About soundcore by Anker Liberty 4 NC Wireless Earbuds
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
93% appreciated the additional features but, 7% expressed dissatisfaction
I compared the sound quality of these earbuds with my previous ones and these earbuds blow the doors off my old ones. 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 Liberty 4 NC's ear detection feature was the tipping point for me to choose it over EarFun Air Pro 3.
The earbuds work great with transparency and noise cancellation features that do the job well.
The battery life is excellent. I can go almost a full day without needing a recharge. The quick charge feature is also a lifesaver when I'm in a pinch.

The battery life is great. I only need to charge it when it has been a while since the last charge.
90% appreciated the comfort and fit, although, 10% disliked
The earbuds fit me better than the Sonys, which had more bulk outside the ear and tended to fall out.
The fit of these earbuds is secure and comfortable even after a full weight training workout and 6-mile walk with no fallout or adjustments. I also appreciate the lack of a flange to keep them in place, which I really liked from some of my previous JBLs.
Once I found the right size tip, the earbuds are fairly comfortable and stay in my ears.
The earbuds are remarkably comfortable and can be worn for hours without any discomfort, which I struggled with using other brands.

90% found it easy to connect, while 10% encountered issues
When I put the earbuds in during the setup process, I could no longer hear the TV, indicating good connectivity.
I found that the multi-device connectivity feature of these earbuds was initially a pro, but if I leave my desk with my phone, the earbuds disconnect from my computer and do not continue playing content from my phone, even when I double check that I am still connected to my phone. I had to unpair from the computer completely for the audio to start again on my phone, even though it has been in my pocket the whole time.
I gave the product four stars due to a dual connection issue.
I noticed that there will be brief milliseconds when the connection is lost and its very noticeable and can happen repeatedly.

92% were satisfied with the controls, although 8% found them confusing
To operate the controls, lightly tap the device and learn the tapping sequence from the manual.
I like the app of this headphone as it allows me to adjust the intensity of noise cancelling when turned on, my control options, and it allows me to adjust the equalizer as much as I want.
I am frustrated with the tap-based controls on the earbuds. They result in unintended pauses and impacts on what I am listening to, as well as slow reaction times and multiple clicks. Additionally, the battery life updates popping up on my screen are distracting.
92% liked the durability, yet 8% experienced wear and tear
I have ordered the white ones as a backup because I never want to be without them, indicating that I find the earbuds to be durable and reliable.
The case feels quality but at the same time so light it feels kinda cheap.
I am dissatisfied with the design of the case, especially the lack of hard edges or ridges to grip and the smooth texture that makes it difficult to hold or open without dropping, especially during winter with dry skin.
I find the ear insert poorly designed as it tends to pop out of the ear and get lodged inside.
94% liked the noise level
Once I set the noise cancellation to the highest setting, the world goes radio silent around me and I can focus on my audiobook or Spotify playlist.
I compared the noise cancelling of this earbud with that of in-ear earbuds and found it to be similar.
I can let outside sound come through with a quick tap on the controls or the app. Also, the app has wind noise reduction which is great for being active outdoors.
94% liked the sound quality, however 6% expressed dissatisfaction
The sound quality is spectacular with rich, balanced and incredible depth. Jabra couldn't match it.
At full charge, the sound quality is good, but it may get muffled as the battery drains and starts to break up as it gets close to the low battery warning.
The sound quality is very good, although slightly lower than the Buds 2 Pros.
I find the earbuds not loud enough, which is a big issue for me.
