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 5.3

good sound, good wind cancelling
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 are really very good! I had the 40i’s before changing to these and there’s a massive improvement in the noise cancelling. I usually walk a few miles through traffic, and other town noises, and with these I can barely hear anything now! Far superior to the 40i’s and also they have a much riser sound as well, more bass but not too heavy, and as always with this brand battery life is excellent and the fit perfectly too 👍 highly recommended.

Ich war lange auf der Suche nach Bluetooth-Kopfhörern, die bei der Geräuschunterdrückung (ANC) und der Klangqualität mit den teuren Top-Modellen von Sony oder Bose mithalten können, aber nicht gleich mein Konto sprengen. Mit den soundcore Liberty 4 NC habe ich sie gefunden.Warum die Liberty 4 NC für mich die vollen 5 Sterne verdienen:Geräuschunterdrückung, die sprachlos macht: Das adaptive Noise Cancelling ist schlichtweg phänomenal und der Hauptgrund für meine Begeisterung. Im Zug zur Arbeit, im lauten Fitnessstudio oder im trubeligen Café schalte ich das ANC ein, und die Welt um mich herum wird augenblicklich still. Tieffrequenter Lärm wie das Rattern der Bahn oder das Brummen von Klimaanlagen verschwindet fast vollständig. Die beworbenen 98,5% Lärmreduzierung fühlen sich in der Praxis verdammt nah an der Realität an.Brillanter, anpassbarer Hi-Res-Sound: Klanglich sind die Liberty 4 NC eine absolute Wucht. Schon in der Werkseinstellung ist der Sound sehr dynamisch, mit kräftigen, aber präzisen Bässen und klaren Höhen. Das wahre Potenzial entfaltet sich aber erst mit der soundcore App: Mit der HearID-Analyse (ein Hörtest, der den Klang auf das eigene Gehör anpasst) und dem vollwertigen Equalizer kann man den Sound perfekt auf die eigenen Vorlieben abstimmen. Dank LDAC-Unterstützung ist der Klang mit meinem Android-Handy extrem detailreich und hochauflösend.Akkulaufzeit für die Ewigkeit: Die Akkulaufzeit ist schlichtweg gigantisch. Ich nutze die Kopfhörer täglich mehrere Stunden und muss das Ladecase vielleicht alle ein bis zwei Wochen mal aufladen. Die Sorge, plötzlich mit leeren Akkus dazustehen, existiert praktisch nicht mehr. Die versprochenen 50 Stunden Gesamtwiedergabe sind keine Übertreibung.Hervorragender Tragekomfort und Top-App: Dank der vielen mitgelieferten Aufsätze in verschiedenen Größen und Formen findet jeder den perfekten, bequemen Sitz, der auch für die passive Geräuschisolierung wichtig ist. Die App-Anbindung ist, wie von Anker gewohnt, erstklassig und bietet unzählige Einstellungsmöglichkeiten für Steuerung, ANC und Klang. Features wie die Multipoint-Verbindung zum gleichzeitigen Koppeln mit Laptop und Handy runden das Premium-Gefühl ab.Fazit:Die soundcore Liberty 4 NC bieten ein Gesamtpaket, das in dieser Preisklasse bisher undenkbar war. Sie liefern bei den drei wichtigsten Disziplinen – ANC, Klang und Akkulaufzeit – eine Leistung auf absolutem Flaggschiff-Niveau zu einem Bruchteil des Preises.

The boxing, packaging, and delivery were really impressive, it felt premium right from the start.After using it, I can honestly say I would recommend it to anyone looking for quality earbuds. Compared to AirPods 2, the Liberty 4NC is a much better choice in terms of both performance and value. The sound quality is clear, the noise cancellation works really well, and the overall design feels comfortable for long use.What makes it even better is the price, far more affordable than AirPods. So even if you accidentally lose them, you won’t feel as bad, unlike with more expensive options.Overall, it’s a great balance of quality and affordability, and I’m really happy with the purchase.
