UPDATE! Firmware version 3.69 has dramatically improved the transparency mode! Voices are a lot clearer and natural. Distant noise now sounds normal (this was the biggest improvement). Overall I'd be happy to use transparency when having a conversation and the overall quality is very close to the Liberty 4. Soundcore once again showing why they're the kings. 🙌
What score do you give their transparency mode out of 10? Can you recommend other buds with better transparency maintaining a comfy and secure fit with a similar price?
So, my arm hurt so much from your review, I dropped them in the cart. I already own the LIberty 4's. But, I got them in, got them set and I have not had a more satisfying experience with earbuds in a very long time. In terms of sound quality, these truly get it done. Thanks for being Picky.
You have the best channel on RUclips regarding audio hardware. Hands down man, you are very smart, structured-thinking and overall amazing video creator!
I wish I knew about this channel ages ago! Thanks for all the detail and for talking about niche stuff that most people skip over. I feel so much more confident about ordering the Liberty 4 NCs now. Bless you!
Another great Picky review. I was definitely surprised with some of the other brands you chose the over. Especially the Evos for sound quality. You now have my attention again Soundcore 😂
@@pickyaudio And LOVE them. Tested call quality mic/NC in the car with windows down, barking dogs, running water, flushing toilet. My listener could only detect a few artifacts on occasion, but had no idea what I was doing. AMAZING!
@@SideEffects297Primarily I bought for mic NC on phone calls, but also I find very immersive listening to music. Not an expert, but they're best earbuds I've ever had for both calls and music. I find the music playback great, including plenty bass.
@@SideEffects297I don't have answers to your specific questions on LDAC or Liberty Pro 4. I run a Pixel 7 if that helps on codecs. Music sounds great. NC was great today blocking road/wind/traffic noise on a 2 hour drive. They're the best earbuds I've ever owned but it's been several years since I had expensive Sony's.
I either lost my liberty pro 3's or they were stolen so, I ordered these for €77 including shipping. I've been so impressed with Soundcore and now everyone in the household has a pair. Even the cheaper pairs sound impressive.
So far, the transparency seems very good actually. I was a little concerned after I watched this review, but I just got mine and tried them out. The transparency seems very good so far. I did have a firmware update during the setup. Maybe that addressed the transparency mode
Bro i was so confused with the controls i almost surrendered with soundcore cuz the guids don't specify you can configure the controls that much. Thanks to you i know now that i might get this earbuds in the future, great vid!😎
I bought these recently and am really impressed by the sound quality. I use the spoken word EQ setting for listening to music as it turns the bass down a bit, I dont like earbuds being too bassy. I used to use Sony XM4s until I got battery issues with one of the buds and refused to pay £200 for another set of buds that dont last. The only thing I would say I find the ANC to be poor but made up for by the fact that the passive NC is excellent. I found when I toggled wind noise reduction on/off while out walking on a breezy day to make absolutley no differnece. I havent tested airplane mode yet. Great review, subscribed.
I had the Soundcore A2 nc but lost them on a bike trail. I don't see them on amazon anymore so I think I'll go with these. The 4nc is 70 on amazon rn. Sounds like a steal to me.
This look really a promising TWS. I will have these TWS tomorrow, ordered it online. I do think we have the same taste and what we are looking for in a TWS. I even prefer this over the Liberty 4 cuz of the bassy signature, we prefer to be bassy and we want full richer sound overall. I understand you because you compared the W240TN to 4NC, that's my previous tws, and it sounds meh and seriously lacking for me out of the box, it got better when I tuned the EQ though. ANC and transparency are also good in W240TN, but after seeing you ranked it 10th and placing 4NC on 5th in terms of ANC, it made me realized I made a good choice there afterall. Haven't tried higher models of Soundcore before, I hope this brand will turn things around. Also good to hear that Transparency was fixed after the update. I'm looking forward, nice content Picky Audio glad to have watched this😁👌
@@landonfolken03 but if you use only one of the earbuds, you can just change the audio output of your phone/computer to be "mono" right? So both channels will be sent to both earbuds and you will hear both channels through the single bud you are using?
@@neotheone04that's means he has to do it anytime he's using one earbud and then change it back to stereo when he's using two which can get pretty tiring.
I've iust lost one of my 1st Gen Echo Buds, that I paired with my iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, so the timing of this video is perfect! Regular AirPods don't stay in my ears, so I need something more fitted. Might have to give these a go.
