Soundcore by Anker Liberty 2 Pro True Wireless Earbuds

Surprisingly good!
I’m not a person who listens to music all day, nor do I use my earbuds for calling or working out. I’m a very casual music/podcast/audio listener. But when I listen to things, I like it to sound good. I bought these to replace some wireless Beats ear buds that sounded a bit fuzzy and diluted and these are way better than the Beats ever thought of being. I’ve listened to podcasts and music (all sorts of genres and styles and qualities) and TV shows. They really do a great job making sounds clear – and that’s what I’m looking for.
Comfort-wise, these are pretty good too. I’ve worn them for up to 4 hours at a time and after a little while, I almost forgot they were in. They’re relatively lightweight, but not so much that they feel fragile.
What bothers me a bit is that they are actually a lot larger than they look on the images. They really do protrude from the ears and end up looking kind of bulky.
These also come with three sizes of wings (I think that’s what they’re called), but they all feel pretty uncomfortable for me.
They are t great at noise cancellation, but they’re good enough. I get easily irritated walking through stores, but don’t like listening to music as it distracts me, so these are also perfect to keep in while I shop so I can avoid hearing everything going on, but can still hear the things I need to hear – the employees at the checkout or screaming children running blindly down the same aisle as me so I know to get out of the way.
I really like these. I was hesitant to buy them, but found them for 50 and they’re a absolutely worth it.

Massive Upgrade
Upgraded from SoundPEATS TrueFree Plus which I thought were excellent, however the sound on the Soundcore blew me away. Your ears may take a few hours to adjust to all the frequencies they provide but once they do you’ll hear music and songs your used to like you’ve never heard them before. The clarity in these things are amazing. With the partner EQ app you can tailor the sound to your liking as nobodys ears hear things the same. I used the largest earbud tips but left the default wings on and they fit my ears like a glove. They don’t fall out when moving around and even when I shake my head they stay intact. The case is small and has a lovely matt finish to them and the earbuds themselves are of very high build quality. Because they fit my ears so well they block outside noise very well. The most amazing thing is I got these in the sale for nearly half price. Highly recommended.

Excellent sound now at a bargain price.
I have experienced none of the white noise issues evident in some reviews of these buds but my ears probably don’t hear all the frequencies of younger ears and I have updated the firmware.

An easy process when connecting to the app.

I had a pair of Anka A2 ANC buds before opening these which were amazing (and I will be buying another pair) but the sound quality though really good read not as good as these.

These allow more noise through as they are not ANC, only passive so of you use your buds on most environments like the gym, you may want to go for ANC instead.

I believe the latest version has ANC.

Despite people mentioning the size of these, they are extremely comfortable to wear, more so the A2 ANC buds and for obvious reasons the battery life is also far better than ANC buds as there is no noise cancelling to process.

So for your everyday working set of buds that give excellent sound reproduction, get these which can be found for bargain prices now they are superceded by a newer model.

You will not have to be constantly recharging them either.

White noise-Sound Quality-Noise Cancellatio
Although you may see many reviews talking about a constant white noise in the background it isn’t as bad as described and is only audible when above 70% volume and even at that point you can easily tune it out

Besides the white noise the sound quality is excellent and the HearID Feature is a really good way to get ballanced sound in both ears although this is only available with the soundcore app

There is no active noise cancellation on these earphones from what i can see in the manual and the soundcore app although if you pick the correct earbud size the noise isolation is great

These earphones can be very uncomfortable if you use wingtips that are too large however if you use the correct size you will hardly feel them and its near impossible for them to fall out from normal use

Amazing sound quality
These true wireless earbuds are great, they charge quickly and it lasts ages. The Bluetooth connection is fast and I’ve not had it drop yet. The controls on the buds are simple but can do everything you need, you can change some of them in the app. There isn’t active noise cancellation but the passive noise blocking is very good especially once you’ve got the right fit for your ear, they come with a range of sizes for the in-ear and support. Finally the sounds quality, you can customise the sound using their app and ‘HearID’ and I can’t recommend it enough, it tests your hearing in both ears and then sets up the best sound balance for you. Overall amazing bit of kit.

10/10
Best sound quality in the market. Puts airpods to shame. I did my research before buying a pair of wireless earbuds and a lot of people recommended this pair for sound quality alone. I can see why now.

Their battery life is very good, you really don’t need much more given how rarely you’ll have to charge them. The case it comes in is super slick, it looks like some alien technology. People around me always take an interest.

The fit in your ears is spectacular. I shook my head around like a madman to test if they’d fall but they stayed right in place. I was super impressed. It’s really intelligently designed to stay in your ears no matter what kind of sports you’re doing.

All in all, if you want a pair of earbuds that are the best among the non-cheap, it’s this.

Allows you to tailor the sound to your hearing!
I already own, and have reviewed, the Liberty 2 version of these earphones. I was impressed with them and when I wanted a second pair to keep at work I opted for the newer Liberty 2 Pro.

