Soundcore by Anker Liberty 2 Pro True Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth Earbuds, ACAA Dynamic Driver and Armature Driver, in-Ear Studio Performance, 8H Playtime, HearID Personalized EQ, Wireless Charging

First off let me start off by stating I have tested a LOT of headphones over the years. I'm extremely technical in my IT field and that obsession with tech translates into every other aspect of my life. I'm extremely picky and while I'm not rich, I'm comfortable enough to get the best of things I really love. Don't let this fool you though, I'm also super cheap where I can be. As a matter of fact, this review is predicated on me moving on from something "cheap" to obviously NOT even close to cheap. When it comes to home audio I've been a Sennheiser fan for many years. I've had some higher-end Sony's over the years and even once had a pair of studio Denons. When it comes to earbuds though, frankly put I never have been overly impressed. I found a solution for around 40 dollars that would last around a year + and while they weren't anywhere NEAR a full ear covering headphones quality they also didn't make my ears cringe. I have gone through a lot of different headphones from true wireless like these (soo many) and a few of the same non true wireless/ wireless Bluetooth style ones like from Bose. I returned ALL but these and the Bose. For a company that first hooked me with their awesome battery banks, this is quite the leap and I admit I was very hesitant at first but now I am very glad I got them! I was planning only keeping one and when the Bose impressed me, it admittedly raised the bar for others. Even without that though every other true wireless had some caveat I didn't like. Either the sound was terrible, the case was horrible, charging was too frequent or inconvenient. etc. The biggest difference between these, Bose and the cheaper options was how the headphone had to fit “PERFECT” to sound good. These just fit great, stay put and sound impressive without having to overly manipulate to get them just right. I even had a few had touch controls and constantly needed to be adjusted. ANNOYING!! I’ll take the physical button over touch in this case. The sound on these immediately impressed me and got my attention compared to the other true wireless style ones I have. Then I did the personalized EQ via the Soundcore app. Game changing. I believe I have pretty high hearing ranges and these headphones feel like they tailor right to them. Highs are CRISP with no tinny sound and you really hear the range of instruments. Pop on some Rap/Hip Hop and you’ll immediately notice these are no slouches when it comes to bass. Honestly anymore bass and it would make my ear itch. Full disclosure, I have a 500+ watt surround sound system on my computer and grew up with subs in my cars. These sound AMAZING! I'm telling you these sound so good, you'll notice your bad quality MP3's 100 times worse and even will notice sounds that made it past studio mastering. (amp feedback etc) Just at a bit higher volume than the bose does. No joke these are that good. The case is wireless charging so you don't have to fuss with ANOTHER cable if you so choose. To be honest, I've had them for a few days now and haven't even needed to come near charging and I've been playing with them FAR more than I'll ever use headphones on a regular basis. Its almost 10 pm now, I've been rocking music non stop on them all day. I took some calls on it and even left music playing while buds were out and I was eating. (eating and earbuds is just weird imo) Anyways. Since I've got them, trying to use the crap out of them the lowest I've seen the ear buds get down to is 80%, immediately afterwards putting them in the wireless charger, which still shows 3/3 bars. WOW. Considering the intended use for these and likelihood they won't be my gym headphones and the Bose Soundsports will fit that role, I'll probably have to set the wireless charger on the Qi Charger once or twice a month at this rate. One unintended surprise is I will use them more than I EVER thought for I found in about 75% of the ones I touched, you can't just go single ear easily without having to do steps to ensure it pairs right the next time to both or bla bla bla. I'm a network engineer by trade and still don't want to go through unnecessary hoops for basic functions. These just work, you pull out the right ear piece, put it on, and you can make calls on it. I didn't have to do anything special to have them be headphones again as normal next time. Smart. While on that track, the noise cancellation is top-notch. People can hear me very clearly no matter where I am, I allowed my 14 year old to try them and proceeded to talk all kind of smack to him to see if he could hear me. Until I was fairly loud and right next to him, he was none the wiser. :) Gaming performance on these is like most aptx devices, OK but not great. Definitely better than earlier codec versions of Bluetooth . Built in youtube app is FAR better than watching video in the browser etc (likely to hardware acceleration) I’m going to do some testing in dev options and see what I can do. Only cons I could think of it not being cheaper but that immediately disappeared when I heard them. They are clearly a premium product. Active noise cancellation would be a good feature but personally I don’t travel or need to listen to them in noisy environments etc. TLDR Awesome bass, clear highs with overall great sound. Alexa / Google assistant works fantastic!! Only con would be if you don’t have 150 dollars to buy them yourself or ABSOLUTELY need active noise cancellation which I would imagine you probably wouldn’t be buying earbuds? Buy them now. Come back and thank me later 😊 Anker, great job! I see why you guys are rocking it!

