Soundcore by Anker Life U2i Wireless Neckband Headphones, 10mm Drivers with BassUp Technology, 24H Playtime, AI-Enhanced Calls, Foldable and Lightweight, IPX5 Water-Resistant, Secure Fit, Bluetooth 5

These fit in my ears well, after getting used to the way the design works. They stay in good. The battery lasts a lot longer than my prior famous brand s o n y - which were light and great actually I have been using for years, but are a flimsier. also, I got so tired of losing expensive non-wired Bluetooth bud pairs - they're too expensive to replace all the time. These, on the other hand, -drape around the neck - I never lose them, I can sleep with them on. The Bluetooth works great. The bass and sound quality are great. CONS - not terrible, but, the little LED light on them is a bit bright, and the back of the neck cord - okay - but if it were just a wee-bit thinner of a cord/strap would be nice.

I have used this headset for a few months of weekly yard work. I can run a trimmer or a pole tree chainsaw & still hear my audiobbook. I've vacuumed my car without missing anything. You can answer or reject phone calls with an easy access button. It pairs to my phone quickly & seems to stay connected greater than the average 50' Bluetooth range. I have left my phone in the garage, gone around the corner of the house to the opposite side & maintained connection. The only issue I've had with this & a prior set I had was bending over in a head down position, it will cut out. I've had phone conversations with people unable to tell I wasn't on my phone directly. The Bluetooth connection on the phone tells the battery. I have used it 8 hours straight cleaning the garage, or 2 or 3 weeks of 2-3 hrs of yardwork on one charge. The volume control is easy to adjust, even with gardening gloves. It has the C charging cable, not a micro UBS, which makes plugging it in to charge easy. The earplugs rarely fall out, but I like that if they do, they are attached & not lost or damaged. These headphones keep me working longer because an audiobook makes it more enjoyable!

Sound quality is great for my usage - audiobooks and podcasts from my iPhone. These replaced a similar pair of Beats branded earbuds. They are a step below the Beats in their seamlessness in the Apple ecosystem but very solid and I liked the price.

These wireless headphones work really well, and the battery life is amazing. I can listen continuously for an entire day before needing to recharge. It’s also very convenient that they use a standard USB-C cable, which plugs directly into the headphones. You don’t need to carry a special case or proprietary charger, making them much easier to charge on the go. Overall, they’re a great choice for anyone looking for long-lasting, hassle-free wireless listening.

Update 4/20/24:I didn't think these could get worse but they did. The description claims BT 5 however when I tried pairing with my laptop while still connected to my phone I couldn't. Never had a problem doing that and just using the device I needed with the Soundcore Life U2 headphones. Now I can't even connect with these pieces of dung.Anker, you let me down. For years I've been telling people they can't go wrong with Ankor products (e.g. loose Micro USB after seizure & dropping yet STILL it reliably charged AND you guys reached out to me to replace it with my 4 star rating.) Everyone in my family has either a battery, cables or headphones from you guys now. If this is what's being put out now then sadly I can't get behind your products anymore. Even my wife, who has argued with me over not being able to see the difference between 1080 and 4K, said her pair sounded bad and has poor battery life and keeps trying to convince me to get something else.Original:I had purchased the older Soundcore Life U2 earbuds about 4 times (for myself, plus more for others) because the battery, sound and comfort were all top notch. I have used the awesome warranty on all because either the right earbud quit working or more commonly the power button broke. I still rated the Life U2 at 5-stars because of the warranty and they actually were pretty dang good. With almost constant use throughout the day I only needed to charge them about once every 3 days. During the last warranty exchange I was told the Life U2 was no longer being made however they'd send me the current U2i.The earbuds on the Life U2i don't fit my ears using the same size (biggest) silicone tips and fall out of both ears when doing basic life things. The battery needs charged every day now and they sound kind of muddy (even with bass boost off). My wife has the same problems with hers up to this point. MINE also randomly disconnect from my phone some days. My wife hasn't had *this* problem with her set. I added the sport thing (not included, from old Soundcore Life U2 earbuds) behind the silicone tip and that has helped a little. I probably have to fix them only half as much now. Running or rough ground they will fall out.I used to be able to play for a couple more hours when the first low battery message played. Now I don't get an hour. If these were the first Ankor earbuds I had purchased rather than first of many they would have also been the last.Knowing how the power button kept breaking I believe they may be fixed with this new design of it being smaller.Anker Soundcore Life had a really good run, unfortunately now it's time to find something else. I'm already screwing around with these.

This particular headset I have has been a big disappointment considering it was brand new when I received it this is a very reputable company but this time around they have failed me this headset disconnect every time you have to keep on reconnecting it every time and that is not convenient at all
