Hey everyone! This was intended to be a short video but I couldn't help but go in depth! There was a lot more to cover than I expected. Iv'e probably missed a few things so let me know in the comments your experience with any of these buds!
Great video, I’ve loved the 4 NC although the ear fit can get sore with my ears and well as the feeling of the anc can get nauseous. I was thinking of going for The X 20s because of the comfort. How much sound quality am I losing compared to the 4 NC?
thank you very much for your time and efforts!!!! ! i'm stilll on L3P and they are really loosing battery power after 2 years of prolongue use - i'm using mone phone regularly for speaking and enjoy music also. The thing is - i'm really addicted to instument separation thing and wide stage. I couldn't find anything like L3P in this area. Yes, I miss the more forward vocal thing, but no sony or even b&o could replace them for me unfortunatly. the only thing i didnt check yet is Techniqs az-80. Thanks for your review, I would surely try L4Pro and see whether they can be a replacement for my lovely model =) if you can comment on what I should else check on with my likings (instrument separation & wide stage), I would be very grateful. Oh, and they say there is some unique Japanese Aviot TE-ZX1 that uses 3 different type drivers that could also give nice separation. didnt try them yet =(
Thank you for highlighting the customisable controls for a single bud being different to when using both. It's actually one of the best things about the 4NC and I'm sure on the 4 Pro too.
Nice detailed comparison & as a owner of a few Soundcore products, it's fair to say any of these options are overall good & worthy of getting. Thanks for the great Picky work💯💪👍
I will say I've had the 4's and 4 NCs and the wearing detection works perfect for me on both! It pauses as soon as I take it out and plays right when I put it in :)
Thanks for the details. The mic on the Liberty 4 Pro sounds great in pretty much any condition, which is my top priority - well, the mic and staying in my ears. I wish they came with wingtips to help hold them in... but I might try them without, initially, to see if they need constant adjustment first.
I'm into IEM now. Currently using Moondrop May. I may not go back to midrange earbuds but I do use budget earbuds when washing my laundry. I'm currently using Baseus Bowie Ma10. Good earbuds for its $25 price.
@@pres3969 a good number of people complained about white noise on their Amazon reviews here in Japan. So it looks like I'll be going for picky's #1 for budget earbuds, the oneplus buds 3.
Nice video. My only criticism is that I think it's hard to do the earbuds justice by not talking about the driver sizes and types when referring to sound quality. The Liberty 3 pro uses a large driver for bass, and a Balanced Armature to deliver really clean highs, which can come off very strong if you're not use to multi-driver earbuds. The Liberty 4 also has a multi-driver setup, but the bass driver is smaller, and the 2nd driver is just an even smaller "regular" driver, and has a weird sound signature unless you eq the last two bands. The Liberty 4NC only uses one large driver in each bud. Good for bass but you really have to eq them to bring up the mids and highs because its one driver... Dynamics are harder. The Liberty 4 Pro is the best by far because they use a bass driver thats larger than the Pro 3, and the second driver is actually a tweeter. Mids sound amazing, and when you eq them you actually get responsive results. I love these wirh a flat EQ but that's just me.
Fair call it does have a small influence on sound. The way they are tuned is the main contributing factor though. There are plenty of single dynamic drivers buds out there e.g. Sennheiser Momentum 4 - one 7mm dynamic driver, Technics AZ80 - one 10mm dynamic driver and both of them can deliver superior treble, sound stage and separation compared to buds with a dual driver set up or balanced armature.
I still Like the Original Liberty 4, For Two reasons - The Oval shaped very soft CloudComform Buds really makes a difference They’re also one of the smallest and minimal among all.
I'll throw my coin in the hat! I've been using L4NC from last September and I think getting that is gonna be the play IF AND ONLY IF your main priority is ANC, battery life and music, in that order(and maybe the latency thing too, which you activate through the app or touch control customization). You can use other reviewers' sound capture to compare this! And if you're thinking what I'm gonna be upgrading to next, I have my eyes on the new Bose QC Buds Gen 2 when it goes on sale, probably next year, cause the battery life on my L4NC is STILL ABSOLUTELY CRAZY GOOD.
