Hi everyone! If you're on a budget and looking for good-quality earbuds, this review might be helpful for you. I bought these earbuds on October 27, 2023, and I’ve been using them consistently up until today, January 22, 2025. Sound Quality The sound quality is good—very decent, especially considering the price. Remember, you're looking for affordable yet reliable earbuds, and these deliver on that front. Durability The material is strong plastic. Within the first week, I accidentally put them through the washer and dryer (I forgot to take them out of my pocket). The charging lights stopped working for a couple of weeks but eventually came back to normal. That’s impressive durability! I’ve also dropped them almost daily, and they don’t even have a crack. Bonus points for durability because I work in building maintenance, and they’ve been in my pocket with screws, utility knives, and other tools—they’ve held up really well. Comfort They’re not the most comfortable earbuds out there. After about 4 hours of use, my ears do start to hurt, but you get used to it over time. If you bend over, they’re likely to slip out of your ears. You can feel them sliding, so you have time to catch them before they fall. To be fair, this happens with pricier earbuds like AirPods, too. Battery Life This is by far my favorite feature. Even after washing them, the battery continues to perform great. I charge them every 3 days, and I use them for at least 4 hours a day. I’ve tried other earbuds like JBL and AirPods, but their battery life doesn’t compare to these. The battery is the main reason I’ve stuck with these "bad boys." Final Thoughts I highly recommend these earbuds if you’re looking for something affordable, durable, and with excellent battery life. Thanks for reading—if anyone actually read all of this!

I've had these for well over a year now and I can honestly say after trying about 5 other brands (known brands, including Apples Air Pods) that these are by far my favorite ear buds for every day use. I usually have these in for 3-4 hours a day. I have to charge the case once every 2 weeks or so at that rate so no complaints about the battery. I've worn them for a full 8 hour car trip once & the batteries in the buds themselves had plenty of life left after that span. They're light & comfortable. I've never had ear discomfort eveb when keeping them in for hours at a time. At times they will slide out but I have that issue with all ear buds. These stay in better than any other buds I've tried. The sound on these for the price point is great. You're obviously not getting insane studio quality sound with these but you're definitely getting a much fuller sound than others at this price point. The buds do have a touch control EQ for people who prefer on the fly adjustment. Personally I would've preferred touch volume controls over EQ. (I rarely use the EQ function). My only small complaint is the microphone on these isn't great. For phone calls it isn't terrible but if you're recording audio for any purpose it is noticeably muffled & lacks noise reduction. Aside from that I don't think you can go wrong with these if you're just looking for a high quality pair of everyday headphones. *I did have an issue with the bass blowing out in one of my ear buds (caused by volume accidentally being turned all the way up really fast). But they do have a warranty & Anker had a new pair sent out within a few days. It was one of the easiest and best customer experiences I've ever had. I would order from the company again just based on that experience. In general the products I've purchased from Anker have always exceeded my expectations and these ear buds definitely fit that level of quality.

Don't get me wrong -- these are good ear buds that I like. I am not about to send them back. What I like: They are very easy to use. After the initial pairing, which was easy, you just take them out of the case, put them in your ears and hit play on your phone. They work every time and are always charged. They work well with phone calls, too (except for one caveat, below). I can hear who's calling and I can be heard. They come with five sets of ear buds so finding a good fit shouldn't be difficult. What I don't like: The sound is what I was expecting for $40 wireless earbuds. It's OK. The three EQ settings are noticeably different: the podcast setting is tinny, and I don't use it. The middle signature setting is OK for music or podcasts and has a very good soundstage. There is very little bass, however. The bass setting is exactly that -- a lot of bass, deep, but at the expense of everything else. I've grown accustom to this setting and use it the most. One other thing I don't like: when I get a phone call with the buds on, the ringer is at full volume, causing me to rip the buds out as fast as I can. Nothing short of setting my phone on Do Not Disturb remedies this. If you get a lot of calls, beware. I mostly listen to podcasts and news, so these work very well for me. I wish they were better when I listen to music, but I'm not willing to spend more on wireless earbuds to get it. **UPDATE** I've been contacted twice by Anker after my review to ensure I was happy with my purchase and if not, how to get a full refund. I replied that I wanted to keep the earbuds. However, I was impressed by the customer service. SECOND UPDATE: I’ve had these earbuds now for six months, and I’m upping the rating from three stars to four. The reason? I’ve grown accustomed to the bass setting and now rate it “pretty good” rather than OK. Also, these buds are practically indispensable. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t use them. I listen to more music now, too. The phone call issue has been resolved, leading me to think it was a phone setting and not the earbuds. If you want a set of earbuds that works every time and sounds pretty good, these buds are for you. Don’t forget the excellent service from Anker. I know I haven’t

these work great for small ears the sound is great and the price is spot on cant go wrong buying these . can hear everything like your talking to someone next to you .

The sound quality we’re starting to see out of these cheaper headphones is awesome. They’re comfortable enough, and sound nice. It’s not audiophile quality, but gives out crisp highs, balanced mids, and a good bass punch. Never had issues pairing or with the app. The microphones leave something to be desired, but this isn’t a surprise at this price point. They’ve been through the washer, and still work somehow. Overall, I’d buy another pair.