Finally... you're one of the RUclipsrs that they reached out to make a content early and release it on time, I usually dont buy products until I watch your review. Because there are some RUclipsrs claim that these are better than the Airpods Pro 2 and is the ultimate tws lol. A bunch of paid reviewers. I stay Picky only support HONEST reviewrs Keep it up brother!
Beware of poor battery life. A week ago, I decided to test the actual battery life after having it for a year. With ANC on, SBC Codec, it only lasted for about 6 hours. I purchase this from Amazon US. Since they can't ship replacement to NZ they offer me 40% refund, not from price of purchase, but on the price of the current price which was lower than what I paid. The 40% according to the support is because I still have about 5 months left for warranty.
I bought these headphones for 100 dollars on their website and within a week the right earphone burned, and they did not accept the guarantee for being outside the country, a shame, I loved them.
fyi actually you can use mono mode on these earbuds but you need to set it on ur phone sound settings.. well its annoying need to open the settings etc etc but it works well to me.. i love to wear one earbuds when riding motorcycle so i set it on my Huawei P40 into mono mode everytime before i start riding
You're the only reviewer who's ever mentioned Mono audio when using 1 earbud. Thanks for that. Can you confirm if that's still the case please? Is it possible that a software update fixed this?
I've contacted soundcore support about that. Here is there answer : "When using only one earbud of the Liberty 4 or Liberty 4 NC, the audio output will remain according to the settings on your phone. If your phone is set to play stereo sound, it will continue to do so, and you will hear both the left and right channels in the one earbud." So I guess we can call this "mono" if the left and right channels go to one earbud? 😅
Great review Picky Audio. I have been using Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro for a long time. I am looking to upgrade to something that will be best for calls. I walk on a noisy street with tons of cars passing by and on the beach with a lot of wind noise. What would you buy for the best noise reduction on the microphone? Thank you again for a great review.
really cool vid bro keep goinggg !!!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to ask which of the soundpeats air 3 pro and earfun air 3 pro is better im really so confused and cant decide which one to get so id like if u can please help me with that would appreciate it so muchhhhhh .
@@pickyaudio oh thank u so much for replying . I was confused because u mentioned some issues with the earfun sound quality. So even with that should I go to earfun as a better option ?
Hello, congratulations for the review. At the same price $, which do you recommend for use in the gym and outdoor walks? I love listening to good rock n roll! Between Liberty 4 and Liberty 4 NC.
I had one of their earbuds before as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. The life dot 2 xr, were the best sounding earbuds I ever heard. If they hadn’t quit on me I would have still been rocking them today. My 4nc should be here in a few days
FYI, When using multipoint on a windows 11 computer (and possibly other windows versions) If your computer can't discover the liberty 4 nc when pairing, change your "Bluetooth devices discovery" setting from "Default" to "Advanced". This made them discoverable for me. I didn't have to do this with the liberty air 2, space a40, or the JBL live pro 2, but I did with liberty 4 nc. I thought there was an issue with the liberty 4 nc, but this solved the issue
@@pickyaudio ya, I almost returned them because I tried everything else and it wouldn't work. The Liberty 4 NC wouldn't populate on my computer's pairing menu. I have seen other complaints about this online so thought I'd share
great review man! damn, this vid actually puts me in doubt about soundpeats' engine 4. which do you think is the better sounding tws? I bet you'll give soundcore your vote, seeing your conclusion in the end, but just tell us please
Thanks! Engine 4 bass is slightly more punchy and controlled. Sound stage a bit more open and mids boosted more. Treble is nicer on the 4NC though. It’s really close so can’t say for sure, engine 4 slightly more blacked, 4NC more Bass boosted
@@pickyaudio wow so you're saying both are equal in sense of sound? You also mentioned something about comfort, n soundcore kinda leads here. Hmmmmmm. Which do you is better overall? Lol both aren't ready here in Indonesia btw
I've contacted soundcore support about the "mono mode" because different reviews say different thing. Here is there answer : "When using only one earbud of the Liberty 4 or Liberty 4 NC, the audio output will remain according to the settings on your phone. If your phone is set to play stereo sound, it will continue to do so, and you will hear both the left and right channels in the one earbud.". Don't know what to think because they don't clearly says that it is mono but if all the two channels go to one ear, its called mono, right?
