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

This is the Soundcore Liberty 4 wireless earbuds from Anker.These are my first impressions, so not 'in-depth'. Unboxing was good, very neatly laid out. Nice box, nice earphone container. Installed the app on my new Pixel 8 Pro, and when selecting LDAC was told to upgrade the headphone firmware. This all went smoothly.The result was a surprisingly good-sounding set of earphones: especially once you get an excellent fit. My first impression was of sibilance, but a tweek on the soundcore app frequency response soon got rid of that without turning off the high-hats. At my age, I've probably lost the top end anyway!I have to say that I'm dredging up the tracks (mainly in flac) from a Raspberry Pi NAS over my phone's wifi. They are playing into my ears via LDAC at 96k and 32 bits (you can see this in developer options on the Pixel).The only comparison I have are an old pair of Sennheiser HD580 precision open-back headphones. I'd say the Sennheisers have lower extension, simply by the size of their drivers, but these Liberty 4's are pretty good, particularly if you get the fit right (I ended up with the smaller earcups). Good separation, pleasing thump to the bass, accurate mids and rolled-off highs, as set up by myself.Very pleased with the sound and the comfort, and the bluetooth range is all around the house.

I have had three pairs of these headphones as the first two had split stems and water had got in. I had the first set replaced under warranty without realising the problem. The second set had the same issue and on inspection I found a slight crack in the stem. I took the view that it must have been my fault and so I did not claim under the warranty. Instead I bought another set from Anker refurbished and will be ultra careful with them as they are amazing headphones for the money. I bought the Beats Pro which are super robust and stay in place. However, the sound on the Liberty 4s are so good that I had to risk a third pair. The fit is amazing too and I can run in them with no issue as they stay put very well. These are the best earbuds I have owned. Just handle with love!

I'm a bit of a headphone junky and have many pairs of headphones and earbudsOne of the things that attracted me to these was the hearing test/custom EQ feature in the appI'm in my 50s and my hearing isn't very good anymore, and this feature has made a HUGE difference to the listening experience I have with these earbudsThey're also light, comfortable, and I got a good deal on them (think they were under £100 when I bought them)The ANC isn't all that good, but I think that's mostly because the buds themselves don't provide as much ambient isolation as say a pair of over ear headphones can manage - I'm sure 3rd party foam tips would help in this respectBut the ANC is adequate - I use these on train and tube and they block out a good amount of noise and mean I can still listen at comfortable volume levelsIf you're in the market for this kind of thing, and can get a deal on them, I'd say to go for it (I don't think they're worth the RRP though)

My Anker Liberty 4 earbuds sound impressive with their rich sound, all-day comfort, and a feature-packed app. The inclusion of a heart rate monitor is a unique touch, providing comprehensive health insights. The long battery life and clear call quality add to their appeal, making them a solid choice, especially given the value for money compared to AirPods Pro 2. Overall, it seems like a great investment!

Seriously thes has exceeded my expectations. They not super loud but they produce excellent sound quality. The amount of adjustments, presets and personalization it fenomenal. They sit great in my ears but thats more presonal thing. Had a chance to compare those with Liberty 4 NC and this are way superior. You can buy this without looking elswere, reading additional reviews and Im sure you'll be happy !

Superbly rich sounds. Great spatial option & good ANC. Used the App fitting process to get a comfortable fit and excellent ANC seal. Soundcore App is easy to use and provides many options to achieve the sound you want. Couldn’t be happier with these earbuds.
