My Liberty 3 Pros recently died, so I reached out to Soundcore for a warranty replacement. Since the Liberty 3 Pro is completely sold out, they offered me the Liberty 4 Pro instead. I just received them today.
My original plan was to sell the 4 Pro and put that money toward the 5 Pro since it’s the newest model. But after reading a ton of comments across different subreddits, it seems like the 4 Pro is actually the better choice, especially when it comes to raw sound quality. I don’t use ANC much, so that upgrade doesn’t matter much to me. Comfort and sound quality are my top priorities.
Given everything I’ve read, I’m now leaning toward just keeping the 4 Pros. Anyone have thoughts on whether that’s the right move?
They 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.
Honestly 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.
Fit is never universal. So unfortunately it's hard to give good data on fit.
I recall a lot of people didn't like the way the Liberty 3 pro fit but it fit me like a glove. Vice versa on new pro or the Liberty 4 pro.
I don't think sleep buds are all that unique in that what fits for some people might not fit well for other.
I 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.

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