Been using for a year. Unlike airpods, this will last for more than 5 years at least due to the huge battery backup it has. Solid choice. ANC close to airpods pro 2 🎖️
Great comparison review! If I hadn't gotten the Earfun Air Pro 4s I probably would have jumped on the Liberty 4 Pros. Luckily those Earfuns are probably some of the best buds I have ever owned. Overall even better than my old XM4s.
Many thanks for the most comprehensive beautifully aticulated and amazingly organised and informative review of the soundcore series relevant function and model, fantastic job mate. Having said that I thought I read somewhere that liberty 4 Pro using Bluetooth 5.3 and Not 5.4 as stated in the review. Thanks again for knocking it out of the park mate, welldone
Man, you are crazy, but in a good way. Thank you! Your reviews are at a different level. Can't recommend using the 4 NC during the ascent of a plane flight, it messed up my hearing for a few days. Lesson learned. HearID works great for me, as my hearing is not too good at it seems to compensate well. Soundcore seems to making more than decent buds these days.
@@MrElerem I could hear loud crackles especially when swallowing for a week or so. It disappeared by itself, since then I use them only after take off and not during the approach.
Just bought the Liberty 4 pro and they do sound fantastic but one major disappointment is performance in a windy setting when playing music … the noise is significant and the cancelling / wind noise reduction does virtually nothing! I hope they do a firmware update 🙏
Hey, so I really like your super detailed videos on wireless earbuds. Will you be making a video on JBL's premium set of earbuds. Specially the JBL Live beam 3. I am deciding on buying them. I really want a detailed review given by you because of the depth you tell things about all the buds. Really love your videos man
Wild. I have the exact opposite issue. Im a head head guy. I dont have small ears. The 3pro are the best fitting most comfortable buds ive ever had. Wanting badly to replace them with an upgrade instead of buying more 3pro .. i was waiting patiently for 4 pro. Stem style again. I have 4nc and they require constant adjustment and refitting. Just walking around the shop is enough ro jostle them out much less any kind of physical activity.
@@Hijynx87 I have comply rips on the way but I hate the idea that I need third party stuff to make them work for me. The 3 pros were wonderful and had so much customization for fit with all the wings and tips. They're rock solid in my ears. I just don't understand the giant push for the stem form factor.
Although I have small ears, I’m small myself. But the 3 pro also holds up great with the sports wings, even my ears don’t hurt after them. When the driver from the oncoming lane overtook and drove into our bus, I didn’t even need to adjust my headphones, they sat clearly and confidently. (No one was hurt)
@@dinglemccringleton you need to buy eartips. its where the magic starts. I recommend you buying the budget one first like Moondrop Sprintips, Tangzu Sancai Eartips, and Zhu Rhytme Ripple Eartips. I have them now and it really changes the sounds of your earbuds. They all have different sound signature that any stocks eartips can't give you.
Thank you I have the 4NCs and imma stick with um. The slide volume I don't want to get used to. 😂 But it means it'll keep the price of the 4NCs down and I want prolly 2more pairs.
Best bass what is best? And best noise cancelation? Thanks

Good evening.. U R the best & most honest tech reviewer I have ever watched... Ur videos R enlightening.. 1 question I have.... What u think better tape or aqueez controls for earbuds?
I think I'll wait for the 4 pros to go on sale. It appears the improvements on them do not justify the price based on the reviews I have seen. Personally I really want them because of the controls and the openness in sound quality. I love the 4 NCs, but the touch controls are not ideal on stem earbuds.
Great video, i do however disagree with the 4 nc being the most comfortable. They constantly fall out of my ears which drives me nuts, even if im stationary. Happens to my wife and my brother, who i bought a pair for when i got mine.
Perfectly timed excellent video. I'm deciding to which to go for. 4 nc it is! Though listening on my Status Between ANC which sound awesome. But anc isn't in the same league as apple airpods pro 2.
