I recently took advantage of the Amazon Prime deals, and picked myself up a set of Soundcore Life A1's... Being a bit of an 'Audiophile' so to speak and thus preferring to use wired and over ear headphones, it was my first venture into 'Ear buds' since I was using a cassette walkman MAAAAAAANY moons a go (I then went onto Minidisc players... And being a bit dubious about sound quality, I decided to just go budget price initially... And, after watching a few reviews, yup, these 'Life A1's? Bloody 'ell! They are actually pretty darned good for the price! (£25) - 9Hours play time plus another 26 hours charge in the case, 3 built in sound modes in the buds, IPX7, supports single bud audio, wireless/USB C charging and more.. I went for the Life A1's as earbuds tend to fall out whilst working under my car, hence going for something 'With Wings' (lol 😉). I DID have a little fiddle about swapping the silicone tips and wings to get best fit, but, for what they cost, yeah, colour me impressed! So, maybe, I might just go bigger in price with some Sennheiser/Bose/Sony's etc (WILL NEVER BUY APPLE). I only bought these earbuds for sort of everyday p!ssing about, working on my car, going shopping etc, as my 'Proper' listening is done at home with any of my other proper cans (Meze 99 Neo, Sennheiser HD600/PXC550-II (still pretty good for wireless/BT), Sony MDR7506 and a coupla others... So yeah, IF, you can't even afford £/$100 but do still want a good earbud setup, I CAN recommend the Life A1 by Soundcore. Seems like Anker know what they're doing building budget/reasonably priced, but great sounding, feature rich 'Ear wonders' 👍😊 😎🇬🇧

I have a set of liberty 3 pros and use them for noise cancellation and isolation when I'm mowing or on the tractor. They are fantastic as well.

Per usual, Thanks for the damned good vid. Ill be using your link next week. Good timing too; my LG-tone-fp9 aren't what I'd hoped for.

I bought these on the strength of your review and they are superb, fit really nicely and the sound is fantastic. Great quality too..

Excellent job + review! ...even when your hands are full! If we put items in our wishlist do you still get credit once we decide to purchase or is there a time limit?

Ordered yesterday received today wow. They are the best I've ever heard great great sound.

Great review as usual Paul, I have a set of the libery air 2 Pro which are in my opinion very good. They have a feature to set up the eq for each ear bud individually as most peoples left and right ears perceive sound differently... Do these new ones also have this feature ?

That sound effect for the bee farting into a bucket sounded amazing... on my Galaxy Buds Pro 😁👍

@paulhibbert Forgot to update this post. I ended up buying some with a bit of a discount direct from Anker. Really pleased with them! If you’re a iPhone only user getting them to support HiFi audio codecs for laptop connectivity requires an android device to enable, which is a bit of a pain. It’s also worth noting that this disables multipoint audio capability. Sound quality is amazing. Build quality is very good, though they don’t feel quite as premium in the hand as the AirPods Pro. Base is good. Noise cancelling is also very good though harsher than AirPods Pro. Over all, very very happy with these! They pair very well (both over Bluetooth and visually) with my blue Lenovo Yogabook 9i. The biggest gripe over all is not anything to do with the buds or Anker, but actually for the fairly crappy implementation of Bluetooth across Windows devices. Most devices and Bluetooth stacks don’t support the LDAC HiFi audio codec which renders these no better than regular earbuds. You need to buy the Alternative A2DP driver from www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/ if your Bluetooth stack doesn’t support LDAC.

Fantastic show so with that said, I'm happily subscribed now..... the buds themselves, I ordered them same day on Amazon yesterday and delivered in the afternoon. Honestly, I was obviously hoping for the best but the story here is that these buds are simply amazing and far exceed anything I kinda expected. The buds, the app and just the overall quality in the experience blows right by the price point and puts it in much higher company. Great video & outstanding product, sincere thanks!

Good video. I have a very old pair of bluetooth earbuds by JLab, they refuse to die (after at least 4 years), but when they do, these seem like a very good replacement. 😍

Waiting for it. Just ordered in Amazon

Great video. However would be good to reference against the Bose Quietcomfort 2, sony wf-1000xm4 and AirPods Pro 2 because you mention these are better than all other earbuds but surely not these more premium ones?

I bought both the Status Between 3ANC and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, I really wanted to like the Status, but after trying the both, I liked the bass better on the Bose, and also found the noise cancelling was better, and found the Bose to be much more comfortable and better fitment, let me know what you think, if you own or plan on getting.... great vid as always..

Got these on the Prime Day offer and am absolutely in love. Have the Life P2 and those things were amazing and have lasted me a long time (bought them in Feb 2020, so yeah can't complain) so I wanted to stick to Soundcore but get NC, and hot damn!

i have the soundcore liberty 3 pro buds and they are great used them for 6months now and no dislikes at all

I have a pair of Soundcore P3 and love them.

glad to see they've got rid of the sliding lid on the case. Had a pair about 1.5-2years ago, amazing sound but the case was constantly coming open in my pocket and bag.

