality for the price is excellent, but also expected by soundcore. They have been very consistent in providing quality appliances at a reasonable price and these are no different.
You get about 5 different pairs of eartip sizes so you get the perfect fit, charge cable and the usual instructions in the box.
The charge case is reasonably sturdy for the low price, and very pocketable! Just wish they supported wireless charging.
My only cons would be connectivity and the EQ. On the odd occasion, I get connection drop out and it won’t fix itself until you pause and play again… The EQ is a great feature. However, you can’t tell which EQ setting you’re on, you just get a monotonous beep which doesn’t change chime depending what setting you’re on. A voice prompt isn’t that hard… Come on Soundcore!
8.5/10
Really good earbuds, especially for the price. Good bass and sound quality, easy to use controls and holds battery well. After 2-3 months of mild use, one earbud was incredibly quiet compared to the other and has stopped working all together since. The seller contacted me and sent a new pair free of charge as they were covered under warranty, I received great service and the replacement pair work perfectly. My only negative point is that the buds don’t fit great in ear, I find that they are prone to falling out during a jog/ run.
The Soundcore P2 mini are a great value for earbuds
The bass on these earbuds are very amazing for its price but when I first got the buds the volume control and the EQ switch was very snappy and there wasn’t a problem after almost a month after the purchase the the EQ switch was very delayed, normally you have to triple tap to change an EQ mode but now I have to tap a lot of times to change it which is very inconvenient.
Overall this is my only issue but they are definetly the way to go if you are looking for earbuds that have really great bass at a low price
I didn’t expect much to be honest as they are from a cheaper range, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sound is decent, the added bass buster option helps a lot as the player I’m using on my phone doesn’t have an equalizer. The noise cancellation is pretty good, too, enough to drown out the noise around me while I’m on the street, but not completely so I can still be aware of what’s going on. The fit is perfect – I have small ears and had struggled in the past with few other models of wireless headphones, but those are fitting really well, won’t fall out even when I’m running. Tapping interface is a bit unreliable, but I’m used to operating my player directly on my phone anyway so it’s not a major problem. The batery life is super long as for my usage – I only had to charge the box twice since I bought the headphones and I’m using them daily, two – three hours at least. Overal, I can fully recommend those headphones if you don’t have money to spare for the higher shelf brand but still want to have no-cringy experience while listening to music on your phone.
This was the 3rd set of ear buds I tried having mislaid some Ancher ones (no longer available). They are very easy to set up and to sync to various devices. The sound quality is even better than my previous set, but do not expect 150 type quality. The 3 different sound settings work fine but take time to get used to.
The actual controls are also better than previous ones which were touch sensitive which sounded good but wasn’t. The only drawback with these is that you cannot change the volume directly with them. You can however activate your phone’s voice assistant and then ask for a change in volume, otherwise you can only do it directly on the device, hence 4 stars rather than 5.
It’s always hard to know if you’re picking a good product when reviews can leave you unsure due to being mixed or fake. I’ve had ankor product before and at budget was happy with them. Spec and reviews and cost made me think to give them a punt. Safe to say I’m happy. Good quality sound, like the bass. Comfortable enough and sit well. Easy to use. I don’t bother too much with the functions on them as can be a bit fidly being touch sensitive controls (but that would be the same with any headphones) and generally prefer to use my phone to control them. I don’t like to spend much money on headphones for the fear of breaking or losing them so these are exactly what what I hoped for.
UPDATE:
Customer service 5/5
Product 3/5
Their customer service is superb, they kindly offered to reimburse because I was not fully satisfied with the product. This was no prompted my end and it shows to me the great dedication to making the customer happy. While I wouldn’t recommend the earbuds for runners, they’d still make a nice pair for everyday use. I think mentioning in the description that the volume can’t be controlled directly from the earbuds would make it more informative for future buyers. I’d certainly consider other products from this company in the future given the great customer service.
My original review:
They are ok, as long as you are ok with not being able to increase the volume using the earphones, rather than the device. Given that they also tend to sometimes fall out of the ear, it doesn’t make them great for running. Sound is ok, not great, not bad and I personally don’t need the noise cancellation when I’m running with these.