Love your videos and comparisons. What would you recommend between the Librety 4 pro, Oneplus Buds 3, and oneplus buds 3 pro for someone who likes bass, loud volume, wants good ANC, and needs to use them for calls?
Personally, prefer long/narrow deep shaft earphones, I own the Liberty 4NC and they're among the poorest comfort I've had so far. They never stay in my ear, slide out gradually no matter what eartip size I use. Though they're great, I cannot comfortably use them.
It seems like Soundcore is getting away from Dot style or stemless style earbuds which isn't good for me because those are the only ones I can wear at work.
Thanks for video I had 4 and 4NC, now I have 3 pro. No matter what anyone says, the whole sound is spoiled by peaks at high frequencies. In 4 terrible large peaks. Don't even try to remove these peaks without damaging the high frequencies - you'll only kill your nerves. I tried with various graphic equalizers, I tried parametric ones: PowerAmp, I used the Squiglink + Wavelet combination, but I couldn’t, no matter what curves I set. I’m really looking forward to when these Ankers are brought to the Russia, judging by their frequency response - they have finally begun to move away from these peaks. Sorry for the mistakes, I used a translator :/
@@RedPillMotivation-u8e Çok az dinleme deneyiminiz varsa, 4ns almak daha iyidir. Tıslıksız, sakin bir sese sahipler, bu yüzden onları dinlerken rahat olacaksınız. 3 pro ses açısından biraz daha iyi olacaktır ancak tıslamaları sizi rahatsız edecektir. Ve genel olarak 4ns daha ucuz olacak
Always had trouble with buds unless they they have a hook to hold onto the ear. I prefer over the ear headphones, my Sony wh1000-xm5 are super comfortable for long sessions.
I have at least one year with the Liberty 4 NC, since december 2023, and now I'm really bored, it's very umcomfortable (I run all weeks 3-4 times per week, in average 1 hour, I have to accommodate them from time to time), the battery of buds and case are draining really fast, and the microphones are getting worse, I'm looking for new earbuds, I'm liking the Oneplus Buds 3, let's see.
Thank you I sqw the 4 pro had some issues but nothing but good reviews for the 4nc I have the liberty 2pro and love them but they won't charge the right headphone any more
For me it will always be the liberty 3 pro. i love their design. I don't know why the Company changed the design to this apple like stick😅 has nobody else the issue with earrings?? My problem is when you walk the sticks will touch the earrings and there will be a click with every step I take?? I hate this and this is why I only wear buds but I never heard some body e se complain about it😅
I received the liberty 4 pro yesterday (Oct 10 2024), I sent it back to Amazon, mainly because they didn't send me the free protection, but I had time to test it After applying the buds and box latest firmware upgrade. There are 2 errors in your video the liberty 4 pro works on Bluetooth 3 not Bluetooth 4, And the spatial mode cannot work with ldac. It's not a loose, becau although I love spacial on some brands, on this one I find it sloppy, adding artificial warmth to the sound, and I was glad to let go on it. I am not a player so I didn't try the gaming mode. This being said, I happen to have good other earbuds. The sound of these ones is slightly better than them, due to an impressive personalized tuning. I must tell you that I am 69 , and my hearing is not the same as when I was a teenager. I also have a slight acouphènes problem that doesn't spoil my life. And my earbuds must cope with that.. I also have another problem: I am allergic to some earbuds. I only had a small times to find out with these, but I notice no start of an allergic reaction. The sound of those earbuds is the best I ever had, but I would say that the next ones are only less than 5% away. For a price almost double that what I paid, The anc is very good, even for the voices. I turned the tv on at a normal level When they was playing music at a normal volume I could not hear the tv any more. With the same program and another pair with anc on, I still could hear the voices a little. I didn't try the charging features. So my impression is that those buds are really very good. But are they worth the over $100 pricetag when my others pairs are more likely to be priced around $50 now. I would say that they are slightly too expensive compared to their competitors. So for sure I will consider buying them again, but only when a promo will arise. If you don't have a good pair of earbuds now and want to have only 1 pair,, you will make no mistake buying those. Otherwise, wait for a better price. If you already have a good
I'm rather disappointed with the 4 Pro, but it's because of the lack of a low latency mode for gaming. Which really sucks as the Liberty 4 NC were legitimately good buds, but my ears are weird and the stock ear tips wouldn't stay in my ear. And 3rd party tips were non existent as the nozzle for them was so shallow and flat compared to regular earbuds. That and the battery life was rather bad, even with LDAC turned off. I went down below 30% with 5 hours of use. (Wasn't even very loud, I was just below half the max volume) It sorta makes up for that with the quick charging in the case though which is surprisingly fast. They're overall great earbuds but the lack of low latency was the deal breaker for me. Hopefully they'll be updated with a dedicated low latency mode as they could support it since the 4 NC could.
