I have bought the Lib 4 NC and their summary is spot on. Annoyingly I bought these for work calls and for the gym. In a very loud gym I can’t hear anything but my own music and they stay in even on a vigorous jog which most buds which aren’t sport focused don’t. Where they really fall down is the call consistency. I can make a call in a windy park and the person can hear me perfectly like im in a quiet office but when im in a room alone with silence they struggle and the person on the other end of the line can’t hear me (in most cases). It’s like Soundcore have over engineered the ANC and it’s cutting out certain frequency’s from my voice. If they can resolve this I truly think they are excellent for almost all other cases for the price! Oh yeah and the touch sensitive thing is pretty hit and miss. In addition to the above - most reviews I watched before buying these buds said the call quality was on par with AirPods, which is a complete lie. So these objective reviews are really good! New subscriber! UPDATE: Since writing the above I have continued using my NC 4’s for work calls and strangely haven’t had any problems with call quality at all. They have all been great and zoom meetings are fine too. Big improvement! Not sure what’s changed but in the interest of fairness I wanted to update this review I gave.

Another great comparison and review from my favorite dudes in the Netherlands. The Liberty 4 BC had so much promise. Until you get to there microphone implementation. I think this is where they cheap out. I’m not holding my breath as to Soundcore’s ability to be able to do anything about it. That has not been there track record in the past.
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 user. And could not be happier with them. The Jabras are a decent pick too, honestly. But I've had some QC issues with them...
Amazing video guys
I'm planning to buy a TWS...but confused between Oppo Enco X2 and Liberty 4NC. Please help me decide which one to go for. Need an overall good product between these two only...nothing specific feature.
I just got the 4 NC's but comparing them to the Liberty 3 Pros, they sound less acoustic? Like kind of 1-directional in comparison. Will probably end up returning the NC's because the L3P spoiled me with sound. I was wondering how the JBL Live Free 2's sound compared, closer to the acoustics of the Liberty's or the "flatness" of the NC's, in your experience. Thanks!
For $20 more is it worth grabbing the buds pro 2 with a non-samsung phone? Love the vids, keep it up!
What according to you has the better anc sony linkbuds s or the soundcore Liberty 4 nc
Great comparison video. With the Jabra Elite 4's at 14:08 when stated the right earbud has a challenge with wind. Is this to say that if using these in mono mode then its best to use the left earbud instead if outdoors?

Is this good for iphone 13? Because i use galaxy buds pro now but want to change new one😅
What do you recommend under $100 according to these points; I prioritise transparency (don't care much about ANC), comfort and a secure fit (important!). I also appreciate decent battery life and, if possible, good sound. I don't mind a mid mic as long as it is possible to make calls. I also don't care much about fancy stuff like multi-point. Oppinions? Thanks
I've recently learned that my Galaxy buds pro work with the experimental volume controls even on a non Samsung device. I don't know if that's because I toggled them on with a Samsung device, or if the app is just more compatible now with non Samsung devices All of that said I don't think I would choose them just because they are the most prone to accidental touches. They always require readjusting the ear.
can u guys do a review of haylou s35's? these are much cheaper than soundcore q30s and edifier w820nb's but can offer similar or even better performance with better comfort and build?

Regarding samsung ear control for volume, you can just tap at the back of your pinna, and it works every time perfectly, while tapping on the tragus area is a hit or a miss.

I tried my friend’s Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 and the music play was very good. I have myself the Earfun Air Pro 3, which are good. Not quite as crystal as the Samsung and maybe a bit too strong bass, but other than that they are great.
What's really best for phone calls with bad background noise between the anker liberty 4 & the jbl live pro 2 & galaxy buds live. I wanna make the Wright choice because I've already been thru to many claiming to be great on phone calls & blocking out background noise. It been a lie on every one. They instead enhance background noise & I'm so fed up. Please help me today so I can make a good purchase for phone calls & avoid having to return another set. This has been beyond frustrating. Please help & Thank you in advance.

Well... I bought a new jabra elite 4 active. Right earbud just went dead within a week. It just doesn't connect. I reached out to jabra, they agreed that it is the defective unit but they can't replace it as they don't operate in my country. I imported these from KSA.

in 2024 having a hard time choosing between the galaxy buds fe and the liberty 4 nc. The samsung earbuds sound much clearer but have no wireless charging or anc (and possibly a worse warranty) and the liberty 4 nc. These are much louder, they dont sound as good as the Samsung but if something goes wrong they will help you probably
serious question : should I still buy the Galaxy buds 2 if I have a pixel or go for something else?
Just about sound quality, JBL Pro 2 vs Liberty 4 NC, who is the winner ❤
SoundCore Liberty 4 NC did not fit on my ear , it hurt but the buds fe were fantastic. thinking about a buds 2 pro also ... buds fe sound is lacking probably cause of the missing tweeter! buds 2 pro on the list soon!
I love this content style because jt really clears up what each bud is good at thanks to your thorough descriptions. Looking forward ti your premium video but im wondering if you havr a video comparing upper mid range buds? The enco x2s are mg current pick to purchase soon and at least the soundcore liberty 4 nc was a pair of buds i would have preferred but cannot get. The other buds on this list seem to ejther be good at sound or anc and battery but the anc and transparency comparison is what will determine for me because the oppos already sound fantastic and likely better than these buds and watch hether or not the anc and transparency are vetter or slightlu worse determin e if i will get the encos as my only issue with them is battery life.
So those JBL's are definitly best on ANC right

I’m actually surprised why a lot of reviews say Sony has bad nc. I work at the airport and the best earbuds out of these has been the Sony 700s. Maybe they did an update since this review but, when there’s a plane coming in I can barely hear the turbine compared to the soundcores. Also the soundcores control the wind horribly. Wearing the Sonys I hear no wind at all. Maybe the only thing bad with the Sony is the mics when talking but then again I hear no complain about it either. If you guys are testing noise canceling in a quiet room it’s true the Sony don’t really have a lot of nc. But in a really loud area the Sony are the best. Jbl also has really good nc. I’m surprised people like the soundcores they are trash. And also sound like trash. Sometimes I feel like people are in soundcores pockets.

Firstly a shout-out to DHRME for being one of the most independent honest reviews out there. Secondly, and related to @avs040288 comment. I have not had issues with the call quality YET. My Liberty 3's died so I bought the 4 and then a week later saw the release discount on the NC, so I've got all three. I did 1-hour calls with the two people using the 4 and the NC starting at home, walking on the road with traffic, through a park with loads of kids playing (voice), and so on. They both said I sounded great and the same on both buds. I'm loud so it may align with DHRME's hypothesis for voice volume and tone. I have not used the NC on a Teams call yet, so we'll see. Regarding Transparency mode. The 4 boosts the outside sounds too much (loud), which is OK when my music is loud walking outside. However, I can hear a train .3 miles away or a plane above and they come in way too loud. The NC on the other hand is softer but with no music more realistic, with music cars do need to get closer to really hear but it's fine. I can use the transparency on the NC in the office just fine for calls. I have to use ANC in the 4 in the office calls because the transparency is louder than the person on the phone. NC sounds louder and punchier than the 4 at the same volume to me, but I've got some lower frequency hearing loss in my right ear. While they both sound fine, I'm reminded of how much better a bud can sound when I pop my old LyperteK Tevi back on. It's a shame no one can really get it all working together at the $99 price range but I guess that's what keeps us buying new ones. Again - really appreciate DHRME reviews!
