Soundcore by Anker Liberty 4 NC Wireless Earbuds

I have to block out irritating typing noise in an office environment at least 8 hours a day. These earbuds pair effortlessly with my Samsung phone, sound awesome, fit comfortably in my ears, have very good noise cancellation and a battery that lasts me all day. I've never had that embarrassing unexpected unpairing like the cheaper earbuds, leaving everyone hearing my choice in music over the phone's speaker. Make sure you download the app to configure before use. The only negative aspect I can think of is occasionally the soft ear cover will detach from the earbud or turn inside out, a minor inconvenience. A great value for the price.

Been using these for 2.5 years now. I use them daily at home connected to a laptop and when I travel to listen to my media on my Kindle fire. I also use them for calls when travelling as well. I have had no issues, the battery life is still decent and you pop a bud in the case and it charges back up pretty quickly. The noise cancelling is very good on planes, really quiets down the drone of a plane. I would not hesitate to buy them again if I needed new ear buds. They connect reliably, I often listen to my computer with only 1 ear bud when at home, that works fine too. These are great value for the quality.

Were it not for noise reduction I would have rated a solid 5 star for sound quality. Very impressive at all ranges with excellent base, mid-range and very good high end crisp treble. I've had other brands of earbuds and these exceed those in quality of sound. I've used and have several Anker brand electronic products and have ALWAYS found them to be of exceptional quality and these earbuds are no exception. They come with a nice charging case and 4 sets of ear bud tips covers which offer a good range of sizes so the buds will fit securely in your ear. And this is critical for not only optimum sound quality, but for what noise reduction they do provide - more on that later. Be sure to download the excellent Soundcore app to your phone so you can customize the features to your taste and to achieve max performance. There is even a cool test you can run with the app to test the fit of the earbuds so you can change the rubber tips to fit your ear. And it works great. I played with it a bit and every time I did not have the correct piece or I pulled the bud out slightly, the test came out negative. There are some other settings and features provided by the app including equalizer settings (I didn't end up using this feature since I didn't think it improved the sound over standard setting), and on the noise reduction, what type of noise you are trying to filter, etc. Really an excellent app so I suggest using it. The set up is minimal and the buds pair quickly with Bluetooth. I'm also quite impressed with the battery life as it is in line with that as advertised. And of course it charge with any USB C charger and comes with a USB C cable, which most of us have a zillion of by now lying around anyway. But with regard to noise reduction, I am disappointed. Perhaps this is a expectation issue but what I was expecting was when I placed the buds in my ear with NC activated, all sounds would be eliminated or at minimum reduced to virtually nothing. This is not the case or at least my experience. In various tests around the house and outside, I always heard about the same amount of noise as I would have with just earbuds in the ear muffling out sounds as they would since they are jammed in the ear canal like ear plugs. And of course I tested this with NC on and off to determine any difference and there was minimal. Driving in the car with no music playing, there was minimal difference but with music playing there for some reason seemed to be an improvement in sound with NC on vs off. So perhaps they work best when playing music and are really not intended to block out sounds with no sound other than the "white noise" the buds produce sans music?? Not sure. And I highly doubt these Anker's do a lesser job than any other earbud brand. Anyway, they do sound great playing music in the car. The real test will be in a month when I take a long international flight. If they can block out even half the engine noise I'll be a happy listener! I imagine headphone NC would work better for obvious reasons, but I simply don't have the room to carry yet another bulky item on board in my briefcase, so earbuds are my only option. For the money, I'm happy with them overall.