This is the exact video im after. Ive always liked the sound of the L3P and the L2P but with the 3's ive found them uncomfortable for long periods of time. I want to know if the 4s sound better, the other features im not too fussed about, but no one has mentioned drivers vs armature yet....
I hate that there are no wings. I can't wear earbuds without wings when I sweat. Will you review the linkbuds fit when they come out? I want those but I refuse to buy earbuds until you review them.
Yaaa rigght.. Soundcore sound quality is up there almost the best. Upgraded from Edifier x3 to Soundcore, Good build quality too. As Soundcore Spirit X2 and X10 user.. Both earhook design stays on ear good. But Spirit X10 was uncomfortable to take off ear and must twist the hook making it fall often while storing it anywhere or back in charger. It was irritatingly annoying. . And lot o wind noise while riding bike. I switched to stem shape buds, first one Tribit flybuds C1. Good sound only at almost full volume. Small soundstage but decent comfortable listening as no distortion. Further upgrade to Cmf Buds pro 2, mutiple features, Spatial audio. Ldac(battery drainer, almost same sounding). Very loud,too much bass if selecting bass boost abovs 2. Very Bad fit in ears with stock tips and have to try hybrid silicon or memory foam tips later. Hey, do a review on good n best eartips, they r most important part of earbuds. Plenty of good sounding budget earbuds in market sub 50 dollars.. and midrange sub 100 dollars price .. But Soundcore has the top sounding buds that competes with higher more expensive branded buds. Am gonna get Liberty 4c, hows the fit? . Good review with highly distinct Aussie accent,, slow down a bit mate.( jus kdn) .., slow when you highlight the main points. I rarely refer to earbuds reviews but saw yur channel, has lots n lots o buds.. Sooo manyyyy.. How you pick yur favourite from sooo many??, well i suggest yu keep diffrent for various occasions.. Travel, bike ride, workout, sleep.,walk, commute train, plane etc etc... You right on earbuds test review champ, keep it upppp.Volummmee of the buds too. List the main points of each earbuds reviewed highlighted in description, Yaaa.!! 😊
Hey picky, I love your videos. Can you please tell me of it makes sense to p40i over liberty 4nc? I need something that's as good as the 4nc in terms of mic quality and noise canceling but at cheaper price so I was looking at p40i. Please help
Is the Liberty Pro 4 Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4? Different reviewers list different Bluetooth technology and Anker doesn't have the definite information on their website.
Hi im confused im comparing the liberty 4 NC , galaxy FE , nothing stick , nothing a what would You go for with best bass and compatibility with iphone under 100usd ,,please help ive heard that liberty 4 nc doesnt support ldac in Iphone ..Many thanks
@@pickyaudio dude thanks for advice they play awesome for this price earbuds the bass is outstanding for earbuds this price and size i cant really complain and be picky and find any minuses ...happy impressed;-)
Can the MultiPoint take over be disabled? The reason I'm asking is that I have a pair of Audio Technica that have similar function but it even applies on Phone notification. If I connect it to my Macbook and Phone at the same time. I'm streaming on my Macbook, a notification on my phone will end up pause the video.
