Man, I love your reviews! You actually have opinions because you have invested time into intimately understanding and testing the products you are reviewing. Keep up the excellent work. Excellent reviewers like you are rare and we need more of them as product choices can be overwhelming. You have all my support. I got the Liberty 4 NC and I absolutely love them.
Your reviews make me buy the earbuds. Very honest and detailed reviews. Easily explained. I bought the same colour you reviewed. They are so nice and have an excellent sound as expected from soundcore. Really impressed with these. 😊👍👍
Another comprehensive review Andy! 👍 Soundcore is usually good about initial feedback and firmware fixes. Wouldn't be surprised to see an update to improve transparency as many reviews point out it's not that great.
Hi Andy Another great vid, these do seem to be getting good reviews so far. Really looking forward to seeing what Sony pulls out of the hat with the xm5 buds, we shall wait and see.
I think my ears are average to big sizes and I don't find them very comfortable. Thus, I don't think they would be a good fit for someone with small ears.
this brand is really growing FAST and doing great products at amazing prices. thanks for helpful review Andy. im waiting to see Pro version of this 4 lets see :)
The Liberty 4 are my favorite buds and it sounds like these are incrementally improved, but I'm a little disappointed that they didn't keep the stem-squeeze and went back to the tap. I have many buds with the tap-to-interact and it just seems like I get fewer misinterpreted contacts with the squeeze.
I just got the soundcore sport x10s, and they are my favorite earbuds I've ever had. Soundcore is awesome. Most earbuds fall out of my ears as soon as I sweat, so I have to have ear hooks to keep them in. These look awesome too. I may have to pick some up for a casual pair.
Pretty interesting review you did there, Andy! The only thing really missing was the sports/exercise side of things. I understand that that these are not outright supposed to be "sports/activity/exercise" earbuds, but as you can read from the comment, people are still interested to know how do they stack up: - How loose to they feel: when performing strength-based sports (think powerlifting, weightlifting, etc.), where you'll definitely move your EARS and most buds tend to instantly fall off; or when running-as whole-body-movements tend to make most earbuds fall off quite easily. - Do they fall off if you quickly turn your head or tilt it form side to side? - How comfortable are they? - Does sweat impact on grip/looseness? (TBH, I just wish these had some wings/hooks; as most of the questions mentioned above would just fade away into oblivion). If you find that the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are not quite good for the above-mentioned sports, which pairs of earbuds would you recommend? Preferably with the same (or very similar) features as the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. Other than that, great review! :)
These earbuds were designed for casual use. The fit is okay for low intensity and steady paced exercises such as jogging or yoga but I don’t think you should do any crossift or plyometrics with these buds. Soundcore has the X10 buds which have earhooks for a more secure fit. In this price range you might want to have a look at the Sennheiser Sport TW buds or the Jabra Elite 4 Active. Or maybe the Tribit H1 if you want earhooks. Or watch my comparison review between the best sports buds and best earhook buds if you want more details.
@@AndysTechTone thank you for your very comprehensive reply! Now I get a feeling of how it might be to train in these. Indeed, I've already watched your sports/earhook buds comparisons-hopefully, we'll also eventually get a 2023 edition? :). In fact, all of the alternatives you've mentioned in your reply seem great for the intended purpose I've described; I was just wondering if they would also fall into the same feature-ballpark as the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC. Keep good quality reviews coming and we'll keep up the likes!
I noticed you having the earfun air pro 3 in your bluetooth menu out of all the buds you have tetsted - means that you decided them to be one of your edc`s? thx for the video btw!
Thanks for the detailed review … sounds like a feature packed earbud and I really like the upgrade in ANC capability and battery life … I would add one thing though … the Liberty 4 NC have a single 11mm dynamic driver while the Liberty 4 and Liberty 3 Pro have dual drivers … perhaps the sound degradation with 1 driver is negligible but it’s just something to be aware of … cheers 👍
Hi Andy, it's me again! I've ordered a pair of these earbuds thanks to your reply about running and cycling, and your video, but now I have an issue with it. I don't know how could I record audio with it, cause recording doesn't work on both android and windows platforms. I tried to set hands-free as in and output on windows, but I didn't have any success. What shall I do now? Thanks in advance!
I use the Easy Voice Recorder on Android where you can select BT as source and tweak the recording quality manually. Not sure about Windows though as I don’t use it on the daily at all
First: No one should use earbuds at a volume that can be heard by people around you, unless you want to become deaf. And second: if it has noise cancellation, it works both ways, no sound gets in and no sound gets out.
The call quality and transparency mode is a problem. Men with deeper voices sound muffled and kinda fuzzy and that's how the Ambient mode sounds with all voices to me. They have a lot to offer but those issues are a deal breaker for me. Thank you for the review. 💯👍🇺🇸

exactly, mainstreams seems to just read out loud specs from marketing brouchers these days..

