Evaluation of Anker Soundcore Life P2 Mini
Sound quality… Powerful sound with 10mm driver
The “Soundcore Life P2 Mini” is equipped with a large 10mm driver. It delivers powerful bass.
Sound can be selected from 22 equalizer presets
As we will discuss later, the Soundcore app allows you to select sound from 22 equalizer presets.
Mr. GadgetWith 22 different presets, you can find one that matches the genre of music you are listening to!
Compatible with the feature-rich Soundcore app!
From the Soundcore app, you can customize the 22 equalizers, touch controls, and firmware updates.
Mr. GadgetPersonally, I like the Soundcore app more than the apps of other manufacturers.
The supported codec is normal for this price range.
The supported codecs are SBC and AAC.
Mr. GadgetIt’s pretty normal for this price range.
There are no particular problems when watching videos on YouTube or listening to music.
If you are particular about sound quality, you should buy more expensive earbuds.
Please refer to the table below for the characteristics of each codec.
| Codec | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| SBC | The most standard codec. Basically, all devices support it. Sound quality and latency are standard. |
| AAC | Often used in Apple products. Android 8.0 or later generally supports it. Sound quality and latency are better than SBC. |
| aptX | Mainly adopted by Android. Sound quality and latency are better than SBC and AAC. |
| aptX LL | LL stands for Low Latency. It is even lower latency than aptX. Sound quality is the same as aptX, but latency is less than 0.04 seconds, achieving ultra-low latency. |
| aptX HD | Supports high-resolution equivalent sound quality. Latency is slightly higher than aptX. |
| aptX Adaptive | A codec that stabilizes and lowers the latency of aptX HD. By changing from a fixed bit rate to a variable bit rate, processing has become more stable and low latency has been achieved. |
| LDAC | A high-quality codec developed by Sony. It has the highest sound quality among the ones introduced so far. Android 8.0 or later generally supports it. Latency is higher than SBC. |

Noise Canceling… Not Supported
The “Soundcore Life P2 Mini” does not support noise canceling.
Mr. GadgetGiven the price, it’s not surprising that noise canceling is not supported.
Ambient Sound Mode… Not Supported
Similar to noise canceling, it is not supported.
The earbuds themselves are lightweight
The “Soundcore Life P2 Mini” weighs approximately 4.4g per earbud.
If you may be wearing them for a long time, the weight of the earbuds is an important consideration, but 4.4g is quite light among completely wireless earbuds.
Playback time… So-so
The “Soundcore Life P2 Mini” can play music for a maximum of 8 hours on a full charge.
Also, with the included charging case, you can enjoy up to 32 hours of continuous playback. In addition, a 10-minute charge provides approximately 1 hour of music playback.
The maximum playback time of only the earbuds is so-so at 8 hours.
It should be enough for commuting to school or work, and you probably won’t have any complaints with normal use.
The continuous playback time with the charging case is up to 32 hours, so there should be no particular problems.
Available in a variety of colors!
The colors are off-white, black, navy, pink, and mint green.
Ms. GadgetThe pink and mint green are really cute!
Mr. GadgetI personally think navy is cool too!

Peace of mind as they are made by Anker
Recently, the completely wireless earbud market has grown. Various manufacturers are competing and releasing many products.
As the market for completely wireless earbuds grows, there is an increasing number of unknown Chinese manufacturers releasing products and products without PSE marks being sold, creating a chaotic situation.
In such a situation, being made by the well-known manufacturer Anker is a big reassurance.
Mr. GadgetCompletely wireless earbuds have batteries in them.
I don’t recommend using strange manufacturers you don’t know.
It is also a reassuring point that they come with an 18-month warranty + 6-month extension warranty for members.
Mr. GadgetAnker’s customer support is reliable, which is a good thing.
When an Anker product broke down in the past, it was still within the warranty period, so I was able to exchange it immediately!
Summary
Recommended for those who want to keep the budget down as much as possible and those who want to try completely wireless earbuds for the first time!
Overall, the “Soundcore Life P2 Mini” does not support noise canceling, ambient sound mode, or multi-point connection, but it is well-balanced overall, and Anker is a reliable manufacturer. It is recommended for those who want to try completely wireless earbuds for the first time or those who want affordable earbuds without sacrificing too much performance.
However, if you can afford to spend a little more, you can buy Anker’s completely wireless earbuds that support noise canceling, ambient sound mode, and multi-point connection, so that would be better in my opinion.
Mr. GadgetThe product has a high level of completion, but…
The lack of noise canceling is a pain.
