Great sound, great fit, AWFUL pause button.
These are great sounding ear buds, but their biggest problem is that they went with a touch sensitive pad instead of a simple button. You have to double tap it to pause (or set it to long hold, which takes like 3-4 seconds to activate). The double tap registers maybe 40% of the time I go to pause what i'm listening to. You have to be super accurate, and you can't tap too fast, or too slow, or else it will not register the taps. When someone comes up to talk to me and i have to spend 5 seconds tapping my ear like an insane person, it's infuriating. I was going to give this 4/5 stars, but writing that out made me remember how much i don't like this feature, and can't imagine how more people aren't bringing this up.
Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these earbuds. They are easy to use, the case is sleek and really functional. Stays in your ear no problem. Sound is great, has a few options where you can block out outside noise. Battery stays forever which is realy good. App easy to use. Definitely recommend!
Easy to use and sound great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are actually really nice little set of ear buds. I like the clarity of them when I am listening to music. I think these are going to be great for someone who listens to them for short periods of time. I don't think because the charge last too long that these are gonna be great for someone who would want to wear them for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. There pretty easy to set up but the explanation for the directions wasn't super clear. They do come with several sets of covers for the earbuds themselves so no matter what size your ear canal is you would probably be included in the sizes they have available. They are very convenient for someone who is always on the go or super busy on the phone all the time because you don't have to put your phone up to your ear or hold it or worry about it because you can still make calls with these earbuds and don't need to have your phone you know up to your ear the whole time. Overall I think the design is pretty nice they are very convenient they do sound nice in clear when your on the phone or when your just listening to music they do have Tap controls that you can set up to your specifications as well which make them even easier to use
Battery life just doesn't last on these…
I've purchased the Soundcore Dot 2 earbuds twice within the past 4 months. The first set stopped keeping a charge within 3 weeks. The case was fully charged but the earbuds would have the “battery low” and disconnect. I figured maybe it was flawed? I took them back into Walmart since it had only been around 15 days since I purchased them. I did an exchange and hoped the second pair would be better. It wasn't. This second pair is now doing the same and it's been 6 weeks. When they are charged, I only get around 3 hours of battery I've. Sound is ok, but definitely not noise canceling. The right ear goes out faster than the left. I'm not trying again on a 3rd set. I also noticed that the price went up in the past few weeks after I exchanged! So your product sucks yet you hike up the price?? I'm giving an honest review and I hope it helps someone make a decision whether to purchase. The battery life just doesn't last on these. You'll either be returning them or throwing away your money. I'll be looking for other options.

Great headphones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Need headphones to cancel out background noise these are for you I can't hear anything with there on but my music working out in a loud gym can be distracting but with these headphones I no longer have that they take all background noise out there perfect
Love these
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been wanting to try earbuds for some time now. Im glad i tried the life dot 2. These seem to charge very quickly. They say 100 hour playtime but i havent pushed the limit or timed to see how that goes. They are great to clean house with when music is a must. They dud connect with Bluetooth very easily. They go right back into the charger when not in use. Not sure if thats good for them but it keeps them ready to go when a music fix is needed. They do pair up quickly. If they run dead you can pop them back in the charger for 10 to 15 minutes and your ready to go again for hours. They are made of a soft silicone stuff that is very comfortable in the ear and keeps the music in your ear. I havent really noticed and noise leaking dustractions with these. They seem to be made well. They do not feel cheaply made. I really like them. The sound is adjusted well in these. You can also use one ear at a time if you need to keep an ear open to hear other things. Im hoping they work great when i start mowing in the spring. Great earbuds. Dont be afraid to buy them.
Not good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I connected these to my cell phone while I jogged. The static level gave me a headache, and the outside noise wasn't blocked . I thought the smaller the better quality I would have since they fit right inside my ear. I was wrong this was not the case. I did try them a few times to make sure I was right and each time the wind or outside noise blocked my rehashing meditation. I don't think I would recommended these to anyone. I have it two stars because of the weight was good and the size, but overall listening and blocking out sound was poor.

Short Life
Worked for like 2 months after purchasing in Walmart and then nothing. For $100, you'd think they would last longer. The right earpiece lost the base driver. These are well taken care of and were not subject to any extreme physical or temperature-related shock.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's unusual for this product to be acting like this, and we would love to get you what you need! If possible, please try the following steps to see if the issue persists:-Use a Q-tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol to gently clean the metal mesh filter under the rubber ear tips. This is best done when sound is playing through your earbuds at max volume.If it doesn’t help, please reach out to us via support service@soundcore.com or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973.

Wireless.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to receive these wireless buds. My current pair are wireless but have a chord attached making them difficult to wear just one. These headphones allow for one or both buds to be worn at a time. The noice cancelling works rather well and allows for pleasant listening. On the other hand, the transparency is convenient for needing to hear around you while still being submersed in your music. The call quality is pretty great and doesn't pick up a lot of ambient noise. Con:no actual button. I would prefer a click type button system instead of touch. It doesn't always respond well the way I'm aiming for. Overall, would recommend to anyone wanting a good quality wireless headphone with the expensive costs associate with most!
Wish these were louder
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like these earbuds for the ease of use, the comfort, and the noise cancellation options. I just wish they would let the customer choose how loud they go. These are set at a level they chose and even though you can adjust the sound for music via the Soundcore app which has a equalizer they still only go so loud. That is my only gripe. The battery life is longer compared to most others I have used in the past. I just had to make sure to update them first using the app and also make sure I left the case open while doing their firmware update. I also like the ear tips and ear wings that these come with, there are several to choose from to help make sure they fit me perfectly. The instructions are easy to follow. They also work great for phone calls. These have 4 mics and several noise cancellation options to choose from via the app.
