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, Bluetooth 5.3

After getting used to the sound in my quality (and reasonably expensive) PC headphones, I wanted something compact to take travelling that could do my favourite music justice and block out the noise when on a plane, in a busy train station, etc. I had a pair of budget earbuds whose sound quality was adequate but nothing to write home about, and a noise cancellation mode that was so ineffective I often had to physically check whether or not it was turned on. Not so with these. The noise cancellation is impressive; white-noise-like sounds like air conditioning, engine noise, rain on windows etc. vanish almost entirely, and intermittent mid-range sounds like people talking become muffled and indistinct like they're happening a few rooms away in a house with thick walls. The clarity of sound when playing music is great too; my music library has a fair range of genres and these earbuds seem to do well across the board in terms of clarity of reproduction. The companion app has a variety of EQ presets to choose from and a simple but serviceable custom EQ builder that lets you save multiple bespoke profiles. There's also the "HearID" feature which gets you to choose your favourite out of various music clips to determine what you like and build a custom EQ. I found this reasonable accurate but there's no way to test it on your own music until you've finished the process so I found a couple of tracks later that revealed something about the HearID profile that I didn't like - but, happily, you can go back in and edit your HearID curve to correct for this. I found the EQ settings to be very effective, which means the right EQ can make things sound fantastic, but also means a bad EQ setting can make things sound terrible - if you listen to a wide range of styles you may want to leave the EQ on flat, or else have a few presets and get used to swapping frequently. There's also the option for 3D surround sound mode, which does broaden the sound stage quite impressively but I found on certain things it can introduce audio artifacts - some vocals pick up a slight edge that makes them sound like someone singing through a tube - these are usually minor but sometimes annoying, but you don't lose much by disabling the 3D mode. When the noise cancellation is running you may notice a very slight white noise, but this is only really detectable when whatever you're listening to is very quiet or has periods of silence, and it's pretty faint. At the other end of the scale, these earbuds can get very loud for those who like it that way - but if you don't, the app has an adjustable volume limiter you can enable to keep it within your comfort levels. All in all, I was very impressed with their performance given the reasonable price point - my old "budget" earbuds were only 25% cheaper than these, and are completely blown away in comparison. A solid buy for anyone looking for quality sound and effective noise cancellation without breaking the bank - and worth noting they seem to be frequently discounted (they were down at £55 when I bought them) so keep an eye out for that.

THESE HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING THIS GOOD!! I paid about £50 for the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. I already own 3 different types of Soundcore earphones and a speaker. I also ownED a pair of Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 earbuds that cost £349 - gave them away for free. The Liberty 4NC and even my Space A40 are better objectively in every way. I expected the Liberty 4 NC to be “good for the price”. Instead, they … good, great even. Full stop. The sound quality is superb, with a very good range of manual EQ settings, and a very good automatic one. Even with my 47-year-old ears, the sound is incredibly detailed without being harsh or tiring. And this is with ANC turned off most of the time...* The bass is tight, vocals are clear, and instruments feel properly separated instead of mashed together. They are the first earbuds I’ve used where music I’ve listened to for years suddenly had little details I’d never noticed before. The Soundcore app deserves credit too. The EQ options, hearing test, and customisation options are far more advanced than what I’ve seen on far more expensive brands. Practical "boring things" that matter: • Dual device connection works properly, it's actually fantastic how smooth the transition is between devices • Transparency mode is actually usable • Fit is comfortable for long listening sessions, and I mean even to sleep with! • Battery life has been excellent so far I’ve used them in airports, on planes, and during a very chaotic travel week, and they were brilliant at providing a bit of calm in the noise. Even with full noise cancelling, the battery lasts a very, very long time. The slightly absurd conclusion I’ve reached is this: These £50 earbuds made my £349 pair of B&W Pi8 feel like a poor value purchase. This is now my sixth Soundcore product, and at this point I honestly struggle to justify buying anything else. If you’re considering them and wondering if they’re “good for the money”, I’d say something slightly different: For the price you pay, vs the brilliant quality you get, there's nothing that can come remotely close. * ABOUT NOISE CANCELLING; I survived several flights with happy little children near me. The NC is so good, when the air crew served meals aka I took them out, I was honestly surprised to hear the plane engines! They truly are great. After the travel weeks they survived with me, I’ve even given them a name: "Aegis Minor", - small shields against noise that protect my sanity. Small but extremely effective.

