Good job on the water test. I need tws that could survive 3hours of running in really heavy rains. I had one that survived temporarily but probably had corrosion few days later and stopped working. Are yours still working? Please update us after 2 to 3days. Thanks!

[@ChilledFossilofficial]

THIS IS WHY I DO IT :) Yes it's been just 2 days now since filming - the buds did take a night to dry up and get all the water out. I'm hesitant to say they are perfectly fine though - as It might just be me but I still feel the left one (in water) is a tiny bit quieter than the right - MAYBE there was some damage that still hasn't been fixed.

[@zixednatz]

Thanks for confirming. In this case I won't use them for running in heavy rains, will use for enjoying music, netflix and youtube them. Will use a cheap ipx7 lower music quality tws for heavy rains :-)

[@zixednatz]

[@goinsgroove]

As someone who has a hearing loss the hearing test made such a huge difference. I hear instruments I haven't heard in a long time in music.

[@k3n12ock]

Totally agree. Listening to music with the HEARid sounds so much better than without it

[@DJ279V]

Hands down my top TWS set to-date! Fantastic long term review and superb you mentioned the experience!!

[@dannymcneal]

You’re the first reviewer that highlighted the sliding wings. Thank you!! It’s the only negative thing I have found with these TWS buds. Sure, we could turn off the wear detect feature, but that only puts a bandage over a wound. Not fond of the wings sliding around-at all. Soundcore, please pay attention and build a better anchor system for the L4Ps.

[@dannymcneal]

Actually, more than a few times now, I’ve used these earbuds to talk with someone on the phone, with my iPhone next to me, and suddenly the person on the other end says, “Hello? You still there? Hello?” And my iPhone shows that I’m still connected to the earbuds. I had connection issues with the L2Ps as well, but mostly when listening to music. Sheesh!

[@MrTunney3]

I have had them over a year. Perfect 👍

[@montman1498]

I've used these everyday for the last 4 months and absolutely love them... soundcore certainly impressed me with these bad boys.

[@BlyGuy]

All things considered, these are the best bluetooth headphones on the market at $130

[@rebeca9729]

Are they comfortable to wear?

[@BlyGuy]

@@rebeca9729 my wired IEM's are the Kinera Idun's, which are amazingly comfortable, but the LP 3's are very close and do not cause any ear fatigue for me. I ride a commuter scooter to and from my office in Queens NY where the roads/sidewalks are very bumpy and have not had any close calls or felt them come loose. They stay nice and snug. Unfortunately, when I bought them a month ago, they were $130 at Best Buy and Amazon, but now can't find them for cheaper than $170. Not sure if its an inflation thing, a supply chain thing or what, but even at $170, I think it's reasonable for what you get. I love them.

[@suspensefulness]

are they good for gym or running...?

[@BlyGuy]

@@suspensefulness yea, as long as you have the correct bud/fin size and have a snug and sealed fit, you won't have to worry about them falling out. For me, the only thing that makes them come loose is if I am eating something.

Thank you for acknowledging the issue with the wingtips. I've got the same problem in that they slip around after long term use. I've already spoken to soundcore and they have replaced my wingtips only for the issue to arise again. The material they are made of becomes too soft after long term use making them slip around.

[@gtvanderwood]

The hear ID EQ is absolutely incredible imo

[@shanevan1]

The HearID features was actually very helpful. When I first got them I thought they had decent audio quality. But after doing the test it tweaked the eq to my ears. And heard alot more detail and it sounded richer! I do think they were a bit to harsh. But using that as a base EQ was perfect. You can place a preset untop of the custom eq or just tweak it a bit yourself. But def was better. I got mine for 160 euros. Well worth it! Had the Sen Momentum 1. I believe the 2nd iteration of that one was almost twice as much. But the sound is warmer and and fuller on the liberty 3 pros. Also the dual connection feature is very handy as I have a work and personal phone connected at once for incoming calls. Custom ANC also very good! The bass blows momentums away! Also better than the jabra 75t. Although the senn transparant mode was a bit better. The wingtips being as loose as they are are indeed a bit annoyin, but not too bothersome. Soundstage is the best I personally have ever heard. As a basshead satisfies my needs after the custom eq with bass Oost preset. Clarity and details remains.

Been using the L3P for 5 months and yes the earwing will sometimes cover the sensor when took it off to place it back in the case but it isn't a big issue cause will just adjust it back. As for the custom EQ, I set it following another KZbinr Aregina and the sound after that was just perfect. On top of all this love the ANC where it cut off the sound of rain. As for calls, again to the mic is one of the best I used. Now the L3P is my daily driver and used it everyday for like 4-6 hours or sometimes more. Used it for music, watching movies, meeting & calls. As for the beats...haha..tried it and it is not as comfortable and the sound is just meh ..return it after a few days using.

He already said in the video that the audio delivery is great, but other parts of the experience don't feel premium, such as problems with erratic playing and pausing. Most other earbuds probably don't have this issue so it can still be annoying, and there's nothing wrong with being annoyed about things that don't have to do with audio delivery. I have earbuds that have problems charging wirelessly, I wish someone told me about that issue before I bought them.
