I've been watching a whole bunch of videos on these and the general consensus was that they're good, great even especially when considering the price and this video just cemented that for me. Very informative and I'm ordering a pair now
Chris Taft they're absolutely amazing. I had crappy cheap QCYs and these are like I got a Ferrari after driving a Toyota for a while. Call quality is incredible. No one notices I'm not holding phone to the ear.
This really helps me because i was told at the store i had to use both L and R for them to work. I will look to set the L only and not to have to wear both in order for them to work. This video was very helpful!
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT review of the earbuds!! You had a relaxed, "take your time" quality approach and you pretty much covered every aspect of the buds. Awesome review, thank you Chris!! Getting ready to try them out for myself!!
I was patient, got lucky and was the only eBay bidder on a pare of these. Pre-Owned, like new, "pristine" with a buy now of $70 and I placed the only bid in 7 days for $31 plus $11.75 shipping plus tax. Out the door for $46. New, retail would have been about $110. Like others here, I watched dozens of videos and compared these buds and others. Feature per feature, the Liberty Air 2's are the best thing going. Thanks for your excellent video Chris. It was a deal maker for me.
I bought them with my Oneplus 8 Pro and they've been just great and now that I'm moving back to iPhone I can't leave these buds! I'm taking them with me.
Yep. All app equalizers and volume apps are not free in AppStore. I just ordered the Ankers. The app and customization looks great, plus touch control (!!!) you didn’t covered vs apple and all the great sound and call standard goodies.
@@thechristaft I bought them they are OK on my android device but, when I connect them to my Win10 PC, the microphone is not working at all. Any suggestion?
Hi Chris, How do they feel in the ear with the silicone tip compared to the Airpods? Any fatigue or pressure? One thing nobody talks about that you covered a little is the airiness of an open-back earbuds and the loudness of your voice when you speak or eat with those closed silicone tips. How do you feel about that after the hype? Nice review, thanks a lot mate!
Antoine Viau great question! I would say that when I wear the silicone ear tips, they do create a very tight seal which dampens a lot of external noise. Because of that, the sound quality definitely goes up, but you do feel some pressure in your ear. I used these on a two and a half hour flight last week and had zero issue with fatigue. But, I do prefer Airpods when I am talking on the phone because you can hear your voice better. With the Liberty Air 2s, you aren't getting much of your voice coming through on phone calls, so it's not as pleasant of an experience. If I used them regularly for phone calls, I would just take one out and talk with one in. I do that also with Airpods. I also use my Airpods a lot when I am around my family, maybe cleaning the house or something so that I can be more present and feel like I have a sense of what is going on around me. With the silicone ear tips, I really get cut off from the world, so I mainly use those for private listening experiences. I also find the Airpods comfortable for my ears, so fit isn't an issue with me, but I can't wear them more than an hour before experiencing some pain, so silicone ear tips definitely allow me to have longer listening sessions without taking a break.
For pure listening, I prefer the sound from the closed experience of silicone ear tips, but if I had to choose only one pair of earbuds to own, I would go with the AirPods for portability and because they work for me in more situations where I need to be more present, due to the open air nature of their fit.
Thanks for the review! On top of knowing how easily they pair I also wanted to know how well they are at switching between devices depending on where audio is coming from. I'm looking for earbuds that are able to switch between my mac, iPad, and iPhone seamlessly and smartly.
Thanks for asking! In terms of switching between devices, it’s definitely not as seamless. You do have to go into your Bluetooth settings on the device you are switching to.
Hi Babar, I have not used the Galaxy Buds, but have heard a lot of good things about them. Here is my thought.... If you have a Samsung device, I would go Galaxy Buds because you get more features through the Samsung companion app, otherwise, I think you will probably get comparable sound quality between the two earbuds, and it looks like prices are somewhat close as well. It does seem the Liberty Air 2s have a higher water resistance rating.
Hi! firstly, great review. Secondly, I need your advice :) I have never used wireless earbuds before. Based on yours and other users opinions I know that they are pretty good in terms of sound quality and overall usage. But how would you rate them in comparison to a decent 100$ cable earphones. I have a phone using AptX feature so I guess it will improve the sound but as I mentioned, these would be my first tws earbuds ever and I do not know what I can expect from them after 20 years of using decent cable earphones.