Personally I can't stand the earbud sticks design with the long stalk. I much prefer the bud design/bean design that is only visible from the side and looks less ridiculous. I remember when Airpods came out and people wore them with the stalks sticking out of their heads toward the side - looks really stupid! lol
11 months later do you still use them, I love soundcore products even though the original liberty 4’s feel better in my ear I do love them and the liberty 4 nc
The obvious question here is the sound difference. I'm uk the lib4 NC is 80£, whereas the original lib4 are still well over £100. Seems there's is a little difference on the driver spec
The Liberty 4 have dual drivers, and a more convenient squeeze/touch control rather than just basic touch control. Probably better microphones. Other than that, it's pretty much matches it feature for feature and probably gets better battery life. That was pretty much what they did with the space a40. Got worst drivers, worst microphones but otherwise retained all the major features like multipoint and LDAC
Hi, do you have a final rating comparison between Liberty 4 and Liberty 4 NC? My Liberty 4 got washed in a washing machine and was thinking to either purchase liberty 4 or liberty 4 NC
I'm confused. I own Space A40 and I hear both channels (left and right) when I use only one earbud (easy to test this). I would assume that Liberty 4 NC works the same way.
I don't know under which video i should ask. I'll go here since i have this pair and i am looking something similar in overall equality for a friend but he can't bear the in-ears! he's into earbuds ( currently owns a very cheap old xiaomi bulky pair )
In between SoundPeats Engine 4 and these, which sound do you prefer since on your recent engine 4 review you mentioned it was your favourite tunning from SoundPeats? And how about SoundPeats H1 compared to these?
Engine 4 is slightly more balanced with a wider sound stage. H1 is a more over the top bass boosted tuning. Pure sound quality is so close but SoundPEATS just wins there.
@@farhanchowdhury9291 Depends what you like, for example I personally dont care about ANC or transparency mode, passive noise cancelling works good enough for me, I like to have insane battery life, great sound and dual device connection. And as for calls I personally havent had anyone tell me they cant hear me speak with the engine 4, I have had people say that with the h1 but engine 4 so far has been good.
Hey, i ran my buds down all the way to 0%, and I squeezed out around 6h30m - 7h (barely touching 7 hours). After some digging, I found a reddit post where someone copy and pasted the email they got from soundcore after inquiring about the battery life. The email stated "8 hours with ANC off and 6 hours with it on." I'm teetering on the decision of tossing these but I absolutely love the sound and ANC. Any recommendations for ANC like the L4NC at the same price point?
I‘m not sure if I‘m just unable to turn anc on or if it doesn’t work hardly at all. Upon setting it manually and changing the amount from minimum to maximum, I hear no difference.
Hello, sorry. I know this is an old video, I wanted to know what's the occlusion score you have for Liberty 4 NC when it comes to Transparency? I can see Melobuds had 4/5.9
I'd like to ask you for recommendation cuz I'm pretty much confused which do u recommend between earfun air 3 pro and soundcore liberty 3 pro. I have watched some reviews but still can't decide would appreciate it much if you can help ...... keep the good work !!!
Got mine few days ago at your recommendation on the amazon live, thanks again! I'm loving it a lot, although tbf I'm coming from the 1st gen galaxy akg earbuds so lots of new feature whatever i choose hah
I have an iphone and an ipad. My question is do I need to install soundcore apps on both my devices. If I install soundcore apps on iPhone only, will EQ sound on my iPad also be applied?
I got these the other day and love them. The one thing i absolutely hate is the silicone tips theyve included and the fact they are some stupid oval shape that you cant just buy different ones. Luckily, i found a reddit post the other nighr where some guy found other brands that use similar ones thag work for it lol
I have the Huawei free buds pro. Do you think I should replace them? Thank you for your detailed videos. I was hopping but somehow also sure that you would do a video about them!
UPDATE! Firmware version 3.69 has dramatically improved the transparency mode! Voices are a lot clearer and natural. Distant noise now sounds normal (this was the biggest improvement).

The obvious question here is the sound difference.
I'm uk the lib4 NC is 80£, whereas the original lib4 are still well over £100.
Seems there's is a little difference on the driver spec
Yea it's not a massive sound difference
The Liberty 4 have dual drivers, and a more convenient squeeze/touch control rather than just basic touch control. Probably better microphones.
Other than that, it's pretty much matches it feature for feature and probably gets better battery life. That was pretty much what they did with the space a40. Got worst drivers, worst microphones but otherwise retained all the major features like multipoint and LDAC
Hi, do you have a final rating comparison between Liberty 4 and Liberty 4 NC? My Liberty 4 got washed in a washing machine and was thinking to either purchase liberty 4 or liberty 4 NC
I'm confused. I own Space A40 and I hear both channels (left and right) when I use only one earbud (easy to test this). I would assume that Liberty 4 NC works the same way.