My house is where earbuds go to die. For years, I've been going through a bunch of different pairs... I've had Sony, Beats, Samsung, Skull Candy, Raycon, and more. I've dropped $200 earbuds in the toilet and in drinks; I've stepped on and crushed them; I've lost some of them. Each time, I end up getting some different set to replace the old ones, because I'm never quite 100% satisfied with any of them. My favorite pair of earbuds USED TO BE the Sony WF-1000XM4. They had the best noise canceling I've experienced thus far. The fit was pretty good. Then, one day, I got an update alert. I applied the update, and immediately noticed a remarkable decrease in battery life. They weren't brand new, but they still had excellent battery life. Using 1 at a time for a constant audio feed, I was using them for 6-8 hours easily before having to switch to the other. After the update, each earbud was dying withing 1-2 hours maximum. I've since sworn off Sony products. This pair - the Liberty 4 NC - has excellent noise canceling. Although I still feel the Sony WF-1000XM4 had better NC, it wasn't by much, and not enough to be worth the significant price difference at all. One complaint I have is that the Transparency Mode isn't adjustable, and it can tend to have a faint electronic feel to it... It can be as if you're holding a seashell to your ear, sort of. The Sony pair allowed adjustment so that you could eliminate that exact type of nuisance. I really like Anker's sidekick app for these earbuds. It seems to work very well; after pairing the buds with my Samsung phone, I opened the app and they popped right up. The app allows you to easily change from Transparency Mode to Noise Canceling to "Normal." It also allows you to customize the touch controls on each bud, which is extremely nice, and a rare feature. You can change the function of a single press, a double press, a triple press, and a long press. And as stated, this can be changed for each of the earbuds, whether or not they are both paired simultaneously. After running through one pair of these Liberty NC 4s, I tried a pair of Raycon Everyday Pro buds, which is the set featuring active noise cancellation. I was not at all thrilled with their noise cancellation, and I hated that they do not even have a sidekick app. None of the controls are adjustable or customizable. While considering a replacement for the Raycons (once one of them was broken in a random accident), I very quickly landed back on Anker Liberty 4 NC. I caught them on sale, and it was almost a no-brainer to purchase the add-on protection, as I consider it well-worth replacing these ones should they become the victims of some other accident. I found out after the fact that within the Soundcore app, there is an option to purchase Soundcore Care for a price comparable to Amazon's Asurion plan. However, I did not compare the terms; I only read the fine print on the plan I decided to purchase.

I've had these earbuds for around 5 months now and I think I can give them a pretty solid review. The earbuds have a great battery life, I only need to charge the case around once per week max and that's with hours of daily wear. I've even fallen asleep with them in (more often than not) and when I wake up, they still have a good amount of battery left. Now for those of us who are unfortunate enough to have small ears, these may not be for us. My ears are small, not crazy small but small enough for most earbuds to be too large and cause uncomfortable pressure. These earbuds stay in either really well or I'm having to adjust them constantly. I'm not sure why this is the case but it is. However, the number of times I've fallen asleep in them, I don't typically wake up with them missing. I do feel that these are a bit heavy because they really FEEL like they're there. My ears get fatigued from them after a few hours. In terms of the bluetooth and multipoint connectivity, this is where they lose some stars. At first, they were great and I was thrilled to finally have a pair of earbuds with multipoint, however this was short lived. Sometimes they connect flawlessly, other time not at all. They will take several times to connect to just my phone, or if they do connect to my phone without issue, they have problems connecting to my computer. If you own any bluetooth products by Bose, you'll know that their multipoint connection works pretty seamlessly (in my experience) and your phone audio isn't automatically prioritized over your computer. The same cannot be said for these earbuds. If I have a video actively playing on my computer, and I happen to open an app on my phone, they'll automatically start playing whatever is on my phone. Additionally, I've had issues with the sound cutting out on my computer when I send a text from my phone without any sound on. In general, the multipoint works as it should around 60% of the time. There's also the occasional issue where they will take several tries to connect to my phone which can be very aggravating. My final thoughts are as follows: these are really good for the price! The sound quality is great, they're pretty noise cancelling, and the app makes them customizable. Their shortcomings are not in the functionality as earbuds but in what they're advertising as multipoint connection. If you're like me and have small ears, these may not be the most comfortable for you. But if you only really want them to listen to things on your phone or computer (one at a time) and you have normal sized ears, I think you'd really like these!

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.

