Here's Anker's official response the issue raised in this video. I'll update you guys when I receive the replacement unit to let you know whether it still has savage audio hiss or not. Some people report that the overall volume of the earbuds have been dropped in replacement units in an effort to reduce audio hiss, so I'll be reporting back on that too. There's also reports that the hiss is still present, but slightly improved on replacement units too. Here's what they said, (read below their e-mail for my thoughts): - ANKER'S RESPONSE - "Dear Mark, We are aware of a minor batch issue affecting less than 1% of customers who have purchased Liberty 2 Pro. The issue itself regards abnormal levels of “background noise”. Please rest assured, the issue has been rectified and for the minute number of customers that have been affected, we will obviously honor the Soundcore 18-month warranty and arrange an exchange if your headphone is not the newest version. For the warranty issues, please first provide the following information: - A screenshot or pdf of the invoice confirming the order number from the item's purchase (or a picture of the receipt if it was bought from the store) - The SN#, printed on the USB-C charging cap as the attachment shows (looks something like "SN: AC3ETM0826502043"). If you can't find the SN, a photo of the product with the Soundcore logo showing will suffice instead. - Your current shipping address. Apologies again for the inconvenience." - MY THOUGHTS - So there you go - audio hiss is confirmed by Anker be present in *apparently*, less than 1% of all units of the Liberty 2 Pro. But if that's true, how come that when I bought the Soundcore Liberty 2 (non-pro version) to review, they also have brutal audio hiss as well? With a less than 1% chance of getting a unit with audio hiss and having bought these two products months apart, what are the odds of that happening? Seriously? If you didn't get a unit with audio hiss, then great! But as someone who reviews products that people might actually go on to buy with their own hard-earned cash, I can't recommend products with a reasonable chance of being defective. And from my experience with two separate models, having read tons of reviews and had responses from you guys, it seems like a lot more than a 1% chance. If you guys would like me to make a follow-up video when I receive the replacement unit then feel free to let me know. Happy new year!

Hi, I also went through three of the Soundcore Liberty Pro 2 (two were replacements) and they all had the hissing noise. I wasn't able to listen to music at lower volumes due to this so I sent them all back. This the email response I received: Anker's RESPONSE: "According to the serial number provided, we notice that the unit you have is indeed our newest version. Due to the limitation of the current Qualcomm platform, the noise cannot be solved completely at this moment. Our team has also tried hard to balance the volume and sound quality for this newest version. Surely we will keep working for the improvement, and we will keep you posted if we have a newer version available. Would that be acceptable? Or we are more than glad to assist you with a refund right away. ".

I'm so glad I didn't listen to you and took most other reviewers recommendations and purchased 2 pairs of these, no audio hiss at all, great sound better than airpod Pro and a lot of over ear headsets these are punching way way above its price point easily the best wireless ear buds on the market. And believe me I've tried a lot and tried to actually get this hiss you mentioned on every volume setting and equaliser setting and the hiss is not there. Buy these you will all regret it if you get something else.

Here’s my take, best value for the money and best sound. I have bought every ear bud combination out there and the sound on the ankers are amazingly true. Highs to mid ranges are excellent, but what really caught my ear was the right bass. It’s important you fit the buds correctly for sound, to lose and your sound dissipates, to tight and your ear buds will be uncomfortable. Took about 40 minutes working the combination before my fit was perfect. Had these for 13 months and love them. No hiss what’s so ever on my pair. I am using an iPhone 12 Pro and 10r... I will admit the microphone is t the best, calls are okay, but I bought my buds for music not phone calls.

It's not as insane as the people reacting to make it seem. But I agree it shouldn't really be there. Having said that I don't think I will ever listen to these earphones lower then 75% so it will never be an issue for me. When no audio is playing you don't hear it at all.

I have had no issues with these, no hiss on my pair. I personally think these are the best sounding pair of all that I’ve tested. I’ve tested the 1More Stylish, which are my backup pair, the Sony MX1000, the Jabra 75T. Both the Sony’s and Jabra were returned in favor of these. I love the app that lets me tune these have ever I want. I was able to pick these up with a coupon code that gave me 30% off at Christmas, so compared to the price of the Sony and Jabra’s, I’m smiling. I like the physical buttons on the back, this allows me to avoid tapping the earbud further into my ear. My wish for these is the addition of ANC and pass through in a future version.

