Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro review: $130 ANC buds

  • The $130 Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pros do a lot of things well, but so do a lot of other earbuds at this price. It’s their competitive active noise cancellation and well-designed app that helps them stand out though.

    Just got these. I won them from the company I work for. I am truly shocked at the quality of these earbuds. I really wasn’t expecting much because my company doesn’t normally give away high quality stuff. Tried these out just for fun and I think they’re going to replace my current pair of earbuds. I was using razer hammerhead true wireless earbuds, and for the price point these have way more features and a better battery life. Plus with the firmware update you can customize the tap controls. Additionally I have really small ears and I’ve always had trouble getting earbuds to fit properly but these have so many different sized tips I found the smallest size fits perfectly for me and I can actually move my head without them falling out.

    I just went and bought the Liberty Air 2 Pro's, the Jabra Active 75t, and the Galaxy Buds Pro. I'm samsung guy so I wanted to love those the most, but while they sound great, the fit is a struggle. The Liberty's surprisingly had the most and deepest bass between all 3, and I thought sounded the best (not by a lot - all sound great). Buds and 75t had better ANC. The Liberty's stay in my ear very well, even doing burpees. They were the cheapest of the 3 so I was surprised I liked them the most. The biggest 2 improvements they could make would be to add multipoint BT, and up the IPX rating.

      Listening this review on my Q30's. Probably one of the best sound experience irrespective of the price point. ANC is not exceptionally good but good enough that I can wear it windows down in traffic and won't be bothered by the noise. The flexibility to switch from one equalizer settings to the other. The 3 ANC modes, all adds up to a greater sound experience than you ever expect

    I have one of these bad boys and I have to say they're pretty damn good for the price. I've got mine for like 80-85$. and the only thing that needs a bit of improvement would be the size of the charging case and the earbuds. if you're using iPhone I'd still suggest the AirPods pros for seamless connection and smaller footprint. but if you don't care about any of the stuff I just said then go for it.

    BECCA! Ok with that out of the way, I have a pair of these and for $130 they are not bad but if you can afford, especially with an iPhone, to get the AirPods Pro, go that route. ANC on the Liberty are 60% effective. They give you a ton of ear tips to try and make the fit but I went through all of them and couldn't. Mainly, the Liberty don't stick in very far. Sounds weird buy if you have a long length from the outside of your ear to wear you need the tip to fit nicely, so it seems like me, these will fall out a lot and almost every time your head is not still and vertical. I am 6'4" with a much bigger head than most people (New Era 7 3/4 fitted cap) so with those dimensions in mind, I might be the very very small minority of those who are out of luck. But with the medium tips on the AirPods Pro, don't have that issue at all.

      I don't know if this will be helpful at all, seeing that you've posted this comment a long time ago and you seem happy with your AirPods, but if you ever need a new pair of earbuds, I remember seeing Andy's Tech Tone mention that the Jabra Elite 7 Active sit quite deep in your ear canal, so maybe those would be a good fit for you, especially for workouts :)
