Anker’s cheap truly wireless earbuds have a lot of high-end features that you might not expect. Listeners can use aptX, and the IPX7 rating shows that the headphones are very durable. A lot of pressure is put on the outside of the ear by the buttons, which can be painful.
If you don’t want to use the controls on the headphones, you’ll enjoy the high-quality P2 headphones. If not, get touch-control earphones from Anker.
The Soundcore Life P2 Mini is no different. For a pair of $40 earphones, it looks and feels very nice. The matte black oval charging case feels solid, has a classy shiny black line, and the lid closes with a soft click. The front of the case has three LED lights that show how much power is left. The case can fully charge the earbuds three times before it needs to get new power through USB-C.

Where yo get Soundcore Life P2 Mini earbuds?
The earbuds have stems, but they are much shorter than the stems on the Life P2 and Life P3. Good, because they look better in your ears. They are matte with a shiny back inlay in the middle. The top of the stem is connected to an oval in-ear piece that is now common on wireless earbuds. It’s easy to get a snug and comfortable fit with these buds, which is why everyone chooses them.
They also block out some of the noise around you, but not nearly enough to cancel it out. The Life P2 mini is waterproof up to IPX5, which means it can handle sweat and rain while you’re working out or riding the bus. The battery life of the earbuds is great, and a single charge lets you use them for up to 8 hours.
The Soundcore Life P2 earbuds come with a lot of marketing language, which is common for audio products that are mostly sold on Amazon. “Graphene drivers, beamforming noise reduction, cVc 8.0 technology, BassUp technology, PUSH AND GO technology, and more” are used to explain their high price, but you can ignore most of this.
What matters is how the buds feel when you use them, which is mostly a good feeling. First of all, Bluetooth connectivity is the best. Using an iPhone 11, we found that reception was the same in different rooms and through different walls, with no skips or dropouts.
This was also true when we were moving around. Pairing is also easy, since when you take the buds out of their case, they connect right away to the last device you used them with.
