Soundcore by Anker Liberty 4, Noise Cancelling Earbuds, True Wireless Earbuds with ACAA 3.0, Dual Dynamic Drivers for Hi-Res Premium Sound, Spatial Audio with Dual Modes, All-New Heart Rate Sensor

The product arrived on time with both the packaging and the product in perfect condition, I’ve owned a lot of wireless earbuds, especially from Anker so I had an idea of how good they would be, but I wasn’t prepared to experience the almost perfect pair of earbuds I had ever owned! Right out of the box they are very unique and aesthetically pleasing to look at. The connection between the earbuds and the phone was seamless and extremely fast and the multipoint connection is a great feature for those looking to pair with more than one device without having to deal with disconnecting from your already paired device. These earbuds are Qi/wireless charging compatible and have a stemmed design that houses the haptic controls that allow you to skip tracks, pause music and movies, or even change between regular, ANC and ambient modes with ease. There’s an app that allows you to choose between over 20 different EQ modes or you can create your own sound stage with the adjustable EQ in the app! The ANC is a feature that I don’t really use in my earbuds but I do test them to be able to help others with their decisions and they have a great noise canceling system. I do use the ambient mode in order to be able to hear the environment around me and the people I talk to and that’s where these earbuds are one of the very best at, like you’re not even wearing earbuds which brings me to the comfortability of these earbuds. They’re so comfortable in the ear that I had fallen asleep with them in and woke up with no pain or pressure in my ears which is a very difficult thing to do. These are also some of the best earbuds for making and receiving calls. The clarity of the microphones are top notch and the mics are able to give you an excellent listening experience, whether it’s a call or listening to music, everything comes with precise clarity. These are very unique earbuds as they have a dedicated heart rate monitor that’s able to give you very accurate results and you can also get a few more features in the wellness portion of the app. For the extremely low price point these earbuds are on par with most of the higher end earbuds like the AirPods Pro, Samsung , etc. I give theseDesign/aesthetics an amazing 10/10Durability is a great 10/10Portability a solid 10/10Sound quality and mic quality a perfect 10/10Comfortably 10/10Quality/features for the value is a perfect 10/10And my overall experience and quality of this product is an astonishing 10/10I would definitely recommend ten times over these earbuds for the price and quality.Everything you could possibly want in a pair of earbuds these deliver without any compromises or cutting corners, while giving the absolute best quality on par with the higher end earbuds on the market today.Thank you for reading this review for those who have taken the time and I assure you that this is my unbiased and personal review of this product!

I have to say I went through several pairs of earbuds the past years giving up on most due to sound, fit battery ease of operation. I had Bose, Apple, beats Jabra Samsung and a few generic. These SoundCore after over a month of everyday use have been impressive. The fit are perfect for me with the standard rubber piece that come already on them. They include other sizes for smaller ears or larger. The are low profile and hug your earlobe. The fit is tight and I have not had one come out at all. They are super comfortable I don’t even know they are in unlike most where your ear starts getting sore. The app help you get the best sound when doing the test where other just have standard settings. I work in a warehouse and only where one at a time and the sound is so good i never have the volume all the way up like others I had too. The battery life is one of the best I have had yet. I lister to morning radio on an app and podcasts or music the rest of my day. I have had up to 9hrs of listening before the voice says battery low.Noise cancellation is really good I used it a few times when I had bothered in and other make it feel like your ears need to pop. Not these it blocks out all the sound and no pressure feeling. I used transparency mode a few times the sound is still good with what you are listening to and you can still hear the background sounds good without having to turn the volume up to hear your music. The one button one the side of the stem was a perfect place to put it. It’s easy to use and custom in the app on what you want it to control. No more tapping or pushing on your ear to change a song or volume. I do recommend these especially if you are like me and had some of these issues with others. It’s worth the try. Really happy with these.

