"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"
"way better at blocking out noise—total game-changer if you’re commuting or stuck in loud places."
"A very nice phone quality with the best ANC phone call noise block ever seen in the world."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"
"I rate this, a well-deserved S tier in my book. I do not miss my IEMs in case I forget to pack them in, this alone suffices."

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."
"Artti T10 is best buy if we take prices into consideration ... T10 are crazy value, they're at least 95% as good as S08 and cost quite a bit less ... T10 is so good value that price to performance ratio with them is better than any cheaper IEM, not just the more expensive ones"

"I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day"
"battery is quite ok after about 4y of constant use. ... When new about 8-9h now 6h without NC. ... On NC no music or audiobook 5h ... With music or audiobook and NC 3-4h"
"been using for more than a year now still working as the day i bought them"

"I’d love to be able to run in them, but they would never stay in my ears. ... I’m afraid I already have tried each pod size. ... I had the air pod pro before that and they were the same. ... I even bought extra / different size pods and they didn’t work. ... I think Apple designed them for the most common types, but they just do not fit everyone. I’m sadly one of those people. ... Having had this issue for almost 6 years, I would be reluctant to run with them now."
"The AirPods Pro always slip out after 1-2 minutes of use on the left side (for me). I'm still trying to find a solution for this. One that doesn't involve fiddling with the foam."
"I have tried a bunch of different eartips for my airpods pro, both foam and speciality combined rubber + foam and they grip pretty well. ... But I find that if the earbud has some kind of rubber ring or lip around the speaker casing they seem to stay much much better than if they just have a better replaced rubber tip. Because the whole speaker is otherwise kind of moving around inside the outer part of the ear and pulls the eartip out more and more during the day so I have to constantly readjust and push in the earbud."

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"after about 6 months of use, the battery life fell off dramatically. ... I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes out of a full charge. ... This battery issue affected both sets of Elite 65t earbuds."
"my vivoactive 4s died a few months ago now after a few good years services, I wanted to change it. I couldn't because I had the change the whole watch, planned obsolescence."

