Home Reviews ,,,,, In recent weeks we have tried Anker Soundbuds Life, a pair of in-ear headphones that, due to their particular shape, we consider particularly comfortable for listening to music or managing phone calls in city traffic. They are in fact accompanied by a flexible choker that allows them to be hung around the neck with elegance, also thanks to the magnetic system that blocks them, minimizing the rocking of the earphones during movements.
How they are made
The earphones are made entirely of plastic, although the brushing of the body is visually confused with that of the aluminum.
The necklace that distinguishes them is quite light (60 grams) and the inner half is coated in soft silicone, a choice that increases its adherence with the bare neck in the summer or with the collar of a shirt, sweater or coat in the cold season.
Aesthetically it is very elegant: on the outer side there is only a button through which you interact with the voice assistant (Siri on the iPhone) or start / stop music playback, on the inner edge instead on one side there is the key On / Off, on the other hand the rocker for volume and track skipping and the microUSB input for recharging the internal battery, well protected by a silicone cap.
the actual earphones are connected through a thin rubber cable: each is approximately 20 centimeters long and ends in small earphones with in-ear rubber. The external surface, flat, protects a magnet that allows the two earphones to hook together: in this way they will remain in order and without jumping when we temporarily remove them from the ears.
How are they doing
The audio quality is very good: they sound good at all frequencies, with excellent bass reproduction. The sound is slightly heavier at these frequencies and overall the resulting audio appears slightly darker than for example the same song heard on generic headphones, such as Apple's EarPods, which offer a less loud but clearer sound. complex.
They are excellent in front of phone calls: the microphone is installed on the neckline, so first of all there will be no difference in speaking using only one of the two earphones (right or left) or both at the same time. The soundproofing is very good, as well as the comfort when wearing the earphones, which easily adapt to any ear cavity thanks to the presence of some interchangeable rubber pads of different sizes.
As for autonomy, they are the worthy companions of travelers. A single charge ensures at least 15 hours of continuous playback at maximum volume (regardless of whether it is time dedicated to listening to music or managing phone calls).
Conclusions and retail price
The Anker Soundbuds Life earphones do not differ in audio quality from the other Bluetooth headphones of the manufacturer, among the best in circulation in the quality / price ratio. In this case, the price is slightly above average due to the crewneck system, the magnetic coupling and the quality of the materials used. You buy them on Amazon for 49.99 euros.