UPDATE: these are not worth the headache. I had my first pair for 9 months. Then the right earbud failed. Wouldn't charge and wouldn't sync. None of the trouble-shooting tips worked because nothing in the app works unless both earbuds are connected, so you can't update firmware or anything else. Soundcore Customer Service is a pain. It's all AI-run and gives incorrect information. Under warranty, I was told they would send a "brand new" replacement to me but I had to send in my defective pair to them first. When I got the replacement, it was clearly refurbished. When I asked them about this, the response was essentially, "Oops our AI lied to you." The refurbished item worked but had a static hum that the original earbuds did not, so I contacted support again, and they agreed to send out a new pair as was originally promised. So after several weeks of annoying back and forth, I finally got a new replacement. I've only owned them for 4 months this time, and ONCE AGAIN the right earbud has failed on me. This is clearly a design flaw. I'm done with Soundcore after this experience. ******************** Original review: I owned these for 9 months. For the price, I thought they were great--at first. Sound quality was good. Call quality was good. Noise canceling was good but not great. Fit was good, but they would slide out over time and need re-seated in my ears, especially if i was working out or sweating. Then 9 months into owning them, the right earbud just stopped working. I tried all the recommended troubleshooting methods. Basically, the right earbud was no longer recognized by the case, so there was nothing I could do to fix it (resets, firmware updates, etc. all require both buds be in the case, and since it stopped recognizing the right bud, it basically bricked the entire product.). I reached out to customer service, providing all the info. They promised to send a replacement product, but said it would need to be a different color because the color I had was out of stock. This should have been my first hint since Amazon and Soundcore Direct both showed all colors in stock. I specifically asked if the replacement was a refurbished item, and they guaranteed that it was a "brand new item." I said okay and told them to proceed with sending the replacement. Two days later, they told me they could not proceed with sending the replacement until I sent in my defective earbuds and they were received and processed by their facility in Canada. They estimated that would take 5-9 days from the time I mailed them before they could even mail the replacements. This seemed like an unnecessary delay to me, considering they had not mentioned that requirement in the beginning AND I knew I could get brand new earbuds from Amazon with same day shipping. However, I was obviously not going to pay full price again for a product that only lasted 9 months (half of the 18 month warranty period). I complied and put the earbuds in the mail, but also told them it seemed like an unnecessary delay. They then told me they would expedite the process and send the replacement out immediately (3 days after they originally told me they were sending them), so I told told them I appreciated it. I got the replacements several days later and was extremely disappointed to discover they were clearly refurbished. They had a cosmetic flaw, but more importantly, when i went to pair them, they had all of the previous owners devices still listed in connection history AND they were named "Paul's Liberty 4 NC" (spoiler alert: my name is not Paul). I reached back out with my disappointment and ample evidence they were refurbished earbuds, and the response was that their policy was to handle warranty claims with refurbished products for any items more than 3 months past purchase date. REMEMBER! I specifically asked if the replacements were refurbished and they promised they were brand new. I contacted them again regarding this blatant lie and they apologize that their customer service AI gave me wrong information..... This was a ridiculous process and i wasted more than a week going back and forth with their faulty AI customer service, only to end up dissatisfied with the outcome and distrustful of buying any Anker or Soundcore products in the future.

**Title: Game-Changer for Earbuds!** I have to admit, I’m not usually a fan of earbuds. Many I've tried have been uncomfortable, fall out easily during physical activity, and often leave my ears feeling itchy. They just felt cheap and low-quality. Then I discovered the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds. Initially, I wasn't thrilled about shopping for earbuds, but as a college student, I needed something that would let me listen to lectures while also enjoying music. I wanted the flexibility to have one earbud in for music while still being able to focus on class. Using traditional headphones felt too obvious, and having one dangling earbud just looked silly. Knowing my past frustrations, I knew I needed a reliable option. As a loyal Soundcore customer—having already owned their headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and charging banks—I turned to their earbuds. I trust Soundcore for their quality and great value compared to competitors. After some research, I chose the Liberty series, renowned for its high-end features. Let me tell you, these earbuds have transformed my experience! All the issues I had with previous earbuds have been resolved. They’re incredibly comfortable, so I don’t have to keep readjusting them. They stay securely in place, whether I’m walking, turning my head, or even doing jumping jacks—no worries about them falling out. The sound quality is outstanding. Like other Soundcore products, these earbuds sync with the Soundcore app, where you can customize your EQ settings. If you're into personalizing your audio, you can even take a hearing test in the app. The AI creates a tailored listening experience based on your preferences. I tried it, and my music has never sounded better—crystal-clear highs, deep lows, and punchy bass. In class, I appreciate being able to wear just one earbud and still hear the lecture. If I want to immerse myself completely, I can pop in both and use the transparency mode to stay aware of my surroundings. At home, they’re perfect for blocking out distractions while I work on assignments, thanks to the active noise canceling feature. While I still prefer headphones for certain situations, these earbuds have become a staple for me. Some days, I enjoy the weight of headphones; other days, I appreciate the freedom of just having my ears occupied. Overall, I highly recommend the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds. I’d buy them again without hesitation!

