Soundcore - by Anker Liberty 3 Pro True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds - White

Over the last 6 months I have purchased several true wireless earbuds. These include the AirPods Pros, Jabra Elite 75t's, Sony WF-1000XM4's, and ultimately the Liberty 3 Pros. I immediately fell in love with intimate and warm sound of the Sony's. They have a very "in your head" sound. It's amazing what Sony accomplished with a single dynamic driver. However, they were quite uncomfortable and at the end of they day, buyers remorse set in and I could not justify the $300, 279.99 plus tax, price tag. I loved the way these sounded but just couldn't get past the price. Airpods Pros sounded tinny and rather thin. However they are super comfortable. Honestly the Jabra's sounded like complete garbage. Their frequency response is quite peaky and they lacked detail retrieval. They sounded very U shaped and this was mildly helped with the Jabra App. Now on to the Liberty 3 Pros. I don't consider myself a diehard audiofile, but I do have the HIFIMAN Sundara's and several Sennheisers with a decent dac and amp, so I can at least determine when something sounds good. These have entirely changed my perspective on what TW earbuds can do. I'm running these on android with LDAC and Tidal and they are unbelievable for what they are. There is a LOT more detail coming out of these when running LDAC. It seems to my ears that the balanced armatures really takes advantage of the higer bit rate codec. I dont perceive any drastic difference in the mids and bass response between LDAC and aptx. Detail retrieval in the highend is phenomenal. Since this has a balanced armature as well as a dynamic driver, it is able to deliver a serious amount of bass, moderate amount mids, and rediculous amount of treble presence. Occassionally the BA and dynamic drivers can sound a bit unbalanced on some recordings. These have a profound peak at about 7.5k which can lead to some vocals and symbals sound a bit sibilant, sharp, and a bit unnatural out of the box. I have manually EQ'd these through the app to sound very fun to my ears. Definitely not flat like my Sundaras. There is a slight dip at around 800hz and these need a bit of a push there to get vocals to sound a little more full. The Good -Incredible sound, can sound very bright to those unfamiliar with BA's. Very easy to follow specific instruments. -I swear these have some soundstage, not incredibly wide but the they can get a bit of anterior/posterior presence -Supports LDAC -Very good app with tons of features -Great ANC -Fit great: I use the largest wings and medium tips. They fit somewhat like BOSE Soundsports when using the big wings. Very secure with a solid seal. -Wireless charging -Stable connection, even when running LDAC -Obscenely loud, way more volume than you could ever need. I rarely, if ever, listen to these louder than 50% on my phone. The Bad - The touch controls feels a bit clunky, delayed, and microphonic when compared to the WF-1000XM4's -Battery life when running LDAC and Tidal is not great, well under advertised amount -Ambient mode sounds no where near as good as the AirPods pros and the WF-1000XM4's. Sounds quite artificial. -Quite significant latency, however, I don't play any games on my phone so it is a non-issue for me Got these on sale for $149.99 and they are without a doubt the best TW earbud at this price. All that sponsored YouTube hustle by soundcore was pretty annoying in the beginning. I waited a while until more reviews came in. However, these are the real deal and sound incredible once EQ'd.

I've tested hundreds of pairs of earbuds. These have Sony-level noise cancelling, easy to use app, all the functions you'd need on the earbuds without taking your phone out, customizeable touch buttons & very comfortable once you find the wings/tips that work for you. Best of all, got these for 50% through Bestbuy. Still would've paid the regular price for this value! Only cons i could think of: wish the battery life was longer on the case itself, connectivity lacks every now & then with LDAC turned on, & i hqvent found the HearID super useful when it comes to making my own sound setting.

Let me start by saying WOW! Seriously impressed with these. I have a collection of in ear headphones and these are my go to, and its only been a few days. The unboxing experience is fantastic with these. You are presented with mulitiple choices on ear wings and tips. The headphones themselves have a premium look to them as well. I listen to all types of music and have been satisfied with all genres. Bass levels are insanely good and i find it balanced (not to much or too little bass). From R&B to Heavy Metal to Frank Sinatra, these make them all sound incredible. Pairs easy with the app on my Galaxy S22 Ultra. Noise cancelling is in my opinion, on point. Of course the key to any noise canceling in ear headphone, is having a peefect fit. I have had them on for about 3 hours (max so far) and they are comfortable and have not come out during yard work. I use Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music if your wondering. I haven't run the battery down yet, but find the battery to be on par with what i expected. Got them on sale and had some rewards cash, so I think i stole them! Highly recommended and so far couldn't be happier!
