The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are Anker's best-reviewed sub-$100 earbuds, the ones reviewers keep flagging as punching well above their price. Adaptive ANC reads the noise around you and adjusts in real time, claiming up to 98.5% reduction on subway, plane, and office hum. The pairing of an 11mm driver with LDAC support gives you Hi-Res audio when you feed them the right source on Android. Battery life is the headline number that actually matches: 10 hours per bud, 50 hours total with the case, and a 10-minute fast charge gives you 4 hours back. Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint lets you stay connected to a laptop and a phone at once. Best fit: commuters, work-from-home calls, or anyone who wants Bose-class ANC without spending $300.
Pros
- Adaptive ANC genuinely cuts subway and airplane drone, not just a marketing number
- 50 hours of total battery with the case is multi-week real-world use for most commuters
- Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint stays connected to laptop and phone at the same time, switches calls cleanly
- LDAC Hi-Res support gives Android users a real bump in audio quality on lossless tracks
Cons
- Touch controls are sensitive, you'll occasionally pause a song just by adjusting the bud in your ear
Frequently asked questions
Do they work with iPhones too?
Yes, full Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and the Soundcore app on iOS. The LDAC Hi-Res codec is Android-only, but iPhones still pair fine and use AAC.
How does the ANC compare to the AirPods Pro 2?
Reviewers consistently put it within striking distance of the AirPods Pro 2 for plane and subway noise, slightly behind for fine voice rejection. At one third the price, that's the trade most people are happy to make.
Will they survive a workout or rain?
They carry an IPX4 rating, which means sweat and light rain are fine. Don't submerge them, and dry them off before putting them back in the case.
Can I use one earbud at a time?
Yes, single-bud mode works on either side. Useful for calls when you want to stay aware of the room.
What's the difference between Liberty 4 NC and Liberty 4?
Liberty 4 has spatial audio and an in-ear heart-rate sensor, and costs about $50 more. The Liberty 4 NC has stronger ANC and similar core audio, which is why it's the better-value pick for most buyers.
