  1. Shannan Sinclair –

    Was going to buy AirPods but my daughter had a pair of these and loved them.They’re great! Stay in my ears without slipping at all, even on my run. Sound amazing with good noise reduction (I don’t like canceling anyway).Very happy with these!

    I’m an audiophile with dozens of headphones; including:AirpodsAirpods ProBragi DashJabra 65Plantronics 6200EmpireEars Legend OmegaAKG N5005Campfire Audio AtlasAAW W500many moreThese really do sound remarkably clear and the soundstage is very wide with good depth. The bass is prevalent, which ought to satisfy your basshead side, but the bass is not crisp and clear like it is on, say, an N5005 or W500. But, how could one compare this to something in that league; not fair. The battery case is very compact, the fit is tremendously comfortable for me, and the connection is strong. I was able to walk around downstairs while still connected to my MacBook. As far as I can tell, it is NOT multipoint connective, which is a little disappointing to me.Call quality is also very important to me. The call comes through very clear on the other end. The other end CAN hear your background noise, but it is not clear and excessive like it is on many other headphones in this class. The background noise cancellation is not as good as the Plantronics 6200, which may be my best for headphones that play music. But, it is definitely useable for business calls. If, for example, I’m talking and using my mechanical keyboard, you can hear the keys ever-so-slightly. It blocks wind out fairly good as well.In my tests, the TaoTronics SoundLiberty 79 tested BETTER for call quality, but the sound quality for music is so good with these, and they’re so comfortable, that I tend to reach for them more.There is NO ‘transparency’ feature, but they do reliably PAUSE the music when you take one out of your ear. But, be warned that they block out noise very well, so you can’t hear your surroundings much at all. Unlike the AfterShokz Aeroplex, which plays so-so music, but gives great transparency and great call quality.All in all, for the price, this is a 5-star product from Anker. I like it better than their bluetooth dongle and headphones I’ve had in the past; this is the best Anker product I’ve had to date by far.I have not downloaded any apps, and am just playing them straight from connection. Haven’t had them for long, so can’t speak about its longevity.Not to toot my own horn too much, but for a completely unbiased, unmonetized, audiophile/bluetooth junky, I’m about as experienced as you will find out there. Here’s my picks, exclusively looking at “completely wireless” in-ear headphones:Sound Quality: Anker Liberty Air 2 (followed by Bragi Dash)Call Quality: Apple Airpods Pro & Taotronics SoundLiberty 79Comfort: Anker Liberty Air 2Transparency: Apple Airpods Pro is most naturalOverall:1.

    These are my first completely wireless buds. They were super-easy to start using right out of the box. They paired easily with my phone (I have a Pixel First Generation), hold the charge for long time, fit my ears better than anything I’ve ever used, and stay in place for my 4-5 mile runs and while doing chores. They come with a total of 5 different size silicone ear pieces, so you can easily adjust up or down. It just took me a day or so to figure out how to use volume control, speakers, and the skip feature. Great sound, especially for listening to audiobooks. Some songs han be a bit “tinny” if there’s a lot of high-pitch guitars/voices, but otherwise no complaints. If you are looking for a mid-range quality set of “airbuds”, I’d recommend these. I got them for 15% off, so $85, which is the most I’ve ever spent of this type of product. I also purchased the 2-year extended warranty for $7.99 because my last set (different brand and style) lasted less than 2 years.

