Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 Review

The dual-driver Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 earphones offer a rich sound signature and solid noise cancellation for a reasonable price. Anker’s Soundcore Liberty 4 earphones block distracting sounds and produce pleasing audio via dual dynamic drivers in each earpiece for a reasonable $149.99. They don’t outperform much pricier noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds from Apple and Bose, but they do offer hi-res-capable LDAC codec support, as well as a useful companion app with an adjustable EQ. Jabra's waterproof Elite 7 Active ($179.99) earphones are better suited for the gym, but it's still easy to recommend the Soundcore Liberty 4 to anyone looking for sensibly priced noise cancellation in a wire-free design.Splashy Aesthetics, Complex Drivers The stem-style Liberty 4 earphones are available only in a glossy black finish with gold accents and translucent eartips. The Soundcore logo appears subtly on the unexpectedly compact earpieces (surprising given the dual dynamic drivers they house). They fit securely and ship with four pairs of semi-transparent silicone eartips in small, medium (two), and large sizes. ...

The best noise-canceling headphones of 2023: Sony, Bowers & Wilkins, and more

On paper, it’s getting really hard to compare a product like the new $150 Soundcore Liberty 4 to earbuds like the $249 AirPods Pro and still declare Apple’s buds the winner. The same can be said of Sony’s $280 WF-1000XM4 for that matter. Soundcore has put in nearly every feature you could ask for: noise cancellation, transparency, wireless charging, Bluetooth multipoint, a high-res Bluetooth codec (LDAC), good battery life, and a companion app with tons of personalization options. And if that isn’t enough, these earbuds also have spatial audio with optional head-tracking, plus built-in sensors for monitoring your heart rate. And they’re still $100 less than Apple’s flagship buds, and $130 less than Sony’s. All of this makes the Liberty 4 an unbeatable value from a pure features point of view, which means the only question left is this: How do they perform? For the most part, the answer to that question is very well indeed. For the Liberty 4, Soundcore has kept what has worked in the pa...

Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC Review

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC true wireless earphones deliver on multiple fronts, with a rich sound signature, impressive noise cancellation, and a standout companion app for a reasonable price. The $99.99 Soundcore Liberty 4 NC noise-cancelling true wireless earphones are a well-rounded addition to Anker's affordable lineup. They offer excellent active noise cancellation (ANC) for the price, produce robust bass depth, and pair with an excellent companion app that includes an 8-band EQ. Android users even get support for the high-end LDAC codec and Google's Fast Pair connection feature. We would have preferred a more weatherproof build, but that doesn't hold these earbuds back from unseating Anker's Soundcore Space A40 ($99.99) as our Editors' Choice winner for true wireless noise cancellation under $100.Good Connectivity and Battery Life Available in Black, Cosmic Blue (deep blue), Earth Blue (light blue), Pink, or White, the stem-style Liberty 4 NC earphones look decently stylish. They ship with four pairs of silicone eartips (XS, S, M, and L) and feel snug in the ear. Internal 11mm dynamic drivers produce a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. They support Bluetooth 5.3 a...
