I've been enjoying these earbuds for almost two days straight. Both music and podcasts sound great, and the mics have been solid. I used them for work calls and the people I've asked have said that I sounded clear.
Being able to use one earbud at a time is very nice. This is frequently how I find myself at work so I can have an ear open to talk to people who walk up to my desk. Either right or left (mono/stereo) can easily be used independently.
I think I hit the sweet spot in terms price vs. earbud battery, case battery, IPX waterproof rating, cVc noise cancelling, and quality of microphones. The big con that I didn't foresee was that physical buttons on truely wireless earbuds can be kind of painful.
The positioning and the stiff click on these buttons is such that pressing them requires jamming the earbuds deeper into your ear. I'm trying to grab the sides with my thumb and middle finger while I click but this is a little awkward.
Long story short these are fantastic earbuds with one painful flaw. I'll keep trying to use them for a few more days but I may have to keep looking for the perfect model.
There is a newer model of this item:

Pairing – Easy and simple. When you turn on Bluetooth, you will see the device name “Soundcore 2” and “Sound core 2 L”. Essentially, each earbud outputs a signal and when you connect to one, it automatically syncs with the other earbud. When connected, you will be greeted with a voice stating the battery is high. Also, when paring and connected, each earbud outputs a blinking white light, letting you know they are ready to pair and connected.
Battery – Long lasting! I own both the Airpod pro and Powerbeats pro, and the Soundcore 2 is a battery champ. It is rated for 7 hours and while I have never fully depleted them, I can confirm they outlast the Airpod Pro’s by a long mile and from 7AM to 1PM, the battery regularly has 70%left; volume between 30-50%. I am confident that these can make it through an 8-hour day, with no issue. The charging case does not display the battery percentage for itself, however the phone Bluetooth settings on your phone does show how much the earbuds have.
Sound – Excellent. These are very, very good for both phone calls, music, and video. Whether in traffic, downtown city, or outside, parties on the other end of the call never have issue hearing me, nor me hearing the other side. Music and video sounds just as good, coming off very clear and crisp, with no lag or delay. Let me reiterate, I confirm there is no lag whatsoever, so do not let that hold you back.
Fit – Very comfortable. The Soundcore 2 earbuds plug right into the ear, with no issue and comes with 5 sizes for ear tips. If there was anything I do not like, its that the earbuds create pressure when pushed in too far or when using the control button and this is uncomfortable. Also, there is a level of noise cancellation, as certain elements of the outside are blocked, however the Soundcore 2 does not have official active noise cancellation (ANC).
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and would buy again or for a close one.
Update 07/05/2020: now using with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and these work with no problems!

Zweigeteilt: Qualität wirklich gut, praktische Bedienung leider echt daneben
Reviewed in Germany on October 8, 2019
Geliefert in einer kleinen Kartonage. Die einzelnen Elemente sind sehr geordnet in einem entsprechenden Plastikeinschub einsortiert.Reviewed in Germany on October 8, 2019
Die eigentlichen Ohrhörer sind in einer kleinen Schatulle, die auch gleichzeitig die Funktion der Ladestation für die Ohrhörer übernimmt, wertig verstaut.
Das gesamte Arrangement macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck. Parallel sind zu den bereits vormontierten Ohrgummis oder EarTips genannt, vier weiter beigelegt.
Die eigentliche Bedienungsanleitung beschränkt sich auf eine reine Piktogramm Darstellung, die in meinen Augen nicht wirklich zu 100% schlüssig rüberkommt. Wer sich jedoch mit solchen Teilen auskennt, für den sollte die Inbetriebnahme keine große Herausforderung darstellen. Was die Bedingung hingegen anbelangt, da hat man meiner Meinung nach jedoch daneben gegriffen.
Zunächst zum Sound:
Hier möchte ich keine großen Umschweife machen, habe diverses Musikmaterial herangezogen und würde den Gesamteindruck als gut bis sehr gut bezeichnen, ganz knapp hinter und somit vergleichbar, mit den neulich getesteten kabellosen Ohrhörern (würde ich jedoch schon als subjektiven Unterschied deklarieren -natürlich auch Musikstil abhängig-).
Warum ich an dieser Stelle nicht alles bezüglich des Sounds darlegen möchte, der letztlich gut bis sehr gut ist, liegt an einem ganz entscheidenden Kriterium, der leider nicht gerade praxisnahen Bedienung im realen Einsatz.
Vorab gebe ich zu, dass ich bei der Verwendung solche Kopfhörer ohne „Verlustsicherung“ gewisse Ressentiments habe und mir jene mit einem Nackenband deutlich mehr zusagen.
Der erste Unterschied beginnt dann auch schon mal damit, dass sich immer erst einmal beide Ohrhörer „paaren“ müssen, bevor die Verbindung zu Player, Handy, TV usw. aufgebaut wird (geht aber recht fix).
Aber dann geht es los. Die gesamte Steuerung erfolgt über jeweils eine große Taste an jedem Ohrhörer, sprich hier muss ich über „Morsecode“ den jeweiligen Betriebszustand „er“tippen, z.B. 2x rechter Ohrhörer tippen = Vorspulen, 2x linke Seite = Zurückspulen, 1 Sekunde Lang (hier egal ob links oder rechts) = Gesprächsannahme, dann 1x kurz für auflegen, drei Sekunden lang drücken zum ausschalten usw.
Ist ja alles gut und schön, kann man sich alles antrainieren, jedoch kam dann im realen Einsatz das „Aus“, zumindest für mich.
Ich denke jeder, der mit dieser Art Kopfhörer herumläuft (gerade eben bei körperlichen Aktionen) hat zwischendurch immer mal das Bedürfnis, einen oder beide Ohrhörer im Gehörgang neu zu positionieren, weil sie halt auch mal verrutschen und wenn es auch nur darum geht, sie wieder etwas fester ans Ohr zu drücken.
Was passiert dann natürlich? Man betätigt zwangsläufig die großen Tipptasten, das dann beim Joggen und der Lauf-Rhythmus ist weg, denn dann beginnt man damit das Tippen wieder Rückgängig zu machen.
Aber dann kommt für mich das absolute „no go“, eine Lautstärkeregelung ist an den Ohrhörern selbst nicht möglich, diese muss am Ausgabegerät erfolgen, da muss ich ganz ehrlich sagen, dann kann ich auch wieder ein Kabel dran machen.
Wenn ich also jedes Mal, wenn ich die Lautstärke ändern möchte, mein Smartphon doch wieder (z.B. aus dem Rucksack) rauskramen muss, machen kabellose Kopfhörer für mich keinen großen Sinn mehr, vor allem wenn man sie (konstruktionsbedingt) durch das fehlende Kabel auch schnell verlieren kann.
Zusammenfassend:
Aufgrund der sehr guten Verarbeitung, des guten bis sehr guten Sound (beides zwischen 4 bis 5 Sternen) aber der (in meinen Augen) komplett unpraktischen Bedienung im realen Einsatz, sind hier für mich in der Summe gerade noch drei Sterne drin.
Sehr, sehr schade eigentlich, hier sollten die Entwickler definitiv noch mal nachlegen, denn es würde sich wirklich lohnen.
Wer jedoch in diesem -für mich entscheidenden- Manko kein Problem sieht, bekommt einen ansonsten guten bis sehr guten Kopfhörer.
