Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro vs Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX

The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is not everything you ever wanted. The main concern is battery life and device switching/connecting. Hopefully this can be sorted out over time. I should have gone with the AirPods Pro which has about the same battery life but better device switching or the Sony WF1000XM4

None of my friends complained about the call quality so I assumed that was good. I have AirPod pro 2 and the mic gain is turned up so high that they are picking up the road noise while on a call driving my semi (why I tried the B&O’s). What I did not like and main reason I returned them was the battery life. I could only get 3

Once you start sweating they slide right out. Noice cancellation is total trash. Connectivity is unreliable—I often have to put them back in the case, disconnect and reconnect. All in all— definitely NOT worth $400

The good news is that the ANC is awesome, the sound quality is awesome too, especially on the LDAC codec, and they're super comfortable. I bought some Comply foam eartips for them, because they were a massive upgrade in some other buds I've owned in the past, and if they're any better than the silicone eartips that come with the Liberty 3 Pros, I can't tell, so I stopped using them and went back to the stock ones. All in all, these are quite nice, if you don't mind jiggling the earbuds to get them to connect properly, but I do mind that. Especially after it happened on three pairs in one month

Firstly, they connect via the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology and secondly, they support aptX adaptive codec which is great if you are an audiophile. ...

So testing, testing one, two, three. Obviously I'm indoors. It is a semi-quiet room. So testing, testing one, two, three

I enjoy my buds feeling absolutely secure in my ear. For $400 I expect a factory option of extended length memory foam tips. These do not have that option. If you do manage to get some extended length tips installed you'll find that the charging case will prevent you from charging your earbuds because they did not factor in enough space in the charging case for longer tips

However, I don't use LDAC mode and still have these issues and have seen other people with the same complaint. Also, the earbuds don't always connect properly when taking them out of the case. Sometimes one bud won't connect and I have to put them back in the case and pull them back out. Furthermore, when putting the buds in the case to charge/turn them off, it does not always work

I experienced strange random disconnects while listening to music with the phone in my pocket, similar to when you've walked out of bluetooth range. I've never experienced this on any other earbud and here it happened repeatedly.

From that unboxing experience to the crazy build quality and all the features they packed into these we're going to talk about later, plus all the adv...

Beoplay EX are the most comfortable and best sounding wireless earbuds I've ever used. I've used about 25 pairs. They also have an IP57 rating and multipoint.

Evaluating vs Sony XM4 buds: these k(Liberty 3) are more comfortable in my ears, stay put much better (they have wingtips), and important for wireless, they have great customizable controls. Sony falls far short in the controls and you are forced to choose 2 or of 3 functions (volume, play/pause/skip, or transparency/ANC). Usually with my phone in a pocket, bag or the next room, I want all three of these functions at ones. Liberty 3 and Samsung earbuds allow this

Everything else hurts my ears after extended use. I would not purchase these for noise cancellation nor transparency modes as airpods do much better in my opinion.
