There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
You'll need to find a product that's right for you, however, you can never go wrong with a company like Anker who takes so good care of its customers...
------------
Design and build quality excellent. No complaint. Durability we'll find out sooner or later.
Battery life also exceptional, great job Anker. Call quality is great. In terms of noise cancellation, this is a closed design earphone without active noise cancellation, if you cant understand this, dont bother reading the rest of the review :)
Pairing with iphone xr was a disaster but I got it work using the "putting them back to back" trick...
My real issue is with the sound.
My current wire headphones: Sennheiser HD598, Bose Soundtrue On-ear, Sennheiser IE80, Denon C710K, Creative Labs Aurovara Air (which I absolutely love more than any other), and Apple EarPods.
My current wireless headphones: Airpods Gen1 (I lost one earbud which is why I bought the Anker); Sony WI1000X which I use for air travels.
I'm not comparing this $89 pair True Wireless earbuds to the IE80s, which is obviously not fair. I'm also not comparing this with the Aurovara Air, which has a different design.
The problem is that I dont know what I can use to compare. The resolution seems to be fine, with "fake grains" which is common in over-engineered headsets or speakers. The compression of bluetooth obviously didnt help either. The sound stage, well I dont know how to describe it.. it sank into the bottom of the ocean and can never be found. The real problem is that it doesnt matter which profile I pick out of the app, I couldnt get out a pleasant sound. Is the Apple Earpod superior when it comes to sound quality? Not really. However, it produces decent sound that you can listen to for hours and not feel like going insane. I think same thing applies to the BeatsX which has terrible sound but doesnt make you uncomfortable. The Liberty Air 2, unfortunately, didnt achieve that. When you try to get good sound of a budget headphone by over engineering everything, it usually doesnt end up well.
The bottom line is - I'm keeping these because they are so comfortable and easy to use and have an in-ear design - which is what I absolutely need for my 3 - 4 hour daily commute - I dont want to spend $250 for the new AirPods pro and this is excellent for its price. However, I still want to write this review because what Anker (one of my favorite companies) claims to be "rigid diamond-coated drivers produce sound with flawless accuracy" is simply not true. The accuracy is terrible which is ok for this price point, just use a different angle to highlight the product.
Comfort is great, can wear for hours at a time will little to no ear discomfort. Again, using the proper fitting ear piece these do not fall out. Battery life thus far has not been an issue. While I have not tried to get the full 7 hrs in one play yet, I have been using for 2-4 hrs at a time with no issue. Drop them back into the case and they are back to full in no time at all. Speaking of the case, in the 2 weeks I have used I have only charged the case twice. Once upon receiving for the first full charge, and a couple days ago to top off again. Even after a week's worth of usage the case was only down to around 50 to 60%. Case supports wireless QI charging and it works well. Also has USB C on the bottom and that works as intended also.
Sound quality is really good, not disappointed at all. The bass is great, while these do not produce that "Subwoffer" super deep bass like you hear in cars that rattle as they drive by the bass IS pronounced. These handled 90s-2000s Rap quite well. Mids and Highs are clean and crisp even at max volume. Vocals have no distortion as well. In general I would say these are not totally Ear monitor quality like you would see being used during a live performance, for the price you won't find yourself complaining.
Call quality is clean and crisp, no issues. While not the main reason I purchased these, if needing to make / answer a call while wearing I do not expect any issue.
Touch controls do require a bit of time to get the hang of. You need to hit right on the middle of the bud to get the proper response, but after 3 to 5 tries I got the hang of it pretty quickly. The "Touch" does not have to be all that hard, you do not need to pound them or jam them into your ear to get a response, just a nice little double tap (or long hold) depending on what action you are wanting. It is nice that the Soundcore app allows you to remap the touch controls. You can change how each bud responds to taps. While the commands are limited to a few options, Next track, Previous track, Pause, Volume up / down and Google / Siri assistant, these are pretty much all I need anyway.
While I did mention briefly the charging case a few more things to discuss. I purchased the White buds, and as such the case is a bit of an off white with a bit of an eggshell / grey fleck type finish. Why I mention this is because I expect the case to get dirty / show dirt since it is quite a light color. While not slick per se, it does move around a lot in pockets, and I imagine would slide around quite a lot in a purse or bag. It is what I consider to be on the small side, which is fine but I would consider it to be something you could loose quite easily. For that reason I did purchase a case cover also from Amazon from the following link: https://www.amazon.com/TOLUOHU-Soundcore-Shockproof-Protective-Compatible/dp/B085FYR3L4/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=liberty+air+2+case&qid=1587332254&sr=8-3 The case fits snug, still allows for wireless charging while on, and has a cut out at the bottom to allow USB C charging as well. My favorite feature for the case is the key chain clip, as this allows me to clip to my pants / shorts / bag or keychain and have a high level of confidence the case more secure then just being in my pocket. I purchased the red color, just because it is bright and should help me not just leave it laying around carelessly.