tldr:Anker support is SUPERB. Excellent sound quality, especially lossless. ANC is very good. Transparency is awesome in the wind, but could improve. Heart rate monitor is stupid, it prevents use of aftermarket tips. Tips in the box may not provide a perfect seal, but Anker will send you more sizes if you ask. You NEED a perfect seal for ANC or Transparency to work properly, these are less forgiving than others.Full review:The affordable lossless wireless earbud is here! And it comes with a nice app with greeat features! I love the detail and sparkle the second driver adds, and it especially helps to make a clear difference when listening to lossless audio with LDAC. I have cheaper Soundpeats buds that use LDAC, but the higher quality drivers in these Soundcore Liberty 4 buds actually allow you to hear the difference.Anker/Soundcore support has been exceptional. None of the included eartips made a perfect seal, so my ANC and Transparency modes didn't work well. The ANC was bloating bass and creating extra bass tones, and the transparency's auto-level was always confused. I wrote the seller, AnkerDirect through Amazon. They responded within the day and immediately sent a collection of tips with additional sizes and some made of a softer silicone with more grip. I found I needed the softer/grippier L2, a Large with a slightly longer nozzle for a deeper fit. This transformed the ANC/Transparency into essential features, as they work very well without EQ shift. Furthermore, the perfect seal provided sub-bass I didn't know I was missing.I enjoyed receiving Soundcore's extra tips. Unfortunately, users of aftermarket tips will be disappointed. If you don't use Anker's tips, the right earbud loses pinch controls and wear detection, because the heartrate sensor is tied to these features. I even tried transarent tips, but they didn't work. I sincerely hope that Anker updates the firmware so you can still use the pinch controls without the heartrate sensor. Anker really left out a lot of earbud enthusiasts with this restriction.Unlike my Lypertec Z5, the Liberty 4 ANC is very sensitive when the seal is even a tiny bit loose for a millisecond. So, when you listen to a lot of bass, a loose seal makes the ANC create extra bass tones. It can take a minute of wiggling and twisting before you find that perfect spot, but they stay there once you find it. Soundcore should work on the ANC's sensitivity to a loose seal.I LOVE the Liberty 4's transparency mode with a good seal. They automatically adjust the ambient sound with surprisingly good results. I live in a windy area, and the Liberty 4 cuts the wind noise out while allowing me to hear cars and people around me. When the wind dies down, the details of the ambient world are automatically brought back. As much as I enjoy this auto-leveling, Soundcore should allow us to have a 'manual transparency mode' as well. Sometimes, the auto-level cuts out too much, and you still have to remove the bud to have a conversation, usually when there's something like a loud refrigerator in the background. Also, sometimes it doesn't amplify your surroundings enough to compete with the music, so a manual mode would ensure better safety when the auto-mode falls short.Pinch controls are good, but could be better. The tiny clicky spot is very small and the click can be hard to feel. I would prefer an actual button. I love that I can change the controls, but I wish there was a long-hold option. Currently, you can single, double, or triple click. It works well, but I hope Anker improves this.The app is overall excellent, but I'm not happy with a couple things. I already mentioned I'd like manually adjustable Transparency. Sony does this, so I hope Soundcore improves this through updates. The ANC adjustment wheel is confusing, as it seems there are only three ANC stages. My biggest problem is that Anker wants you to create an account to get full access to heart-tracking features, and you can't turn off the heart tracker without creating this account. So, this thing is constantly recording data I don't want recorded, and I have to give up more data to disable it. Seems pretty slimy, no matter what promises they make. Whether or not this affects your purchase is your personal choice.Finally, SOUND QUALITY!! Really, this is one of the best earbuds I've heard, very close to my expensive over-ear headphones with a premium amp. The LDAC is strong and reliable, I can genuinely hear the difference when I compare Lossless vs 320kbps recordings of the same song. The "tweeter" driver superbly reproduces all the high-end detail without sounding analytical, and it allows the larger driver to provide punchy, accurate bass and midbass. If you don't like treble or "bright" headphones, you may be irritated by these. I recommend you try them and return if you can't get a sound you like.Once I got the proper tips, comfort is exceptional. The shallow fit oval tips provide an excellent seal without fatigue. They won't fall out, and I sometimes forget I'm wearing them. The case feels nice, but is too bulky. I'd gladly give up some case battery life if I could fit this in my jeans coin pocket, like I can do with SoundPeats or Airpods.