This is a good product for the price range(bought this while discouted), I bought this because this was cheaper than Nothing Buds Pro 2 which has almost the same specs. Sound quality is good, very loug and 3D sorround sound is not bad but bass is not that good. Also, call quality and mic is below average. As for battery and qurability - this is really good, I dropped duds and the case multiple times on rock kard floor and no damage, literelly dropped in water but worked fine after drying(not recommended to deliberatly use with water as not fully waterproof). Battery life is same as adverticed some days I use this for days without charging. Also, bought this almost 9 months ago and not a single scrach after all those drops and hard use. As for the size - i'd say a little large but only a few millimeteres to not noticable, charge really fast and wireless charging is usefull too. The app is very user friendly and had more options than what I had expected from a earbuds at this rice range. FINAL SAY FOR FUTURE BUYERS - This is the best budget earbuds in the market IF discounted lower than Nothing Buds Pro 2, because Nothing Buds Pro 2 is newer and has more pros than this.

After moving from Apple to Samsung, I had to retire my AirPods (well, my wife took took ownership of them), I was in the market for some new headphones for every day use. I started looking at the top end of the market, around the same price point as AirPods, but a lot of the ones I was looking at had negative reviews for one reason or another. When you are looking north of £150, you only want the 5* treatment. Normally, I start looking cheap and end up in the expensive bracket, however, I did the opposite with these. They appeared in my list, and as they had a decent rating and it was a brand I knew, I took a look. After scanning the reviews, I took the plunge, and since they have arrived, I really have been really impressed with them. They have a nice case (albeit a bit bigger than AirPod case), but the case is also wireless charging compatible. I actually prefer this case overall, as the ear pieces sit in the case magnetically, and the connection can be cleaned if required. The AirPods, you couldnt reach the connectors if they ever needed cleaning, which sometimes made charging intermittent. The sound quality is great. I tend to use these for podcasts, but the music I have had on sounds equally as good. They are comfy in the ear if wearing them for a decent session. They also come with a decent app for the phone, where you customise the audio, change the button presses and change the mode from Standard to Noise Cancelling etc. The only 'complaints' are, the ear tips can turn inside out as you take them out of your ear. The button presses can be a bit intermittent, especially when trying to use the double tap features etc. Sometimes it registers, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes you think a single tap hasnt registered and you end up double tapping etc. I dont use the taps too much, mainly for pausing etc. so this doesnt impact me too much, but if this is something you rely on, you may notice it more than me. Overall, I would definitely recommend these for the price.

Pixel Phone users, please read, especially Pixel 7 series and 7 Pro. These earbuds are fantastic, however I was experiencing fairly regular, brief 2 to 4 second disconnections. I returned two sets due to this. When purchasing a totally different brand and experiencing the same issues, I thought I’d investigate possible phones issues. Google didn’t show anything wrong with the Pixel series, so I decided to use the “search.brave.com” engine and that’s when I found the information, to totally change my experience to exceptional. No more disconnections and just pure fabulousness with Soundcore and have decided to share this with others who may be experiencing similar issues The Pixel 7 Pro experiences widespread Bluetooth audio issues, including audio crackling, random disconnections, and audio sync loss, primarily triggered by system updates like Android 14 and the Android 16 Beta. Users report that earbuds often stop playing audio or cut out shortly after the screen locks, even when the device remains connected. To enable developer options, use youtube and search, “enable developer option pixel android” Key Troubleshooting Fixes: (use settings search to easily find these options) • Disable Hardware Offload: Go to Developer Options > Networking/Bluetooth and toggle Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload to On; this is the most frequently cited fix for crackling and disconnection bugs. • Adjust AVRCP Version: In Developer Options, set Bluetooth AVRCP Version to 1.5 to improve stability with certain earbuds. • Clear Cache: Clear the cache for the Bluetooth Legacy App and Bluetooth App via Settings > Apps > Show System. • Disable LE Audio: Turn off Bluetooth LE Audio in Developer Options if your earbuds do not support it or if it causes instability. • Reset Settings: Perform a Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth in System > Reset Options if basic pairing fails. These issues are often attributed to software bugs in the Tensor chipset optimization or conflicts with third-party apps, requiring manual configuration changes in developer settings rather than a native system fix. After using the last option, “Reset Settings” my pixel watch also got disconnected. To reconnect without resetting and loosing all information, I did this: If the watch does not appear in the Pixel Watch app automatically, follow these steps to reset the connection without losing data on the watch: • On the Watch: Navigate to Settings > System > Transfer Watch. This option allows you to reconnect the watch to a different or previously reset phone. • On the Phone: Open the Pixel Watch app, tap the watch icon in the top left, and follow the on-screen instructions to pair.

