soundcore by Anker Liberty 4 NC Adaptive Noise Cancelling Earbuds, 98.5% Noise Reduction to Ears and Environment, Hi-Res Sound, 50H Battery, Wireless Charging, Bluetooth 5.3

I’ve been using the Liberty 4 NC for a while now, and they’ve quickly become my go to earbuds. The fit is comfortable even during long commutes and the adaptive noise cancelling really does a great job of blocking out background sounds on buses and in the office. I like that the sound is punchy with strong bass, but the app lets me tweak the EQ so I can balance it for podcasts or softer music. Battery life is excellent I can get through a full week of work without worrying, and wireless charging makes it easy to keep them topped up. The multipoint connection is a lifesaver when switching between my laptop and phone and transparency mode feels natural when I need to stay aware of my surroundings. The build feels solid, and even though the case is a little bulky, it adds durability and houses the impressive battery capacity. Calls come through clearly, and the Bluetooth 5.3 connection has been stable with no dropouts. I also appreciate the quick-charge feature, which gives me hours of playback from just a short charge. Overall, they deliver a premium experience without the premium price. They may not be the best choice for heavy workouts since they’re only splash resistant, but for commuting, office use and travel, they’ve been reliable, powerful and surprisingly versatile. They feel like a smart investment if you want strong ANC, customizable sound and long battery life without overspending.

The boxing, packaging, and delivery were really impressive, it felt premium right from the start. After using it, I can honestly say I would recommend it to anyone looking for quality earbuds. Compared to AirPods 2, the Liberty 4NC is a much better choice in terms of both performance and value. The sound quality is clear, the noise cancellation works really well, and the overall design feels comfortable for long use. What makes it even better is the price, far more affordable than AirPods. So even if you accidentally lose them, you won’t feel as bad, unlike with more expensive options. Overall, it’s a great balance of quality and affordability, and I’m really happy with the purchase.

Sound: 4.5/5 I listen primarily to Christian songs (alternative-pop), and Rock to Metal genres, which have a lot of heavy electric guitars and double pedal drums. So this review is limited. Strong and decent bass. It could be cleaner, but for the price, I couldn't ask for more Good and clear mids Highs are ok. It could be a bit cleaner. If you increase the EQ, it will produce a sharp-piercing sound. But it's not terrible. Overall, the sound is really good, especially considering the price. I have AirPods Pro 1, and I would prefer this over that for sound because of the fuller sound. AirPods Pro 1 however, wins in terms of cleaner highs, clear (but lacking) bass, and wider sound stage. Fit 4/5 It's bigger than the AirPods and not as snug to my ears. ANC 3/5 It has decent ANC but lacks, especially it does not block out mid-high frequencies well. For example, as I type this, I have a fan beside me. I can still hear it with this earbuds when there's no music, but Airpods Pro 1 completely eliminate that. Much for the 2nd generation. But hey, at this price point, Anker is giving us much more ANC than what we paid for. Quality 3.5/5 Feels better than average, but definitely not on the premium feel league Time will only tell about it's longevity Battery 5/5 Gives you more juice than AirPods Pro 1 in both the earbuds and the charging case. Couldn't ask for more. Charging case 3.5/5 Case is quite big, but still feels in my pocket. I love the light, though. P.S. When I bought this, Liberty 4 Pro is out, but based on the review, there's no improvement in the sound. And that's the primary reason why I'm buying this. Liberty 5 is also on the way, but based on the reviews, Liberty 4 NC sounds better. So I saved my money and got this.

The sound quality is top-notch, which is the most important thing when it comes to an earbud review. I've included the rest of the awesome stuff below, but I wanted to highlight a small drawback that takes nothing from the overall experience but should be highlighted: the case size. It's huge; it fits in my pocket but is way bigger than I expected. Now for the awesome stuff again: 1- Sound quality and noise cancelling are great, with various EQ options and a customized HearID profile, which is done based on a test and your hearing preferences. 2- The fit is great. I didn't try running or exercising while wearing them, but while working, they always stay in place, Also, they have various tips for different ear shapes. 3- Battery life is ridiculously great. I barely recharge the,m and they're always full. 4- Seamless 2 device connection: I connect it to my Android phone and my Apple Macbook, and it automatically switches between both, whichever is playing sound. 5- The App, where you can change absolutely anything. It is so advanced and so user-friendly that I customised what each side touch gesture does. 6- Maybe people don't care about this but you can completely turn-off the ANC, you also have transparent and voice mode, but I really love turning it off sometimes, it's more comfortable to me than transparent mode when I'm not playing anything (in the app it's called "Norma" mode). Things to note: 1-I turned off the Auto Play/Pause, Sound leak compensation, and 3D surround sound as they all, while high tech they didn't work well to me, specially the 3D sound felt like echoey sometimes. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-end earbud.

