Some youtuber said that soundcore liberty nc 4 mic is not that great but I tried it myself by calling a dummy account on my laptop and I'm telling everyone that my voice is clean and clear, my gf also told me that I sound good when I call her using Liberty NC 4 earbuds. ANC is top notch that I cannot hear background noice and same time the sound is really good. The bass is also very good as long as you change the EQ in the soundcore application. I am happy and satisfied with my earbuds so far 🥰

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I have both the Liberty 4 NC and the P40i, and both are pretty good but it comes down to how important good ANC is to you. The Liberty 4 NC is among the best especially for its price, but it does have some issues. Biggest is the shape/size of the nozzle as it's difficult to find good 3rd party tips that fit well. (It has this weird oval shape with a flange at the ends making those other tips difficult to stay in, they'll fit for a brief period but will fall out while sticking in your ear) Now the P40i comes pretty close to audio quality but it is a slight downgrade. And the ANC is functional but no where near the level of the Liberty 4 NC. Transparency for both are close but again the L4NC takes the lead. What the P40i does better is much longer battery life and a better fitting nozzle for 3rd party tips. (SpinFit works great and even longer double flanged eartips work too as the case is more roomy for ear tips) I stuck with the P40i in the end as they're more friendly to SpinFit tips and others. Really wished the Liberty 4 NC had a longer nozzle to make 3rd party tips fit properly.

[@ShinigamiUchihax2]

I heard the bass is much better in the P40i can you confirm? I have AirPods Pro 2 but I’m getting bored of them I also own the soundcore A40 buds and those are very nice for the price but I lost one bud so I was looking to buy the p40i due to the long battery, size and bass is it worth it more than the L4NC? Right now they’re $50 on Amazon 😬

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

I couldn't tell you as I'm a total dullard with bass and totally clueless about that. The audio in the P40i was just fine for me but I'd keep the receipt or buy these somewhere that lets you return at full price. I like them and will be using them for quite a bit.

[@mwbryant1977]

Two questions. What spinfit did you find fit the P40i? Secondly can you tell me id there a size difference between the 4NC and the P40i?

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

@@mwbryant1977 It was the CP100 Plus and I used the S size for my ears. And the Liberty 4 NC are close in size but the big difference in size is the length of the nozzle where the eartips are. The P40i are almost an extra cm longer giving more room for the CP100 Plus tips to fit. The Liberty 4 NC would fall out of my ear while the tips stayed inside. Which is a shame as the Liberty 4 NC have some amazing sound quality and near top tear noise canceling. Outdoing what I had with the Pixel Buds Pro and my Jabra Elite 8 Active. But the P40i are a good basic pair of buds.

[@ar-tie6261]

I hope you can try the nc feature outside where there are people talking around because sometimes the mic takes the noise from the people at the back instead of the user I mean they are louder than t-e person using the device,

[@MC_Shaheen1]

I'm currently using Liberty 4NC for almost 8 months now, and I can confirm it sounds louder than the Sony XM5, which I tested recently in a huge gadget store in Kuwait back and forth with my 4NC because I was looking to upgrade my earbuds to a new one and surprisingly it got great sound quality as well compared to XM5. I couldn't nitpick anything about it. It's still worth the buck in 2024. 🙂

[@enduringtech822]

Thanks again Kenneth. From your reviews that I have seen on Soundcore products, they seems to be quite bassy. Do you think they are suitable for someone looking for clarity especially in dialogue? I mostly prioritise conversation, either in virtual meeting or in diague within a movie or a commentary on KZbin. Thank you very much it you can provide some insight and definitely looking forward to your review on nothing ear (a).

[@namedkenn]

Hello! I usually found Moondrop earbuds to focus more on vocals, but most TWS you can EQ as well although with soundcores the bass will still be quite a lot Even the Engine4 I believe would sound great, I’ll see what I can do about Nothing buds though!

[@fishiesgaming]

Thanks for the comparison, honestly i’m really just interested in the noise canceling feature for when i feel socially or sensory overwhelmed. Borrowed my friend’s L4NC and was so amazed at the how it lowers the noise and with not so significant occlusion as well! I have the urge to throw my Loop Engage+ Earplugs after trying L4NC 😂 how many % of noise cancellation do you think P40i is compared to L4NC? Like, maybe L4NC is twice more quiet than P40i?

The sound produced depends on the the phone. I have an XM4 for almost 2 years, used on a Samsung Note10+, LG G7+ and Sony XZ3, the sound is very loud at 50-60%. But when used on the Huawei Mate 30 pro, it must be set at 80-90% to achieve the same sound from the other three phones.

Hi Kenneth! I have the P40i and I noticed that when I'm in normal in ambient sound and there is no music or video being played the right earbud will disconnect and reconnect always repeatedly. The only time it will stop reconnect and disconnect if I play music or video or put it on noise cancellation or in transparency mode. In short the repeated disconnect and connecting will only stop 1. I'm playing a music 2. I'm in noise cancellation mode and 3. if I'm in transparency mode. It is only the right earbud that does this. I have already connected it to one galaxy phone so it will not be in Dual Connection but still the same. I reset the bluetooth and wi-fi stting in the phone and unpaired the P40i and reconnected it clean. I also restarted the phone. The earbuds are full batteries even the case is full. Have you encountered that? Can you try that too putting the P40i in normal ambient saound and stop playing music and watch in the Soundcore app if any of the earbuds disconnects and reconnects?