I appreciate the honesty you had for the 1st unit of these earbuds you got. As I've had these, I did also get a unit that had an annoying hiss and don't blame you for assuming that to be the case for the majority of the units. After changing it, I did get another pair and it is the best sounding earbuds for the price.

No hiss, sound amazing. Best ear buds I've every heard. Period. I bought some Q30 headphones too, equally impressed with these after initial teething issues, rectified by replacement and software upgrade.

2:55 - I'm with you on the size. Even if the size is absolutely necessary the shape itself just bothers me. How far they stick out of the ear, the weird button placement... I'm not a fan. I just bought a pair online and they'll be here next weekend, so I'm looking forward to a nice rich bassy profile. I listen to mostly edm so I think they should be good for that.

@@mortred3466 the simple fact that you made a comment on a two year old post speaks for itself.

Hey man, excellent review. I have a question whether the soundcore liberty 2 pro earphones hiss during phone calls or meetings...

1. Size. It's about the same as Sony WF-1000XM3 and definitely smaller than Bose Sound Sport Free so no, it's not really that big. 2. Touch Control. It's personal preference. You said you can't justify this price point without touch control but there are lots of people who prefer actual button due to more accuracy. Not to mention the L2P button is easier to press than Bose SSF and I've always had problems with the XM3 touch control even though that thing costs me $230+tax ($250 total). 3. The hiss. When I first bought the L2P a month ago, I spent 3 days looking for the hiss while listening to music and watching movies but couldn't find any. However, I found a little hiss hear and there with some applications later on. First, the GPS. it has a little hiss for a split second before the notification. The hiss was loud enough to suppress the first word of the notification. For example, if the GPS told me "Turn left on 1th Street", I wouldn't hear the word "Turn" at all because of the hiss. This might be annoying if you're using GPS all the times but it's not a deal breaker for me. Second, I found the hiss during a messenger calls. It happened when I used Facebook messenger to call someone overseas. However, this seems to be a random problem because it doesn't happen every time that I made a call unlike on the GPS. One thing though, when I used the same app to call someone domestically, there's no hiss at all. Again, not a deal breaker. Third, I can hear the hiss when I scroll down Facebook app with the sound on within the app. These are the three cases that I found the hiss. Other than that, my L2P doesn't have any hiss at all. 4. The sound. I have so many pairs of tws including Bose Sound Sport Free, B&O E8 2.0 and Sony WF-1000XM3. I can confirm that the L2P is not inferior to those at all. In fact, I just compare sound quality of the L2P and my old Shure SE315 side by side and believe it or not, I prefer the L2P sound better because it has more clarity in mid and high while the SE315 (which I haven't pick it up may be over 2 years) sounds a lot warmer. Anyway, sound quality is very subjective so it's hard to convince people how great this thing sounds unless they could hear it for themselves. But before anyone judges the L2P for sound quality, please try out the HearID first. It's certainly makes a difference.

Hi, do you planning to make review for 'Liberty Air 2' soon. I am planning to buy it but before doing that i only want hear your opinions about it.

Just received my new Liberty 2 Pro, absolutely no hiss at all, nothing. I'm using the earbuds with a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 and the audio quality is simply astonishing, never, NEVER had such an unbelievable quality in a wireless earbuds. Paid 99 euros on amazon, fantastic!

I've had mines for 2 months and have yet to have any sound problems no hiss at all and I love the sound but you are entitled to your opinion. Did you update them I've had 2 updates to the software since I've had them?

Thank you for your informative review. I wish I had found your clip a few weeks ago.

So what do you recomend mr ??

Mine are just fine, no hiss, love them!

Yeah, had mine for a year and love them. They have 2 drivers inside, one of which is 11mm, I expect them to be larger. I wear mine working and fishing and have never had to worry about them falling out of my ears unlike the Liberty Air 2's. I'm not sure how your audio quality ended up so poor. I use mine to take verbal notes while I'm working and the playback is great, I also have a relatively loud work van and people can hear me talking on the other side. You really seem to harp on the touch controls on these. That is the preference for many.