Well, this makes me feel really good about my Prime Day purchase of the Anker Space A40s. I can't wait for them to get here after seeing this video.

I love soundcore buds though I have had some durability issues they sound awesome.

Hey Paul, any possibility to compare them to the Sony WF-1000 XM4 buds? Love your work!

I've got a pair of Liberty Pro Air 2's and I love the sound of them, but I find them to be the most fiddly of earbuds to wear. Never managed to get them to fit properly for more than half an hour at a time. Tried all of the various tips and just can't get them to stay in. I still keep going back to my very old Shure Se530's which is great while phones have 3.5mm plugs. A while back I picked up a cheap set of KZ IEM's with the bluetooth adaptor. They're fine audio wise., but very comfortable. My current go to bluetooth earbuds are Technics AZ60's. Really comfortable and they sound great especially with LDAC enabled. Recently stuck some Comply foam eartips on them. So comfy.

PMSL that last clip of you head banging, one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time 😂🤣😂🤣 Ps great review by the way Paul, as always. Keep up the great work 💪👍

Happy Saturday Paul, great review. I love Soundcore products, but it would take something for me to change my Apple AirPods.

I really wanted to like the soundcores they sounded great but they did not easily transfer from one device to another. Which for me is a must! (Of course I posted this comment right before you brought up the Bluetooth on these ones) I might have to look at soundcore again!

I got similarly speced Donner earbuds for $50. I am having the same experiences with them as you describe with these. Granted I am a little older and my hearing is probably not as good as yours, but I'd be curious to know what you think about the Donnors.

Hey Paul, I would love to see you review the shokz bone conduction earphones and compare them to you vast collection 👍

I have the soundcore Life 2 NC and they're awesome

I agree on the pixel buds. Pretty quiet, but that probably means i listen at the volume i should rather thanbthe usual ear drum damaging volume

I have a soundcore Bluetooth headset and a speaker and absolutely love them.

The other day I was searching through TK Maxx's clearance area and low and behold there at the back of the rail was a Soundcore Note life 3 ear bud box. I remembered watching this video sometime back and the great review you gave to soundcore buds. These were £12 in clearance while Currys were still selling them for £107, which are very over priced. All I can say is thank you these are fantastic. I never thought I would get away with ear buds and to tell you the truth they were going to be a stepping stone to a more big brand pair if I could get away with them. Not any more these are for keeps!

A great vid! I love my AirPods Pro 2. They sound so good imo

You sent the video to sound core and told you about the anc? So they reviewed the video before posting it? Good to know!

You know what would be a good idea? An overlay on the waveform of the actual audio spectrum with the ear buds one. How do we know if the waveform is accurate to your audio without a reference? Sat night and a few rums in, I am watching this video with no interest in the ear buds but because I enjoy your videos, but the engineer comes out in me still (PS I secretly watch for cameos of wifey),

No joke featuring Ben Stiller. These must be phenomenal. Is this gonna replace their pro model.

My soundcores are now a couple of years old, cost me £50 and still sound brilliant

I like my Soundcore Life A3i earbuds. $30! And they're great!

I never got the notification on this one? Luckily I went through my list.

I got my air pods pro in 2021 and they're giving me issues with like mic feedback making clicky sounds, and now the battery only lasts 4 hours at best before the earbud dies on me. I'm seriously considering the soundcores

There’s a huge improvement with the Pro after upgrading from the original AirPods. From other reviews, the second gen Pro is supposedly a step up again, especially with respect to noise cancellation, but I’ve not had the chance to try them.

I'll admit that I'm no audiophile. I can hear down to about 17Hrz and up to 24KHz (which is pretty amazing on my fast-approaching-septuagenarian OEM ears) however, I lack much of the aesthetic capacity to judge all that sound I can hear. So, I have to trust people who have that capacity such as yourself. (This is a somewhat long-winded way of saying "Thanks for doing the review") I can, however, judge that the sound in my own Soundcore buds is not muddled and sounding like apian flatulence. I can also judge that the battery life is quite good and more than adequate for my needs. So in that I agree with your assessments. The other thing that I like about the Soundcore products is that they're not priced so high that when I certain significant other of mine looses one in the garden, I can be a bit philosophical about replacing it. Thanks for your review. Fun and informative as always. P.S. I did appreciate your anticipating a few of your likely comments and applying the appropriate rubber chicken to their face. Well done.

My Jabra earbuds are pretty solid. Almost 2 years, still going strong.

I have not jumped ship from soundcore and have no intention they are really good.

Are the 4NC's better than the 3 procs and Liberty 4s? Wanna get a pair at Black Friday prices,

In the Amazons, you can definitely hear the 3 kHz that is it dangerous dangerous frequencies to have a boost. Eddie Van Halen used to have a sign that said “No 3K”.that’s the reason. Kind of harsh.

The problem I have with earbuds is that they all work themselves out of my ears. Despite me changing the earplug sizes to no avail.

