Things to commend soundcore for:
- Device works out of the box without any setup
- Works perfectly on Steam Deck, no issues
- Compact charge-case also houses USB Dongle
- Has more than enough battery life
- App is easy to use
Things they could improve:
- Can't change/turn off lights without pairing with the app
- App only available for mobile compatible platforms (not Windows)
- Case sometimes weird to open, no corners to grip to, no place to pry open, feels like cracking an egg open
- Would love a "Pro" version of these with better sound/more battery life in the earphones
- When using the 2.4GHz dongle, other wireless signals can interrupt the sound, causing them to drop out momentarily. Bringing the dongle closer to the earbud momentarily fixes the connection but would obviously rather it didn't happen in the first place
Overall I really like them as a product, the price point is decent and can find them on sale often. I swap between using them on my phone and on my Steam Deck with the dongle and found myself using them more than my FiiO earphones than I thought I would from sheer convenience.
