About this deal

Of course, I’d prefer less glossy plastic, but the design is most importantly comfortable to wear and easy and straightforward to get a secure fit. There is no multipoint, but they quickly switch between memorized sources—no need to disconnect from one to connect to another. Pressing is light but perceptible: you always understand whether you pressed a button, but you don’t need to “hammer” the headphones into your ears. As already mentioned above, the proprietary application is not supported here; there are no indicators inside, which means that the case’s charge cannot be recognized at all. In my opinion, it is optimal for the headphones to work for 5-6 hours (at any volume) and have an impressive battery in the case of many recharges.

The headphones themselves are also quite oversized but do not protrude much from the ears due to their ergonomic shape. Stereo separation within the earbuds is also good, each audio channel is identifiable and tracks that make use of stereo panning sound immersive and provide an up-close listening experience. Superior Balanced Sound: Life Dot 2 true wireless earbuds have 8mm triple-layer dynamic drivers to deliver 40% more bass and 100% more treble for rich, expertly balanced sound.

At the same time, the detail in the treble of the Dot 2s can come over as a bit artificial sometimes (though only just a little).

Zero-Pressure AirWings:Our hollow AirWings have a flexible, soft silicone build that partially deflates to conform to the shape and size of your ears for a secure fit with unmatched comfort.

Of course, the midrange details most often suffer, but the emphasis on the high frequency gives a feeling of pseudo-detail, which smooths out the dip in the midrange. Since the bass presence of the Dot 2s is mostly in the lower bass, this drowns out most of the bass and causes them to sound a lot thinner than when I would listen to them just sitting down. The Life Dot 2 is powered by 8mm dynamic drivers, giving a sound that offers clear treble and deep bass.

This isn’t too much of a problem with these earbuds as quite a bit of it is covered up with the AirWings, but it is something to consider. This is the reason I kept the A1s over the Dot 2s, though if would mostly use them for listening at home, then I would have kept the Dot 2s. The earbuds have physical button controls on each earbud, this button has a matte finish which makes it easily distinguishable as it has a different texture and feel to the rest of the earbuds. You can take out, for example, the right earpiece, start the music, then take out the left one; the music will sound in both. They can handle any popular music, electronic styles, metal, jazz, orchestral music, and so on at a decent level.

There is no volume control, and switching tracks by holding the button is not the most common option. But on the street it is not very comfortable to communicate, there is too much noise, you have to either raise your voice or switch to the phone. Charging the earbuds for 10 minutes will provide an hour and a half of additional listening time and charging the case is done over USB Type-C. I couldn't find any good comparisons of the differences in sound quality between these two earbuds, and I have tried both so I thought I should make a brief post on this.From the convenient: there are microphones on each earphone, respectively, you can talk on any separately, if necessary. Extreme 100-Hour Playtime: The charging case has 4× the battery capacity of other cases’—allowing you to extend the earbuds’ 8-hour playtime over and over. If all this is removed, the seams from the assembly/casting are visible on the cases, but they do not stand out and do not seem to be crooked or dangerous in terms of wear resistance.