I have a pair of Sennheiser momentum 3. They are $400 headphones. The sound that comes with the liberty 2 pros is so good that I prefer to wear them over my Sennheiser. I have more sound options, a better app, and a superior EQ with the liberty 2 pros. although there is a difference in the sound, not by much, I do not feel I am missing anything when I pick my liberty 2 pros over my sennheisers. The SoundCore liberty 2 pros are that good. I'm simply stunned that a pair of Bluetooth earbuds would be in the ballpark of a $400 pair of headphones. Make sure you have the firmware updated and make sure you do the hearing ID in the app because your ears do not hear at the same frequency and you will not be able to enjoy the sound based upon how you hear. So that process is important. Out of the box the earbuds are great after the firmware is updated, but the here ID within their app allows you to tune your ears to the way the sound is played and is a much more enjoyable experience. If you want highs, lows, mids, or incredible pace, you get them all with these earbuds. The battery life is beyond expectation. I'm a truck driver so I wear my earbuds up to 8 hours at a time and have routinely gotten 7 to 8 hours out of each charge. The quick charge is really nice when you just need a few more hours and then can charge them later that night. They don't fall out, it's impossible not to find a perfect fit, and I would put these earbuds up against any $300 earbuds on the market. I cannot wait for the next line of liberty to pro released by SoundCore and the features that come with it. Some people talk about a hiss but I have learned that depends upon what you are listening to. I have not found that it is the earbuds unless you have not updated the firmware. It's worth taking the time to try different earpieces for the perfect fit, you won't regret it. For only $150, I feel that I have gotten far more than I had to pay when comparing them to my $400 sennheisers. Their customer service is outstanding! As a customer The most important thing to me is the product I buy and the way that customer service treated me when I needed to do a warranty claim was that I was there number one product. I can definitely tell that they understand that people are the purpose and it's obvious in the quality and sound you will get from these earbuds. I will be a sound core customer for life. By the way, when I am driving my truck, I sometimes have the window down and people can still hear me. It gets a little windy in a semi, but that should tell you how good the microphones are. I would normally have to spend $200 for a headset with just one earpiece and a microphone if I did not have my liberty 2 pros. When I had to do a warranty claim, the care and concern customer service treated me with was outstanding! they followed up several times to make sure I was happy and satisfied! It reminded me just how important customer service is concerning the product we buy and a company that will treat you as well as they treated me is worth buying more of their products in the future and I have many anker products. If they are not the best Bluetooth earbuds you've ever listened to, then you haven't listened to them yet