Sound was Good

These are really very good! I had the 40i's before changing to these and there's a massive improvement in the noise cancelling. I usually walk a few miles through traffic, and other town noises, and with these I can barely hear anything now! Far superior to the 40i's and also they have a much riser sound as well, more bass but not too heavy, and as always with this brand battery life is excellent and the fit perfectly too 👍 highly recommended.

Great sound, very comfortable, buds straight out of case fit my ears nicely (mine tend to smaller-regular size), stay in ears well, nice looking and great price point. Other side silicone ear fittings come with set with standard size doesn't fit purchaser.

Ich war lange auf der Suche nach Bluetooth-Kopfhörern, die bei der Geräuschunterdrückung (ANC) und der Klangqualität mit den teuren Top-Modellen von Sony oder Bose mithalten können, aber nicht gleich mein Konto sprengen. Mit den soundcore Liberty 4 NC habe ich sie gefunden. Warum die Liberty 4 NC für mich die vollen 5 Sterne verdienen: Geräuschunterdrückung, die sprachlos macht: Das adaptive Noise Cancelling ist schlichtweg phänomenal und der Hauptgrund für meine Begeisterung. Im Zug zur Arbeit, im lauten Fitnessstudio oder im trubeligen Café schalte ich das ANC ein, und die Welt um mich herum wird augenblicklich still. Tieffrequenter Lärm wie das Rattern der Bahn oder das Brummen von Klimaanlagen verschwindet fast vollständig. Die beworbenen 98,5% Lärmreduzierung fühlen sich in der Praxis verdammt nah an der Realität an. Brillanter, anpassbarer Hi-Res-Sound: Klanglich sind die Liberty 4 NC eine absolute Wucht. Schon in der Werkseinstellung ist der Sound sehr dynamisch, mit kräftigen, aber präzisen Bässen und klaren Höhen. Das wahre Potenzial entfaltet sich aber erst mit der soundcore App: Mit der HearID-Analyse (ein Hörtest, der den Klang auf das eigene Gehör anpasst) und dem vollwertigen Equalizer kann man den Sound perfekt auf die eigenen Vorlieben abstimmen. Dank LDAC-Unterstützung ist der Klang mit meinem Android-Handy extrem detailreich und hochauflösend. Akkulaufzeit für die Ewigkeit: Die Akkulaufzeit ist schlichtweg gigantisch. Ich nutze die Kopfhörer täglich mehrere Stunden und muss das Ladecase vielleicht alle ein bis zwei Wochen mal aufladen. Die Sorge, plötzlich mit leeren Akkus dazustehen, existiert praktisch nicht mehr. Die versprochenen 50 Stunden Gesamtwiedergabe sind keine Übertreibung. Hervorragender Tragekomfort und Top-App: Dank der vielen mitgelieferten Aufsätze in verschiedenen Größen und Formen findet jeder den perfekten, bequemen Sitz, der auch für die passive Geräuschisolierung wichtig ist. Die App-Anbindung ist, wie von Anker gewohnt, erstklassig und bietet unzählige Einstellungsmöglichkeiten für Steuerung, ANC und Klang. Features wie die Multipoint-Verbindung zum gleichzeitigen Koppeln mit Laptop und Handy runden das Premium-Gefühl ab. Fazit: Die soundcore Liberty 4 NC bieten ein Gesamtpaket, das in dieser Preisklasse bisher undenkbar war. Sie liefern bei den drei wichtigsten Disziplinen – ANC, Klang und Akkulaufzeit – eine Leistung auf absolutem Flaggschiff-Niveau zu einem Bruchteil des Preises.

