Spirit X2

1. comfort - they did seem to hurt a little bit in the beginning but I found that if you adjust the flexible hook tips slightly outward, the pain was gone. 2. sound - good to great for BT. Obv not as good as some wired buds/headphones. 3. BT connectivity - I did find connection drops when phone is in back pocket, more so when in left back pocket. Seems to be a same problem with other BT i have owned like the Anker Soundbud Curve. It also does not auto connect if you are turning on the X2 from off state, meaning if you turn off the X2 via long button press vs. putting them in charging case to turn off and removing to turn on. 4. Battery - my last point about the BT connectivity ties in w my issue on the battery. I seem notice shorter battery life between the case and the headset when I put the X2 in the charging case instead of turning off via button press. ie if I run the battery out of the buds, it lasts about 5 days at 1.5 hrs/day so about 7.5 hrs and the base seem to have about 3 charge cycles for the buds so this worked out to be about 20 days total. When I first started using the X2, I would put the buds into the base after each use and only got about 10-15 days before base and buds were drained. Also, in running the battery down in the X2 before charging, I noticed the right side would die out before left side. Android (Samsung) BT connection shows an estimate percentage of battery remaining and right side usually dies with the left side showing at least 40% remaining. Overall, battery life is very good though compared to the non-hook style buds. Will be contacting Anker and update my review. Update 11/16 - true to their always excellent customer support, they responded both to my posted question and email inquiry within 24hrs. They sent out a replacement unit instantly and just received yesterday. I'm upping from 3 to 4 stars for their response and support. I will update again after testing out the new unit and report back if 1st was just a fluke w battery issues. Nice work Anker/Soundcore! Thank you. Update 12/18 - I did find new replacement unit to have similar faster battery drain on the right vs. left. My guess is possibly b/c the right side is the BT connection to phone/player and the left BT connection is through the right side piece so you end up with faster battery drain on right. Just my guess. This is not really an issue if you regularly put the units in charging pod when not in use vs. my using up the battery before recharging. I have since gone back to regularly putting into charging pod after use and the replacement unit does seem to last about 20 days w 1.5-2 hr use each day. I'm upping from 4 to 5 stars for Anker/Soundcore's excellent customer service and support and overall build + sound quality. Given the long battery life of unit and pod, the battery drain issue is not that big of a deal.

edit #2: I'm editing this review again. Anker sent me a new pair for free some months ago. I've been using them just as I used my previous pair, but these ones are so far holding up just fine. Since these appear to be a working pair, I'll write a full review: I paid $80 for these and see they are now down to $65. Despite the initial problem I had, I would recommend these headphones at that price. There's a bit of clunkiness to them, ie. how long it takes to shut them down (you have to hold both buttons for like 7 seconds - it just takes a while). If you pause your music and try and turn off the headphones right away, they will instead turn the bass either up or down depending on where you had it. You have to wait a minute or so before powering down without changing your setting. But for $65 headphones, some clunkiness should be expected. They're not going to operate like headphones 3x the price. That said, the sound quality is IMO very good. The headphones come with a lot of extras including different rubber bud sizes to fit different ears. Good, solid bass. Comfortable (for me). I have fairly large ears, and none of apple's headphones have ever fit properly. If you're on a budget and aren't an audiophile and just want headphones that work well, I'd say these are solid to go with. I listen to a lot of music and these satisfy me just fine. edit: i’m editing this review because Anker customer service reached out to me and sent me a new pair for free. i’m hoping this pair holds up better and the previous pair was a dud. if they last this time, i would give them 5 stars as the sound quality is very solid and the included accessories are nice. however, obviously need to last more than a few months. i’ll update again later. the left ear bud has completely stopped working. it will power on for a second and shut back down, even fresh off a charge. i would avoid at all costs. they were good until that. i take good care of my things and never have stuff break or stop working. i did nothing special at all with these earbuds and they still crapped out. pretty disappointing.

me sorprendió la calidad de audio que da, si bien no es impecable como para un audiofilo, se aprecian muy bien los instrumentos sin distorsión en volumen alto, son muy sólidos, y el seguro de plástico que tiene asefuea que no se muevan para nada en movimiento o en ejercicio, incluye varios tapones de diferentes tamaños. Muy satisfecho en general por los audífonos

عمليه جدا و لكن حوار ٣٥ دا لكل حاجة يعني البوكس و كل سماعه مجموع وقتهم الي ٣٥ ولكن لازال منتج رائع

Sonido muy claro con buen bajo. Por su diseño básicamente imposible que se caigan. La duración de la batería no la he comprobado. Los he usado por 4 horas sin ningún problema. Pero tengo la costumbre de ponerlos a cargar entre usos así que no he comprado la duración máxima de la carga.

عادي

Excelente calidad, todo 👍
