Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had the Sound Core liberty 2 Pro for over a year they have been my favorite pair, so I was excited when Anker release the L3P. I'll keep this quick and simple the ANC is pretty weak, they offer less buds than the older Liberty 2 pro so it's harder to get a good fit, the older Liberty 2 pro are louder, the touch controls are very finicky and doesn't register my input a lot of times. The liberty 3 Pro are brighter and even sound sibilant/piercing at times, and the vocals as a whole sound "thin"you can adjust in the app but it doesn't completely fix it. If you have the 1st generation Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro I would not recommend upgrading, some songs on the older L2P sound a lot better. Update: Anker offered to send me a free pair back in order to give them another chance, with that said I'm not sure if the ankers got an update, but I felt that they responded much better to EQ this time around. After 40 hours of using the earbuds I can say I really like them, but they by no means are perfect. Sound out the box is not very good, I had to lower the bass, and the treble (which is very sharp out the box) and increase the mids a bit. I don't personally like Hear ID, I feel like it just boosted the treble even further to sound harsher. The soundstage on the earphones are outstanding, as well and the bass, very deep and tight fast bass. The earphones are an absolute joy to listen with Hip hop and Rap music. I feel that the earbuds do a much better job with male vocals and bass heavy songs, on some female tracks with higher frequencies it can struggle a bit and sound harsh. But for Hip hop, Edm, bass heavy tracks they are my favorite earbuds to listen to. I love these for the gym as they are very comfortable, stay in my ears, and are great for workout songs. The ANC is not very strong, my Edifier neobuds pro as comparison have a much more effective ANC and those cost less. Also the transparency mode on the edifier are more effective and natural sounding as well, but the ankers still do a good job and I like that when using transparency mode on the ankers and I like that when a loud sound in the environment occurs (Like a truck or bathroom dryer) it will turn on the ANC, so the loud sound doesn't hurt your ears and then turn transparency back on. The earbuds have a very good app, I like the lights on the case so you know the battery, I like the lights inside the case, just makes it feel more premium. The case is a little slippery, but that's really nit picking. With that said I really like the earbuds after using them the past few weeks. The edifier Neo buds pro are my one of my favorite current earbuds, and lately I have been grabbing the ankers over them, that's how much I like them. On top of that Anker has outstanding customer service. These definitely deserve a try.
