The verdict

Anker packs in plenty of premium features into its cheap true wireless earbuds. Listeners benefit from aptX support, and extreme durability proven by the IPX7 rating. The buttons place a lot of pressure on the outer ear, which can be painful. If you’re willing to forgo using the onboard controls, you’ll enjoy the high-value P2 earphones. Otherwise, go with one of Anker’s touch control earphones.