Your first category, comfort is confusing. I bought these because the A40's have served me so well for some time and are a great fit, despite being cheap, and i wanted to step up the sound quality. I'm really confused by the many glowing reviews. These are quite simply the worst fitting buds I've ever used. And I've tried and own many. They just fall out, as i feel they do not have enough reach to fit in the ear-canal. Maybe I have weird ears but the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 for example, that I used to think we're a bad fit, are way better. The cheap SoundCore Space A40's are streets ahead of these. The sleep buds also way better fit. I can go on and on. Even the many cheap sub $50 no name brands are better than these. Yes if i gently push them in they sound amazing. But they just spring out when you let go. Tried all the tips (that are impossible to get back into their tray) and none held. Disappointing
I've just lost my pair of 4NCs. Is he interested to know if there's any improvement to the Google or apple device finding compatibility.i think the 4 pros have introduced a backtrack feature, but no reviewers seem to be mentioning it.

Thanks for video
I had 4 and 4NC, now I have 3 pro.
No matter what anyone says, the whole sound is spoiled by peaks at high frequencies. In 4 terrible large peaks. Don't even try to remove these peaks without damaging the high frequencies - you'll only kill your nerves. I tried with various graphic equalizers, I tried parametric ones: PowerAmp, I used the Squiglink + Wavelet combination, but I couldn’t, no matter what curves I set.
I’m really looking forward to when these Ankers are brought to the Russia, judging by their frequency response - they have finally begun to move away from these peaks.
Sorry for the mistakes, I used a translator :/
4nc or 3pro..müzik dinlemek için,hangisinin ses daha iyi.teşekkürler
@@RedPillMotivation-u8e Çok az dinleme deneyiminiz varsa, 4ns almak daha iyidir. Tıslıksız, sakin bir sese sahipler, bu yüzden onları dinlerken rahat olacaksınız. 3 pro ses açısından biraz daha iyi olacaktır ancak tıslamaları sizi rahatsız edecektir. Ve genel olarak 4ns daha ucuz olacak
Always had trouble with buds unless they they have a hook to hold onto the ear. I prefer over the ear headphones, my Sony wh1000-xm5 are super comfortable for long sessions.
3 is still good enough! May wait another year for the 4pro to drop price
Great comparison
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. Excellent comparison
Thanks for this video great breakdown.
Don't have the 4 pro yet but I do like the other earbuds. I found the Liberty 3 pros fit can be tricky for my ears but unless I'm active they're cool.
I have at least one year with the Liberty 4 NC, since december 2023, and now I'm really bored, it's very umcomfortable (I run all weeks 3-4 times per week, in average 1 hour, I have to accommodate them from time to time), the battery of buds and case are draining really fast, and the microphones are getting worse, I'm looking for new earbuds, I'm liking the Oneplus Buds 3, let's see.
My mics of the l4nc broke after 1 year
Thank you I sqw the 4 pro had some issues but nothing but good reviews for the 4nc
I have the liberty 2pro and love them but they won't charge the right headphone any more
For me it will always be the liberty 3 pro. i love their design. I don't know why the Company changed the design to this apple like stick😅 has nobody else the issue with earrings?? My problem is when you walk the sticks will touch the earrings and there will be a click with every step I take?? I hate this and this is why I only wear buds but I never heard some body e se complain about it😅
Love your reports :) Thanks
Interesting that you thought the ANC on the Pros was superior to the NCs. Other sources seemed to suggest that it is slightly worse. 🤔
How does the 4 pro 4nc compare with the earfun air pro 4???
Way better
Soundcore beats earfun
@@MrREAPERsz I don't think a blanket "company X beats company Y" statement is very helpful, tbh
Good job! Great video!
I received the liberty 4 pro yesterday (Oct 10 2024), I sent it back to Amazon, mainly because they didn't send me the free protection, but I had time to test it After applying the buds and box latest firmware upgrade.
There are 2 errors in your video the liberty 4 pro works on Bluetooth 3 not Bluetooth 4,
And the spatial mode cannot work with ldac.