"they sound pretty horrendous. ... Best thing I can think of to describe is that it sounds like the sound is being filtered through a tin can."
"the highs pierce my eardrums"
"I do have issues with the ANC crackling when listening to music though which is a pain in the ass."
Additional_Garage_20 1.0Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Mayby not best for gym but battery is quite ok after about 4y of constant use. When new about 8-9h now 6h without NC. On NC no music or audiobook 5h With music or audiobook and NC 3-4h Standard quality sound. There is LDAC but that eat even more battery. :)
AKBear78 1.0They can be worth it if you value them. IMO, I can't trust anything less than $100 USD. I've bought a few pairs to try to convince me otherwise but end up going back to my expensive earbuds. The lowest pair I own are the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, JBL Tour Pro 3, Apple Airpods Pro 2, Google Pixel Buds Pro, and Soundscore Liberty 3 Pro. My preferred earbuds are the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra and Sony WF-1000XM5. I want to try more expensive earbuds, but at that point, over the ear are better.
Alternative-Farmer98 1.0Honestly but nothing CMF pro 2 are a good option just because they have pretty much all the features to get ever ask for. They're probably in competition with something like the life p30i. Baseaus, earfu , soundpeats... If you're willing to get something older you might be able to save money on a more flagshio. I saw the Liberty 3 pro for $55 brand new the other day which would be a great deal although I do worry a little bit about the age of the battery.
I just turn ldac off typically. Even if multipoint worked I don't think it's worth a hit to battery life. Like my Liberty 3 pro get like 7 hours without LDAC and three and a half hours with them. The difference isn't noticeable enough for me to be willing to take the head in battery and stability. I do think it's important to have a second pair of earbuds though just because they have three points of failure. Each earbud has a tiny battery and the case. Two chips and miniatureized everything.
Alternative-Tone6631 1.0So, in addition to my thoughts below, I am still a fan of the soundcore liberty 3 pros. I recently saw refurbs on amzn for something like $70. refurb can be an experience… good or bad. a bit of a gamble. But if you get a good pair, they really are nice and you’ll get audio pretty close to the denon/sony/sennheiser/technics flagships.
I have had sony xm5, one bud plus 3, sennheiser momentum 4, technics az80, beats studio buds, air pods, and soundcore liberty 3 pros and liberty 4 noise cancelling. i’ve borrowed a friend’s b&o with the soundcore
btw… i mow the lawn and workout on a stairstepper with my lib 3 pros and they dont fall out. running might pose an issue tho… hence why id suggest the lib 4 pros… the form factor will provide a more stable fit.
Also, Ive recently purchased soundpeats capsule 3pro, earfun air pro 4, nothing ear 2025, and denon perl pros. I returned all of them except the perl pros. the auto eq is amazing. These edge out my lib3pros, plus im having charging issues with the lib3pros. The denon perl pros put a smile on my face.. Fantastic earbuds.
Ambitious-Count-8807 1.0I had these and think theyre terrible for metal. Just harshness overall, not really resolving. Az80 and liberty 3 pro are still a league above this.
Now youre saying that, it makes sense why my hear id always try tp reduce treble. But my personal preference is still a sparkly treble. (Hence the love of L3P and AZ80) i just find the treble on these soundpeats not as refined. It makes sense at the price point. I put Earfun Air pro 4 (better soundstage) and Nothing Ear 2024 (almost as good as L3P) a little above this. Liberty 4 pro is released yesterday and now im curious about those.
Liberty 3 pro. Nothing ear 24. Refurbished 3anc
I think my 3 year affair with the L3Ps is soon coming to and end my friend. I gave my old pair to a friend but still keeping the newer pair for memories sake.
Bro. Holy sht. Im a/b ing my tws collection today and realized im full of it. Listening to some Revocation album and the Liberty 3 pros destroys them all lol. Im returning my Denon Perl Pros tomorrow (lack separation compared to L3P, more muddy and has a weird timbre on the mids) It was a re purchase for 149. Still lost the 2nd time around. I thought the nothing ears were better too, but upon comparison the nothings are grainier and lacking resolution. The only one who can go toe to toe with them in my collection are the Status 3ancs, which has better treble reproduction (cymbals are more fleshed out, L3P sometimes have metallic treble). I just cant believe my ears. The L3Ps are still right there among the top (for metal). I just wished their midrange reproduction was better. For that i pull out my AZ80s. Now i am onto the Gemini 2s, If I dont find them SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than the L3Ps I am gonna lose my mind lol.
Azaz_el41 1.0yes. especially the liberty 3 pro.
Azzymuth 1.0Soundcore liberty buds 3 from Anker. Few days battery, decent price, good sound. Best quality price I ever tried
Bubsdaddy 1.0I don’t know what to tell you guys. I’m not a shill and I buy my earbuds with my own money. For me, the Earfuns were better as I compared the 2. Maybe the fit is better giving me a better seal. I tried both on the flight out and the flight back. I stuck with the Earfuns both times. I also prefer the Soundcore Liberty Pro 3 for flying. I used those on a flight from Portugal to Chicago and they were was no fatigue, the anc was great and the sound is better. I love the AirPods lineup. I have gen 2, gen 3, gen 4nc and the pro 2. Even though I have spent a decent amount of money on them and I probably will spend more. It’s just if I think another less expensive earbud is better or equivalent I do t mind saying so.
I feel your pain. I love the Liberty Pro 3 for the comfort, sound and noise canceling. I wear the Earfun open jump all day at work as I really can’t block out my coworkers. For open buds they check all the boxes for me. Also great for phone calls. The Earfun Air Pro 4 might do if you want really great bass and noise canceling.
DoubleDroz 1.0My S23 Ultra supports LDAC? I use it with a few different headphones. For example, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
Dry-Lawfulness-4356 1.0There are, imo, quite a few superb choices. I am strictly a "sound is everything guy" so, take it for what it's worth. My son bought me the AZ-100 as a birthday gift. I get it in two weeks but, since I used to be into pretty high end audio equip. (Wish I had all that money back...Ha) I always remembered how amazing my planar speakers were. Ultra clean...So, I just bid on a new/sealed set of Edifier Neobuds Planar earbuds and won the bid, which was 35% off current list. Great seller and honest. I still have the Soundcore Liberty 3 pro, which is excellent but, a hint of sibilance. Great bud though. The Edifier is absolutely mind blowingly great sonically! I mean I am amazed how good this little set of things sound! ....I've seen reviews and read reviews where the folks felt the bass is a bit weak, or missing, or the sound doesn't get loud enough. I mean folks...Go see a hearing specialist....Soon! These earbuds pack a natural wallop and go deep! At 50% volume they are loud to me and as for inner details and subtle harmonies, which flow along with the music, they continue to absolutely amaze me! I am "not" some kind of fanboy, or affiliated with Edifier. I am simply a huge music lover and am over the top impressed with these Edifier planar buds. Amazing sound...but....imo, not for the gym or jogging. For my style and habits a "Great Late Night Bud"! My incoming AZ-100 has it's work cut out and I know it's supposed to be really good. Good luck