This is my first set of wireless ds and I’m very impressed. For me they fit great, nose and secure but everyone is different. Very easy to setup the quality of the product could easily look like bus twice the price. The case seems well made so I can’t fault on the design. I’m yet to see how long the charge last. Bluetooth range seems great I’m able to walk around my 2 bed bungalow without it dropping. Not tried with video so can’t comment on the sync between images and sound. There is no volume control via the buds, you just have to use your phone volume. I do wish the sound range and bass would be better but I’m use to over ear headphones so not fair to compare but they are great for the price. I’ve always been happy with Anker product s for balance of quality and price and no reason these won’t be the same
Now, I don’t tend to leave reviews, but after the left earphone fell out my pocket into a sea urchin tank at work and it still working FOUR WHOLE DAYS LATER I felt compelled. Legit could not believe it. Not that I recommend leaving it in salt water for the better part of a week, but if you’re a clutz who works in an Aquarium, these earphones are for you. The sound is great, the Bluetooth range is great, and it’s definitely waterproof, even when the squidgy ear part is partially digested by a hungry urchin 10/10.
First pair of wireless headphones I’ve ever had so was a bit sceptical because of the low price but bought after reading the reviews. Really good headphones. There is a very slight buzz in the background but only really noticeable in quieter, more acoustic songs, doesn’t really bother me. Do not fall out. I have quite small ears so was worried they’d be too big but a good shape and size. The touch control for the settings is very hit and miss, not sensitive at all so I don’t bother trying to use it. The battery lasts an extremely long time, have only had to charge it a couple times since having it a couple months – charge is visible via the 3 dots on the front of the case and as a percentage when you connect to your phone/device which is useful. Overall, would recommend
I haven’t used these for a call yet so can’t review on that. Didn’t buy them for noise cancelling so not fussed if that’s good or not. I’ll start with the niggly minor point – My previous Bluetooth earphones (Anker Soundbuds) were joined by a wire with a control built in and I prefer that for volume control and track skipping. The touch control on these is fiddly and causes random things to happen (normally when I’m just trying to push them back into my ear while on the cross trainer!) However, I’ve only glanced at the instructions since getting them so I’m sure with a proper look I’ll suss the controls, but like other reviews I don’t feel that it’s an improvement on these.
Now the good the sound is brilliant. I’m no audiophile but I love my music (all genres) loud, particularly heavy bass and dance while I’m working out, and these deliver the same as my bigger over-ear headphones (yes Anker again, I should get loyalty points 😉 They hold charge really well, a week of watching tv every night plus 3 half hours of high volume music in the gym and I’ve only had to recharge the case once. If you’re clumsy/scatty like me and keep losing things (see below) the case is great to keep them together, added bonus that they recharge while they’re in there. The best bit was only discovered tonight. On Monday evening I lost one of the buds out of my pocket, in the gym I thought. But it didn’t get handed in, and couldn’t see that I’d dropped it outside on my short walk home either. I was about to give up and just use 1 for the gym, gutted that I’d only had them a couple of weeks. I decided to have 1 last look tonight, and found it on the ground outside the gym. I wiped it, put it on and pressed it to turn it on, not really expecting it to work, but it did! So it’s been outside in freezing damp for 4 days (with minus temperatures most nights) and still works like new. Just for that, if I do lose 1 (or both) again, I’ll happily replace them. Looks like Anker will have to try harder to lose my custom
I m kind of audiophile and have tested most cheap and top of range wireless earphones.
This model ,hmmm how to say it’s one of my favourite along with Aukey which I had reviewed.For 30 you will get sound and base better than jbl,samsung or other brands worth 100+.
Maybe it doesn’t have an app where you would be able to adjust some sound option but believe me,you don’t need all these sh…s. In this model everything can be done from the earphones button itself and the sound is astonishing,compared to the ipod pros . And once again,let me remind you,we are talking about 30 quid earphones.The call and microphone quality is perfect there are absolutely no cons. Maybe a liitle downside is that operating buttons like answering/ending phone calls etc could have been more precise.The fit is good for ears ,they don’t fall off.These are a masterpiece. The sound actually blow my mind in a positive way .Try it.
Good quality sound with 3 EQ presets that are sufficient. The Signature preset is good for most listening, but if you need the extra bass, the bass boost preset is pretty good as well. The podcast setting isn’t something I need so don’t have an opinion on it.
Although it doesn’t have noise cancellation, the selection of silicone tips are good so you should be able to find a sealing good fit, which in turn provides an adequate form of noise cancellation. The only feature you might be missing is passive noise cancellation, but at this value range that might be unrealistic to expect.
The touch controls are ok, nothing really to note.