It's not a loose, becau although I love spacial on some brands, on this one I find it sloppy, adding artificial warmth to the sound, and I was glad to let go on it. I am not a player so I didn't try the gaming mode.
This being said, I happen to have good other earbuds.
The sound of these ones is slightly better than them, due to an impressive personalized tuning.
I must tell you that I am 69 , and my hearing is not the same as when I was a teenager.
I also have a slight acouphènes problem that doesn't spoil my life.
And my earbuds must cope with that..
I also have another problem: I am allergic to some earbuds. I only had a small times to find out with these, but I notice no start of an allergic reaction.
The sound of those earbuds is the best I ever had, but I would say that the next ones are only less than 5% away. For a price almost double that what I paid,
The anc is very good, even for the voices. I turned the tv on at a normal level
When they was playing music at a normal volume I could not hear the tv any more.
With the same program and another pair with anc on, I still could hear the voices a little.
I didn't try the charging features.
So my impression is that those buds are really very good. But are they worth the over $100 pricetag when my others pairs are more likely to be priced around $50 now.
I would say that they are slightly too expensive compared to their competitors.
So for sure I will consider buying them again, but only when a promo will arise.
If you don't have a good pair of earbuds now and want to have only 1 pair,, you will make no mistake buying those.
Otherwise, wait for a better price.
If you already have a good
Not happy that they changed the form factor. It's not like if you needed a stem design there weren't a bunch of other options
I have 4NC, they are better than others I have. They are great for the money.
I'm rather disappointed with the 4 Pro, but it's because of the lack of a low latency mode for gaming. Which really sucks as the Liberty 4 NC were legitimately good buds, but my ears are weird and the stock ear tips wouldn't stay in my ear. And 3rd party tips were non existent as the nozzle for them was so shallow and flat compared to regular earbuds.
That and the battery life was rather bad, even with LDAC turned off. I went down below 30% with 5 hours of use. (Wasn't even very loud, I was just below half the max volume) It sorta makes up for that with the quick charging in the case though which is surprisingly fast.
They're overall great earbuds but the lack of low latency was the deal breaker for me. Hopefully they'll be updated with a dedicated low latency mode as they could support it since the 4 NC could.
If 4nc pro release
I'll buy it quickly
Me: There's no way someone is as much or above as picky with sound as I am.
*Watches this video
Me: Brother?...
This is the exact video im after. Ive always liked the sound of the L3P and the L2P but with the 3's ive found them uncomfortable for long periods of time.
I want to know if the 4s sound better, the other features im not too fussed about, but no one has mentioned drivers vs armature yet....
Anker is the "air pods" for Android 👌 along with not so bad SoundPEATS the budget option for Android lol
Hi picky! Able to do a comparison between the liberty 4 pro and the one plus pro 3?
Good vidéo.
What is the best one for meetings and calls.
I hate that there are no wings. I can't wear earbuds without wings when I sweat. Will you review the linkbuds fit when they come out? I want those but I refuse to buy earbuds until you review them.
So not worth upgrading from the Liberty 4? Thanks! Any recommendations for EQ customization for the 4?
Yaaa rigght.. Soundcore sound quality is up there almost the best. Upgraded from Edifier x3 to Soundcore, Good build quality too. As Soundcore Spirit X2 and X10 user.. Both earhook design stays on ear good. But Spirit X10 was uncomfortable to take off ear and must twist the hook making it fall often while storing it anywhere or back in charger. It was irritatingly annoying. . And lot o wind noise while riding bike. I switched to stem shape buds, first one Tribit flybuds C1. Good sound only at almost full volume. Small soundstage but decent comfortable listening as no distortion. Further upgrade to Cmf Buds pro 2, mutiple features, Spatial audio. Ldac(battery drainer, almost same sounding). Very loud,too much bass if selecting bass boost abovs 2. Very Bad fit in ears with stock tips and have to try hybrid silicon or memory foam tips later. Hey, do a review on good n best eartips, they r most important part of earbuds.