What's funny is I recently had a pair of simple Liberty 2's, and they had a tiny bit of hiss. I looked far past that because they had the greatest sound quality out of any other earbuds in that price range, including wired. They unfortunately disappeared one day, so I bought the Liberty 2 Pros.

Thanks for another great review. Perhaps do a comparison review on Jabra Elite 75T and Jaybird Vista? I have Jaybird Vista but disappointed with its volume level. Vista just can't get loud enough. Would love your review on Jabra Elite 75T to see if it's better than Vista. TIA

These ear buds are very good for the right application - even with hiss. They fit so well, are super comfortable and sound great at volume. I prefer the buttons over the unreliable touch. Due to the hiss I couldn't recommend these for listening at low volumes - but for music - while out and about - I have decided to keep them anyways. The sound isolation is very good (I have used these around power tools as hearing protection in a pinch). The microphones aren't a high priority for my use case but I have found that turning OFF one of the buds completely (hold the button for 5 seconds) and you end up with excellent microphone performance - if not a little bit too sensitive. When used in stereo mode - the microphone sounds poor as the noise cancellation is too aggressive and sounds muted and over processed (the noise cancellation is the reason why you can't separate the buds as they require that both sets of microphones can hear the sound source (your voice) to determine if it is noise or not). PS... a Custom EQ CAN be setup and saved as presets (as tested on my Galaxy S10e running Android 10).

I'm kind of curious, you said you were going to video review the replacement pair. So far nothing. That being said, I thought I had an issue with them. Then I decided like a normal person should, to disable my built in EQ on my phone. Night and day difference is a understatement. Curious if you tried the same?

Do these have multipoint so they can connect with more than 1 device at a time? Can you do a review on earphones that do have multipoint? This feature is a must for me but it’s very difficult to find any that have it. Thanks!!

Anyway to know if these go up as loud as the liberty air 2? Volume is important to me, and these look great, bit I wanna make sure I get good volume with that good sound.

I’m thinking about getting these, mainly for working out, any apple earbuds out of the question for me, for the price I thinks there’s better options for cheaper or about the same price.

Thanks for the heads up! I was really considering buying it if not for the audio hiss...

When I save up a bit of cash, I'm going to grab me a set of these. I really liked the audio demo of the ear buds. I think they sounded really good. Anker has great customer service and if anyone had problems, I'm sure they would help you fix it.

I just bought these and I do not have that issue. Not sure why but i can not create it or for all my trying , not hear the hiss. Maybe they fixed it ? I dont know but as an audiophile crazy, I really am blown away from this earbuds.

To Mr KWD I have a pair of the anker earbuds, and besides the size issue I could not disagree with you more. I'm not sure what device your streaming with but I don't have any hiss from my iPhone 11 at all. The sound is absolutely fantastic from low volume to maxed out. They are large but as you state very comfortable as well. I have tried the Sony 1000 noise cancelling headphones, in comparison almost 3 times as much money and returned them. Just as large sound was fine but not very loud at all. Same with the Klipsch T5 good sound if lacking a good bass response but constantly fell out and poor ear seal for twice the price. My Jaybird vistas are a comparable set of earbuds for sound and fit. Battery life isn't as good as the Soundcores though. This is of course totally my opinion and do like the thorough review you did.

I have held back from buying these headphones for months now because of the various reports on the audio hiss. A couple of days ago I decided to take the plunge and I bought them. They sound absolutely awesome. To be honest I haven't heard anything this good for ages. The sound feels like it's coming from inside your head, not from your ears. the bass hits hard and fast down to the lowest of sub-bass frequencies. The mids are well defined and natural and the highs are crisp, defined and delicate without ever being too harsh. Soundstage and dynamic range are exceptional too.

Hi mate, I've just today tried a new pair and did the update and the low hiss with a pitch sound started. I removed the right one and noticed the hiss in that ear continued. I removed the left and the same. My conclusion for myself at least is the sound I'm hearing is Tinnitus perhaps exacerbated by using the liberty 2 pro's at a higher volume. Maybe this is the issue with a greater number of users

Got these yesterday after trying (and regretting) the Raycon e55 earbuds. I will say that the Raycons are by far the most comfortable earbuds I've ever experienced, but they are utter garbage in sound quality compared to the Liberty 2 pros. I'm happy to say that there is no hiss on mine, whether before, during or after audio playback. I only wish they were a little more comfortable and innocuous-looking. Seems like I'll forever have to make the choice between comfort, looks, and sound quality.