Get the app, I’ll explain at the end. My first noise cancellation headphones and I’m happy to say they are affective. Really simple setup. Used straight away with the M size. With secure fit. Look and feel good quality and the case is very smart. *don’t think I’ve seen this mentioned but the open case also makes for a landscape phone stand, which is great for tv watching etc* Arrived charged and a week later I still haven’t needed to plug the case in. The touch control has many options and works well once you’re used to it. Sound quality is the reason I’d dock a star: this is personal, with me listening mainly to podcasts. I find the sound lacking some midrange clarity. It’s what you’re used to, I guess. The sound is absolutely fine and having listened to music to test, the bass is full and probably top end for the price. The Soundcore App takes things up a notch (I already had with a Bluetooth speaker) Not only does it link seamlessly but gives you sound and fit tests. However the live translation it offers is amazing. I tested it with a Spanish work colleague and it was perfect. Not only does it annotate the original but dynamically adjusts the translation to correct structure- then speaks it to you. Also it does this real time and listens to the speaker while taking in the translation delay. Very impressive. Tried with Spanish, Thai and Japanese. As a result, three people have bought these! Wish there was more EQ control for the sound but I can’t not give 5 stars.

I’ve used them daily for two weeks and this is my take. The sound is ok, build quality ok. The companion app ok. The price ok. Why is never buy them again: The battery isn’t great (it doesn’t last a night so if you fall asleep with them in during the night they wake you with this loud battery low warning). The noise cancellation is dire. I’ve tried every combination of settings and it is basically non existent. I’d advise people to save their pennies and buy something better if they want actual noise cancellation features. These are cheap yes. They work as headphones basically but they are not long lasting noise cancellation headphones.

I’ve been using Anker audio products since 2016 and have owned a few different pairs of their earphones over the years, so I’ve seen the brand evolve from simple wired Bluetooth models to their more advanced true-wireless lineup. Comparing my older Anker SoundBuds Surge from 2019 with my latest purchase, the Anker Liberty 4 NC from 2025, I can say the newer pair offers a big jump in features, design and modern convenience — but not a dramatic improvement in actual sound quality. They’re fine, they function well, but considering the hype around them, they could have been better. The SoundBuds Surge were a surprisingly strong pair for their time. They delivered warm, enjoyable sound with a natural tone that worked especially well with acoustic music. The Bluetooth connection was reliable, always pairing instantly, and the comfort was excellent for long sessions or gym use. Even today, in pure listening enjoyment, they still hold up. The Liberty 4 NC, on the other hand, clearly win in terms of features. The case is excellent with its satisfying magnetic click, the indicator lights are helpful, the design feels modern, and the adaptive noise cancelling is genuinely impressive. The ANC cuts out wind, traffic and general background noise very effectively. Add to that wireless charging, longer battery life, multipoint connection and the Soundcore app it’s a much more advanced and convenient product overall. Comfort is good too; they sit well in the ear for me. However, sound quality is ultimately my priority, and this is where the Liberty 4 NC fall short. For a product praised so heavily by YouTubers, reviewers and influencers, the actual sound profile is nowhere near as impressive as the reputation suggests. A lot of that praise feels exaggerated. Anker offers EQ controls, hearing tests and presets, but none of it solves the core issue: the sound just isn’t consistently good. The bass can be boomy, the mids and highs can become muddy, the soundstage feels flat. I tried multiple EQ setups, including the calibration test, but nothing made them consistently satisfying. Every now and then they sound great but those moments are rare. At this price point I’m not expecting perfection, but I am expecting clean, balanced, enjoyable audio by default. And honestly, cheaper earbuds including budget models from brands like JLab in the £15–20 range can sound clearer and more natural than these in some cases. If someone doesn’t care much about sound quality or doesn’t notice audio differences, these earbuds will seem more than fine. But if you value good sound, you might feel underwhelmed.