I think you will most likely always get better sound from a good pair of wired headphones, although the difference in quality is becoming less as wireless headphones get better. Also, if you are using over the ear headphones with a good seal, that will add to the difference in quality. If sound quality is what you are striving for, then wired will most likely be better. I prefer earbuds primarily for portability and the lack of a wire getting in the way. I am always looking for better sound, but am willing to sacrifice in that area a bit for the portability and ease of use.
@@thechristaft thanks for sharing your experience. Sound is important but as you mentioned, portability becomes more and more important. I am done with cables. I believe that I just can't go wrong with the Liberty Air 2. Too much positive feedback coming from almost every single review!
Hi, christ. Nice review. I would like to know your video on time 11.44 is the mic test is it. I would like to get one, felt that its quite good wireless earbud with this price point. But I'm still sketical with the mic picking up our voice while on the call, is it good? And is it good too while using either one of it while on call? And one more question , is it easy fall off ur ear on normal daily life and also while do some exercise? Because I'm try to made decision buying this or aftershokz aeropex.Hopefully ur reply can help me picking up this liberty air 2. Thanks.
Hello Sheng Ah, let me do a little more testing with the mics on voice calls today, will get right back to you, but I can say the fit is very solid. No risk of them falling out. I’ve been taking them on bike rides and they do really well, they are comfortable and tight fitting.
I did do some additional testing with my wife who was eating at a restaurant. She reported my voice sounded loud and clear. I used both earbuds at the same time and then also tested each separately, first the right ear and then the left ear. Additionally, they do not automatically switch over if you pull the right ear out and insert the left ear. Because you have to pair with each earbud separately to use them on their own, if you are mid call, you need to stick with the earbud you are paired with.
@@thechristaft your mic test outdoors is the clearest test I have heard on any earbud reviews. Almost seems like the sound was just coming through your phone for both video clips. 😁
Hello, so when you go into your Bluetooth settings, you will see two pairing devices for the earbuds. One pairs with the right earbud, one pairs with the left earbud. You don’t pair both at the same time, you only pair one. The two device listings allow you to pair with each separately so you can listen to either the left or right earbud on its own.
@@thechristaft so if u connect it to Liberty Air 2 L it would play music in the left one and not the right one, and if u connect it to Liberty Air 2 than it would play music on both the buds right
Chris i have a question can i use a pair of air pods wireless with my samsung note? My wife hava a pro max 11 n her iphone came with the factory earphones n they sound beautiful , sound quality is out of this world. Those earphone wont fit my samsung. Can i bluetooth with my samsung not? Have a nice Saturday evening. Take care n be safe. God Bles 👍👍👍👍👍
William, found this article online. You can use AirPods with non-Apple devices. You can connect via Bluetooth which Samsung devices can do, so should work to connect and listen. However, you lose a lot of features like auto-pairing, automatic ear detection, single AirPod listening, and some touch controls. www.macrumors.com/guide/airpods-android/
Nice review. I decided to buy the Liberty air 2 after some researching (including your vid, obv). I really liked how you structured the review and you had a good pace throughout the video. Keep it up!
Hello Chris, I hope you're all well. Really thanks for this detailed review. You covered things which apparently not many reviewers covered. You missed out on touch gesture control tho, so please tell me about those like what all the options Liberty air 2 have with touch gesture control. And do each earbud connect separately to the device? Like for instance, Can I connect left bud to my phone and right one to my laptop at the same time, is it something like that? It'll be really helpful for me picking these up if you answer these queries. You cleared most of my doubts with these but please tell me about what I asked you. Thanks 👍👍
Hilal thanks for watching and great questions... For the touch controls, they are fully configurable via the Soundcore app. You use a combination of tapping twice or holding for 2 seconds on each Earbud, the left and the right, to activate that control. You can Play/Pause, Answer calls or hangup, move to the next track, power the earbuds on and off, and access your voice assistant. You cannot effect volume with the touch controls. I found them to be responsive and did not have any issues. Also, you can connect both buds separately to your phone. That allows you to use both the right or left earbud individually for listening and phone calls. I have not tested each earbud connected to a different device, but will do so this afternoon and will report back to you later today. Thanks!