Senheizer momentum tws vs liberty 2 pro which is better in quality and bass?

I had the sony WF-1000xm3 (lost them) and also have the wh-1000xm3. Ive been telling everyone for a year now that the wh-1000xm3 has been the best purchase I have made in a long time (still is but the liberty 2 pros might have topped them). I like the earbuds for when I ride my scooter so I needed to buy a new pair after loosing the sony wh-1000xm3s. I purchased the liberty 2 pros a couple months ago and let me tell you sound quality wise they blow the wf-1000xm3s away. Honestly I prefer the sound of the liberty 2 pros over the wh-1000xm3s. I honestly cant handle how good these things sound. I am in love with the bass on these things. You can make them sound unreal using the custom EQ in the app. I have no hiss whatsoever. I have connected them to my pixel 4, galaxy s10, and computer and have had no hiss whatsoever. If I did get the hiss I would return them and get another pair because these things blow everything away. Also, for wireless buds these things get LOUD! Who would expect from a company like Anker.....Just a great great great product and wish this guy would have returned his for a non defective model. It's a damn shame.

I don't experience the persistent hiss you speak of, but maybe I got a newer, fixed version?

Received a pair today... ZERO hiss. Although there were not as loud as I had hoped on the signature setting. After switching to acoustic they fared much better for my taste.

They sound incredible and feel great. The con is the SO ANNOYING blinking light (terrible if you're in a dark room) if you're just browsing (without playing a song or a video) but they're connected on your phone. Irritates me

Can you review the new Samsung Galaxy Buds + and how it compares to these earbuds. Thanks

Hello, really nice and detailed review as always. Any chance you can review “ehx r&b buds”? Thanks!

So is the conclusion that if you hear hiss, contact Anker, get them replaced and hope for the best? Because I've been strongly interested in these earbuds. I wasn't crazy about how voice sounds but I don't depend on earbuds for calls per se anyway. It would be for my cell phone or even gaming on my pc.

I just placed an order for these Bluetooth earbuds. Will touch base with Soundcore on the version being shipped. Thanks for this video

Hi Soundcore by Anker Life A2 vs Liberty 2 Pro Upgraded Version , What is better sound and Spec , any detail help Thank you

I feel the same as you. Noticeable hiss at that price is not acceptable. I listen to lots of genres, rock, hip hop and metal it would be fine playing loud but listening to a jazz or blues album quietly would be not good. I've tried a couple of Soundcore headphones recently (Q10 and Liberty 2) and they dont come anywhere close to my LGG7 with quaddac and a good wired headphone. With these liberty 2 Pro I wish they would have went for AptxHD to have a little more bitrate and less noise to over standard Aptx. I have the Soundcore motion + Bluetooth speaker and after playing with the custom EQ I love it. Too bad they cant get the headphones as good as their high-end BT speakers. Sadly a high percentage of people are rating all the Anker Soundcore headphones really high and the have nothing to compare to or listen to loud fast pace music all the time I would guess. Amazon reviews are the last place anyone should look for audio quality. I've been burned many many times with audio products that are just awful sounding.

Great review! I was set to get these after buying the liberty 2 which also suffer from really bad white noise however they do deliver an excellent audio experience when listening to music. Can you suggest an alternative that delivers the same great fit, playback time and sound stage but without the hiss?

Just got a pair, I tried a pair of audio technica and the Jabdra active 65t...... I gotta say I am super impressed!!!! The sound is amazing, pairing was not as easy as AirPods but they sound so much better. Most importantly for me is that they stay in, you don’t feel them when they are in place .

It’s by no means audiophile quality as the sound profile was far from being flat with high dynamic precision. However for sport and fun beat they are alright. No hiss on my pair. Have you updated the firmware?

I received mine a few days ago and I don't hear any hiss with mine. Maybe it happens only with some device combinations? I used a Pixel 3 and a Windows desktop, and listened to music (mp3, flac and streaming), not audio books. I was also using the Soundcore app with the piano equalizer preset. Even with the volume turned up during quiet parts, I still could not hear any hiss. Given the number of people who have reported hiss, I'm sure it does occur under certain conditions and/or with some units. From my experience, though, with my unit and my usage, I don't hear any hiss.