Ich habe lange mit Kopfhörern bekannterer Marken geliebäugelt und war erschlagen von der Menge an verschiedenen Angeboten, die sich auf dem Papier oft kaum voneinander entscheiden. Lediglich beim Preis gibt es große Unterschiede und ich habe mich gefragt, ob ich wirklich 100€+ ausgeben muss, um Kopfhörer zu bekommen, die mich zufriedenstellen. Um es kurz zu machen: Nein, es muss nicht immer teuer sein! Case: Schlichtes Design trifft auf Funktionalität. Man bekommt die Kopfhörer gut heraus, beim Einlegen sorgt ein Magnet dafür, dass sich alles von alleine in die gewollte Position zieht. Eine Beleuchtung sorgt dafür, dass man auch im Dunkeln nicht lange suchen muss. Das Gehäuse erfüllt zusätzlich Aufgaben zu Konnektivität. Passform: Für mich war es "out of the box" eine durchweg positive Erfahrung. Nichts rutscht oder fühlt sich über die Zeit unangenehm an, auch bei großer Beanspruchung. Ich nutze sie unter anderem bei der Gartenarbeit oder in der Werkstatt beim Arbeiten mit lauten Maschinen. Klang: Selbst würde ich meine Ansprüche an den Klang als eher untergeordnet ansehen. Ich möchte der Situation angepassten Klang genießen können und nicht im Bass "ertrinken". Alles klingt "sauber" und es gibt viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Wichtig ist mir die Möglichkeit zur Geräuschunterdrückung oder Sprache durchzuleiten, falls ich in lauter Umgebung trotzdem Stimmen wahrnehmen möchte. Rundum hat mich das Gesamtkonzept sehr überzeugt. Connectivität: Nach der Enthahme aus der Box, verbinden sich die Kopfhörer blitzschnell mit dem gewünschten Gerät. Dazu muss selbstverständlich vorab eine Kopplung stattfinden, was jedoch problemlos funktioniert. Die Reichweite ist großartig und bisher das Beste Ergebnis, was ich mit Drahtlosen Kopfhörern bisher erreichen konnte. Selbst 2 massive Stahlbetonwände können die Übertragung nicht stoppen. Akkulaufzeit: Mehr aus ausreichend, ich kann mehrere Tage damit arbeiten ohne das Case aufladen zu müssen. Dank der guten Geräuschdämpfung, muss man die Lautstärke auch bei lauten Hintergrundgeräuschen nicht voll aufdrehen, was die Akkulaufzeit weiter schont. Fazit: Bis auf den "Knopf" an den Kopfhörern, der sowohl Sorge als auch Segen ist, von mir eine uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung. Dadurch, dass dieser nicht mechanisch ist, passiert es mir immer mal, dass ich die Kopfhörer betätige, während ich sie aus dem Ohr nehme. In der Regel funktioniert es aber sehr gut und trägt zum "sauberen" Design bei. Wenn man keine 200€ für Kopfhörer ausgeben möchte, aber ein solide verarbeitetes Produkt mit tollen Funktionen erwartet, ist man hier genau richtig! Ärgere dich nicht, indem du Stunden in die Recherche investierst. Für 55€ ein echter Geheimtipp!

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.
