From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Where the hell do you still buy Anker headphones? I'm in germany and holding on to my soundbuds flow because nothing else even comes close to comparison. I get Anker chargers and adapters and cables and whatever but nothing audio related to a point I thought they gave up on the whole branch.
They use the Soundcore branding currently for their audio products but it‘s the same company
Good to know. Might have to check them out then as my older Sonys die. Iirc DankPods "reviewed" some Soundcore headphones as an alternative to Raycons a while back.
Just checked. They are and are all called "Soundcore by Anker so and so"
They are even shipping through Amazon even if bought through Anker/Soundcore website.
If you're looking for a replacement for Soundbuds Flow (i.e. ~€20), you'll be disappointed. For me, Soundbuds Flow were perfect for workouts. Cheap and I didn't care too much about sound quality. Anker rebooted their audio line and focuses on mid-range to high-end products.
Micro center carries soundcore products. Where I bought my current P2-L headphones, couple years back.
I have their Soundcore Space A40, and the battery life is legitimately amazing. The case lasts me a week of heavy usage, and the buds easily go 6-10 hours depending on how heavily I use the ANC. If the buds get low, tossing them into the case charges them back up most of the way in 15-20 minutes.
The ANC isn't perfect, but it's made my recent flights way more tolerable by cutting out most of the noise from the engines while still letting the voice of my seatmate through.
Yeah Soundcore buds and headphones are damn impressive for their price. The Liberty Pro 2s were my first TW earbuds, and I bought them after reading glowing reviews. I still have them as my backup earbuds.
I agree, I have the soundcore life P2s IMO some of the best budget TWS
