Anker Soundcore Liberty Air Review

The Soundcore Liberty Air earphones from Anker have excellent sound quality. Our Editors’ Choice for budget-friendly true wireless headphones has simple settings and water-resistant construction. The white AirPods are now at the top of our list of the best fake AirPods available. Anker’s Soundcore Liberty Air true wireless headphones aren’t spectacular, but they give excellent audio quality, good for the price.

Design:

The earphones are perspiration and water-resistant thanks to an IPX5-rated coating. Each earbud is protected by a soft-plastic shell that is slightly more durable than the AirPods’ casing. The charging case from Anker is sturdy, with magnets on the inside to keep the buds secure and safe. To access or store the buds, the lid readily opens.

Controls and Setup:

The Liberty Air has more programmed motions and touches controls than the AirPods, but it’s not as responsive as Apple’s buds. The right earbud is solely responsible for call management. Because there are no volume controls, I had to use my smartphone to control the level. The device had trouble communicating with other devices.

Performance:

The drivers in the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air have a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The earbuds provide a lot of low-frequency depth on tracks with a lot of sub-bass material, such as The Knife’s “Silent Shout.” The bass doesn’t distort at high, irresponsible listening settings; at lower volumes, it’s still audible and well-matched with the highs. The voice performances are crystal clear, although there is a little extra sibilance.

Comfort and Fit:

The gadget weighs 2.1 ounces, which puts it in a different weight category than the AirPods (1.3 ounces). Because of its thinner profile and smaller design, Apple’s charging case is more travel-friendly. The ear tips are delicate and secure in their fit.

Call Quality and Connectivity:

The Liberty Air is adequate as a calling headset. People could hear me clearly and I could understand what they were saying even if the calls sounded low. Because the microphones are sensitive to background noise, you won’t be able to hear very well in noisy environments. Connecting to a device takes longer, and dropouts are more common on the left bud.

Audio Quality:

The Anker Liberty Air wireless earbuds are clearer than Apple’s AirPods when it comes to music and low-frequency sounds. Because the Liberty Air isn’t known for its highs, several instruments, such as finger cymbals and violin, remained unnoticed. The buds are good for blocking out street noises like boisterous pedestrians and truck engines, but not horns or sirens.

Battery Life:

The Liberty Air earbuds from Anker boast a 4.5-hour battery life, which is comparable to the AirPods and far longer than most devices in its price range. I wore the buds for 1.5 hours each day, which lasted three days before needing to be recharged. Three charging cycles are stored in the charging case, allowing a further 15 hours of entertainment.

Digital assistant support:

Both Siri and Google Assistant are supported by the Anker Liberty Air buds, but their weak touch sensitivity and speech recognition makes them a hit or miss for digital assistants. Outside, using the feature was worse because the heavy traffic noises drowned out my voice. The buds couldn’t tell if I intended to pause music or open Google Assistant while listening to music.

Pros:

• Reasonable. 
• Excellent audio with a lot of basses. 
• The design is waterproof.

Cons:

• Battery life is average.

Conclusion:

Anker’s Soundcore Liberty Air true wireless headphones aren’t spectacular, but they give excellent audio quality, good for the price.