After testing the product out for a couple of days, I am in love. These fit comfortably in the ear, although they may slip out when it gets a bit dirty or when you bend down. The earbuds however have very strong magnets and won't fall out when falling. The case is a bit chunky, but I did not mind as it still fits in my pocket. I love the opening mechanism of the case, it's fun to fidget with. Moving on to the sound quality, I was surprised at how good it was. The hear ID equalizer makes a great difference, and the sound is very adjustable to your liking. The call quality is definitely an improvement from my previous earbuds, and I can easily talk in windy weather and noisy environments for the recipient to understand me. What was a deal breaker to me was the noise canceling function during wind, as I live in a pretty windy area. You have to turn on the wind canceling on, but only once. You can barely hear the wind. I've heard complaints about the transparency mode, which I agree is not so great but also not needed to be honest. Extra details include: - audio automatically stops when you take off one ear, which takes a bit like 3 seconds - battery is amazing, I used it for a day and it has only gone down by 10% - noise canceling amazing, can't hear surrounding conversations around me when audio turned on - touch function is a bit sensitive, and double/triple tapping is a bit inconvenient as it often does not pick up as separate commands. Overall, great quality for the price but some functionality is a minor inconvenience which i can get over for this price.

I decided to buy these True Wireless earbuds as a replacement to my Airpods Pro that I accidentally left my in my home country before flying back to North America. I absolutely love ANKER products, but coming from an Airpods Pro, I didn't expect much from this product when I first bought it. so my review here will mostly be related to quality of life usage and not so much on the audio aspect Battery Life: Absolutely fantastic, over 4-5 hours of straight use before you get that beeping low battery that indicates you only have 15-20 minutes left. Then you would only have to recharge them in a case for 15-20 minutes before you can use them again for another 1-2 hours. so the claim they're making on this product is very legit Charging case: I've never fully drained the battery of the charging case as I consistently charge them every night but it doesn't take that long to fully charge the case either. maybe 1-2 hours max? Case durability: i've dropped these bad boys a couple times before on multiple hard surfaces over the last 7 months and they seem to be holding up really well with no scratches or permanent damage Case size: coming from an airpods pro, these look significantly bulkier (1.5 times bigger) but rest assured they are still very pocketable. Touch control: the touch control on this thing is easy to use, very easy to get used to and very reliable even when you have wet hands. the tap and/or hold function on these earbuds can be tweaked on the app settings. Eartips/Earbuds: the one thing i dont like about this product is the provided eartips adhesiveness to the earbuds. for reference, i use the smallest eartip in the box. they are standard eartips but they do get easily detached from the earbuds and sometimes they stick in your ears when you try to remove your earbuds. please keep in mind that i come from airpods pro where the eartips suction to the earbuds are very top notch when installed and is almost impossible to be accidentally detached from the earbud. Noise canceling: let's just say that if an Airpods Pro cancel out 99% of the noise from a very chatty and loud environment (like a gym during peak hours), then this product cancels out maybe 94-95%. it works really well to block out most of the noise in a loud environment, but you can still hear minor inaudible noise in the background whereas the sony WF1000XM5 or Airpods Pro completely shuts out the noise. Ambient sound: this works pretty well most of the time for a $129 headphones for you to activate to speak to someone without taking off your earbuds. Media/Audio pause when removing earbuds: this earbud has the same feature as most high end earbuds where if you remove one earbuds while watching or listening to something, it will automatically pause the media currently being playing before hit play again on the other earbuds. however, they are not as efficient as high end Sony or Apple NC earbuds. what I mean by this is that an Airpods Pro would immediately detect that you've removed one earbud and would automatically pause the media, where as the Anker Liberty 4 NC would have a 3-4 second latency delay before it notices that you've removed one earbud.still an amazing feature for the price tag. waterproof: I tried once or twice to shower with these on just to see if they would hold up and they did really well with no issue whatsoever. but i don't recommend not to shower with these on all the time. your disgusting ears also needs to be cleaned on a daily basis Audio Quality: I am just a regular peasant who enjoys listening to audiobook and music while working out, I am not going to pretend here to tell you the mids are good, the low and highs are good when i dont even know what that all really means in the first place. all i know is that the bass is decent and i've never had to complain about song i've listened to not being punchy enough because of these earbuds. you will never have that problem as long as you're not audiophile (most of us aren't) Sound Core app: i dont know how to use an equalizer but the presets they have is good enough for me to tune up my earbuds based on what i'm currently listening to Overall: giving this product an absolute 5 stars for the Price/Value for money. definitely get it if you're looking a for an affordable noise canceling earbuds. if anything, ANKER also has 18 months of warranty
