The Design
The Honor Earbuds Lite 2 approach is the simplicity of the all plastic design language, it looks simple enough that resembles most of the popular TWS charging cases around the market, but still relatively easy to carry and keep in your pockets. There is one indicator LED in the middle for easy understanding, all you need to do is flip up the case, take the pair of earbuds and you are ready to enjoy it. The earbuds are weighted at 5.5grams each side, with the combination of the charging/carrying case being just about 42 Grams. It comes in 2 colors, Glacier White and Midnight Black
Performance – Battery and Connectivity
The Honor Earbuds Lite 2 will last about 9 hours in my experience for a single charge, with a mix of music, gaming and calls. You can at least recharge back from the charging case for at least 5 to 6 times and off you go on continuing your music or gaming, giving it an average of 29 hours of total usage time during testing. There is no wireless charging support however plugging it over to the power bank or any USB C charger does the job as well.
Connectivity wise, the HONOR Earbuds 2 Lite is connected via Bluetooth 5.2 and it is backwards compatible with the older bluetooth revisions. Just turn on the Bluetooth on your phone and scan, open up the charging case, take out the Earbuds and place it to your ears, and wait for it to be connected. It is simple to operate. The pair of earbuds will detect each other automatically in stereo mode. Besides that, you can download the AI LIFE app from Google or Apple AppStore for more control functionality such as changing the modes or control tapping.