The big advantage of these earphones is the ability to personalize to your hearing profile! This really improves the listening experience. I no longer have to alter the volume if I switch earphones in mono mode as these earphones are customized for each ear.

They do not have noise ambient isolation but once in place and your choice of audio on outside noise isn’t a problem. Personally don’t want all noise blocking out, because I still want to be aware of life around me.

There is supposedly some background hiss, noted by other reviewers, but my hearing isn’t the best and I haven’t found any sign of it.

Although they appear bulky and weighty for ear buds, once you choose the wings and buds to suit your ears they are comfortable and hold very securely. I have worn mine for 4 hour stretch without any problems. They are the best I have had for staying in while working. I have even been able to leave them in while removing a bobble hat, other ear buds fall out, when I try this. They are very visible when worn.

The on bud control is a physical switch, it is easy to use. Because of the size of the buds and the way they fit, the switch is easily accessible and is easy to use. I like it because it limits accidental usage I have encounter with touch sensitive switches. The switches can be tailored to your requirements but go back to default mode when used mono.

Using the phone with these earphones seems fine. The microphone is good enough, not fantastic, but I haven’t had any complaints while on conference calls.

The battery life is good I have had 7 hours before getting the first low power warning and there was another 30mins use after that. The case allows about 4 recharges if using both buds or 8 for mono mode.

Over all, I haven’t noticed any difference between the Liberty 2 and the Liberty 2 Pro, but that’s probably just me.

My experience with earphones has to be a stark lesson in false economy.
I knew I needed a set of earphones and I wanted to get one that had good call quality and one with a high IPX7 rating. So I saw an unknown brand from Wish that seemed to tick the boxes at about 30. It came eventually. It wouldn’t stay in my left ear even during a walk. It wasn’t waterproof. I tried it in the shower. No direct splash but one ear conked out. Wish gave me a refund and didn’t want it back. Total loss: 0.00.

The search continued on Amazon. I wanted high waterproof IPX numbers and good sound quality from 4 mics (two per earphone). I knew that CVC 8.0 Noise Cancellation was the way to go with 4 mics. I knew that I didn’t want to spend loads and I found another unknown brand in Boltune at 39.99. They sounded good. But after a while, they wouldn’t pair with my iPhone and I tried all the reset tricks possible. Did I mention that I’m really bad at sending things back? Total loss: -39.99.

The search continued on Amazon. I could find nothing with my exacting specs. I still wanted IPX8. I ordered another Boltune. It was good before. No. I couldn’t even pair them! Total loss: -79.98. Yes, I’ve missed my return window. Maybe I can do a warranty claim. But I’m really bad at sending things back.

Right. Time for a known brand. So I compromised on IPX7 but kept the 4-mic CVC8.0 call quality with the Anker Soundcore Life P2 at 35.99. And this 4 mic CVC8.0 combination really does result in great call quality, even when outside the house. Sound quality’s not too bad too. What’s not to like? Well, if I walk briskly, the right earbud hangs on for dear life while the left earbud just falls out. I don’t think I have large ears but I was on the largest of their supplied 3 eartips so there was no other adjustment that I could make. Yes, I’ve still got these. Total loss: -115.97

Because there’s nothing worse than earbuds falling out when walking or exercising. I decided that I needed sports earbuds, because they generally came with ear wings (or fins). I remembered an old pair of Jaybird earphones that came with fins – and they worked really well on my ears. But I wasn’t prepared to sacrifice cvc8.0. I could sacrifice IPX7 or 8 – and just not use them in the rain or the shower. But Jaybirds are expensive – and don’t have CVC8.0.

And so the search eventually led me to the Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro. I’d originally dismissed them because they were expensive. They had CVC8.0 but ‘only’ IPX4, so splashproof at best. I’d solve all my earbud problems if I keep them out of the rain.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro’s are amazing. Great call quality. Deep bass. Which is how I like my music. A choice of 7 tips and three wings and I found my fit – these earbuds are going nowhere, whatever I do. I don’t take them out if I get caught in the rain, but I think I would if it were a downpour. I took the advice of one reviewer and I didn’t do the software update on them. I’m keeping them as they are. They are configurable via an app so if you don’t like deep bass…

These earbuds are so good that I try to find time to take a break and listen to music. Which I never used to do with my previous earbuds – they were just functional.

Earbud nirvana. And I caught them when Amazon were discounting the price. But knowing what I know now, I would have paid full price for these. I should have gotten these from the start.

Superb earbuds - they've won awards, find out why for yourself!
Anker products show a company who still does its own in-house R&D. Year on year their products are at the top of my list. Sound quality and noise cancellation have been superb. Whether its the traffic while out walking or covering the volume of my daughters music or sons xbox gaming (while he screams out his tactical orders to his team at top of his voice), I’m isolated – bliss