One thing to really stress with the Soundcore app, is beside the ability remap the touch controls and update firmware as needed the best feature the app provides is the personal tuning feature. Simply, it is kind of like the old school hearing test with tones. Make sure you are in a room with little to no noise and proceed. The app will emit tones first in one bud all the way through the frequency spectrum. Follow the onscreen instruction as you go, very simple. Upon completing the testing the app will create a customized EQ setting for your own personal hearing ability, and it IS quite better then the default EQ setting. Amazing feature.
Closing out I would say if you are looking for a really good value you cannot go wrong with these buds. Keep in mind these will not be on the same level as Professional grade buds but for less then $100 you really can't go wrong.
Top reviews from other countries
With these, however, your custom EQ or HearID is lost and the earbuds reset back to factory default/stock sound every time you charge them in their case. This means that if you want to use your earbuds with say, your TV or another device, you first have to pair to your phone, open the Soundcore App, re-apply your desired EQ (or your HearID), then disconnect from your phone, then pair with your other device. IF at any time you put your buds into the charger, that EQ setting will get removed (or HearID will be turned off) and you have to repeat this process again.
I've tried 2 of the Liberty Air 2 and they both do this. They won't retain your custom EQ within the earbuds. I've asked on the Soundcore community and I've asked their support and they both tell me this shouldn't be the case.
The sound on these is EXCELLENT, however very sibilant (high frequencies too powerful) out of the box and will hurt your ears after about 30 mins of listening. So, I like to use the Bass Booster EQ, or the Treble Reducer and THEN the sound is VERY good. The bass can punch hard but without being overbearingly boomy like on too many earbuds and headphones these days. When you dial down the treble the sound becomes quite nice and flat, but still with lots of dynamics and punchiness. THIS is why having your EQ stored inside the earbuds is a great thing but these won't do it.
Pros:
Great sound IF you use the EQ.* These are bright (too bright out of the box for me) but VERY clear and have excellent separation imho.
Fantastic fit and comfort with lots of eartips. In fact, only Soundcore includes XL eartips that will fit my ears. L from most manufacturers do not work. When you get a nice seal, outside sounds are reduced passively to a great degree.
GREAT controls that can be customized! And once the controls are set, they are locked in unlike the EQ. They are very responsive, THE BEST CONTROLS I've used.
Great design and feel. These feel premium to me and very solid along with an IPX5 rating.
Mid:
The battery life is about 6.5 hours at 40% volume for me which seems lacking as I've had older buds that do 8-11 hours. I use buds all day to that amount of time is rather disappointing. The volume you use doesn't seem to affect it much as I've tried 30% and even 80% volume and 6.5 hours is what i get. The one annoying thing is that the "battery low" voice comes in very early, usually with over 30 mins left on the battery. It then repeats every 10 mins. The voice is VERY loud and startling so you kind of have to charge the earbuds and can't run them down because that voice is so annoying and persistent. I'd rather had 1x battery low warning with maybe 10 mins left.
So for me battery is barely acceptable, but compared to what many expensive brand names offer, the battery life is actually better (some earbuds costing 4x as much only give 3-4 hours of battery which is appalling). Considering that these are so compact, 6.5 hours is probably quite good.
Cons:
*The biggest one is that you have to re-open and apply your custom EQ (or turn on HearID) every single time you use these after charging. Every time. This makes using the earbuds with anything other than your phone a huge hassle (it's a hassle even if you just use your phone).
The sound is quite piercing at default, very sibilant. This can mostly be remedied with the app/EQ but again, you have to do this before every single use.
If it wasn't for the inability to save EQ settings in the earbuds I would probably give these a strong 4.5/5. especially on sale. But having to re-apply EQ settings before every use I personally give these a 3/5.
If you are somebody that likes the default sound and never use the EQ, and 6.5 hrs battery is enough, then these are a must buy.
Edit: I contacted Soundcore and they were very helpful and available. After having the same issue with my second pair they were willing to help me out and so I have to give them a 5/5 for support.
