Product Information

I can't get comfortable with these rubber tipped buds, I tried all the fittings it came with and they all wound up hurting after a short bit. And if you don't get them in just, right, they don't sound good. They have a warm default sound profile, with cozy-sounding vocals and lead instruments. The companion app includes a graphic EQ and presets if you prefer a different sound, but unlike the Google earbuds, they don't come with any virtual surround sound features. They aren't the best option for workouts since they don't have stability fins or a very stable fit and may slip out of place if you move your head around a lot. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC Truly Wireless are a good alternative if you want similarly-performing buds with a slightly different shape. Compared to the Space A40's rounded look, the Liberty 4 have a more traditional stem design that some users may find preferable. The Liberty 4 also bring a touch more bass, though this muddies their reproduction of vocals and instruments a bit.

Fixed a written mistake in the Controls test stating that they had physical buttons. These earbuds have a touch-sensitive control scheme, and the text has been adjusted. I'm re-reviewing these because I hit them pretty harshly but I really wanted a pair of decent, wireless earbuds when biking that'd let me hear traffic and have my MP3 player on my handlebars without a wire that could cause problems- ya know, when STEERING. My initial review is below, feel free to ignore that if you want.One-Step Pairing: Life Dot 2 true wireless earbuds use our proprietary Push and Go technology to automatically connect with the last paired device. With the ANC on, they last well over eight hours continuously, and their case holds a couple of extra charges if needed. Out of the box, their warm sound profile adds a touch of extra boom to mixes without overwhelming vocals and instruments. You can also finetune their sound using their app's graphic EQ and presets. These buds support LDAC, too, which is Sony's proprietary codec for streaming hi-res audio. Unfortunately, not everyone will find their fit comfortable, especially if you have small ear canals. Also, if you're one of those "premium feel" people that put a metal casing above good performance and build quality? Just bail now, they're plastic across the board. The Anker Space A40 have great Bluetooth connectivity. They support multi-device pairing, so you can connect your headphones to two devices simultaneously. While they have high latency on PCs, their latency is lower on iOS and Android devices, ensuring your audio and visuals stay in sync. These headphones also support LDAC, which is Sony's proprietary hi-res codec. However, you need to use compatible audio to benefit from this codec, and you can only connect to one device at a time. 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.

Stable Connection: The latest Bluetooth 5 technology ensures a stable connection for clear, skip-free music. 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. I love these earbuds. My main dislike is that there is a constantly blinking LED on each that you cannot turn off. Personally, I don't mind this, but my wife sure does when she's trying to sleep next to me. Otherwise they've been great. I've had two pairs, and I've lost the right ear bud two times...sigh. However, my two left ear buds have worked reliably for 1 and 2 years, respectively, with very extensive use. The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Truly Wireless are the best wireless earbuds for sound quality that we've tested. These headphones are a great choice for listening to all sorts of genres thanks to their neutral and balanced sound, which is more versatile than the similarly-priced Google Pixel Buds Pro Truly Wireless. Whether you're listening to bass-heavy genres like EDM or vocal-centric content like folk music, these buds reproduce voices and lead instruments with great clarity and accuracy. If you want to switch up their sound, there are a couple of different EQ presets in their app, too.The sound is good, but that's coming from a non-audiophile person. I like some decent bass and don't mind a EQ changing the sound of a song. For what they are I don't feel like I can complain. The bass is still a bit jank like I said, it is there but it feels like it goes too hard for the drivers to keep up with. The Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless are the predecessor to the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) Truly Wireless. While both earbuds have the same premium build quality, the original model doesn't have as good an ANC performance as their successor. They don't have as long-lasting a battery as the second-generation model and can't reproduce as much low-bass. However, the first generation have a more neutral sound profile out of the box, which some users may prefer since you can't adjust the EQ settings.