Please, u need to use HearID after testing the default signature EQ. Some say it is not better, but when it works, it ups the sound considerably

I’ve had these for about a year? And I have loved them, sometimes minor issues connecting with my iphone.(sometimes have to connect it manually in settings) amazing sound, great eq, I’ve taken them in the shower many times (not directly in water) and never had any issues do not listen to this man. Buy them.

I really would recommend that you review the TRANYA Rimor earbuds next.

I just got the TRANYA Rimor earbuds today and to be completely honest with you I’m not impressed at all with them and unfortunately I will be returning them. They sound very hollow to me and the bass just isn’t there.

@@LukeMtech55 nah that's ok. I totally understand. I did mention that they didn't have much bass. ( especially compared to the liberty 2 pro's ) I mean they do but it's not super heavy. To me they got better with different rubber ear tips But at higher volume aswell. They are more for clarity than bass and craziness. Sorry you didnt like them. Its actually refreshing to see the opposite instead of the constant positive feedback that is on Amazon. It truly goes to show that everyone DOES have different hearing and taste. Nonetheless, atleast you can return them. Its hard to expect anything else outside of the liberty 2 Pro headphones since those are so damn awesome. I like different earbuds for different sounds and so I like the Rimor earbuds for that vocal clarity. The mids and highs are great. Hoping you did infact get the Rimor earbuds lol. Tranya has so many bass heavy earbuds and it was reshreshing to see a pair more for clarity and not muddy. Sorry again.✌😎 To add tho. I did buy different silicone rubber ear tips from a different manufacturer that are made with a different slightly more rigid rubber. To me the rubber tips that come with the RIMOR earbuds are TOO soft. They crumble in my ear so they don't create that good a seal. Before returning them, try taking some of the extra earbud tips your soundcore liberty buds came with and swap them for the stock Rimor tips. Then see how that works.

Should've watched this before I bought them lol. The hiss is getting worse are there earbuds that have same or higher quality minus the hiss?

Which is the best tws in terms of microphone.

I love these earbuds.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you that the buds look reminiscent of the older, bullet style Bluetooth earbuds of the early-mid 2000s. That said, they’re not THAT big dude. They’re similar in size to the coveted Sony noise cancelling earbuds. For sound quality and battery life alone, these are a steal.

Haha, I definitely don't miss those bluetooth headsets! Of course I'm not saying that these are literally the *biggest* wireless earbuds in existence, but if you compare them to 90% of ANY true wireless earbuds, the L2Ps will always be larger in size by a reasonable margin. Yes, agreed - they are definitely comparable in size to the Sonys. And if you can't call the L2Ps/Sony's huge - being literally two of the biggest wireless earbuds out there - I feel like you're not allowed to call anything big! Hope that makes sense.

mrkwd - tech guy The only thing is you called them unnecessarily big but you have to realize that having two different speakers in that small of a package requires it. Now the Liberty 2s are too big because of the lack of tech. But the size of the Pros is certainly necessary.

What is better anker soundcore liberty 2 pro or aukey t10?

Which wireless ear buds have the loudest and best bass??

In my country ive read reviews from customers, many complaining about the hiss and the poor microphone quality, but overall best sound for both bass and regular audio

Thanks for the review but, these are awesome! Sound is magnificent.

I bought these today i can notice audio slight hiss when sound is not played but the bass and sound quality is just amazing

Using these right now and love them

I have these and while there is a hiss, its bare minimum. One that you'll only notice if you concentrate hard enough. I did find out in head-fi about the hiss problem prior to getting these but I believe mine is the second batch (got them in AliE during the 11.11 sale. Prior to that Anker seemed to have suspended sales. I believe this is to prepare the second batch in time for 11.11). The third batch supposedly eliminates the hiss problem. But email the CS and ask for a replacement. People at head-fi recommends that if the hiss is unbearable. Good luck!

Thank you for a detail review and especially to include the mic test, since nowadays mic one most important factor to decide a good earphones for mobile phone.

No problem!

I am able to adjust and customize the eq in the app. Not sure why you weren't able too

I've used all 3 of the Liberty 2 earbuds, and currently I'm using these, the Liberty 2 Pro's, and they sound better bar FAR than any other bud I've ever tested, with no audio hiss at all. Also, you actually can adjust the EQ settings when you set the hear ID, it let's you set them if you have custom settings.

