Tips
---
* Download the SoundCore application! You're going to need it to use a lot of these earbuds' features.
* Install all firmware upgrades that the SoundCore application recommends. These firmware upgrades resolved a lot of problems that I initially had with mine. You may have to install more than one.
* Spend some time experimenting with different sizes of ear tips. I was amazed how much better the sound quality was once I had found the right ear tip size.
* Enable LDAC codec for improved audio quality.
* Enable gaming mode to make your audio sync up with videos or games.
Pros
----
* Incredible sound. I've owned lots of Bluetooth earbuds over the years, and these have some of the absolute best sound I've ever heard, bar-none. They punch WAY above their weight. Highs and mids are crisp, and the bass is strong without being overpowering. GREAT job!
* Best call quality of any earbuds I've ever tested - and I've tested well over a dozen at this point.
* LDAC Support. LDAC provides much higher sound quality than the default codecs used by Bluetooth earbuds, but at the cost of slightly increased battery consumption. Not all Bluetooth earbuds support LDAC, so it's really nice that these do.
* SoundCore application is fast, polished, and provides a ton of cool features. You can set the software equalizer here, create a HearID profile, etc.
* Can connect to two different Bluetooth sources at the same time, meaning you don't have to constantly re-pair these earbuds to switch between, say, your smartphone and your laptop. This is a small but very real quality of life improvement.
* Bluetooth 5.2. This is important because Bluetooth 5.2 is faster, works over longer ranges, uses less power, and provides better audio quality than previous versions.
* Ridiculously long battery life. I haven't been able to test Anker's claim of 50 hours of battery life, but they can certainly last through several days of heavy use without being recharged.
* Paired quickly and painlessly with every device I tried it with, including my Samsung S20 FE smartphone and my (older) Lenovo laptop running Windows 10.
* Earbuds are small and lightweight, meaning they're comfortable to wear basically all day.
* Ships with five different sizes of silicone ear tips, to make certain that you can get a good fit.
* Small, convenient carrying case. Fits easily and inconspicuously into a pants, hoodie, or jacket pocket.
* Wireless charging.
* Premium unboxing experience. I wouldn't hesitate to give these earbuds to family or friends.
Cons
-----
* None. These are literally the absolute best Bluetooth earbuds I've tested. I can't recommend them highly enough.
