I just contacted the Soundcore Support Team and asked for the differences between Life Dot 2 NC and Life A2 NC which was released recently and have almost the same design. Here is the answer : "Soundcore Life A2 is not the updated version of Soundcore Life Dot 2 NC. Please know there are two main differences between the Life A2 NC and Dot 2 NC. 1. There are 6 mics on the Soundcore Life A2 NC, 3 microphones for each earbud, while there are 4 mics on the Soundcore Life Dot 2 NC. 2. Soundcore Life Dot 2 NC is the offline version. Yes, it is only available and could be bought in some US offline stores for now. Aside from these two points, they perform the same. "
Just got these a few days ago. Spot on review. I never have to go full volume on them but they could have just a bit more volume. Good bass and overall with the nc and ambient features they are definitely worth the price.
I just got these and YES, they are almost as good as my Liberty 2 Pros.. I'm not tripping about the battery life, the sound, comfort & warranty works great for me! **( for me to have 2 pairs of earbuds from the same company speaks volumes about Anker!) I'm a forever consumer!
This is actually soundcores 2nd pair of truly wireless earbuds with Hybrid Active Noise Canceling. The " Anker Life A2 NC" came out on September 30th 2020 and the Anker Life Dot 2 NC came out in December of 2020.
i dont know if you read the comments, but one of my criteria when selecting earphones is size. Many of the earphones featured here, while having great specs are just so damn large and stick out of your ears. The smallest earbuds i found are LEMFO LT04 from aliexpress, small size and barely noticeable. You should really consider having a section for small discreet earbuds!
Thanks for the review. Very informative and helpful. The dealbreaker for me is the insufficient VOLUME. Thanks for mentioning this. Quick question, how does the volume compared to the non-NC Life Dot 2 ?
I use these for work since my airpod 2 leak in a lot of noise and honestly I lean to these more than my AirPods honestly. At home my AirPods are great but for work or doing yard work or working out these are great! And sound pretty good for the price
The soundcore app previous < and > next function doesn't work.Is this a common issue with the life dot 2 nc earbuds, or would it be better to change them for another new pair before the Walmart 30 day return period is over?🤔
I REALLY wish MNML Case would make clear cases for the OnePlus phones... I have a OnePlus and I love the way it looks and feels but want to add scratch protection, and a MNML Case seems like it would be PERFECT
Got these a few days ago as soon as el jefe dropped his review , call quality seems alot better than in the video though , at least people I've talked to haven't complained yet lol ... loving them so far
Hey, I'm planning to buy these soon so i wondering if you could tell me your experience especially the NC. I walk with a lot of noise around (people, cars) and i ride in buses, i also listen to a lot podcasts and RUclips videos. By the way you probably already know this but I've heard a couple times that the only difference between the A2 and the dot 2 are the number of mics on them, which is a little funny if you ask me 😂
@@ellydenis6821 I don't use ANC much. I'm usually in normal mode. However I did have ANC on transport mode and with netflix at 50% volume I couldn't hear a vacuum running in the same room. I hope this helps.
It would be nice to have those original sound samples available even outside the video so that we know how they actually should sound and compare. Otherwise perfect review as always.
I saw these at Walmart and got them wondering how they work and I just love them! Kinda make me not wanna get the AirPod Pros so... I named them My AirPod Pros cause it makes sense to me!
I already have airpods and good sennheiser heafphones for music. I am primsrily looking for a paid for my workouts and running. Will this stick to my ears if i am jumping rope.
Hey, there are two new earbuds from JBL; JBL live free NC + and JBL reflect mini NC. Both are European versions and I don't think JBL is planning to launch them states. But both are budget ANC from JBL for around 125 euros = 150 USD. I would really like to see a video on them. I searched the whole youtube couldn't find anyone reviewing them. So it would be nice for everyone to have a video where they can go for the review.
You are one of the best reviewers here Gamesky, there are many other earbuds to cover like the JBL Club Pro Plus, OnePlus Buds Z, Jabra Elite 85t, Realme Air Pro, really hope you review these mostly
Got these on clearance for 40$ as cheap earbuds for work but was surprised by them. The audio quality isn't as good as my Sony xm3s but the noise cancellation was actually a bit better which surprised me
Great review. U was on the fence between these and the jlab anc ones but it feels like both suck in the controls and mic. I decided on the sesh evo. I have the liberty air 2 and the liberty 2 and i love to sound and features on them. I thought i could grab a good deal on an anc pair and i may need to wait. Thanks for the review
That voice sample sounds bad, but I guess it's the recording app, because in other reviews it sounds fairly nice. Besides that, it's a great choice. Would you pick these over the Jlab Audio Epic Air ANC (or any of the newest Jlab products with ANC)?
@@BDV000 go watch el jefe reviews call quality is fine and I can second that as I own these ...idk what happened in this video though it was pretty bad . But airpods offer the best call quality but pros are 3 times more expensive than these with anc and regular airpods suck for sound
@@BDV000 I second @gcforreal check El Jefe's video. There it doesn't sound that bad. Now, El Jefe also said that the Earfun Air Pro have a nice call quality. You should check those (they also have ANC and ambient mode).
Ive had both the liberty pros and the liberty pro 2's and both rattle terrible when the bass os turned up. Loved the liberty pro 2 case especially with the wireless charging but the bass rattle made me get rid of them these sound better although not as loud as the liberty series bit i prefer these
Does anyone have problems with sttutering and bad bt connection? The dot2 anc cannot play sbc at all, or lose bt quickly, and when playing aac format, it does strange things. For example, when I move my head to the right on the strret, it loses connection, also I have to put my phone in my upper pocket, and if I put it in my jeand pocket, also loses connection. My phone is xiaomi mi mix2, has bt 5.0.
I've been having issues as well. Seems like a lot of people, at least looking at the Amazon reviews, have issues with them stuttering. I have a pair of Soundpeats T2's, which are BT 5.0 like these, no connectivity issues. Only issue I had with those was the left earbud died.
@@War624 It is strange that none of the reviewers I fpllpw had no sttutering issue. And that makes me wonder how honest these reviews really are. Now, I use them t home only. Bummer. It is a shame since the sound is really good.
@@predragvilotijevic6324 Yeah I reset them earlier today. You keep the case open, with the earbuds in the case, while holding the button at the bottom for 10 secs. You have to pair them again to your device again afterwards. So far they've stayed on, so I'm waiting to see how long that lasts.
im confuse because I have the sound core life dot 2 XR and Im trying to find something about the 2 XR and only I found the 2 NC Pls help me idk what is the difference between Life dot 2 XR and 2 NC (I like ur review)
I love their headphones and prefer them even to beats pro but they are too bulky. Imagine if they can be slim and they’d kill the competition. I love love lovethe brand. The nc in these are actually better then the q30s
Better this or liberty 2? Better this or liberty 2 pro? I have liberty 2 From 1 year and It sound so good, i Didnt buy pro version because i read there Is big difference...
Hi Gamesky in my place they're having sales for soundcore earbuds, the liberty 2 pro costing about 75 USD while the soundcore life A2 NC costing about 55 USD. I like deep bass but not too much bass, which one do you think I should get?
Hi Love your videos for greatest review for those earbuds and technology products. I would like to get one nice wireless earphone most important to get house cancelling just mainly to make conversation phone calling , I don't normally listen the music so what would you recommend for my case ? Thank a lot .
Press and hold the button down to turn them off and when you hold the button to turn them back on just keep holding them until you hear them say pairing
These are a surprise hit for 2020! SIt's just sad they are not widely available yet. Hopefully Soundcore will remedy this soon. Awesome work bro!
Agreed, being available at only WalMart keeps these from being available to the masses
When they will be available on Amazon USA and other countries
@@abdulbasit-oy1ws that’s a great question for Soundcore.
@@ELJefeReviews they will keep it secret in a month or so
I'm waiting for reviews on soundpeats sonic especially against the soundcore life dot 2
we need a top 10 anc earbuds under 100 list!
One of the best ones fr is this one. Owned in for 3 weeks... Amazing amazing earbuds.
I've seen the jabra on sale (75) on sale for 99$, that'd be a awesome choice too if you can get it on sale.
@@Ibonic Life dot 2 anc can i buy it for zoom meetings ? How is the call quality in noisy environment??
Soundcore does not disappoint . Their battery life across the board is pretty good .

