Review - Soundcore Liberty 5

For the money, probably the best value earbuds with excellent ANC (active noise cancelling). With a price of €99/£99/$129 these light weight and highly pocketable buds are just the ticket.

The ANC use 4 of the 6 microphones for typical noise cancelling and during a call it uses all 6 and monitors 3 times a seconds. You can also use the preset options for aeroplane and car travel. Supposedly blocking voices twice as effectively as previous models.

Sound quality is also very good for me (not an audiophile). Bass is good, Soundcore has added dual bass-enhancing tubes that amplify the low frequencies resonance while increasing air flow to offer more powerful, yet balanced bass reproduction. Mids and treble are also very good and I didn't feel wanting utilising a newly designed 9.2mm flexible wool-paper driver, providing the most accurate playback of all frequencies. The option for Dolby give you 3 settings for Movie, Podcast or Music. Don't forget to turn it off as voice on YouTube for example just sounds weird.

Additionally, users with compatible Android devices can enable LDAC for the highest-quality audio transmission with high resolution playback.

Charging the earbuds in the case for just ten minutes provides up to five hours of playtime. Additionally, users can take advantage of the 12 hours of playtime with ANC turned off and 8 hours with ANC enabled. When both the earbuds and case are fully charged, the Liberty 5 offers a total of 48 hours of battery life with ANC off and 32 hours with ANC on.

Finally, for individual customisation capabilities, the Liberty 5 will be compatible with the Soundcore app, as well as the newest version of HearID to help consumers tailor the sound to their hearing profile. An 8-band customisable EQ is also available, as well as a number of preset sound profiles.