Connection wise, really easy to pair with devices, found it was actually easier than AirPods! However I do experience drop outs every now and then, usually one ear bud will lose connection, but will come back by itself if you give it few seconds. Sometimes the audio in both get affected, almost like they’ve had their volume cut in half, but again it will come back. These issues don’t happen often enough to that they annoy me.
The microphone quality is actually quite good from what I’ve been told. I’ve tried using my phone’s recorder as well and I think it is adequate, nothing super clear but good enough. People should still be able to hear you in noisy environments as long as you talk clearly and a bit louder, just like you would normally. I did have a problem on one call where the earbuds seemed to fail and the other person couldn’t hear me, but I could hear them, had to disconnect them in the end. This may have been because I had one earbud in my pocket at the time, which might have caused them to de-sync.
In terms of power, they last around 7hrs before needing to be put back in the case. Don’t know how many times the case can charge the buds before it needs charging itself, as I usually keep it topped up.
Design wise, the buds are certainly not AirPods, but they’re definately less offensive compared to a lot of stem designs I’ve seen, mainly because the stem part isn’t too long and the main body doesn’t stick out of your ear like dot styles tend to do. The case doesn’t have much of a footprint, but it is a little tall making it uncomfortable for my pockets.
These are so close to being perfect for what I wanted – I love Anker products as the quality is always great without being hugely pricy. But the controls on these are shocking – starting off with the fact that there is NO VOLUME CONTROL so you have to get your phone out anyway to change the volume. To be fair I probably should have realised this by looking closer at the spec but to be honest volume control seemed like such an obvious requirement for wireless earbuds I just assumed it would be given
You can tap twice to pause and to play on one ear and tapping three times on the other does something else, but I find it very temperamental – most of the time
I tap to pause it doesn’t work, even after trying a couple of times.
Such a shame as otherwise these would be five stars!
Bought these on offer and surprised with how great quality they are! I wanted a wireless earphone that would fit my small ears and also wouldn’t stick out too obviously under my hair. Sound quality even with just one earphone is pretty good and once I got the hang of how exactly to use the touch controls for volume etc then it was fairly easy to use.
Other reviews have complained about sound quality and design compared to the leading brands – but for the price difference here you can hardly expect the same product, plus with these if you do lose one you don’t have to worry about forking out a fortune to replace them. All in all I would recommend these if you want a decent small-sized earphone.
I have tried many types of headphone; AirPods, Beats running and Bose cans. My AirPods died and my runners were just not comfortable. I was looking for wireless in-ear with the little rubber bits that sit in your ear for a better fit. I saw these and thought for 22 it was worth a punt!
I am SO pleased with them. They’re compact and fit perfectly. The noise cancelling is great (I listen to audio books when I walk my dog, along a busy road and I’ve never had to adjust the volume like I’ve had to with other headphones). Love the little case which also has a power indicator on. Easy to charge and a GREAT price.
The only reason I’ve marked it down for volume control is because the ear tapping control function is a little cluncky and I’m struggling to understand the instructions on how to access the various functions. I guess this will come with time and practice.
Good fit because of the various earpiece sizes included and they are comfortable to wear. Sound quality is ok but I’ve found I have to toggle between the 3 EQ settings often to get the best sound. It’s a shame the volume can’t be controlled via the earpiece but these are budget buds so I suppose I shouldn’t expect too many features. I haven’t used them for calls yet so I can’t comment on that aspect. Pairing is easy and quick and the charge last ages. The case is small and great for putting in a pocket but it’s extremely slippery to hold and I’ve dropped it countless times which is annoying, especially when the buds fly out across the floor!
Overall I’ve found them good budget buds for the price but don’t expect too many features to be included.
So firstly these are very nice comfortable headphones great sound quality too and decent battery life BUT don’t be like me.. had these for a few days was using them at work I work as a gardener and at this time of year blowing and lifting leaves is a main job.. used these headphones to listen to some podcasts.. picked up leaves put them in a trailer and dumped them.. end of the day o realised to my horror… I’d lost the charger pod amongst all those leaves (they’d fallen out of my pocket somehow) what to do it was getting Dark and it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.. so I had to abandon my search 2days I had them 2 bloody days.. next day the search continues I use the leaf blower to gently soft through the first pole of leaves no luck (or I’d missed them) onto the second.. sifting through to no avail then Suddenly a shaft of light through the trees and like the sun shining on the holy grail there they sat nearly at the bottom of the second pile of leaves the charger pod.. so don’t be like me keep that safe or at least zip your pockets
These are such classy looking earphones. & the very compact case looks cool too. The sound is excellent & the option for extra bass improves things even more. They are so comfortable that I don’t even feel like I’m wearing earphones.