Very effective ANC and amazing battery life, it can be a bit slippery and loose if you’re working out though out of the box you may need to adjust the tips

Avec ces Anker Liberty 4 NC, Soundcore a encore frappé ! La qualité de ces écouteurs intra-auriculaires est stupéfiante. Ils sont tellement bons qu'ils remplacent pour moi des Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 qui m'ont coûté 249€, à comparer aux 70€ demandés par Soundcore... Les Sennheiser prennent maintenant la poussière dans un tiroir, et je ne vois pas vraiment de raison de les en sortir de sitôt. D'accord, je ne suis pas un audiophile à l'oreille absolue. Mais pour un type basic comme moi, le son produit est exceptionnel - d'autant plus que l'application (pour iOS et Android - je l'utilise sur un téléphone sous Android) permet d'adapter le son selon vos goûts et la signature propre à votre audition. L'appli Soundcore vous propose de tester le système auditif de votre oreille droite puis de l'oreille gauche afin d'adapter le son produit de façon unique à chacun de nous. J'ai écouté l'extrait d'un morceau de jazz avant le test, puis le même après, et la différence est saisissante. J'écoute également beaucoup de podcasts, et j'apprécie la clarté des voix, chaque intervenant - quelque soit leurs timbres de voix - peut être entendu et compris parfaitement. Comme leur nom l'indique, ces Anker Liberty 4 NC sont équipés de la technologie de réduction de bruit (NC pour Noise Cancellation). Si vous choisissez les embouts qui vont bien (l'appli a une option qui vous aide à choisir), lorsque vous activez l'option NC - soit depuis l'appli, soit en tapotant directement sur les écouteurs (vous pouvez adapter les fonctions tactiles de chaque écouteurs selon vos préférences dans l'appli), vous êtes coupé(e) du monde à 98% si on en croit Soundcore. Pour moi, ça ne va pas si haut - ce n'est pas au niveau des Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbud qui sont ce qui se fait de mieux aujourd'hui -, mais j'irais sans problème jusqu'à 90%. Compte tenu du prix, c'est exceptionnel. Vous pouvez également arrêter complètement la fonction NC, ou la réduire de 50% pour que vous puissiez entendre suffisamment les bruits extérieurs pour votre sécurité, par exemple. Soundcore annonce une autonomie de 10 heures (50 heures cumulées en tenant compte de la boîte de charge), ça correspond assez bien à mon expérience si la fonction NC n'est pas activée. Comptez plutôt 8h50, si le NC est activé tout le temps. Le boîtier / l'étui de charge (comment ça s'appelle, en fait ?) se charge par USB-C en environ 1h30 de 10% à 90%. Soundcore affirme que si vous placez vos écouteurs dans l'étui pendant 10 minutes, vous augmentez l'autonomie restante de 4 heures. Je confirme, c'est vrai. À condition de charger avec un câble USB-C. Si vous choisissez une charge sans fil, ça ne marche pas aussi bien. Le boîtier à une ouverture originale - ils aiment bien proposer des étuis avec des ouvertures qu'on ne voit chez aucun de leurs concurrents, chez Soundcore. Ceci dit, cet étui est un peu grand, même si je reconnais qu'ils auraient du mal à le faire plus petit compte tenu du design des écouteurs. La connection Bluetooth (avec un smartphone récent - 2024 - sur Android) est immédiate. Le son tient bien même au-delà des 10 mètres. Le son des appels téléphoniques est bon des deux côtés dans un environnement moyennement bruyant, NC activé. Dans un environnement très bruyant (construction) et / ou très venteux, la qualité est moins bonne, et des deux côtés les voix semblent plus mécaniques. C'est loin d'être inaudible, mais ça ne fait plus très naturel. Pour conclure, ces écouteurs intra-auriculaires Soundcare Anker Liberty 4 NC sont exceptionnellement bons. Ils se rapprochent de très près des meilleurs (Bose), et dépassent même certains (Sennheiser). À ce prix, vous aurez du mal à trouver mieux. Je recommande donc très chaudement.
