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 (Renewed)

I picked these up to compliment my AirPod gen 3s for those times when I needed ANC like when mowing the lawn or in a data center (which are extremely loud with fan noise). I was initially concerned due to some of the issues a few people had but have yet to see any negatives with these.Fit - I find these to be far more comfortable than my AirPods with a snug fit without causing any discomfort for long periodsSound - I’m not an audiophile, but the first thing I did when these arrived was to do multiple comparisons to my AirPods. I found the AirPods had a deeper base and were a “tinge” cleaner sound, but these almost have a “clearer” sound that is not so bass heavy. Realistically even after 5 minutes of going back and forth I couldn’t say which was “better” - and that’s a good thing for those wanting AirPod quality without the price.ANC - these do exactly what I wanted them to. While on the mower I can actually hear what I’m listening to without having to be at max volume. In the data centers I have no issues whatsoever hearing and they do a phenomenal job cutting out the noise. For me this was well worth the purchase.Phone Calls - I ran these through the paces here too. I placed a call to a buddy and ran through talking on the regular handset to AirPods to the Soundcore Liberty 4s asking which is clearer (without saying what I was specifically testing for) and he couldn’t tell the difference between the Soundcores and the AirPods. I also tested these while in the server room - and issue I’ve had many times where people can’t hear me - and so far every call has been clear on both sides, the ANC also cleans up the phone calls.Transparency Mode - I don’t use this often, but when I need it it’s nice that I can go from ANC to Transparency mode just by holding the side down - it takes a few seconds but you hear all the background noise flood in and can easily have a conversation with them in.Side touch - while the side touch to skip / pause / volume / etc can be a bit finicky, I found that it’s more about knowing the specific spot to touch rather than it not reacting. From what I can tell, the spot right below the curve at the top is where the sensor is - knowing this makes it easy to double and triple tap to use those functions.Phone App - this is probably where I would take marks away. It’s not that the app is bad, my biggest gripe is that until you open the case, you can’t see any of the settings for your device - it’ll just sit with a “not connected” message. This means if you want to see how much battery is left you need to open the case to connect. One also cannot see any of the settings without having them connected. One thing I do like is that you can configure the side touch how you want; if you prefer to have pause/play be a double tap you can set that or if you want volume up be a single tap on one earphone you can do that as well. The app has some good things in it, my gripe is that they’re inaccessible until you connect it with the case open.Overall I’m extremely impressed with these earphones, to the point where I would probably suggest someone purchase them over AirPods. In fact, since purchasing these I have yet to use or even CHARGE my AirPods. Speaking of charging, the case also supports wireless charging, something the AirPods charge a premium for. One thing to note - I’m not bashing the Apple product, the AirPods have great functions that these don’t. Features like notification announcements and head tracking. For those looking for a great product and are willing to give up some features, the Soundcore Liberty 4 NCs are well worth the price of admission.

After using the Anker Liberty 4 NC Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds for a month, here's a quick overview:Pros:Easy to Use and Stylish Design: The earbuds are user-friendly with a sleek design.Customizable Sound: You can tweak the sound using the app, and there are different ear tips for a comfy fit.Great Value for Money: Priced at $100, they offer good bang for your buck.Connects to Multiple Devices: Handy if you switch between devices often.Decent iPhone Call Quality: Call quality on iPhone is better than Bose but not as good as AirPods Pro.Cons:Manual Bluetooth Connection: Need to connect manually to your iPhone every time, unlike Airpods.Noise Cancellation is Okay: It's not top-notch like Bose (which costs more), but for $100, it does a good job.In summary, the Anker Liberty 4 NC earbuds are a solid choice, especially for the price. They've been serving me well for the past month, despite a few minor quirks.

I love everything Anker / Soundcore. These headphones are unbeatable at their price point for casual use. Everything these headphones say they can do, they deliver. And nearly everything is customizable through their app. Tap controls, anc, transparency, auto pause, latency, equalizer, all of it. You can even beep your headphones to find them. Batteries are monstrous. Sound quality is the best you're going to get without switching to full over ears or paying hundreds more.The cons. To ensure they've got the sound and features to compete, they're not crazy lean. They're by no means as bulky as my old Sony buds that had all the bells and whistles. But if you have ridiculously tiny ears or some cauliflower, you may be better off going with the Life A3i or another model or brand. They're also not workout headphones, and don't claim to be, Soundcore literally sells another model specifically for that use. So don't be upset if you have to adjust them or God forbid one falls out while you're doing jumping jacks or sprints.If enjoy a specific brand of custom tips- be aware that the connection points on these are not the universal circular shape - they are a bit oblong. Some conventionally shaped tips may still attach despite the anchor point difference - some will not. These headphones do come standard with their own pack of several tips to swap out for a comfortable fit. But if you have really odd ears or are super particular about your fit, you may end up looking for a different model.All that being said, these are without a doubt the best headphones you can get in this price range.

These have great sound, the noise cancelling works very well and they hold their charge well. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I spent a lot of time looking for a pair of Bluetooth earbuds to replace the Jabra Elite 65t that I somehow lost. These Anker Soundcore earbuds came up the most online as being recommended and fit the price range I was looking for.I ended up being pretty underwhelmed in many aspects after receiving them and expected more.Pros:Connection stability is good.Case and earbud design is sleek.Multi device pairing works well.Active noise cancelling feature worked well.Cons:Sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, even after messing with the EQFit isn't great. Always felt like they were about to fall out.The silicone buds aren't easy to get on and off of the device.Touch controls are very sensitive.I ended up returning them as they were unsuitable for both casual listening and working out. I bought a pair of Galaxy Buds FE and while they don't have the simultaneous multi device pairing feature, the sound quality and fit are far superior.