Gekauft während der Osterangebotstage 2022 für schlappe 67,99€ (in weiss) und bin absolut beeindruckt was man hier für relativ kleines Geld unter 100€ bekommt. ✅ Ersteindruck / Verarbeitung Die Verpackung ist sehr hochwertig und edel designt und macht schon mal ordentlich was her, was direkt gleich Lust auf mehr macht. Aber auch die Verarbeitung der InEars selber ist absolut hervorragend und muss sich nicht hinter der Konkurrenz wie von Technics, JBL, Apple ect. verstecken. ✅ Lieferumfang Soundcore bzw. Anker liefert hier alles mit was man bei guten InEars erwarten sollte. Satte 7 paar verschiedene "EarTips" in verschiedenen Grössen und 3 paar "EarWings" die erst richtig dafür sorgen das die InEars sicher und komfortabel in den Lauschern sitzen, in dem sie sich oben am Ohr in eine Falte einklemmen. Zudem natürlich die Ladeschale, ein USB-C Kabel und diverse Anleitungen und Beilagen. ✅ Koppeln Koppeln klappte direkt auf anhieb. Schiebt man die Ladeschale auf erscheint wenige Sekunden später eine Kopplungsanfrage auf dem Smartphone, fertig. Die InEars müssen beim koppeln auch nicht aus der Ladeschale genommen werden. ✅ Sitz / Komfort Die InEars sitzen für mein Empfinden super angenehm und sicher in den Ohren. Hier leisten die EarWings entsprechend gute Arbeit, in dem sie sich je nach gewählter Grösse in die Falte oberhalb des Ohres einklemmen...siehe mein Foto was ich gemacht habe. Dadurch werden zudem auch gleichzeitig die Umgebungsgeräusche prima abgedämpft. ✅ Zum wichtigsten, dem Klang Der Klang ist wirklich phänomenal wenn man die folgenden beiden Punkte beachtet um das maximum aus den InEars heraus zu holen. ❗ Soundcore App - Einmessen und EQ ❗ Installiert euch die Soundcore App und messt zuerst an einem ruhigen Ort eure Ohren ein...funktioniert wie ein Hörtest beim Ohrenarzt. Ich hab es tatsächlich auf dem Klo gemacht weil dieser Ort nicht umsonst das "Stille Örtchen" genannt wird. Die App erstellt anschliessend eure persöhnliche "HearID" und berücksichtigt das bei der Wiedergabe. Spielt anschliessend mit dem Equalizer herum und erstellt euer eigenes Profil. Das macht schon mal sehr viel aus was den Klang angeht. Ich hab zb. die 100Hz und 200Hz sowie die 6,5kHz und 12,8kHZ Frequenzen ordentlich angehoben. Ergebnis: kristallklare Höhen und richtig fette und satte Bässe. ❗ Die richtige Wahl der EarTips ❗ Man mag es kaum glauben aber die richtige Wahl der EarTips ist absolut entscheidend. Ich wollte das auch erst nicht glauben bis ich in einer anderen Rezension gelesen habe das die richtige Wahl der EarTips über Sieg oder Niederlage entscheidet und wurde hier regelrecht eines besseren belehrt. Bei mir waren im Auslieferungszustand zuerst die kleinsten EarTips drauf. Klang zwar schon ganz gut, saubere Höhen + Mitten aber ein etwas dünner Bass und die Lautstärke war für mein Empfinden auch etwas zu leise. Hier hab ich das erste mal mit dem Gedanken gespielt sie zurück zu schicken, weil mich das Klangbild hier doch etwas enttäuscht hat. Dann aber die dicksten EarTips draufgesetzt und Halleluja was ist das denn ?!?! Es hat mich direkt umgehauen. Ultrafette Bässe wie ich es mag und auch die Lautstärke war deutlich lauter. Bei den EarWings hab ich mich zudem auch für die grössten entschieden weil sie für mein empfinden die InEars am besten im Ohr einklemmen und zudem dadurch sehr gut gegen Aussengeräusche abdichten. 📈 Fazit 📈 Von mir eine absolute Kaufempfehlung und volle Punktzahl. Im Preisbereich bis 100€ mit das beste was man derzeit bekommt.

J'ai essayé de très nombreux true wireless (Sony WF-1000xM3, Sennheiser Momentum, Master & Dynamic MW07+, Lytek Tevi...) et il faut reconnaitre que pour le prix les Liberty Pro 2 sont très qualitatifs face à la concurrence. Que cela soit en terme de qualité sonore, de confort, d'ergonomie, d'autonomie. Mais, je les ai renvoyés à cause d'un souffle trop important. J'ai pu voir sur un forum américain très connu (HF) qu'une version modifiée avait été conçue pour limiter le souffle. J'attends de voir les futurs retours des utilisateurs pour les reprendre ou non.

