I got the XM4 a few weeks ago and I really love it!!! This is my first TWS earbuds and it's really great. For me personally I have no problems with it in my ear for many hours. The only problem for me is that I can't sleep with it since it's quite bulky and I sleep normally on my side so yeah that's only the down side I can think of. I would highly recommend this for Android users like me.

Got the Soundcore and am very happy, the sony is just, now Sept 2022, so more expensive! One detail that I like on the Liberty 3 - aside from great sound, better than expected noise canceling, and the looks is how well the touch control works. I have a Sony 1000XM3 and that does not work well at all.
@breedlofam Жыл бұрын
I wasn't happy with my XM4's. I don't have small ears, but I could never get them to fit properly and snuggly. Wound up giving them to my son who enjoys them as a great upgrade over his Samsung buds. Bought the L3P's and have been extremely happy with them. The fit is perfect with a great seal made better with some foam tips I bought separately. Yeah, L3P's don't have nearly as many options, but with the foam tips they rival the XM4 noise cancelation the few times I could get the XM4's to fit and seal properly. The passthrough audio/transparency mode is not as good as the XM4's, I will say that. I also picked the L3P's up on sale for $85 bucks though. So my bang for my buck was well worth it especially since I shelled out $280 for the XM4's and feel like I wasted my money.

Nicely done, the only area you overlooked IMHO is call quality. I am convinced from the countless videos I have watched on the Pro 3 and XM 4's is that the Pro 3 does a better job in blocking out ambiant sound to provide a clearer call quality in a noisy environment. Great work as always👍🏾.

Fantastic review. New subscriber now! I own the Souncore Liberty 3 Pro. I struggled with which to buy, but for me, half the price is half the price. I have had the Soundcore's for about 2 months now, and really like how they are pushing forward, adding features in their firmware upgrades! Example, this last upgrade allows ANC and hear through when wearing ONE bud. Soundcore is here to stay and they aren't messing around. The quality of their product is top notch from packaging, the app, and the buds/case.

Sony's are good but I think the real advantage of TWS is convenience and being able to be mobile with it, and Sony's are not very suitable for movements and especially not good at phone calls in noisy surroundings. And that Apple understood very well, hence the success of Airpods in general.

It's strange. I've heard so many reviews that agree that the highs on the L3p are almost too harsh, while the Xm4's highs are "better." But, if we look at it from a physical perspective, a single speaker cannot accurately represent a full range of frequencies because of how it has to shake and move. The L3p has the ability to do this because they are dual-driver and handle highs and lows separately. So is it too harsh? Or is it just more accurate we are used to? Food for thought. ✌️ & ❤️

Just received my replacement XM4. I had this ding with ANC or Ambient on when banging my teeth together. Also Google assistant had an echo with that ding tone. Chatted with Sony. All the usual reset stuff then they said I needed a repair. I had Amazon replace it instead. New buds have the same ding. More evenly balanced left and right though. It was most prominent in the left bud before. Google assistant not so bad. I think it's the bone conduction system. No other bud with ANC does this. It's like ANC creates an anti-noise wave that lasts longer than the actual sound it's trying to negate! Guess I'll have to accept it as normal! 😞 Maybe third time lucky, but Amazon will insist on a refund next time.

I think your opinions about both of them are true to your experience with them, but the way you count points is so messy ;) For example, some earbuds can sound like heaven, but if they are uncomfortable for a certain person, then they are worthless and a bad buy. So comfort should have more weight in the final score. Or connectivity range, it might be very important for certain costumers. Then one person needs sound quality for music, another person sound quality for calls. Also both of them are in a bit of a different category (L3P are smartphone all-rounders, Sony's are more like IEMs for music lovers) and obviously in different price range (Sony's are two price tiers higher).
@imwhatsnew2 жыл бұрын

I'm glad i watched this review since it is made pretty well, but i recently bought the XM4s and am returning them now. Almost a year later they still cost over 200€ and you only get 3 sizes in memory foam eartips. For me, medium is too small and large is too big. Soundcore gives you way more tips for way less money. Because of this, i wasn't able to experience the "outstanding" ANC that everyone praises. My former Liberty Air 2 Pros sounded much better to me bc they again had so many tips to choose from. Silicon & foam. The app from Sony is not as good as Soundcore imo. Subjectively Soundcore is easier to use, has a better design and isn't missing any options for day to day use. On Sony's app i cannot see if the firmware version of my earbuds is the newest, i cannot ask it to look for updates, all i can do is turn on auto update which i guess you have to do since there is no option to update them manually. There are many options for the ANC, but since that never worked for me in the first place, these options are worthless. The XM4s have google assistant or alexa which is a nice thing to have but because of this feature i thought my earbuds were broken. If you turn on the voice assistant, the earbuds cannot operate separately anymore. Only the right one can operate by itself. The left earbud just refuses to connect. They could've programmed it, that if you only use the left one, the assistant doesn't work but they decided to just have it not work at all. Sony's 360 audio seemed promising but unfortunately only works with 4 apps from which i've never heard of. All need you to sign up of course. No Amazon music, no Spotify, no thanks. Unfortunately i cannot understand the point from many reviewers that the Sony WF-1000XM4 have now set the bar really high. To me it seems like Sony has made improvements from their XM3s but left out a lot on purpose so they can justify the next generation. If a company releases a product which is purposely not the best they can make, why even support this decision at that point. From my perspective, the only reason people would buy the XM4s because it has Sony written on them.

Not as good as my wh-1000xm2 that it's replacing (purely because it's heavy and big) but still pretty great and it's only 100$ cad. The issue for me was comfort and sound quality. The Samsung is better in a lot of ways but the sound quality is really horrible. I really personally hate how Anker makes their bass super empathesized, I wish they had a flat EQ but I plan on just manually EQing them Let's hope Amazon won't be mad at me for returning 2 earbuds :p If these devices lasted longer like over the ear or wired headphones I'd spend the extra!

This is the most bias review I've ever heard... This guy clearly wants to get Sony's attention.... I've had them both the sound cores are superior over the Sony's..... Hands down.... On top of that is impossible to keep those sonies in your ear.. This guy is specifically going going after name.... Sony everybody knows Sony so hes gonna jump on that bad wagon.... To me this is not an honest review at all.....

If you were to compare these to to the Jabra Elite 7 Active because the Soundcore liberty 3 pro arrived for me yesterday and I feel they amazing apart from the issue of disconnection and reconnection issue I have when placed in the case, which seems to occur occasionally. I have the Galaxy Buds Pro but unfortunately, it got damaged by liquid which I'm still trying to figure out how to repair because I am unable to send it to Samsung repair because it will end up being sent back because the unit in the device is different. I actually bought this from Eglobal Central EU which seems to have closed down. Initially, it worked perfectly, no problems but silly me decided to emerge it in water because it said that can last about 30 minutes because it's IPX7 rated and it did but there was some water left over, if anyone knows any solutions please let me know. Thank you.

This video had great potential to bring people useful information. Unfortunately the OP clearly has a personal preference for the Sony. I can't even count how many times he gloated and gushed about the Sony's, but when it came time to give Soundcore their props he seemed physically strained in doing so.
@imwhatsnew2 жыл бұрын
And yet the score card says otherwise. The gloating was for comedic effect only. And as for giving the Soundcore it's due I have a detailed review on them as well .. Just as I do on the Sony pair

The Sony's are better for sure, but if you want a superior iem with better mids and highs for half the money, get the OPPO Enco X2. They use Planar tech and are co created by Dynaudio. They don't sell them in the US though.
