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

Let me start out by saying that this is a very solid/compelling product in this price range. The Liberty 4 NC's do a lot of things well for it's price point. The Noise Cancelling for it's time was among the best(better than the Earfun Air Pro 4 in my experience) in class, the sound quality is decent out of the box(they offer EQ via the app if you want to tune it), battery life is superb(I can use it for hours in a single session), and the build quality is decent. I believe for it's price segment (varies throughout, but I'll pick the price point of say $60-70), it's a very strong contender and you can't go wrong with this product for the right price. However, I do have 2 qualms.. one of them is specific to me though so your mileage may vary: First, the fitting.. the shape of the earpiece does not fit my ear too well, I do not have large ears per-se, but I use the largest ear tips in order to get a better seal. Not only do I have issues with getting a proper seal in my ear canal, but they also don't seat well in my ear, as they tend to fall out more easily. I don't seem to have this issue with some other earbuds(like the Earfun Air Pro 4), but I do have this issue with the Liberty 4 NC's. I will say that it's not necessarily a deal breaker though, just an annoyance, something to watch out for as it depends on your ears. Second qualm is the mic performance is just mediocre, though it is adequate for it's price class. I don't use transparency mode very often, but they seem to work ok. I'm glad that these have a transparency mode at least. --- I also wanted to note, as I alluded to earlier, that I have both the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC and the Earfun Air Pro 4's. In my opinion, other than the fitting issue(these don't seat well in my ear, and the eartips struggle a bit to get a good seal.. perhaps due to the angle of the shape of the earbuds), the Liberty 4 NC's are a notch better as a product compared to the EAP4's, especially when it comes to Noise Cancelling. I have tested both of these in a noisy cafe, and the Liberty 4 NC's noise cancelling is noticeably superior to the Earfun Air Pro 4's. So depending on your priorities, I'd still say overall, I prefer the Liberty 4 NC's.

I've gone through several pairs of cheap and mid-price ear buds (< $100). Three I like are the earfun pro 3, 1more comfobuds pro, and now the Anker Liberty 4NC. Overall the Ankers win hands down. I think they have the best sound and by far the best wind resistance. After you load up their app and connect to the buds it gives you a hearing test to give a base level of response, then gives a bunch of A-B comparisons to a piece of music asking which one you prefer as it tweaks the response curve. I think the end result is great, but I'm no audiophile and am 65, so take that for what it is worth. The other two are good, too (I rate the 1more buds above the earfun's, but I like them all). I got the 1mores first, and if I were only going by sound quality I'd have stopped there (glad I didn't, but I didn't know that at the time!). I usually listen to them when I ride my bike on a local rails-to-trails path. The downfall of the 1mores is that there is a lot of wind noise that comes through. Noise cancelling overall is good, but not for wind. So I saw the earfuns on sale, so tried them. Much better wind noise reduction, but still more than I'd like. Finally I saw these and bought a pair on their launch. As I mentioned above the sound is great, and the wind noise reduction is very, very good. I hear a little from time to time, but most of the time I feel the wind on my face but can only hear it if I am really looking for it. They have a lot of modes you can set it too, but the one that works the best for me against wind is manual mode, maximum (level 5) noise cancelling with wind reduction on. They remember their settings no problem after you take them out of their case. The earfuns seemed to turn off sometimes (go back to non-cancelling mode). The worst thing about that in the earfun case is that in order to connect to the buds with their app you MUST have an internet connection. This was a problem on my last flight as you might imagine. The 1mores were great on the flight -- and no issues about connecting to the app in flight. It was a transatlantic flight and they ran out of juice so I switched to the earfuns for a while so they could get enough charge back into them. With the 1mores the engine noise and other extraneous airplane sounds were almost gone and I enjoyed my music. I have not flown with the Anker's yet. Hopefully they will do as well as the 1more's there (but I'll have the 1more's along just in case!). Supposedly the battery lasts longer in the Anker's, but only ride for about 3 hours at a time so I have not tested that. One final GREAT thing about the Ankers vs the others I've tried is that you can disable the on-bud controls. I always have my phone on my bike, so if I need to change modes I can do so. Since I found settings I like I don't need to anyway.... In the app you can select what every combination of taps does individually. And every combination has a do nothing setting. You'll still get a beep if you trigger the setting while inserting or wiggling the bud around, but it has no effect. Just what I want. If I want to skip a song my phone is right there, usually with the app up that is playing said songs. Sometimes I start hearing wind, and that just means the buds have slipped a bit. A quick twist or wiggle and the wind is gone. They've never fallen out, but I'm riding a recumbent so I'm just sitting in a lawn chair while I pedal. I use these only for listening to music. My wife called me when I was out while using the earfuns and she said I sounded fine. I have not used these so far to talk on the phone while I ride so I cannot speak to that.

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.

Amazing in many aspects, would not surprise me if they were best in class (at least at the sales price point of 55€ I got them at), with a few small areas of improvement. These earphones have long battery life - even with ANC on-, sit perfectly in my ears - fine for most sports and even to hear an podcast to sleep-, and they have a good audio profile for in ears, with lots of detail. Areas of improvement: * at least with mine, the battery level of the case behaves highly problematic. It stays at >= 40% for a long time, and then drastically drops. Since the in ears themselfes hold so much charge, and that level still is enough to charge them up this has not been problematic for me, but so far that issue has remained. I was hoping it'd fix itself after 1-2 cycles, but at best it's gotten slightly better. Perhaps I'll ask for support on that. * the ANC is okay. Nothing to write a poem about, though in fairness, it also doesn't have any of the pressure feeling that ANC sometimes has. It reduces most environment noise, but it's still present. Wind noise suppression doesn't always work, seemingly depending on the angle of the wind. * the app takes long to load (or rather it takes some time until you can interact with the settings) when you open it, which makes it a bit annoying if you want to change settings you can't with the built in controls. * wear detection operates a bit slow * the case is satisfying to play with, and fits well in my - male - pockets. However the button to open it is difficult to operatewithout blocking the lid from opening - since it's right next to each other. You can open the case without the button, though it's not designed for that, but that's what I usually do instead of finangling my thumb to have the right angle * I list this as a separate point, though it is connected to the previous. The upper lid is rather large, which makes it more annoying to work with that case when it's open, compared with competitors. Although, this might also allow for the easy insertion of the in-ears into the case, so I guess it's a trade off.

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.
