With already 8 models to its credit, Soundcore (Anker) is working hard to find a place in the world of true wireless. Among them, the Life P2 are one of the most popular products of the brand and among the cheapest on the market.
The Life P2 humbly fulfill their mission and timidly win the third star. Their ergonomics are very honest and the sound performance is just fine, provided you don’t force the listening volume. If you have a very limited budget, however, we advise you to turn to the JBL Tune 120TWS. They are certainly a bit more expensive, but they offer a much better controlled and more pleasant sound reproduction.
Points forts
- Extended frequency response, good reproduction of stereo space.
- Good feelings of comfort and support.
- Easy to use.
- Very good battery life (7 hours per charge).
Weak points
- “Acid”, “spicy” aspect of the treble / distortion management perfectible in the high mids/treble.
- Quickly tiring sound reproduction at sustained listening volume.
- No mono summing using a single earbud, no volume control.
- Significant latency.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The services offered by these Elite 3 are completely consistent with what we are entitled to expect from them, both in terms of comfort, use and listening experience. They are clearly not the headphones true wireless the most efficient and complete on the market, but they are positioned as a good choice for those who want a simple, efficient and inexpensive model. In addition, their mechanical buttons and in-ear design will appeal to those who don’t like touch controls or who are looking for passive isolation, without active noise reduction.
