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

Phenomenal ANC Headphones
I picked these up to compliment my AirPod gen 3s for those times when I needed ANC like when mowing the lawn or in a data center (which are extremely loud with fan noise). I was initially concerned due to some of the issues a few people had but have yet to see any negatives with these.Fit – I find these to be far more comfortable than my AirPods with a snug fit without causing any discomfort for long periodsSound – I’m not an audiophile, but the first thing I did when these arrived was to do multiple comparisons to my AirPods. I found the AirPods had a deeper base and were a “tinge” cleaner sound, but these almost have a “clearer” sound that is not so bass heavy. Realistically even after 5 minutes of going back and forth I couldn’t say which was “better” – and that’s a good thing for those wanting AirPod quality without the price.ANC – these do exactly what I wanted them to. While on the mower I can actually hear what I’m listening to without having to be at max volume. In the data centers I have no issues whatsoever hearing and they do a phenomenal job cutting out the noise. For me this was well worth the purchase.Phone Calls – I ran these through the paces here too. I placed a call to a buddy and ran through talking on the regular handset to AirPods to the Soundcore Liberty 4s asking which is clearer (without saying what I was specifically testing for) and he couldn’t tell the difference between the Soundcores and the AirPods. I also tested these while in the server room – and issue I’ve had many times where people can’t hear me – and so far every call has been clear on both sides, the ANC also cleans up the phone calls.Transparency Mode – I don’t use this often, but when I need it it’s nice that I can go from ANC to Transparency mode just by holding the side down – it takes a few seconds but you hear all the background noise flood in and can easily have a conversation with them in.Side touch – while the side touch to skip / pause / volume / etc can be a bit finicky, I found that it’s more about knowing the specific spot to touch rather than it not reacting. From what I can tell, the spot right below the curve at the top is where the sensor is – knowing this makes it easy to double and triple tap to use those functions.Phone App – this is probably where I would take marks away. It’s not that the app is bad, my biggest gripe is that until you open the case, you can’t see any of the settings for your device – it’ll just sit with a “not connected” message. This means if you want to see how much battery is left you need to open the case to connect. One also cannot see any of the settings without having them connected. One thing I do like is that you can configure the side touch how you want; if you prefer to have pause/play be a double tap you can set that or if you want volume up be a single tap on one earphone you can do that as well. The app has some good things in it, my gripe is that they’re inaccessible until you connect it with the case open.Overall I’m extremely impressed with these earphones, to the point where I would probably suggest someone purchase them over AirPods. In fact, since purchasing these I have yet to use or even CHARGE my AirPods. Speaking of charging, the case also supports wireless charging, something the AirPods charge a premium for. One thing to note – I’m not bashing the Apple product, the AirPods have great functions that these don’t. Features like notification announcements and head tracking. For those looking for a great product and are willing to give up some features, the Soundcore Liberty 4 NCs are well worth the price of admission.

Excellent product, a few tiny drawbacks
I love everything Anker / Soundcore. These headphones are unbeatable at their price point for casual use. Everything these headphones say they can do, they deliver. And nearly everything is customizable through their app. Tap controls, anc, transparency, auto pause, latency, equalizer, all of it. You can even beep your headphones to find them. Batteries are monstrous. Sound quality is the best you’re going to get without switching to full over ears or paying hundreds more.The cons. To ensure they’ve got the sound and features to compete, they’re not crazy lean. They’re by no means as bulky as my old Sony buds that had all the bells and whistles. But if you have ridiculously tiny ears or some cauliflower, you may be better off going with the Life A3i or another model or brand. They’re also not workout headphones, and don’t claim to be, Soundcore literally sells another model specifically for that use. So don’t be upset if you have to adjust them or God forbid one falls out while you’re doing jumping jacks or sprints. If enjoy a specific brand of custom tips- be aware that the connection points on these are not the universal circular shape – they are a bit oblong. Some conventionally shaped tips may still attach despite the anchor point difference – some will not. These headphones do come standard with their own pack of several tips to swap out for a comfortable fit. But if you have really odd ears or are super particular about your fit, you may end up looking for a different model.All that being said, these are without a doubt the best headphones you can get in this price range.

Bought this on discount and was given a previously used set, however the signs of it being used were so slight and minimal it really didn’t matter. It looked practically brand new in box and everything was the way it should have been.As for the product itself, the earphones are great so far (a month later). A nice, full sound with a great bass response compared to cheaper earphones that lack a dynamic range/bass. A real solid pair of earphones for the music lover. The accompanying app is great too. Very detailed and user-friendly.

Habe mittlerweile schon die 2. Kopfhörer gekauft und auch schon 2x verschenkt. Bin top zufrieden . Die Kopfhörer wurden auch von meinem Kollegen im Vergleich zu den Apple AirPods Pro 2 getestet. Fast kein Unterschied in der Leistung. Das NC funktioniert hervorragend und die Klangqualität ist spitze. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Si le premier point était négatif puisque j’avais reçu un exemplaire reconditionné vendu par Soundcore.fr avec protections en plastique ouvertes, alors que j’avais commandé un neuf guère plus cher. J’ai conservé les Liberty 4NC car l’ensemble était en parfait état.Je me dois d’ajouter que je dispose des écouteurs filaires suivants: AKG N40/AKG K3003i/Earsonics S-EM6 V2 et des casques haute-fidélité FOCAL Utopia, STAX SR-009, Audio-Technica ATH-R70X et Sennheiser HD 58X. Ainsi que d’un Sony WH-1000XM4 sans fil.Qualité de fabrication des Liberty 4 NC: très bonne.Application Soundcore: complète et simple à utiliser.Mise en route: très simple et rapide.Touches tactiles: efficaces.Performance audio: moyenne haute (agréablement surpris).Performance Bluetooth: appairage très rapide avec un baladeur Android (FiiO M17), mais seulement après plusieurs essais avec un Shanling M0 et un Hidizs AP-80 Pro.Performance audio avec fichiers flac et codec LDAC: Intérieur: très bonne.Extérieur: très bonne à l’arrêt. Instable et avec coupures du son en mouvement baladeur en poche (bonne si en main)/ très bonne en poche après passage au mode LDAC médian (660 kb/s).Très moyenne avec le codec AAC (appauvrissement de la reproduction musicale).Durée d’utilisation: conforme.Réduction du bruit: après avoir rappelé que celle-ci est également dépendante du niveau d’étanchéité passive obtenu avec les embouts (ce dont je me doutais avant de le démarrer, le test effectué confirmant une très bonne étanchéité de l’écouteur D et une qualité moyenne côté gauche), l’ANC est moyennement efficace (beaucoup moins que celle du Sony WH-1000XM4).En conclusion: de très bons écouteurs sans fil, d’un très bon rapport qualité/prix.
