Soundcore by Anker Liberty 4 NC Wireless Earbuds, 98.5% Noise Reduction, Adaptive Noise Cancelling to Ears and Environment, Hi-Res Sound, 50H Battery, Wireless Charging, Bluetooth 5.3ClimatePartner certifiedCarbon Neutral Certified by SCS Global Services

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 things are absolutely incredible! I’m comparing to the likes of $20-30 earbuds I’ve used over the years though.Battery is unbelievable. I’ll use them on and off for weeks hours a day and nearly never have to charge the base. I’ve had these for almost 2 years and have only charged like 3 times and use them a couple hours a week.Range is also better than almost anything I’ve ever used. The bass is good although won’t hit hard enough for bass junkies. But over like 60hz it hits every nite loud and clear. But super low stuff it does just won’t rock your year drums but than again for ear buds like crazy good. I hear notes that no other system home/car (infinity, pioneer, Bose, Sony), headphones have ever shown me clearly.Pass through is very good but takes a few seconds to turn on and off with the touch and hold. The noise canceling works well with everything but wind noise for some reason being one intrusive factor sometimes.Lightweight and comfy enough to wear for a couple hours personally.

Good noise cancellation and bass. But earbuds are never as good as over the ear headphones. I use earbuds for air travel because of its small size when compared to over the ear headphones. Overall, these Soundcore earbuds work well on an airplane to mute most ambient sounds in the cabin. Although not as well as over the head headphones. As for bass, my non noise cancellation 5 year old JBL earbuds has better bass.I still recommend these Soundcore buds, especially for the low price and good (not great) quality and sound. I purchased for $50, reduced from $100. Ask “Rufus” (Amazon Ai) to give you the lowest price for the last 90 days, you will see the trends in pricing. Not worth full price though.

I thought I had great ear buds... Then I got these. My last several pairs have all been JBL, and I was always happy with them. I had models ranging from $79-180 in different styles. I went looking at new buds when my latest pair started skipping and losing connectivity. The color of these caught my eye, the style was very similar to my existing pair, and the reviews were good, so I went for it. I'm an avid music lover with an active lifestyle, so sound, fit, comfort, charging/battery life, and connectivity are all important to me.TRUE NOISE CANCELLING: I popped these in to do the setup, and was floored when I could suddenly no longer hear the TV. At. All. There are 4 sizes of ear tips included, and once you get the right ones, the rest of the world literally fades away. A quick tap on the controls or the app lets outside sound come through, and there is additional wind noise reduction through the app--great for being active outdoors.SERIOUS SOUND QUALITY: I thought my JBLs were good, and they are, but these blow the doors off my previous (slightly more expensive) buds. The bass thumps, vocals are clear, and I can hear subtle nuances in my music that I never even noticed with my old ones. The hearing test on the app maximizes the sound based on your personal hearing, which changes with age starting in our teens.FUNCTIONAL, CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS: Controls on each bud can be customized through the app, and they're perfectly responsive without being so sensitive or clumsy that you end up skipping your favorite song or accessing your voice assistant just trying to adjust the buds in your ear.SECURE, COMFORTABLE FIT: These don't have the little flange to keep them in place, which i really appreciated from some of my JBLs, but with the right size tip the fit is comfy and secure. I got through a full weight training workout and 6 mile walk with no fallout and no adjustments. Naturally if you're doing high impact or intensity, ymmv there. So far for me they've been snug and stress-free.ATTRACTIVE: The color is beautiful, the case is cute and compact. The only thing that would be better is if they sold a protective cover for the case just to keep it pristine. Meanwhile the buds drop in easily, and wireless charging is fast and easy. Battery life is more than adequate so far.HIGHLY RECOMMEND: I bought these with my own money and this review isn't incentivised in any way. These are just really awesome ear buds. I already ordered the white ones as a backup, because I never want to be without them. My other buds sound tinny and flat now by comparison. If you're looking for ANC and great sound with a comfortable fit and wireless charging, these are an incredible value and comparable to $300-400 brands that I've tried and then refused to splurge on. I'll never spend that much as long as I can get these. Hope this helps.
