Stay in my ears better than most but not during tennis. Don’t take these into battle and expect to bring them both out! But I wish. Maybe I have weird ears? That said…the controls could be better. Only double tap and tap and hold. No single tap. No triple tap. Meh. More controls = more review stars. Connectivity is arguably the Life A2 NC’s strongest hallmark. The initial pairing process was a breeze and re-pairing to known devices was instantaneous. And if Bluetooth ever acts up, there's always a button at the bottom of the charging case to manually enable pairing mode.

Although not all of their headphones support this codec, a couple of their latest headphones, like the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless, support LDAC, designed for Hi-Res audio. Support for this codec is also uncommon in truly wireless headphones. These comfortable and well-built buds have a warm sound profile out of the box, but you can fine-tune their sound to suit your tastes using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. You can also use the app to switch to LDAC codec to stream Hi-Res content. That said, their mic has poor recording quality. The mic captures speech that sounds far away and sibilant, which can be a dealbreaker if you take a lot of calls. However, if you're just looking to listen to music, these wallet-friendly earbuds are worth a look. Noise cancelling? I don’t care! Music sounds too good at this high volume anyway! I’m going to go deaf and love every minute of it! So, I guess noise cancelling works pretty good. LOL

Is the Anker Soundcore Spirit Dot 2 waterproof?

By far the absolute DEEPEST and ear rattling bass I’ve had in a pair of earbuds, especially at this price point. Sound quality is insane, I haven’t had to touch the custom tool on the app for equalizing. Just use bass boost. We've replaced the Anker SoundCore Life P3 Truly Wireless with the Anker Soundcore Space A40 Truly Wireless. We've also replaced the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 Wireless with the Anker Soundcore Space Q45 Wireless. We've added brand comparisons as well, in addition to expanding the lineup information. On the upside, their continuous battery life of just under 28 hours is enough to get you through long days on the go, and you can use them passively in a pinch. They're well-built and have a comfortable fit suitable for long listening sessions. Their default sound profile also delivers extra thump, rumble, and boom while vocals and instruments are crisp.

Noise canceling .. on point. Can’t hear a word from anyone around me or a single sound from grinders to heavy machinery. Also, when I’m on phone calls people hear me crystal clear! You can customize their sound using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. Like their truly wireless counterpart, the Anker Soundcore Space A40 Truly Wireless, they even support LDAC codec, making them a solid choice for Hi-Res audio content. They offer multi-device and NFC pairing, so connecting them to your smartphone or laptop is easy. Anker headphones generally have high latency on PC. You may notice your audio and visuals fall out of sync, which can be frustrating if you like to stream video on your laptop. Knowing how well ANC performed on the Liberty Air 2 Pro, I figured the Life A2 NC had some potential of being decent. Simply put, I was underwhelmed by its noise neutralization, which contrary to what Anker claims, does not “eliminate up to 90% of noise from your environment.” It’s more like 50%, with a majority of external sounds creeping their way onto the soundstage. Range is estimated at 35 feet, which allowed me to move freely around the left wing of the house minus any dropout. You can also use the left or right bud individually without worrying about connection issues. Multipoint technology is missing from the spec sheet, though. Anker Soundcore Life A2 NC review: VerdictCharging time is on point as well, I use these 12 hours a day often 5-6 times a week at work between music and phone calls. I work a blue collar job operating heavy equipment, so these are perfect for what I need. However, the overemphasized bass makes the mix sound muddy, while vocals and instruments sound harsh and sibilants piercing due to the extra treble. Unfortunately, they can't pair with a companion app, so you can't change their mix. If you'd like more bass, though, their 'BassUp' featureboosts this range even more, which will compliment fans of heavier genres like dubstep and D&B. You can activate it using the controls on the ear cups. Something else completely missing from the app is Find My Buds. Hopefully, this is something Anker considers adding in a future update, if it doesn't add Google Find My Devicesupport as an alternative. Anker Soundcore Life A2 NC review: Battery life and charging case Most Anker headphones have an integrated mic, which sits far away from your mouth. As a result, their mics tend to have poor recording quality and mediocre noise-handling performance.
