Thank you all for watching! I appreciate you! ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES: Can $99 earbuds compete with those that cost $250, $300, or even $400? Well the new Soundcore Liberty 4 NC have arrived and aim to do just that. When I saw that the spec sheet checked nearly every box on my “perfect earbuds” list, I had to check them out. These have LDAC, an incredible battery life, multipoint connectivity, and unlike their predecessor the regular Liberty 4’s, these have powerful ANC which should resolve one of the biggest problems with those buds. So let’s get into it FEATURES Google fastpair Fit test Battery = 8/40 hrs with ANC Extremely customizable touch controls Safe volume limiter Wind reduction Extra low latency gaming mode Auto play/pause Mono mode with Bluetooth 5.3 Sound leak compensation Multipoint connectivity Find device (jut plays a sound) Select auto power off period DESIGN Fit = I am picky and these stayed in my ears well Besides ab workout Colors = 5 different options Physical button is a drawback, but has a light which looks cool and is more secure for drops Wireless charging = ? Comfort = 4 different tip sizes, very very comfortable for me. I barely notice them in my ears Water resistance = IPX4 MIC TEST ANC Adaptive ANC 2.0 Claimed 98.5% sound reduction (but ears sort of work on a log scale) Design includes a noise isolating chamber - not sure how unique this is but ok Wind noise reduction option SOUND CODECS = LDAC 11mm driver Lots of sound settings including 3d surround sound, HearID custom EQ, actual custom EQ, and tons of presets It takes 10s to switch to LDAC Very warm and bassy Bass can be big and deep but generally more boomy and not that tight or puchy. I personally do not like the default Soundcore Signature EQ at all. Muddy and vocals are downed out Bass is sort of mushy Highs seem to lack detail Instrument separation is weak I won’t talk about the EQ too much because there are so many EQ options to customize. But I will talk about the general struggle to find a good eq Kind of tough to EQ to a good place I tried the intelligent test. I could hear every beep so that was useless and then the end result was not actually a great EQ Overall I am not really impressed by the sound quality here Definitely not natural or articulate These would be decent for workouts when I am ok with a big muddy bass. Not my favorite sounding buds, but if you love the features and specs and are not a big person, you can get used to this sound and thoroughly enjoy these earbuds As far as a spec sheet is concerned, these check all the boxes for any pair of earbuds in 2023. Pros: Great ANC great features multipoint connectivity great customization in a nice app CONS: Sound Case has a physical button Overall I am sure anyone who buys these would be quite happy with them. So if you want the best earbuds at the best price but do not care about sound, these are the perfect pair for you. If you care a lot about sound, check out Sennheiser’s budget buds.