TL;DR I care about music...if you care too, and you don't have $$ to spend on a $300+ pair, I bet you'll love these as much I do. I'm not an "audiophile" who obsesses about speaker cables and 20k tube amps, but I do think music should be heard as the artists who made it intended. (Like, if I get in a rental car the first thing I do is flatten the EQ, someone inevitably has boosted the bass and treble.) I get joy out of hearing the subtleties, small dynamic changes, quiet cymbal shimmer, breaths of a singer, even the background shuffling in a chamber concert or speaker hum from an old recording. I know a pair of headphones or speakers are good when I hear some aspect of the music I never heard before. But more than anything I need neutral, unbiased sound. I'm aware that bluetooth ear buds have inherent limitations, but even factoring that in, I've been horribly dissapointed by every bluetooth earbud I've tried -- including the Sennheiser CX400BT that I had high hopes for but thoroughly sucked (muddy, unbalanced, terrible dynamics) and my son's Galaxy Pro (typical consumer sound, not terrible just not for actual music) -- I found these and the best thing I can say about these is: "holy s*(&, they don't suck!" Note that bass is heavy, boosted and boomy out of the box -- I guess that's what many folks are looking for -- but that's easily fixed in EQ. I recommend a reverse v, dropping the lows a lot and the high treble just a bit, or find one of the presets that work well for you. The app tools are pretty good for this. Even so they aren't as crips as I'd like, but with a single driver and at this price I don't know how they'd do much better. _non sound quality things_ • My wife asked me if I can connect two devices at same time, and how the mike quality is and my answer was "I could care less", so again you can see where my priorities are, look at other reviews if you care about that stuff. :) • They fit extremely well, lot's of options both for wings and ear canal -- these are the first ear buds that don't fall out of my ear. • Given above the sound isolation is really good -- they don't completely block noise like my old Schure and Etymoic IEMs (which of course sound waayy better than these, but given these are bluetooth I recognize the tradeoffs and am ok with them) -- but way better than others I've tried. • Love, love love that they use actualy physical buttons!! With the others I was always inadvertently triggerring Siri or some other thing that I didn't want to happen every time I adjusted them or scratched my ear. • The app works well. The custom sound tuning thing is sort of a gimmick, just a hearing test that sets EQ, but whatever, I think it will be useful for people who have subtle hearing loss. • Packaging was really nice to the extent I'd say it was overdone -- magnetic clasps on the box etc... I feel like this is wasteful from an eco perspective since most people will just toss the box. • The charger is really nice, I esp. liked the damped lid. Overall Anker put a lot of thought into these ear buds, if your priorities are similar to mine, I think you'll like them too! Everyone has different tastes but if you're going for accuracy and enjoyment from reproduction these are the best of reasonably priced bluetooth solutions. Hope this helped you decide. :D

Further Update : There is a battery issue with the right bud draining much faster than the left. I am getting between 2.5 and 3.5 hours before I get the low battery warning in the right bud at 20% with the left bud as high as 80%. Reading SoundCore forum this seems a very common issue and is because the right bud is the master and doing all the work. A solution which I will be trying is to go to your phone settings and swap the Bluetooth connection to the one that has an L in its name after a couple of hours to make it the master and spread the battery drain. The real solution would be for soundcore to put a higher capacity battery in the right bud. I bought these after returning a pair from a different manufacturer that sounded great but had many quality control issues. They say every cloud has a silver lining, well this is it for me. Firstly I noted some reviewers said they heard a background hiss. As soon as I connected to the app it asked me to do a firmware update which took 5 minutes. I then found a quiet room an did the ear tests. I have not heard any background hiss on any music except for old recordings which has background hiss whatever headphones I play it through. Sound quality is excellent, close to my Grado over ear headphones. The sound stage is wide and on my test recordings I found it easy to identify separate instruments. Not flat, probably slightly bass weighted. However the app allows fine tuning in the equalizer. Fit in my ears was straight forward, I am using the supplied tips and wings and haven't had to change either. It is important to insert them then twist them down so the wings hold them in place as shown in the instructions. Battery life seems very good. Nearly 5 hours so far of continuous playback. Build quality is also good, they feel like premium buds.

For me, the sound is very good and it doesn't matter if I set them on the highest or the lowest volume the quality of the sound doesn't change. They also cancel noise extremely well. I was impressed during talks that I heard everything and there was no problem with the microphone either. I'm using them for over a week now and still waiting for them to run out of battery. The one flaw they have for me is that they are very big compared to other models. But I also like it a bit that they are not as every other earbuds.