@@thechristaft Thanks mate, I'll wait for your response. And we can't control volume via touch control? I've seen a review where from inside of Soundcore app we can set volume controls also via touch control. Please confirm this. And last question, do they have a wear sensor like when we remove either earbud the music will pause? Thanks again. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Filmed a short video and out it up on my channel, you can control volume and I wasn’t able to connect to two devices at the same time, check it out here: ruclips.net/video/dtusSQN8XBE/видео.html
@@thechristaft Thanks brother 👍👍 You're awesome. You earned my subscribe ☺️ I rarely subscribe to any channel but for your work you deserve that. Hope to see you on list of top geek youtubers 🤞🤙 Keep up the good work.
Interesting... I might pick those up and give them a try. I lean towards the earbuds that have the stem a little more, but maybe I should give them a try.
Sound is great . Love the app. sometimes i get connection issue ,call quality is not as airpod but workable. Doesnt fit well in my ear , Its start irritating after a while. air pod has something air pressure thing which is absent . I got this for 50$ so i cant complain but for anything above 100$ i would go for galaxy bud or airpod.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I’ve felt the air pressure problems too with earbuds like this. Different eartips though have helped with fit for me.
Nice review man ! Thanks!! The fact that they connect individually means you can also connect each earbud to a separate device. Example: right earbud for phone, left earbud for tablet. Earbuds will connect depending on which one you pull out first. I use that a lot when i'm at work. 👌🏾
Apple made an error by not putting an silicons ear bud cover on the regular EarPods . The pros have the tips. Secondly Apple needs a built in equalizer just like Android. WTF. Apple got ass kicked by soundcore. I do have the soundcore liberty 2 pros and like them. Not sure if these are any better.
Best review of the Liberty Air 2 I've seen! Congratulations.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I've been watching a whole bunch of videos on these and the general consensus was that they're good, great even especially when considering the price and this video just cemented that for me. Very informative and I'm ordering a pair now
Thanks Shaquille, I appreciate the comment!
Ordered mine on friday and now binge watching reviews until I get them tomorrow. Can't wait to have them!
Marko, let me know what you think when they come in.
Chris Taft they're absolutely amazing. I had crappy cheap QCYs and these are like I got a Ferrari after driving a Toyota for a while. Call quality is incredible. No one notices I'm not holding phone to the ear.
This really helps me because i was told at the store i had to use both L and R for them to work. I will look to set the L only and not to have to wear both in order for them to work. This video was very helpful!

Much appreciated!
I was patient, got lucky and was the only eBay bidder on a pare of these. Pre-Owned, like new, "pristine" with a buy now of $70 and I placed the only bid in 7 days for $31 plus $11.75 shipping plus tax. Out the door for $46. New, retail would have been about $110. Like others here, I watched dozens of videos and compared these buds and others. Feature per feature, the Liberty Air 2's are the best thing going.
Thanks for your excellent video Chris. It was a deal maker for me.
Congrats on getting a good deal! I’m glad I could with the video. Thanks for watching and letting me know!
@@thechristaft Yeah, My wife just walked in. She asked if you were an attorney. I told her no, he's the ear buds guy.
I bought them with my Oneplus 8 Pro and they've been just great and now that I'm moving back to iPhone I can't leave these buds! I'm taking them with me.
They work well with iPhone too!
Yep. All app equalizers and volume apps are not free in AppStore. I just ordered the Ankers. The app and customization looks great, plus touch control (!!!) you didn’t covered vs apple and all the great sound and call standard goodies.
Good point on the touch controls, thanks for pointing those out!
Ordered mine for $64 in amazon black friday sale. Can't wait to have them.
Great to hear let me know what you think when you get them!
I recently gave into buying the AirPod Pro’s. I love the ANC feature but the sound between the Liberty Air 2 is night and day.
Thanks Ace Kicker, totally agree!
How do u make these louder?
Thank you Chris, very good review! I will buy them!
Thanks for watching!
@@thechristaft I bought them they are OK on my android device but, when I connect them to my Win10 PC, the microphone is not working at all. Any suggestion?
Sorry your having problems with Win10, I’m on a Mac, but will see about testing out on a Windows box.
@@thechristaft Thankk you for answering. I tried everything but I only worked this out downgrading the bluetooth driver on my notebook

Correct, the Liberty Air 2 L will play in both of you have them both in, but it also enables you to just use the left by itself.
@@thechristaft what would you do to only use the right earbud in your ear while the left one is in the case.
You would need to connect to the other Liberty Air 2 device in your settings.
