A lot of in-ear headphones for little money: Soundcore surprises with solid sound, good ANC and nice special functions (volume measurement).
- Broad and detailed sound
- Powerful battery
- Numerous setting options
- Very good price-performance ratio
- Inferior feel
Soundcore delivers. The Liberty 4 NC impress with their bass strength and customisable sound as well as other features such as ANC, a powerful battery and operation on the earpiece. Even if the app doesn't excel in all functions, it has implemented many important options in a sensible way...
