BEST under $100 ANC Wireless Earbuds? SoundCore Liberty 4 NC Vs Sony, Samsung, JBL and Jabra

[@avs040288]

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.

[@-The-Golden-God-]

The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are available at a MUCH cheaper price + their customer support is amazing! I told them that I was having issues with sound quality so they just sent me another pair, no questions asked. They're also sending me some longer bud tips, as soon as they're ready for market.

[@Yoyopizzacat]

HOW?!?! Their customer support is shit. The left earbud makes a rattle sound when I move and I have not received a single response from soundcore customer support. I want a replacement and I filed several claims through their app, website and also email yesterday and today and I expected some response and got absolutely nothing. Soundcore bad.

[@LukasSTE]

I assume the customer support experience sadly depends on where you live.

[@Yoyopizzacat]

@@LukasSTETheir customer support is godly lol. I just had to be patient but they sent me 2 more pairs with seemingly the same problem. I think something wrong with my ears. And then they still refunded me. Definitely recommend.

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.

[@platinum2t6]

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?

[@DHRME]

No, the microphone switched if it's mono. Happens with all earbuds.

[@waheediqbal6626]

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.

[@undereztmated4726]

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!

Not sure why they picked samsung galaxy buds 2 over soundcore liberty 4 NC. As a former user of galaxy buds 2, I can confirm that those are complete trash with shit tier ANC, sold them off for $20. Using the liberty 4 NC now which is one of the best earbuds I have ever used

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.

[@joelhaspel]

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!

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.