At this point everyone in my family has one of these. After trying multiple brands over the years ever since the pandemic made school classes remote from home back in 2020 I’ve been buying up earphones for my two kids to use; even when they went back to school classes in-person it was requested that everyone have a set for classroom use. My oldest (17) swears by Soundcore and had the Lifenote E before these, and now has a pair of this at home and a pair that travels to school with him. My youngest (11) has now ordered a set for the home computer and one for school as well. Hubbby finally caved and got himself a set too. They talk about comfort in the ear, sound quality at distances from the device playing audio, and long battery life. These things are sturdy and quick to charge. And hey - If ya lose one? They’re not so expensive that you can’t afford to replace them easily. For a low cost, and regular use, these are it.

I am a big fan of the Anker brand and Anker products. I own Anker chargers, charging pads, charging cables, portable batteries, docks, and several other pairs of headphones (Liberty Air 2, Liberty Air 2 Pro, and 2 pairs of Life P3). I recently lost my pair of travel Life P3 earbuds (RIP), and when I went to replace them, I came across the P2 Mini. Let me say, I love the concept. The only things I don’t like about the Life P3 are the long stems (I like stems in general, but the P3 are pretty excessive), and the fact that audio doesn’t pause when you remove an earbud like with the Air 2 Pro. Otherwise, they are my favorite pair I own. I was mainly drawn to the P2 Mini because of the short stems. Overall, these earbuds work fine, but fall short in many aspects found with competitors at the same price point. Unlike others have said, I found the fit extremely comfortable (very similar to the P3). This, the compact size, and the sleek design were easily the biggest “pros” of these earbuds. Unfortunately, there were quite a few drawbacks for this price point. First, sound is mediocre at best. There are 3 different settings: Soundcore Signature, Bass, and Voice. The Voice is decent for podcasts and YouTube, but the Soundcore Signature sounds tinny and doesn’t match the quality of the same setting on the P3 or Air 2 Pro. The Bass just sounds muted. If you plan on using these earbuds for music, you’ll likely find yourself underwhelmed. Next, you can’t adjust the volume from the earbuds, only from the device it’s paired with. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to remove this feature, and the person who approved that decision, should probably be taken off of the concept team. If this was done in an effort to prevent accidental tapping, the cons far outweigh the pros here, and the lack of this feature is a major inconvenience. The USB-C charging is great, but comes standard even in $20 pairs of earbuds. The fact that the P2 Mini doesn’t come with wireless charging is pretty strange, especially since Anker uses this technology with so many of their other devices. There’s no ANC, which is totally fine, but still a feature you find with roughly 50% of the buds in this price range. Finally, call quality. The incoming quality is fine, but don’t rely on others hearing your clearly if you’re in a noisy environment such as a grocery store, restaurant, or airport. They list “AI Enhanced Voice Pickup” as a feature, but it’s effectiveness is questionable. Overall, if you’re someone who cares about sound above all else, I highly recommend the Air 2 Pro. I hate the colors offered and don’t find them to be very comfortable, but they are feature-rich and sound incredible. The voice enhancement is also top notch. I’ve literally been on a phone call while brushing my teeth (with an electric toothbrush) and the person on the other end had no idea and could still hear me clearly. If you’re looking for the best all-around earbuds, the P3 is a great choice. While they don’t quite match up the superior quality and sound of the Air 2 Pro, they are extremely comfortable and offer plenty of excellent features. In my opinion, the P3 are easily the best earbuds available under $100. Unless you just really love the Anker brand to the point where you refuse to own anything else and you’re on a very tight budget, I can’t recommend the Life P2 Mini at its current price point. The minis are not terrible by any stretch, but there are many others out there who offer more at the same price. If Anker had included wireless charging and the ability to adjust sound from the buds directly, I think these could be a top contender for $40. I’ll hang on to these for a couple more weeks so I can update on battery life, etc. but I will probably just end up purchasing another pair of the P3’s to replace the buds I lost.

SOUND CORE ANKER LIFE P2 MINI TRUE wireless earbuds ..... These things are big bang for little buck! I like them so much I ordered a second pair for hubby. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is great to me. Huby has two expensive sets of earbuds; each cost many more times what these cost. He says these are just as good, if not better. The astonishing thing is their range. We use them when we're doing our hour-long dog walk every evening, listening to a podcast together. I wear one of the earbuds, and he wears the other (I found I can put the opposite earbud in upside down and still wear either one in the right ear). Even when we are as much as 150-200 ft apart, we still get signal from the base before it drops out. His expensive earbuds won't do that. They lose signal quickly when away from their base. We've had these for over 2 years and they are still going strong. The only downside is that they are so small, they're easy to lose. However, they're small size is also a plus because they fit easily without much bulk in a pocket. Fortunately, they stay in the ear well. To me, they are comfortable and unobtrusive. The only time I've lost one is when fumbling with hats, earmuffs, and headgear for winter. This product is well worth a big applause. Also: These hold a charge for the better part of a work day (I've never timed it), and recharge within 5-10 minutes when reseated into the base. I can easily go well over 8 hours by using only one earbud at a time, immediately replacing it with the other earbud after 7-8 hrs listening. In that way, I could easily get over 14 hours of straight listening. 👏👏👏