    Disclaimer: I am a veteran cheap headphone user. I am a junkie for 5Below crappy headphones because I have brain damage when it comes to spending real money on headphones which I am probably going to drop in a puddle while walking the dog or lose them in an airport. The most expensive headphones I have ever bought for myself prior to these were a set of Insignia “noise canceling” buds on the heavy yoke. So what I am not is a very nuanced audiophile who wants the best experience after extensively customizing the various equalizers in my phone or in the headset’s settings.So I bought a pair of knock-off i99 ear buds (they look like the Apple branded buds, but…) for $30, and (if you are a veteran user, you can guess this part) I could not get the left earbud to connect. It was quite annoying because the right earbud had good sound quality and even a decent mic for phone calls and video chat. It was just going to be an eternal mono device. After a lot of soul-searching and binge-watching of Unbox Therapy videos, I scraped together $100 and ordered these Anker earbuds. I have to admit: the only thing I do not love about these earbuds is that there’s no way to make them “ping” when I set them down someplace and can’t find them. Note to Anker – your app could be able to make my case ping so I can find it when I put it down on my work desk or in the kitchen rather than on my nightstand.You might be skeptical about the Soundcore app. Do not be skeptical. Use the app to set up your headset. It’s not a mind-blowing difference, but it is a significant difference in listening enjoyment. It is also great for troubleshooting the headset when it doesn’t seem to want to behave the right way.$99 is a lot of money for a lot of people. If you have $99 and you want a very good experience with completely-wireless earbuds, make this choice.—–UPDATED: after about 6 months, the right earbud stopped working correctly. It would pair fine, but it sounded like the driver was blown out. Anker/Soundcore says that they have an 18-month hassle-free warranty, so I contacted service@soundcore.com and sent them my concerns. Via e-mail, they gave me a series of troubleshooting steps that did not yield an improvement. I sent them my Amazon invoice and the serial number of the earbud set. In 5 days, I had new earbuds.So if you care about sound quality, easy use, and incredible warranty service, this is the right choice.

    I usually don’t write reviews, but this pair of earbuds deserves one. First testings did not go so great, until I realized that I had to find the right tip that fit me. Thankfully Anker provides many different options for you in the box, and you can customize each side accordingly. With the fit done, and the equalizer test through Anker’s own Soundcore App, I felt a tremendous difference from my first initial sound tests. The sound quality is good enough to hear highs and lows, with enough bass to provide the oomph that you need. Nothing more, nothing less. The touch controls can be changed through the Soundcore App, and you can customize what a double tap and what a long hold does. I would like to see more functionality in the future, but who knows if that could be added. Overall I am very impressed with these headphones. At the price they are at, they can even compete with Airpods. The case even includes wireless charging, something that only the 199$ version of the Airpods include.

    The Soundcore Liberty Air 2 is my fifth set of Bluetooth ear buds, and they are my third set of true wireless buds. I purchased them about eleven months ago and like them very much. They are the ONLY Bluetooth buds I’ve had that allow the person on the other end of a phone conversation to hear me well. What a pleasant surprise that has been for me! According to the marketing literature, they have a total of 4 microphones, and they really do the job well.Also, their music quality is excellent. They are very clear and crisp with rich bass which, very importantly for me, does not overwhelm the rest of the music spectrum as is the case with some products. I like them so well that I bought a pair for a friend as a gift and have recommended them to nearly a dozen friends and family members.The software that you can download to configure the buds is helpful. I’ve tried different equalization settings but found the default settings to be the most to my liking. I also used the software to modify the function of the touch control that each bud has. The touch controls have a maximum of six different functions between them. That’s single-touch, double-touch and long-touch on each one. I have it set so that the left one will pause/resume the music, skip to the next song or raise the volume. The control on the right bud will also pause/resume the music, as well as rewind to the previous song or lower the volume. It is possible to set the functions differently if you wish. The touch controls take some getting used to but when you do they work great. Removing either bud from your ear will optionally pause the music instantly. Apparently they have some sort of proximity sensor. And supposedly you can use either bud by itself as a monaural device, but I haven’t tried that yet. The software is also used to update the product’s firmware.The battery life is well above average. I had one phone call that lasted 4.5 hours and only then did I get a low battery warning. And with music, I get tired of listening to music before the battery gets low. One other thing about the power is that if the buds automatically power off when you’ve had the music paused for an extended time, they can be restarted without putting them back in the charging case. This is great if you don’t happen to have their case with you on a long walk or run.I have encountered one hardware problem with the buds. The battery life suddenly started to decrease after about nine months of use. A phone call longer than two hours would induce a low battery warning. I contacted Soundcore Support, who gave me detailed instructions for testing the battery. After the tests, my report to Support resulted in them agreeing that there was a problem and replacing the set of buds. Their customer support was outstanding.The only function I don’t like is that while having a phone conversation I have to be careful not to touch either touch control if I need to seat a bud tighter in my ear. This ends the call immediately. Possibly I am missing something, but my work-around is to grasp the bud by its tail, carefully avoid the touch control, and push it into my ear.In summary, the Liberty Air 2’s are by far my favorite of my several Bluetooth products and second only to my overall favorite headphones – my 10-year-old Sennheiser RS-180 full-size, over-ear pre-Bluetooth wireless headphones which use a proprietary RF protocol called KLEER.I would recommend this Soundcore product to everyone, unless you crave OUTRAGEOUS amounts of bass.

