Anker SoundCore Life P2 vs Sennheiser CX Sport

The Anker SoundCore Life P2 is a great Earphone for its $49 asking price.

The Sennheiser CX Sport, however, is merely passable at its $121 price point. If you're considering buying a Earphone in the $85 range, you might want to check out some of its competitors.

The Anker SoundCore Life P2 has done great in quite a few roundups from some of the most highly trusted sources available, such as TechGearLab, CNET, and Rtings, which perform high-quality in-depth testing. It got awarded the "Top Notch Call Clarity" title by TechGearLab, "Best budget Anker" by CNET, and "Runner Up for Best Budget Bass Headphones - Truly Wireless Alternative" by Rtings in their respective roundups. Earning that much praise from such respected sources is undoubtedly an impressive accomplishment.

Moving on to the Sennheiser CX Sport: it was unable to reach the very top of any roundups from sources that conduct reliable and unbiased testing. Nonetheless, it still managed to impress reviewers from a number of such sites, like Techradar, What Hi-Fi?, PCmag, Wirecutter (NYTimes), and Reviewed, enough for them to include them on those lists.

We examined all of the review data that we could find and first took a look at sources that reviewed both of them, like Techradar, and found that they haven't shown a preference for either product.

Then we checked which sources liked these two Earphones best and found that the Anker SoundCore Life P2 got its highest, 8, review score from reviewers at Techradar, whereas the Sennheiser CX Sport earned its best score of 9.1 from Gadget Review.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other Earphones on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by Earphones being 7.3 out of 10, whereas the Anker SoundCore Life P2 and Sennheiser CX Sport managed averages of 7.7 and 7.7 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Anker SoundCore Life P2 vs. Sennheiser CX Sport comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
