These buds are the ANC version of the Liberty 4, which only feature standard noise cancellation.

In return for the sacrifice in quality, you get features like a touchscreen on the case.

In practice, though, this ends up being one of the weakest parts of the earbuds.

With that said, there still might be some aspects of the Liberty 4 Pro that you might like.

Read on for my full Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro review.

However, there are several features Ill get to later that partially explain this.

Prime

The prominent downwards-facing stems are about double the length of the earbud itself.

The high-tech case has no waterproofing at all.

That said, if you commute mostly on public transport, these are a great option.

Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro review: Comfort

The Liberty 4 Pro earbuds are remarkably comfortable.

The one drawback here is they did feel a little too loose.

Its quite bulky, although it has a flat enough profile to still fit into my pocket.

Macy’s

It looks as good as the earbuds, and it matches the chosen color of the earbuds.

The worst part of the case is also its most noteworthy feature.

The touchscreen interface, a thin screen located underneath the earbud slots, is very clunky to use.

With enhancements enabled they lasted about three hours longer than the OnePlus Buds 3.

I found the mixed guitar and synth lead instruments on Why Didnt You Stop Me?

by Mitski sounded great, with a lot of rich texture to the sound.

However, the near complete absence of bass in the earbuds leaves songs feeling really flat.

If anything, these prefs ended up making the earbuds sound worse, in my experience.

The mobile app has a neat feature which can determine the perfect EQ tweaks based on your hearing.

In music, the issue remains but its not quite as bad.

Letting it down is the poor audio quality, on the listener’s end.

It sounds tinny and thin, and as a result, more grating than my phone speaker.

Definitely avoid extended meetings while wearing these earbuds, for your own sake rather than the others.

This is a really neat feature, which makes them a great option as a pair of travel headphones.

If I was accidentally toggling it, I wasnt able to figure out what could have caused it.

Rather than a squeeze, a brief touch is enough to cause an adjustment, which isnt ideal.

Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro review: Verdict

The Liberty 4 Pro earbuds are tricky to recommend.

In a crowded market, the Liberty 4 Pro earbuds dont have a lot going for them.