    Updated: I would give the product 3 stars (detailed review below) but Anker’s customer service is so good that I would give them 6 stars, so average is 4.5 stars rounded to 5 stars.You’ll need to find a product that’s right for you, however, you can never go wrong with a company like Anker who takes so good care of its customers…————Design and build quality excellent. No complaint. Durability we’ll find out sooner or later.Battery life also exceptional, great job Anker. Call quality is great. In terms of noise cancellation, this is a closed design earphone without active noise cancellation, if you cant understand this, dont bother reading the rest of the review :)Pairing with iphone xr was a disaster but I got it work using the “putting them back to back” trick…My real issue is with the sound.My current wire headphones: Sennheiser HD598, Bose Soundtrue On-ear, Sennheiser IE80, Denon C710K, Creative Labs Aurovara Air (which I absolutely love more than any other), and Apple EarPods.My current wireless headphones: Airpods Gen1 (I lost one earbud which is why I bought the Anker); Sony WI1000X which I use for air travels.I’m not comparing this $89 pair True Wireless earbuds to the IE80s, which is obviously not fair. I’m also not comparing this with the Aurovara Air, which has a different design.The problem is that I dont know what I can use to compare. The resolution seems to be fine, with “fake grains” which is common in over-engineered headsets or speakers. The compression of bluetooth obviously didnt help either. The sound stage, well I dont know how to describe it.. it sank into the bottom of the ocean and can never be found. The real problem is that it doesnt matter which profile I pick out of the app, I couldnt get out a pleasant sound. Is the Apple Earpod superior when it comes to sound quality? Not really. However, it produces decent sound that you can listen to for hours and not feel like going insane. I think same thing applies to the BeatsX which has terrible sound but doesnt make you uncomfortable. The Liberty Air 2, unfortunately, didnt achieve that. When you try to get good sound of a budget headphone by over engineering everything, it usually doesnt end up well.The bottom line is – I’m keeping these because they are so comfortable and easy to use and have an in-ear design – which is what I absolutely need for my 3 – 4 hour daily commute – I dont want to spend $250 for the new AirPods pro and this is excellent for its price. However, I still want to write this review because what Anker (one of my favorite companies) claims to be “rigid diamond-coated drivers produce sound with flawless accuracy” is simply not true. The accuracy is terrible which is ok for this price point, just use a different angle to highlight the product.