Do you want to say that calls on Sony LinkBuds S are better? I am having the them as well but I am dissapointed since the ANC is not working when I am in the call and sidetone is constantly running that makes that I can't hear person in the call as I am interrupted by the noise outside? I also hear some white noise as soon as I start the call...I am not really impressed with the microphone quality of Sony LinkBuds. Are you earbuds beahving the same as mine?

Liberty 4 ANC or sony wf- c700 or jpl tune230 ? Plzzzz My prefrences are sound quality, call, battery, anc

Not wishing to disparage Derek in any way but for me the most important part of getting the best sound out of any in ear phones is the seal on the tips. All these earpods rely on creating a reverb box in your ear to get the bass sound so holding the phones up to Dereks microphones is not going to give anything like the sound you hear when they're properly fitted. Also would be nice if you could include a detail that I never see covered - you demonstrated the sound from the microphone but recorded in your studio. I'd like to hear how they perform in a noisy environment - my wife banned me from using my Tronsmart Apollo phones which have good sound for the cost but the microphones pick up and amplify ambient noise on a call so that it's really intrusive. My replacements - Samsung galaxy buds2 are excellent in this and sound pretty good too to me even if you're not a fan.

0:30 I've had the Galaxy Buds Live for almost 2 and a half years. This week I've got the Liberty 4 NC but as the Buds Live are pretty good in my opinion, I might return the Liberty 4 NC, even though they are also pretty good. I decided to purchase them for the ANC but if you don't want to hear a thing (noisy neighbours, in my case), you must get a pair of headphones. 3:23 "10 - 6.5 = 4.5" 🤔😄 9:30 The ANC is good but to say you can't hear a thing is a HUGE overkill.

Passing by shops selling mobile devices or visiting shops with high amount of electronic security in general, the headphones don't keep connection. Sometimes even on public streetlights where they are probably using emitters on the same or close frequency. Cheap BT headphones up to 50 or 60 Euros never had a problem with this. Hope this helps anyone...

Does anyone know of an ANC sports earbud that has a wingtip to hook _inside_ my ears? Thus far I've tried Beats Fit Pro (painful), Echo Buds 2 (Frankenstein bolts) and Jaybird Vista 2 (connectivity issues) -- preferably under £150 thanks!

You should compare them to the Sony Linkbuds S

My first pair of Soundcore earbuds were the Soundcore Liberty Pro 2s (non air). I've had them since August 2020 and loved them since the beginning. I was using wired in-ear monitors before so I was reluctant to lose the fidelity switching to a wireless earbud. They were my workout/travel/laying in bed/walk etc. earbuds since. Recently, I lost the charging case. I was pretty bummed because I quite liked the earbuds still even behind behind feature wise being a few years old now. Long story short, there wasn't really any reasonably priced charging cases only, refurbished or new, or even really used when I was looking around. I figured might as well check out what else Soundcore has to offer and got them for $79.99 during the 20% off pre-prime day coupon. Took me a bit to get used to how they fit in my ear ( I recommend trying the different tip sizes to get a good seal and use the fitment tool in the settings, I'm usually a medium or so but had to go up to the large for these) and the stem style of earbud, but I love them now and they stay in well. LDAC is great and is noticeably cleaner when I'm listening to music, multipoint is very convenient while I'm working and want to switch to watching a video on my phone or whatever. Generally, I use LDAC mode which can't be enabled with multi-point. Oh, and the dark blue color is SEXY! Best review of the Liberty 4 NC I've seen and I've nearly seen them all; subscribed!

Paul, check out the Oppo Enco X and X2 earbuds. Co-engineered with Dynaudio. If you want to hear impressive audio reproduction and unbelievable ANC, you will be amazed, and the Soundcore will become a distant memory. Check em out ASAP.

What are they like compared to the LG tone buds?

Now THAT is a good question. The LG tone's are flipping brilliant! I think the ANC is better here for sure, and the sound quality is very close, perhaps too close to call! When it comes to audio quality you're going down the path of personal preference rather than level of quality I think.

Did you manage to negotiate a discount on these, Paul?

Can you update your test for staying in your ear to the 2022 Oscars standard please? 😂

SoundCore deliver value across most of their range so this is more of a complaint of this sector as a whole. But how have we gotten to a place where we spend a not insignificant amount of money on tech that ends up in land fill sooner rather than later? Unless you can replace the battery easily?

The way we burn through tech these days is frightening, I agree. I can't remember the last time I burnt out the battery of a pair of earbuds though to be fair, I think I still have some in my drawer from 10 years ago that I could charge up and use 👍

I bought the Liberty 4NC's and can confirm they are a great performer and a bargain for the price. On a commercial airliner, the automatic noise cancellation was amazing, removing the sounds of crying babies, screaming children, and fighting passengers. The only thing they couldn't do was stop the little twat seated behind me from kicking my seat for four hours!

No discount codes ?

Stop press- I contacted soundcore yesterday and they were aware of the S23 Ultra issues. They sent me a case number and instructions and mine are working brilliantly. My wife (not another set of ear buds 😮) said the clarity on voice calls is exceptional 😊. I love them. Pixel buds pro sold to CEX for£48 so these new buds cost me £32 💥 Cheers Paul
