Has anyone tried the Soundcore Life P2 Mini? I have bought them as a gift. All of the Soundcore earphones I have tried have been pretty good, so I hope she likes them.
That model is a stem model versus this one which is more like the Liberty 3 Pro in design although not as big.
I have never tried JBL and have to say I am impressed with the sound quality from this model enough that I will have to start to really look at their line up. This is just their middle tier so makes me wonder what their top models sound like
I’m intrigued by the Tune130nc. I can also get the Club Pro+ and the Tour Pro+ for just a little bit more money. I wonder if anyone tried all 3 but I kind of doubt it.
Did anyone end up buying the Astell and Kern AK UW100 btw? I liked the idea of a TWS fully focused on SQ but also with a great app were you could customize both Ambient and the controls.
In the end not as excited to have these as I wanted to be. Nothing too easy to pinpoint but it came down to musical immersion and the width of the soundstage. for $200 AUD and all of the advertisements about its very wide soundstage, I would have wanted to feel more surrounded by the music. Not taking this into account though they are very good at separation and have monstrous bass without ever hurting mids or highs.
high's missed a bit of sparkle to them as well which stopped sibilance and harshness but made music a little less magical. I think a lot of people would really like them, I just have some brands that do a better job and don't need these.
My daily is the JBL Live Pro 2. Very lively bass, but they EQ very well if that’s not your jam. ANC is awfully good and the ambient doesn’t sound metallic. The case really limits the tip rolling but I found some short stemmed Spinfits that are really doing the job for me. The battery life has been fantastic, it feels like I’m never having to charge them. DHRME says all this much better than I do. They are really becoming my go-to reviewers
Last thing - on Amazon, JBL has a lot of models on sale for some reason this weekend. The $149 Live Pro 2’s are going for $75, which is less than the $100 I paid. This is Bonkers Bang for Buck.
About DHRME: Really? Despite finding them somewhat amusing and their videos can be entertaining to watch, I feel like they constantly have really weird and poor takes about almost... most earbuds. Almost every review I end up disagreeing with several things they talk about.
But yeah, each to their own.
OK, I. All the time in this thread I rarely see JBL products discussed and don't remember seeing the Tune130NC. Did I just miss it?
Anyway at the risk of having my wife having me committed I picked up a pair these up since they were only $75 and holy crap, they do not sound like a $75 TWS or IEM for that matter!
They have huge bass out of the box but the EQ can tame it very well if desired. I am enjoying the hell out how natural they sound and how expansive and holographic the sound stage is. Piano's, Cello's, and guitars sound just amazing. I am also really happy how they produce drum kit sounds.
Jazz from artist like Patricia Barber sound sublime as does sound tracks from Hans Zimmer. Classic rock like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd sound good as well. The song Zombie by Nellie Mckay which has alot of 3D vocals and instruments that wow when they are properly represented are handled very well by this TWS. Anything that can go really deep is sub wooferish that can be felt and yet mids and highs can be present without being overwhelmed.
If a person's main requirement is sound quality these are amazing for $75 and the EQ actually seems very responsive and effective and highly customizable.
The ANC and Ambient are not super effective but quite serviceable.
Battery life is rated at 10 hours with 30 hours in the case which seem very reasonable.
The control scheme for the touch controls is their only real Achilles heel being very much like the Samsung Galaxy buds minus the experimental features. In other words I can have volume and music controls or I can switch one of those for ambient controls but I can't have all of them at once.
