Okay, so I finally got my hands on the Soundcore Life 2 NC headphones. I’d been eyeing them for a while, and after seeing a decent deal, I pulled the trigger. Here’s how it all went down.
The Unboxing
First things first, the unboxing. It was pretty standard, nothing too fancy. I ripped open the box and found the headphones nestled inside, along with a USB-C charging cable (thank goodness, no more micro-USB!), and a soft carrying pouch. It also had an AUX cable, which is nice for when I want to use them wired.
Getting Started and Pairing
I powered them on by holding down the power button, and a little voice told me they were ready to pair. I went into the Bluetooth settings on my phone, and “Soundcore Life 2 NC” popped right up. I tapped it, and boom, connected. Super easy, no fuss at all.
Testing the Sound and Noise Cancellation
Now for the important part – how do they sound? I fired up my usual playlist, a mix of everything from pop to rock to a little bit of classical. Honestly, I was pretty impressed. The bass was definitely there, but it didn’t feel overpowering. The mids and highs were clear, too. I’m no audiophile, but to my ears, they sounded great!
Next up, the noise cancellation. I turned it on with a simple button press, and it was like the world around me just faded away. I tested this by the window, I live near a busy street. These are not as robust for noise canceling as the top of the line models. But I found them to be more than adequate for my needs!
Using the Controls
The headphones have a few buttons on the earcups. I played around with them a bit. There’s a volume up and down, a play/pause button, and the noise cancellation button. They’re all pretty easy to find and use without looking. I also tested out the built-in microphone by making a quick phone call. The person on the other end said I sounded clear, so that’s a win.
Wearing Them for a While
I wore these headphones for a good few hours while I was working. They’re pretty comfortable, I have to say. The earcups are soft, and the headband didn’t feel too tight. My ears did get a little warm after a while, but that’s pretty typical for over-ear headphones, in my experience.
Final Thoughts
- They are not bad at all.
- I like the sound.
- I charged them up fully.
Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. The Soundcore Life 2 NC headphones are a solid pair of headphones, especially for the price. They sound good, the noise cancellation works well, and they’re comfortable enough to wear for extended periods. If you’re looking for a good pair of noise-canceling headphones without breaking the bank, these are definitely worth checking out. I Did it!
