I've got several pairs of ear buds. My go to pair are Samsung Galaxy Pro 3, and I also owned a pair of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro. After giving the Liberty 3 Pros to my daughter, I felt it was a good enough reason to buy another pair. I did a lot of research (not just a cursory glance on Google), and I was going to buy a pair of Liberty 5, but the majority of reviews stated the the Liberty 4 Pro were better. I think I made the right decision and I definitely wasn't disappointed. The Liberty 3 Pro sound great, but the Liberty 4 Pro take it to another level. On testing, I found that you can actually get the volume up loud enough until you get ringing in your ears (like you could used to in the 80' and 90's), although this is obviously not advisable!To me, they sound much better than the Galaxy Pro Bud 3, and better than the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, with more features. The only criticism is the case. It has a pointless feature on it to adjust the ANC. It's not really a good selling point, and is ignored by myself. They recharge from 0% to 100% in just over 30mins and up to around 45% - 50% (which gives you a good couple of hours of listening) in around 10 mins. I'd ignore any claims made by Anker that they charge quicker than this - I've tested them thoroughly myself. These are an absolute steal at this price, and are the best ear buds I've ever owned. I can't speak for Apple Airpods, as I've never used them, but I can confidently say that these will give any of the top-of-the-range ear buds a run for their money!POSITIVES:Good priceGreat fit (with spare buds in various sizes)SUPERB sound qualityGreat active noise cancellingQuick charging (including a quick 10min top up)Excellent battery life (approximately 5-6hrs if used sensibly without 100% ANC!)A wide range of presets and manual adjustments!So much more....NEGATIVES:Pointless charging case feature (just a gimmick)Case is slightly flimsier and more clumsier than the Soundcore 3 Pro (and Galaxy Pro 3)Can be made to play very loud (or is that a positive?).I did notice that after wearing for 5 hours at work, my ears were a little bit itchy and sore.On the whole 5*****

So I have Soundcore Liberty 4 NC's (x4) and the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pros are better.I have the Soundcore Space One and the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pros are better.I have the Soundcore Space One Pro and the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pros are better.I have the Beats Studio Pros and the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pros are better.I have the Beats Studio 3 (X2) and the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pros are better.I have the Beats Studio 2 (X5) and they are better than the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pros.So my Liberty 4 Pros are the best earphones I have and are only bettered by my trusted Beats Studio 2's.The fit is better than my Liberty 4 NC's as there are many more tips to try. The small tips fit my ears better and create a tighter seal.The case is not a gimmick. I use it to adjust the ANC and transparency of the earphones. And I'll be buying another pair for use with my work laptop and work phone. From the reviews I have seen the call quality is great so my boss will be able to hear me properly.The sound quality is slightly better than my Liberty 4 NC's. It is certainly louder and I have not managed to have them at maximum yet. I use the Acoustic sound setting on my Liberty 4 NC's but I have created a V shaped custom for my Liberty 4 Pros to bring out more of the midrange and vocals to my liking.My test tunes come out as they should on the Liberty 4 Pros. Unravel by Bjork is delivered perfectly with the vocals and bass reproduced perfectly. Resolution of the Godzilla Minus One Soundtrack builds in volume and complexity and reaches a majestic crescendo towards the end. It's Happening Again by Agnes Obel mellifluous and haunting and delivered perfectly. A new (old) test tune of mine is My Heart WIll Go On by Celine Dion in CD quality and LDAC - when she sings 'You're Here' at the 3:25 mark your headphones or sound systems needs to be able to reproduce that so that it cleans the earwax out of you ears - and the Liberty 4 Pros do just that and are almost painful if I play it too loud - no distortion - just Celine at her cheesiest best. Venus As A Boy - bass and vocals balanced and soulful.Soundcore app is brilliant as usual. I wish that they had not moved the Safe Volume deeper into the setting menus as this is a key part of hearing safety but it is still there - just harder to find. All the usual stuff is there with a few original things for the case and atmospheric pressure.Firmware needs updating for the case and the earphones so do that first before setting up your settings.I have got used to pinch and stroke controls on the buds now and they now respond to my touches. Takes a bit of getting used to if you haven't had earphones that operate in this way.The Liberty 4 Pros are an upgrade from the Liberty 4 NC's. I got my Pros in the Black Friday sale for £99.99 - the green set. I'll be getting the white transparent set for work before Black Friday sales expire.Soundcore does it again. The Liberty 4 Pros are the second best set of head or ear phones I own coming second to only my Beats Studio 2's.

Not sure why this is marked as "freq returned" by amazon. I bought 2 of these and they are brilliant.If you buy it whilst on sale (~£100) they are very good value for money.- They need firmware update before first use- Better to use it with soundcore app. I am not a fan when it comes to installing apps for every product i purchase, but this one is actually decent.- Comfortable in my ear with the default case. i use it even in the gym and had no issues.- perfectly ok for calls. (but you might need to charge it midday if you use it continuously)