Plenty of good sounding budget earbuds in market sub 50 dollars.. and midrange sub 100 dollars price .. But Soundcore has the top sounding buds that competes with higher more expensive branded buds. Am gonna get Liberty 4c, hows the fit? .
Good review with highly distinct Aussie accent,, slow down a bit mate.( jus kdn) .., slow when you highlight the main points.
I rarely refer to earbuds reviews but saw yur channel, has lots n lots o buds.. Sooo manyyyy.. How you pick yur favourite from sooo many??, well i suggest yu keep diffrent for various occasions.. Travel, bike ride, workout, sleep.,walk, commute train, plane etc etc...
You right on earbuds test review champ, keep it upppp.Volummmee of the buds too. List the main points of each earbuds reviewed highlighted in description, Yaaa.!! 😊
Hey picky, I love your videos. Can you please tell me of it makes sense to p40i over liberty 4nc? I need something that's as good as the 4nc in terms of mic quality and noise canceling but at cheaper price so I was looking at p40i.
Please help
Deciding between Soundcore Liberty 4 NC and Sony WF-C700N. Would love to hear your opinion
Your comments are valuable to me. My question is, would you prefer Jabra (8 or 10) or Liberty 4 Pro?
Is the Liberty Pro 4 Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4?
Different reviewers list different Bluetooth technology and Anker doesn't have the definite information on their website.
Im pretty sure it’s 5.4 but this is hard to find for some reason with a lot of their buds
Very good video , Thankyou 😊
From Japan 🇯🇵 AirPods 4 or sound core libertery 4 for working driving truck and forklift tending calls?
Hello - witch Sound is the best: Soundcore liberty 4pro or Liberty 4, Greetings fron Germany Bernd🤔🎼🎵
Love the 4 pro, but I cant get behind these new soundcore tips. Just can't get a good fit. Any recommendations?
thank you i made up my mind not to upgrade to the pro from NC
Is the Earfun Pro 4 still your best budget wireless earbuds?
Hi im confused im comparing the liberty 4 NC , galaxy FE , nothing stick , nothing a what would You go for with best bass and compatibility with iphone under 100usd ,,please help ive heard that liberty 4 nc doesnt support ldac in Iphone ..Many thanks
4NC is the best option. They sound great on an iPhone. LDAC will only improved the sound slightly. Not noticeable to most people
@@pickyaudio Thanks for help just bought them
@@pickyaudio dude thanks for advice they play awesome for this price earbuds the bass is outstanding for earbuds this price and size i cant really complain and be picky and find any minuses ...happy impressed;-)
I was planning to get the 4 NC but on that mic test they sucked and I have changed my mind. I'm going with soundpeats capsule 3 pro.
Nice 1 picky!
Can the MultiPoint take over be disabled? The reason I'm asking is that I have a pair of Audio Technica that have similar function but it even applies on Phone notification. If I connect it to my Macbook and Phone at the same time. I'm streaming on my Macbook, a notification on my phone will end up pause the video.
Can you compare the ANC and sound quality of 4 NC to apple's air pods 2? I am split between the the two.
Compared liberty 4 pro to JBL live beam 3 … best sound quality?
Your first category, comfort is confusing. I bought these because the A40's have served me so well for some time and are a great fit, despite being cheap, and i wanted to step up the sound quality. I'm really confused by the many glowing reviews. These are quite simply the worst fitting buds I've ever used. And I've tried and own many. They just fall out, as i feel they do not have enough reach to fit in the ear-canal. Maybe I have weird ears but the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 for example, that I used to think we're a bad fit, are way better. The cheap SoundCore Space A40's are streets ahead of these. The sleep buds also way better fit. I can go on and on. Even the many cheap sub $50 no name brands are better than these. Yes if i gently push them in they sound amazing. But they just spring out when you let go. Tried all the tips (that are impossible to get back into their tray) and none held. Disappointing
I've just lost my pair of 4NCs. Is he interested to know if there's any improvement to the Google or apple device finding compatibility.i think the 4 pros have introduced a backtrack feature, but no reviewers seem to be mentioning it.
4nc have hear id test, I've used them!!