My collection of soundcore ear buds is growing XD

Do they really cut out the noise from the outside
@@stn7172 yes and you can adjust it to your environment it works very well
I think if you have Dolby Atmos on your phone you could get a bit more volume out through the eq

It's the life p3 but with a different name and without wireless charging but it's great fit nice Design

Did he record this before the firmware update
Thanks for the brief and up to the point video. Cheers
I put a custom eq in with everything at +6. Call it "more volume". Voila, louder buds. Why having the app makes them way better.
I boosted the volume with apk volume booster (goodev), and it works fine.
Thanks for the review man!!!
Thanks for the view!!!
Problem is that after some time, these start having connectivity issues. Looked at Amazon's reviews, and have seen plenty who have had the some issue.
Are you talking about how sometimes the audio would cut out? It also happens to mine. Has there been a fix for this?
@@rexbordz16 same. For that exact reason, i’m upgrading to the liberty 3 pro or liberty 4
'Liked' this video based on him giving the driver size of these ear buds alone. Reviewers almost never give that detail...👏
8:10 what song is that
Keep your great videos , thank you
Just bought mine I love them
You're the best of the best. Thank you for all your videos .
I ordered one on Amazon called A2 with 11mm drivers but it says it has 6 microphones 🎤 not 4.

I can't get this to connect to my app. Can someone give me a how to?
Awesome vid bro so did theys ever get the update to control volume or no
So you need a soundcore app to make their earbudz work?
Best budget earbuds so far. Idk how the dot 3s are but the nc is on par with my sony xm3 earbuds and the sound isn't too far behind either.
Great review as always

Do you know how to reset the Soundcore Life Dot 2?
Hey I want to ask what will be LED indicators when it has been fully charged
PLEASE HELP. The Life Dot 2 NC don't show up in the App. In the Life Category there are only 3 other earbuds. :(
Is dot 2 anc different from life se anc??

Would swapping out the silicone tips for memory foam tips give a better seal and overall better sound quality?.
I've used memory foam tips and you definitely get better seal and usually better bass when added to any earbuds
On the noise canceling modes do they have a mode that you can hear your surroundings and whatever you're listening to at the same time?
I just got these, and not happy with the over all volume. What would you recommend for louder earbuds?
Got these on clearance for 40$ as cheap earbuds for work but was surprised by them. The audio quality isn't as good as my Sony xm3s but the noise cancellation was actually a bit better which surprised me

I don't want mono mode how to turn off?
Have they fixed the single and triple taps since then?
