    I am 2 months in with daily Use and can just say.. "'buy them" .. great noise cancellation, amazing battery life and fantastic audio fidelity for the price .. I listen to downtempo and the audio has great lows and balanced highs.

      Earbuds that recess to far in your ears have bad call quality. The A1 earbuds call quality was horrible

  • @cooloutac
    @cooloutac 3 года назад +8

    I find the acoustic eq preset gives more clarity and adds to the soundstage in music for those who find the bass too overpowering or the mids too lacking. I also find the highs too piercing at times. But getting decent anc and ambient mode for the price of these headphones is amazing. Can't go wrong here.

    • @deanhatescoffee
      @deanhatescoffee 3 года назад +2

      I just got these and was initially impressed by the default sound. Then I changed the EQ to Acoustic as you said and 😮 wow, you're totally right. I found all the mids I was missing - Acoustic is so much fuller than the default. I'm sure the default has it's uses, and I've only listened to Muse so far, but Acoustic really let's you hear every part of the song much more fully than any of the other pre-built EQs.

    • @cooloutac
      @cooloutac 3 года назад +1

      @@deanhatescoffee yes. I agree it really stands apart from the other presets. What I did was just tweak it a little by lowering the 6.4k band a notch down to +3. The 800 up a notch to +3. And the lowest 100 freq band down to +3. But it's all personal preference really. Besides the 8 band eq which is totally unheard of on earbuds, they are also remarkably comfortable and stable. They are a great deal for the price.

  • @Grecianfan1
    @Grecianfan1 3 года назад +8

    Oddly the very thing that put me off was the very cheap price tag. £50 for a pair of NC ear buds, when other soundcore NC products were 2 or 3 times the price. I really thought quality must be poor in other areas. I opted for a non NC Liberty Air 2...more expensive and older in design. Fortunately, the were stolen in transit and through fear of that happening again, ordered Life A2 NC's instead. Only had them a week but they are brilliant...and for the price, a no brainer. Ironically I only saw this video after the purchase and feel more justified in my change of decision...thanks to a thief.

    I like matte black, generic dot style. But I do prefer to be flush with the face. I drive the one more dual driver anc, definitely stick out more than I would like. I still prefer it to the stem style. And in that case they use their space wisely at least.

  • @gmemo4449
    @gmemo4449 3 года назад +5

    I sent mine back after two weeks, the sound was good and the price is definitely right. But the earbuds stick out too much and the biggest factor is that after an hour and half, my ears were hurting with fatigue. I could never find the ear tip where they would feel comfortable.

    Surprised that you didn’t ding the earbuds on functionality and usability due to lack of flexibility in controls. I have the liberty air 2’s which have a much more robust control scheme. Everything else is pretty positive.

    • @michaelcorcoran8768
      @michaelcorcoran8768 3 года назад

      I know they added one tap control to the Liberty Air 2 pros in a firmware update a few months after it was released. That was the primary reason I didn't want to go with the sound core product. I need it at least six touch controls. More if I have ANC or EQ modes. Before the firmware update I was limited to four. Had to choose between noise canceling or assistant.

  • @TeqtoHD
    @TeqtoHD 3 года назад +2

    The mic quality really sounds good. Look likely a solid ear buds that you can use for both your calls and enjoy your music. However can I request you to do a review on Sabbet E16 and also the Lypertec Tevi to see which one has the best call quality?

  • @fahimnoor5980
    @fahimnoor5980 3 года назад +4

    I bought the Life Dot 2 NC.. TBH the Sound Quality was a let down because I also own the Soundcore Liberty 2 which are excellent imo. But the major drawback was the fit. It made my ears uncomfortable in just 20 minutes of using it. Surprising because the Liberty 2 are similar in design and way bigger than Life Dot 2 NC (AW NC)
    Had to return them due to this

  • @BrianHartman
    @BrianHartman 2 года назад

    Update on 08/12/2022:
    I contacted customer service about the single tap issue. Within 24 hours, I had beta firmware that allows for the single tap pushed to my phone. (Apparently, they have to push it from their end. You can't download it.)
    Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think these are excellent earbuds now. I'd still kind of like a triple tap, because that's how I'm more used to going back, but at least I can use all the controls now without touching the phone. Kudos to Soundcore's support team!
    I just got these today.
    The sound is good. The noise cancelling is decent. But the controls really let the earbuds down.
    Not allowing for a single tap is a big mistake, and the mistake is compounded by not allowing for triple taps. So there's no really good way to accomplish volume control, playback control, and having an assistant available at the same time.
    Example: I have play/pause set to a double-tap on my right earbud, and play/pause set to a double-tap on my right earbud. So I can either control my volume with a long press for the left and the right, or have my assistant available on one of the earbuds, but I can't have both.
    Most of the time I'm listening to music, I have my phone in my backpack. So now I have to take my phone out of my backpack every time I want to adjust the volume.
    This is something they could address with a firmware update, but I doubt they will.

    Thank you Mark for the informative review. What is your personal choice of earbuds under 100 dollars?

  • @EPA18
    @EPA18 3 года назад

    You did not mention an extremely important aspect of these earbuds. They cannot control everything on the buds themselves. You are only given either a double-tap or an extended tap - you are not given a single tap or a triple tap. Therefore, you can only have control of 4 aspects on the buds themselves. So, on my buds, I can toogle through the various modes, I can stop/start the sound, I can raise up the volume, and I can forward to the next track. But, I cannot also lower the volume, or go back a track, because of the inability to use a single tap or triple taps.
