This is the Anker liberty 2 pro truly wireless earbuds. A $150 pair of wireless earbuds. My last experience looking at Anker earbuds didn’t go so well, but these might change my mind. Let’s find out with a little review.

First, I want to point out that these were shipped to me by Anker, but the opinions I have on these things are fully mine. The thing you’ll notice when opening up the box for the liberty 2 pro are the crazy amount of wings, and ear tips to customize the fit to your ears. You’re bound to find a good fit with these. The box also contains a usb c to usb a cable. Let’s start off with the case. I had some issue of how their soundcore liberty case was and how it made me look like I had a big honking sausage in my pants, which just looks so unnatural, but the one that comes with the liberty pro 2 are a good size, shaped like a hockey puck - stung by a bee, and fit comfortably in my pockets, even with a wallet and some keys. Also, sliding the case cover open and closed on the liberty 2 pro is really addicting.

The case itself charges via usb type c and holds up to 24 hours of charge, 8 hours of charge on each of the earbuds, and has these three little led indicators that gives you an idea on battery life of the case when it’s open.

Now let’s discuss the earbuds and sound quality. They have an inoffensive design, it’s not very flashy and it doesn’t have to be. They look fine. Like wireless earbuds, what did you expect? Spikes like those tricked out cars on the street? The sides look like buttons but are actually just for looks and their logo. The buttons are actually these tic-tac sized nubs that can play/pause, skip/go back for tracks, and the buttons can be set to change volume through changing the presets in the soundcore app. And the little indent near the front of the liberty 2 pro earbud, is actually for a white led light. Which blinks when you have your music paused. When using the correct ear tips and wings, you get a nice fit within your ear and the earbuds don’t fall out easy, even on the treadmill. The sound quality is really good. I can’t find anything to complain about with their sound at all. At first I thought the right earbud sounded weaker than the left, but it just wasn’t in my ear all the way and a quick change of tips fixed that. And if you download the soundcore app, you can easily change the eq settings, and the soundcore app even has a personalized EQ test to see what frequency of sounds you’re deaf to. It definitely made the earbuds more full sounding after using this setting but that may not be true for everyone. Now let’s talk about its mic quality.

What are the weak points for the Anker Soundcore 2 Pro? The first one would be how the led lights only turn on when you’re not listening to something, and they breathe in and out. So, in a situation like if you’re talking to someone, the lights can be a bit distracting. Also, they don’t serve much of a purpose other than that and they blink in the case when you’re pairing them, but are barely visible when in the case. I guess that’s good for in-the-dark usage. But other than that, the only other potential downside is it lacks the feature that many other truly wireless earbuds have where if you pull out an earbud, it pauses your music. Not a complete deal breaker but it would be a really nice quality of life feature to have.

So, in conclusion, the Anker Soundcore 2 Pro are a pair of really good truly wireless earbuds, with a no frills approach. They have a nicely sized case, great battery life, good fit due to the amount of ear tips and wings, and good sound quality. It doesn’t have fancy features like noise cancelling or removing your earbud to pause music. But that is outshined by how good this thing is as truly wireless earbuds for listening to music. I was going into this review with a lot of skepticism since I didn’t enjoy the last anker earbuds I tried, but these really impressed me.

I definitely like these more than the jabra 65t, and in many areas they’re better than the regular AirPods. And if I were to recommend truly wireless earbuds to my non-apple using friends, at just $150 MSRP, the Soundcore liberty 2 pro is definitely a good option.

Anyway guys, what do you think?
