Great audio quality TWS for android: Soundcore liberty 4 nc

[ehabheikal]

I have the samsung buds 2 pro with a samsung phone. Although the buds 2 pro are not cheap i never really liked their sound even when corrected with wavlet and have been looking for a good set of tws. So these were my requirements.

Ldac bluetooth codec support which android supports by default and is near losses
Low distortion
Profile available in wavelet to properly eq them or good harman compliance

i went to rtings and sorted by weighted distortion and checked for ldac support and found soundcore libertty 4 nc as number 13 from 800 tested. Ichecked and its profile was downloadable for wavelet.

I pulled the plug and got it. It was less than half the price of the samsung buds.

With wavelet correction the sound is close to the truthear crinacle red.
The nc works well but it changes th sound signature and there is no profile in wavlet for nc mode.
The transperancy mode is useless.
It comes with only small and large tips no medium.

It plays loud enough an clean things the samsung could not do, that is what is important.
You have to enable LDAC in soundcore app and in device bluetooth settings
The sound without wavelet correction is bass heavy.
There are settable soundprofiles in application so ios users might find a good setting for them.

Did you ever use B2P with the stock tuning, or play with the native sound tweaking options? I have to ask because some load EQ corrections immediately by habit and TWS measuresment have accuracy problems for technical reasons.

I tried all options including stock and multiple wavlet profiles. It could be that i was comparing to truthear crinacle red, which may be unfair.

This is a wavelet correction for souncoreliberty 4 nc based on rtings measurements. They did not specify if it is for normal or NC mode i feel it works for the normal but still helps tame the bass of the nc mode

Now rtings responed and the measurement is for anc mode on so use this wavelet file in anc mode. It still sounds good in normal mode especially if you cut bass by a db or 2.

Moondrop Space Travel sounds very good - for only 24€, I compared them myself and with my Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro - the Samsungs are absolutely terrible! I sold them on eBay..
LDAC 96KHz/24bit has no added value if the headphones are poorly tuned and simply suck!