I don't know under which video i should ask. I'll go here since i have this pair and i am looking something similar in overall equality for a friend but he can't bear the in-ears! he's into earbuds ( currently owns a very cheap old xiaomi bulky pair )
In between SoundPeats Engine 4 and these, which sound do you prefer since on your recent engine 4 review you mentioned it was your favourite tunning from SoundPeats? And how about SoundPeats H1 compared to these?
Engine 4 is slightly more balanced with a wider sound stage. H1 is a more over the top bass boosted tuning. Pure sound quality is so close but SoundPEATS just wins there.
@@pickyaudio So if you were to choose between engine 4 compared to lb 4 nc just based on sound quality alone, you would choose engine 4?
@@dualShockRK98 engine 4 has great sound but misses out on other features even phone calls are barely serviceable.
@@farhanchowdhury9291 Depends what you like, for example I personally dont care about ANC or transparency mode, passive noise cancelling works good enough for me, I like to have insane battery life, great sound and dual device connection. And as for calls I personally havent had anyone tell me they cant hear me speak with the engine 4, I have had people say that with the h1 but engine 4 so far has been good.
@@dualShockRK98 Won't disagree. But they could be a bit louder and the sub base rumble is lacking to my taste. Though app EQ helps a little.
Do you recommend this or the link buds s or the liberty 4 more for overall
Gabriel Batistuta from AS Roma legend football 😱
Among Jbl live 2 pro vs soundscore liberty 4 nc which one is good in terms of sound, Anc, app user, not importantly call quality, and comfort
I would tie everything except controls, ANC and app support is better with the 4NC
Hey, i ran my buds down all the way to 0%, and I squeezed out around 6h30m - 7h (barely touching 7 hours). After some digging, I found a reddit post where someone copy and pasted the email they got from soundcore after inquiring about the battery life. The email stated "8 hours with ANC off and 6 hours with it on." I'm teetering on the decision of tossing these but I absolutely love the sound and ANC. Any recommendations for ANC like the L4NC at the same price point?
I‘m not sure if I‘m just unable to turn anc on or if it doesn’t work hardly at all. Upon setting it manually and changing the amount from minimum to maximum, I hear no difference.
Hello, sorry. I know this is an old video, I wanted to know what's the occlusion score you have for Liberty 4 NC when it comes to Transparency? I can see Melobuds had 4/5.9
Great review! Would you say that the transparency mode is the same, worse or better than the space a40?
With the recent update it is better
These look great
For you, you choose Liberty 4 nc or liberty 3 pro
link not showing anything except for a search and when searched these don't come up at all for me. Amazon au
Yea they’re not out on Amazon AU yet sadly. Th me Aussie release is always delayed 🥲
What’s the best for calling? Liberty 4 NC or Liberty 4?
Does anyone know what size replacement memory foam style inserts work with these? Also one recommended? Not a huge fan of the silicone tips.
Super very good review
Thanks!
Great vid thank you!!!
Thank you, no worries!
I'd like to ask you for recommendation cuz I'm pretty much confused which do u recommend between earfun air 3 pro and soundcore liberty 3 pro. I have watched some reviews but still can't decide would appreciate it much if you can help ...... keep the good work !!!
Thanks! Liberty 3 pro is better overall
Watching some review they said you cannot control volume from the earbuds - is this true? No setting available for volume seems implausible.
Which one is better ?! in the ergonomic and voice quality (better base) liberty 4 or liberty 4nc ?
Got mine few days ago at your recommendation on the amazon live, thanks again!
I'm loving it a lot, although tbf I'm coming from the 1st gen galaxy akg earbuds so lots of new feature whatever i choose hah
Great to hear!
I have an iphone and an ipad. My question is do I need to install soundcore apps on both my devices. If I install soundcore apps on iPhone only, will EQ sound on my iPad also be applied?
What replacement eartips fit for this one?
I got these the other day and love them. The one thing i absolutely hate is the silicone tips theyve included and the fact they are some stupid oval shape that you cant just buy different ones. Luckily, i found a reddit post the other nighr where some guy found other brands that use similar ones thag work for it lol
OK but when is the haircare routine gonna drop🔥
Might start picky hair tips 🤔
In between cmf buds 2 pro and l4nc which sound do you prefer? Pls suggest
Is it big and not comfortable earbuds ?
I have the Huawei free buds pro. Do you think I should replace them? Thank you for your detailed videos. I was hopping but somehow also sure that you would do a video about them!
Thank you! I’ve never tested them so can’t say for sure
