soundcore Liberty 4 Pro by Anker, Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, 7-Sensor and Real-Time Adaptive Noise Cancelling, 2× Faster Charging, Studio-Level Hi-Fi Music, Clear Calls with 6 Mics and AI

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*****

Have been loyal to Jaybirds for over 10 years (x2 and x3 models) but my most recent ones finally gave up and I looked at alternatives. Had never had completely wireless earphones before, the jaybirds connected with a loop behind the neck, and was convenient to hang around the neck while not in use. A friend said their old Anker earphones had seen him thhrough many travels and gym sessions so I started looking at their range, only i tending to get a basic pair, in case I didn’t like them. We have an Anker bluetooth speaker which performs way above its price range and size so the make was bot in question. I opted for the better, more expensive model and am not disappointed. You can adjust the volume by stroking the earphone stalk which also has press-funtions to stop/start music. Surprisingly I haven’t used the noise cancellation function yet as I simply haven’t had to. The fit is so good and sound is so good that I don’t notice ambient sound with the volume up only to a medium level. The fit is secure and comfortable even over long periods. I had always used comply foam tips for comfort but the supplied silicon tips are surprisingly comfy. The earphones don’t move during activity and the fit is a good seal for optimum sound. The sound is fantastic, the Anker eq options really let me get what I want out of these. Great sound for films, amazing clarity and bass for music. The battery life was always an important factor for me as there are times where I would wear my earphones for +5 hours continuously . The battery on these earphones last for ages, not worn them in one go long enough yet to test them properly and the fast charging case tops them up super-quick. The case is larger than some others but nothing that bothered me. Larger size means larger battery for more recharges and has a display showing earphone and case charge levels as well as the noise cancelling level and can also be used as a remote to your phone’s camera. A few other functions all from the case make this bundle a very nice piece of kit. (Not sure what the point of the atmospheric level is) The app has many features and is easily navigated. All in all, I would recommend these to anyone looking for new earphones.