Glad you like the buds but you cannot blame me for everything 😂
For all, the transparency mode got better with the newest firmware update
Howz the call quality ??
Another comprehensive review Andy! 👍
Soundcore is usually good about initial feedback and firmware fixes. Wouldn't be surprised to see an update to improve transparency as many reviews point out it's not that great.
That’s what I expect to see too
They just updated i believe
Well done brother, greetings from Rep of Ireland. A great accent mate! Clear and precise
Thanks 😎
Lovely reviews! Do you prefer blue or white? I know very personal taste but wonder the blue is too childish 😢
Hi Andy
Another great vid, these do seem to be getting good reviews so far.
Really looking forward to seeing what Sony pulls out of the hat with the xm5 buds, we shall wait and see.
It’s gonna be hard to top these in terms of value no matter how great the XM5 might turn out to be
agreed
just wondering if they fit extremely small ears with small ear canals. Great in-depth review btw.
I think my ears are average to big sizes and I don't find them very comfortable. Thus, I don't think they would be a good fit for someone with small ears.
Maybe these are not the best fit for extremely small ears
Much awaited video.
Thanks a lot 😊..
another top notch review 💯
this brand is really growing FAST and doing great products at amazing prices. thanks for helpful review Andy. im waiting to see Pro version of this 4 lets see :)
No worries 😉

I have many buds with the tap-to-interact and it just seems like I get fewer misinterpreted contacts with the squeeze.
Squeeze controls can be useful for sure but at least we got great touch controls with full functionality and remapping
Well done, thanx a bunch.
Here I’ve thought they‘re called Lib… 4 NC but at 4:57 You‘ve said … 4 NSC earbuds in a quiet environment 😉
I did not say that. Or did I? 🤔
Thank you for another great review, Andy! 👍
🙏☺️

These are much better than the X10 in my opinion

@@heartborne unfortunately sports earbuds tend to be lacking in features…
Another excellent review, Andy
Thanks man 😊
Would love a comparison videos of under 100, 150 and Costly TWS earbuds from you for this year 🎉
I will definitely do some of those 👍
Which do you think is a better buy: the space a40 at €70 or the Liberty 4 nc at €85?
I never used the a40 but I don’t think you can go wrong with the L4NC for €85
Has the transparency changed after the update? Thank you!
I noticed you having the earfun air pro 3 in your bluetooth menu out of all the buds you have tetsted - means that you decided them to be one of your edc`s? thx for the video btw!
I just use the Air Pro 3 for comparisons most of the time as they used to be my favourite buds under $100. But Soundcore is the new king now…
@@AndysTechTone thank you, I ordered the liberty 4 nc, I am excited to test the anc in comparison to my daily drivers, the linkbuds s.
Thanks for the detailed review … sounds like a feature packed earbud and I really like the upgrade in ANC capability and battery life … I would add one thing though … the Liberty 4 NC have a single 11mm dynamic driver while the Liberty 4 and Liberty 3 Pro have dual drivers … perhaps the sound degradation with 1 driver is negligible but it’s just something to be aware of … cheers 👍
You don’t necessarily need a two way setup to get good sound. Most headphones and IEMs are single driver designs
Yes I’m sure engineering matters too and the single driver helps keep the cost down
Hi Andy!
I was wondering about, could it be suitable for running regarding to the comfort?
I did take these out on a run once, no issues whatsoever
@@AndysTechTone Thank you, Andy!
Hi Andy!
Can I go cycling with these?
I would not recommend that. The weak point of the buds is the transparency mode which is what you are supposed to use on a bike.
@@AndysTechTone Thanks, Andy! On the other hand, would it be comfortable for cycling, wouldn't it fall out?
@@sandorgordonlipcsei6718 yes since they've fix the transparency issue
have you tried them in the gym? Im concerned about them falling out :) GREAT VIDEO btw!!
For some casual workouts and running on the treadmill these are fine but the fit is not secure enough for more intense excercises
@@AndysTechTone Thank you!

Can u tell me about its performance when it comes to playing games? Does it have significant delay/latency or no?
You get a low latency game mode and that works well in my opinion
Gd could u help me. I have a choice to make liberty 4 NC and Xiaomi bud 4 pro. Could review Xiaomi bud 4 pro and which one is better
amazing video
Glad you think so!
Would you say that the ANC on these good for blocking out voices in an office environment?
No earbuds can completely block out random voices but these are one of the better ones for sure. Especially at this price point.
@@AndysTechToneCheers
Can you hear the music through the headphones if somebody else wears it?
First: No one should use earbuds at a volume that can be heard by people around you, unless you want to become deaf.
And second: if it has noise cancellation, it works both ways, no sound gets in and no sound gets out.

Transparency is not my favourite either but I found the voice transmission to be good
transparency is trash but youre not gonna get much better plus everything else it has for 80$
How are these vs Galaxy Bud Pro?
Different 😎
I love my earfun air pro 3 they did a really good job on them
The two earbuds are very closely matched
Tws battery only 2 hours backup,ifeel i am
born to charge these earbuds not for
use, how they say 10 hours Battery
Still waiting for your opinions on the technics az80
At this stage I’m sure I won’t test it for another month or two unfortunately…
Does it create a pressure feeling on the eardrum like Bose QC earbuds 2 ?
ive watched a bunch of reviews and no one has mentioned it. you'll probably still hear body noises since their others do too
I haven’t really noticed any pressure
Shockz openfit next!!!
😉
I bought the soundcore p20i earbuds and I then moved to the soundcore p40i.
😋 Promo sm
I dislike the design.