    These are the third brand of “budget” wireless earbuds I’ve tried and I can definitively say that they are the best one’s yet! The most I had spent previously was $35 ($50 but 30% off) and while I was mostly pleased with the performance, the right earbud was noticeably quieter than the left after a couple weeks so I returned them. I found an online review which led me to these and I decided to spend the extra and pull the trigger. They were originally $100 but I got them for $85. I’m no audiophile and have often wondered if you can really tell a difference between $250 earbuds and $50 earbuds. I’ll never be willing to spend $250 to find out but I can tell you this much, between the previous two pairs I’ve tried and these, I can tell a HUGE difference in the audio quality. I would be willing to pay full price, they’re very nice and I’m loving them so far. The accompanying app is a very nice addition and gives them that much more appeal over cheaper options. You can customize the control in regards to the touch sensitive functions, change the EQ, and there’s also a function to customise the sound to your own ears (like the hearing test you take with the different sound frequencies). I haven’t had them long enough to truly test the battery life claim but so far so good.I was mostly intrigued by the microphone quality as I am on the phone quite often for work and am now in a hands free state so I needed something decent to participate in conference calls while in the truck. So far so good, no complaints from anyone on the other end and they have all said I sound clear with little to no background noise. All in all I’m very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a quality pair of wireless earbuds that doesn’t want to spend the money on one of the “premium” options available right now.

    My experience with earbuds and headphones is rather extensive. I’ve used very nice ones, and fairly budget ones. The Soundcore Liberty Air 2 fall right in the middle, and that’s exactly what I excepted.Opening them up is, Apple adjacent. The package is quite nice and everything opens quite easily. Not quite to the level of Apple, but near it.Pairing them was as simple as opening the case. My iPhone XS, and the Soundcore app found them within a few seconds. Once they were paired the first time, just open up the case and within a few seconds you are automatically connected and listening to your music or making phone calls.Sound quality was surprising for a pair of $100 earbuds. I went into it without expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I compared them directly to a pair of Powerbeats Pro’s and while the Powerbeats Pro’s were better, I wouldn’t say they were necessarily worth the extra $150.I have used these side by side with the following: Jaybird X2, Powerbeats, urBeats 3, Powerbeats 3, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio 3, Bose QuiteComfort 35 II, and Klipsch Image S4i. Being an expansive list of earbuds and headphones I would say comparing them to the $350 Bose QuiteComfort’s is probably not a fair comparison. However, These fall right in line where I expected them to after using them for a while.I suppose I could list a few “cons” here but honestly for the price, those go out the window. Sure, the bass could be a bit more present on some songs, the noise cancellation could be a bit better on an airplane, but for $100 those cons don’t really hold up and you are left with a pretty darn good listening experience.Overall, these are a solid choice at this price.

    My experience with earbuds and headphones is rather extensive. I’ve used very nice ones, and fairly budget ones.

    The Anker Liberty Air 2 wireless earbuds are a very solid choice for “non-Air pod” listening.I have been crushing cheap wired headsets for years now, and I finally got fed up. Too many times a cord snatches on something while I’m working, and the earbuds become broken and useless quickly.I have a Galaxy S9+ and it did take a few tries for it to pair as 2 separate bluetooth audio devices. I have had the opportunity to listen to them in paired stereo mode, as well as each individually, and the sound is better when the Liberty Air 2’s are connected separately. That is my opinion.Not only does the true wireless eliminate that, they have good enough technology where they don’t sound like complete crap.As for phone calls, it’s no worse than using a Plantronics Voyager headset, which was my go-to until I wanted dual-purpose headphones. The mics are using the latest technology, and they do a good enough job. In a quiet environment, they’re perfect (while driving, etc.). I can see how when there is a lot of background noise, that they won’t be perfect, but at this price range, I’m not expecting miracles.The miracle for me is how comfortable they are in my ears. I actually forgot I was wearing it today. (was using 1 bud for most of the day).Pros — Comfortable for me- Good enough sound with Bluetooth 5.0 and updated aptX- Good battery life- Case is convenient and feels good to pocket.- Virtual Assistant is easy to use.Cons — Sounds soft if in “paired stereo” mode- Gestures aren’t great, integration not as seamless as AirPods- Documentation and quick start guide are not easy to follow.- Prepare to have to watch a video or 2 about pairing these.TL;DRThese represent a strong value for the price paid. I would definitely recommend them to someone who’s looking for a “true wireless” experience, likes the silicone ear bud style, and isn’t going with AirPods or AirPods pro.