What's your verdict after a year of owning them?

I started with JBuds Air Exclusive, bummed up to the Galaxy Buds and then upgraded to the Liberty Pro 2's. The Pro 2's offered a way better sounds experience hands down. The size is not big in my opinion and they look very good in the ear. I'm a huge audiophile and once I setup Ear ID it was a wrap!!!! The "White Noise" isn't a factor because you don't hear it when your listening to music. My calls sound Crystal clear so not sure why yours sounds choppy but it must be your phone. Liberty Pro 2's are a BREAST!

How many Latency ms have this Wireless ( Liberty 2 pro) for Play video game and Video?

You definitely notice the hiss when the music is paused but it's not loud enough to really bother you unless of course, your ears are sensitive to that type of frequency. honestly probably one of the best bang for buck headphones i ever purchased, due to sound quality and fit. missing features but i mainly use them for listening to music during work and workouts other than that I'm mostly on my computer with over-ear headphones or in my car. It would be interesting to see how the pro 3's do.

Bought a pair of these 03/08/2020. I was worried about the reported foibles. Thankfully no hiss in mine. Did a firmware update before listening. Not sure if this is what cured the hiss but I have none. Steely Dan's Aja album remastered is what I use as a reference when comparing headphones. For equalization I started with the flat setting and after several hours of trying different profiles I found that if you choose the custom EQ setting and set the individual presets flat across the spectrum that this reveals the best sound even when compared to the "flat" preset. Not sure why that is. Wow. Easily the best I've heard in an in ear and I don't make that statement lightly. They get everything right and they flesh out details that I've not heard in a couple different tracks before. They're bass heavy like all wireless sets seem to be but it's very articulate bass that allows you to follow a bass line and man, they're super articulate and rhythmic with palpable kick and drive and they reach into the layers of the mix to a level that's very rare, whether it's highs, mid range or bass. There is no reticence here. It's all present and very clear. If you get a pair without the hiss issue, there are simply none better.

This or Q30 which is better?

I think the Sound in general is fine. Maybe im wrong but i think the highs are a bit "metallic". Just a little little bit?

I really enjoyed the sound sample of the ear buds. I thought music sounded really good. I could really hear the bass and other instruments while wearing my headphones. The call quality wasn't the best, but I haven't found an ear bud yet that does have good call quality. Grab yourself a set of these, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. When I buy myself a set of these, I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

Dude, I'm glad you like 'em, too. I want them 90% for calls, and only 10% for music. :) Too many people shitting on every review I look at. >.>

Bought them for $100 at best buy. Worth every penny and best headphones I've ever had! Other companies want 2x as much for the same quality. Anker has a customer for life!

There is an updated version of the soundcore app giving you individual EQ adjustments!

Connection with iPhone X - was not a problem. BUT I can't connect with my MacBook Pro - after connection to Soundcore Liberty 2 pro bluetooth ask about connection to Soundcore Liberty 2 pro-L.... and nothing works: if I press connect - can't connect, if I ignore - sound is very bad, quiet an every 4-5 second disappear for 1-2 sec. I try to reset - doesn't help(

I can get these rn for £60. Or should I get the life a2 nc for £60? I'm looking for earbuds I can use for running and biking with good awareness mode and a comfortable fit.

What is biking 🤭 you mean cycling 🤪

I know a lot of people are fuming over any negative reviews on these but I have to agree with you first off IPX4 rated is terrible the cheaper option is IPX5 and the size of these remind me of Bose. One of my favorite reviewers Gamsky prefers the liberties not the pros there is just so much competition these days it's a great time to be alive 😁 were all different so thanks for your reviews and your hard work.🙂

Is that provides best sound quality like apple airpods pro

I went back an listened to the sound examples on your video, after you mentioned the audible hiss. I did not hear the hiss on those examples.

what's your sound demo rig? Mine sounds great, nothing close to your sound demo

Fair enough. What is your favorite pair?

Thanks for such an awesome review. Made my decision much easier. It would be great if you can share the tracks you've used for audio testing. especially the 1st One (Track rich in highs). Sounds so relaxing! Thanks Mate
