How Much Comfortable Is It?

This is a super comfortable pair of neckband headphones. Ensuring your long time wearing comfort, it gives you a natural and fresh feeling.

You know it comes with different sizes of ear tips to provide the right fit. Whatever your ear is, small, medium, or large, you just have to find out which one is perfect for you.

The medium-sized ear tips suited me well. I wore it 8-10 hours a day but didn’t feel any discomfort or pain.

The neckband is also very flexible and fit for most head sizes. You won’t feel any pressure around your neck.

You can wear this Anker neckband headphone with glasses too.

But it might not be comfy when lying in bed.

Most people judge headphones or earbuds by their sound profile.

Right now, I am going to describe every detail of its sound profile.

Stay with me to know it.

Sound Profile

This neckband headphone provides a neutral and balanced sound profile. It will give you superb sound with a great listening experience.

Its precious sound always immerses me in the music world.

The frequency response is very flat and perfect for all genres of music.

If you are a heavy bass lover, there is no doubt it’s perfect for you.

It supports dual EQ modes. Just switch on BassUp mode and it will provide you up to 70% more bass than normal mode.

The 10mm drivers have a bio-cellulose diaphragm. It gives a high-detail treble with superior clarity.

So, overall the sound quality is excellent.

Does It Leak Any Sound?

The sound leakage performance of Soundcore Life-U2 headphone is poor. It leaks a bit more sound while listening at a loud volume.

When you are in a quiet place, there is a chance that people around you will feel bothered by it.

However, the leaked sound is not very understandable in a noisy area.

Therefore, it is always safe to listen at a moderate volume.

Noise Cancelling

This headphone comes with active noise cancellation features. It can isolate a bit more sound due to its in-ear design.

But the sound isolation is not enough like other active noise-canceling headphones.

While listening, I felt it couldn’t isolate sound actively.

As they claim it has an active noise cancelling feature, it should be much more improved.

 How’s The Microphone?

he Soundcore-Life-U2 comes with an excellent microphone for making calls. The microphone is constructed with CVC 8.0 noise reduction technology.

It can enhance your call quality by reducing background noise. When making a call, your partner will hear you very clearly. The background noise won’t interfere with your conversation.

Whether you are driving, cycling, walking, or doing other workouts, it will ensure a great voice clarity.

However, it has no mic mute feature. You can’t mute your mic when you need it.

Recording Quality

As the mic is superb, you can record audio perfectly. The recorded audio will be obvious and understandable.

My friend recorded a podcast with this, and the recording was excellent.

Are you worried about its control system?

Don’t worry. I am going to enlighten you with it now.

How Strong Is The Build Quality?

The building quality of this Life U2 headset is sturdy enough. It’s made of silicon and titanium alloy steel core. The making materials are also very robust and durable.

But the wire is very thin. It has a chance to be torn off during heavy activities. Be careful about it.

I have been using it for the last several months, and still, it is good.

The earbuds are magnetic that stick together when not in use.

But if your headset gets damaged within 18 months, don’t worry. Soundcore by Anker is committed to giving an 18-month hassle-free warranty.

You will also be pleased to know that they provide lifetime technical support. Apart from this, they offer 30 days money-back guarantee to ensure customer satisfaction too.

Design

The life U2 comes with an ergonomic and lightweight design. These neckband earbuds look so stylish.

This headset comes in two colors: back and blue.

I personally love the black color. It seems sleek and pretty to me. But if you don’t like it, you can choose the blue one. Both have the same performance.

Let’s go for its portability and stability now.

Is It Portable?

It’s a decent pair of portable headphones. This headset is very lightweight and flexible enough. You can fold it compactly.

You can carry it wherever you go. Just carry it with your pockets or little backpack. It is also very convenient to carry around your neck.

How Much Stable?

This headset is stable enough for any activities as it is mainly designed for outdoor listening.

Whether you are running, jumping, or doing other heavy workouts, it will still gently sit around your neck. There is no chance to slide or drop off your ears.

The magnetic earbuds are also handy for stability when not in use.

Is It Waterproof?

Yes, you are right.

The Anker Life U2 is a pair of waterproof earbuds with IPX7 ratings. It can protect against rainwater, heavy sweat, dust, and so on.

But you cannot use it for deep swimming or long showers. Too much water might affect the sound quality.

Anyway, Soundcore-Life-U2 is a Bluetooth neckband headphone.

Maybe you are thinking why I am not explaining it yet. Just jump to the below section. You will find the detail there.

Bluetooth Details

Life U2 neckband comes with upgraded Bluetooth version 5.0. The wireless connection is 33 feet.

The Bluetooth and wireless range are superb, which ensures fast pairing.

It supports multi-devices pairing.

Don’t worry, if you need to listen to songs on your pc and make a phone call on your phone.

Just connect two devices at the same time via Bluetooth.

It supports only the SBC codec for audio, not APtx. It doesn’t support non-Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

As it is a Bluetooth headset, you have to pair it first to use it, right?

But do you know the pairing process? Don’t worry. Just look below

Battery Details

This neckband earphone comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It provides you 24 hours of continuous playtime with a single charge.

24 hours is too much time to boost your playlist. But the battery life depends on how loud you are listening to the song.

Thanks for USB C charging. It provides fast charging.

Just charge it for 5 minutes and it will offer you 2 hours of playtime.

Now that you have known about the battery, let’s dig into its compatibility now.

You can connect it with Windows 10 and Mac. It is also well-suited with Android, iPad, and iPhone. You can also connect it with Bluetooth active smart TV.

But it can’t be compatible with gaming consoles like Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

A question may emerge in your mind at this moment. Is it suitable for gaming or not?

Ok, I am going to reveal it now.

Is It Suitable For Gaming Or Not?

• Also, it will be a great pick for online teaching or classes.