Just 1 thing – & it is small. In fact I would’ve rated this 4 1/2 if I could. – It’s hard to get used to tapping the earphones for the various controls. Doesn’t always do what you want it to do. As a window cleaner, it would be good if it was easier to silence them when a customer appears & starts talking to me. & if I take 1 earphone out, it sometimes stops playing in that earphone & I have to put it in the case to get it going again. As I said, this is a small thing &. I’m still very happy with the product.
As an overall package, these earphones are great. However, I have have a tiny complaint. Sometimes, on calls, the other party is unable to hear you properly. All they can hear is a very faint voice + background noises. Whereas other times, the call quality is great. I have checked it with numerous phones and on a bunch of networks so I know its not my phone (or the network). Don’t really know what the problem is? Maybe one of you guys reading this or the company can help me. #FingersCrossed
I was looking for some decent wireless earbuds to use with my iPhone. At the price, these are very cheap so I thought I’d give them a go. I’ve always trusted the Anker brand as every product I’ve purchased from them has been very good. Another fantastic product here!
I unboxed them for the first time, opened the case and there were the earbuds, went to my phones Bluetooth setting and tapped them, done! I saw reviews about people saying it was complicated. It’s as complicated as connecting ANY bluetooth device. There’s nothing to configure here, simply open the case, the earbuds go into pairing mode, connect your device and listen to music. It could not be any more simple!
A double tap on the right earbud paused and played music, a triple tap on the right earbud changed the EQ until I found one that I liked. For me, the standard medium size buds that come pre-installed were a perfect fit in my ears, and I am someone that has MASSIVE trouble fitting earbuds so I was well impressed.
The carrying/charging case is really small and the earbuds are the perfect size. The sound quality is great for the price. They are not anything amazing but they sound fine for music. If you like bass, these are for you. Listening to YouTube videos where people were talking didn’t sound very good honestly so maybe avoid for podcasts.
I love these . They’re really comfy and a great fit. I was dubious and looked at lots of different makes. I wanted a small fitting and these are brilliant. They don’t fall out , you hardly even know they’re in your ears they’re that comfortable. The sound quality is good and whilst I haven’t answered my phone yet with them in I can certainly say there’s no background outside noise interfering. Also the battery life is very good. They seem to last very well before needing to be charged. The other plus i noticed was the range of the Bluetooth. I had forgotten they were in my ears so went from bedroom to kitchen and could still hear my music even though I had left my phone in the bedroom Definitely recommend these very dinky little earbuds. Love them!
I bought these to use whilst running and walking so I can leave my much more expensive Sony and Apple alternatives at home. By comparison so those, the sound of these is surprisingly good- it makes you realise quite how much of a markup there is on premium devices.
For running they stay securely in my ears. They’re very lightweight. They’re not completely sealed to outside noise, which for running is good because I can hear the traffic, etc.
The case is small and easily pocketed. The pairing process using the case is a bit confusing, but you don’t need to do it very often so it’s not really a problem. Controls on the actual headphones are pretty impossible to use- especially when moving.
Good, loses a star for fiddly controls. Excellent for exercise without worrying you’re going to a couple of hundred quid if one falls out of your ear.
Updated review after now having bought about 6 sets of these for various purposes and people.
I have a set for home, a set for work, sets for the kids etc.
They are cheap so when the kids lose them it’s no big deal.
They work perfectly with windows, mac and phone, no issues at all.
Sound quality is good enough to deserve a much higher price tag. Not amazing, but good decent sound and decent volume levels.
You’d have to go about 4x the price to get anything noticeably bette
This is the second set of Life P2 Mini ear buds I have purchased.
This is a great item although it is still early days.
My concern is that badly repackaged customer returns seem to being shipped out.
I had to return the first set as there were finger prints all over the charging case and ear buds – bad enough at the best of times but with Covid 19 …
I cannot believe Anker would let them out of the factory like that so it had to be a used unit.
Frankly appalling.
The latest set did not seem to have been man handled but had a black ink mark on the front of the documentation – how can that happen.
Apart from bad returns quality control these seem to be good units for the money.
Update 23/11/2021
I have increased my rating to 5* since in use the Anker Life P2 Mini earbuds are excellent in terms of actually using them every day they have proved themselves in terms of sound quality and battery life.
Alot to say and it is worth of every penny buying it. Dont have high feature like those big brands but so satisfying with all its feature in this price and also mini size which fits perfectly on my ears.
