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. 🙌

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.
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!😎

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.

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😁👌

Hi Mate, as always come to your channel for a new pair of buds, was using the EarFun air pro 2s but lost the case and a bud the other day, but they were terrible, tried the pro 3s a while ago but didn’t like no in ear detection. Just scrolling through your videos, and stuck between the Liberty 4NC,s, Space A40s or the EarFun Air Pro 3s again as all 3 of my list doesn’t have in ear detection, the main reason I use them is for taking and making calls outdoors in fairy noisy windy places (work) _ The soundcore pairs are both £80gbp, can get the EarFun pair for £58, which out the 3 do you honestly recommend. Are soundcores worth £22 more?

Watching some review they said you cannot control volume from the earbuds - is this true? No setting available for volume seems implausible.
Hey was thinking of buying these, but just wanted to confirm, do these earbuds support mono mode? , I searched it up and there are some reviews saying they do and don’t
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?
