Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is a high-end, completely wireless earphone with a luxurious package design. Since it supports LDAC, you can enjoy high-resolution audio even wirelessly.
You can choose from two colors, Midnight Black and Cloud White, for the body color of Liberty 3 Pro.
You can access the ear tips and ear wings just by opening the box, so it’s nice to be able to replace them quickly. A charging case, a silicon ear tip, a USB A to C cable, and an instruction manual are included.
A typical earphone contains 3 different ear tips, but the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has 4 additional ear tips and ear wings (S, M, L, XL), so the ear size. It is possible to replace it according to.
Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro is an entirely wireless earphone that got “Recommended by 10 Grammy Award-winning producers”.
The driver (the part that makes a sound) used in ordinary wireless earphones is often about 6 mm in size, but Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro uses a significant driver of 11 mm.
The contents are the earphone body, charging case, USB cable (C to A), ear tips (7 sizes in total), ear wings (4 sizes in total), and instructions.
Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro ear tips and wings are available in the following sizes:
- Ear tips: XS, S, M, M +, L, L +, XL
- Ear Wings: S, M, L
If the ear tip is small, the bass will not be played properly, so try wearing it and check the sound to choose the tip that suits you. If there are so many types, you will indeed find one that suits you.
Design
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, the earphone body fits side by side when the charging case’s lid is opened.
It is an earplug canal-type earphone, so when you take it out of the case, it may be easier to take it out by picking up the ear wing. The earphone body has a glossy and high-quality design as a whole, and the SoundCore logo is on the back of the earphone with a built-in touchpad.
Whereas the previous model Liberty 2 Pro had a plastic style overall, the Liberty 3 Pro is finished in a fashionable metallic earphone.
The Earphone body of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is slightly slimmer and smaller than the conventional Liberty 2 Pro. Perhaps the driver’s review made the earphones smaller and lighter by about 30%.
Since the touchpad is mounted on the left and right earphones with the “d” logo, you can operate it by touching it with your finger.
- Left tap twice: Skip song
- Tap twice to the right: Play / Stop
- Tap left / right twice: answer / hang up a call
- Press and hold left / right for 2 seconds: Noise canceling
- Press and hold left / right for 1 second: Do not answer incoming calls
Since the touchpad does not respond with a single tap, it functions correctly. Earplug-type earphones have a narrow handle and may malfunction, so I’m personally happy that the tap is disabled once.
The Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro has a stylish design, and the SoundCore logo part is made of aluminum material, making it a luxurious item. It is small for this wireless earphone and weighs 7g per ear.
A physical button is mounted on the top of the earphone so that you can play, pause, skip, etc., the song at your ear.
- Press once: Play / Pause / Receive / End
- Press left twice: Play next song
- Press right twice: Skip previous
- Press for 1 second: Reject call, activate voice assistant
Volume adjustment is not supported, so you will have to start the voice assistant or use your smartphone to make small adjustments.
Sound
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro uses a large diameter 10.6mm size driver. The conventional model Liberty 2 Pro is 11 mm, so it is smaller. Still, it adopts the newly developed Anker’s original driver structure (ACAA 2.0) and realizes a 30% smaller size than the conventional “ACAA.”
The nose of Liberty 3 Pro is made of metal, which is hidden by the ear tips, giving it a luxurious feel.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has a sharp sound quality with solid bass. You can enjoy the high-quality sound with a very high resolution and a wide sound field.
The sound tendency is similar to Liberty 2 Pro, and it feels clearer. Another lineup of Soundcore Liberty Air 2 ProThe sound quality is better than
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro supports Ultra Noise Canceling function that can eliminate ambient noise according to the environment like Soundcore A2 NC and Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro. Liberty 3 Pro has been updated to version 2.0.
Anker’s original “ultra noise-canceling” is so-called “active noise canceling” that detects the ambient sound captured from the microphone and removes the noise.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can be set not only by using the touchpad of the earphone body but also by using the Soundcore app.
The noise-canceling function of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has an automatic mode added so that it can be optimally set according to the shape of the ear.
Although it is necessary to “optimize” first, the strength of the noise canceling is automatically adjusted according to the ambient noise level, so it is not essential to always set it on this side. Hence, it is very easy and good.
The noise-canceling performance is at the same level as the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro, and it feels like it is one step behind the AirPods Pro.
Car engine noise and road noise can be eliminated to some extent. The sound of air conditioning does not disappear when it is set to “maximum,” but it can be set to “silence” as it is when it is about “medium.”
Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro adopts “Soundcore’s original coaxial acoustic structure (ACAA) with balanced armature driver and dynamic driver arranged coaxially,” and it plays a sound that is unthinkable at this price range.
A dynamic driver that reproduces bass is installed around the driver, and a balanced armature driver that produces treble is installed in the center so that you can enjoy the pure sound without distortion.
Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro supports three codecs (data transmission method): SBC, AAC, and aptX.
- SBC: Common codecs
- AAC: Apple device, Android 8 or later codec with higher sound quality and less delay than SBC
- aptX: Android device codec with higher sound quality and less delay than SBC / AAC
AptX is not supported in many cases unless it is a high-priced wireless earphone, but Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro does keep it well.
Battery
The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro’s charging case has a rounded style. The size of the charging case is (55 x 70 x 28 mm), which is about the same size as a general earphone case and a little more compact than the old Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro.
The lid adopts a structure that makes you feel the future opened by sliding. It has a pairing button and a charging port on the back of the charging case and can be charged using the included USB-C cable.
You can use the included USB-A to C cable to charge with the power adapter that comes with your smartphone, such as an iPhone, and since it also supports USB-C PD charging, it has a USB-C port. You can also charge from your mobile laptop.
In addition, it supports not only cable charging but also wireless charging, so you can charge using a Qi-compatible wireless charger.
You can check the battery level of the charging case with the LED lamp on the front when you press the button next to the USB-C port or open and close the lid.
The maximum playback time of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is 8 hours with earphones alone in normal mode and 32 hours with case use, but if you use noise-canceling mode, high sound quality codec, LDAC, the battery drive time will be shorter.
- Normal time: Earphone alone 8 hours, case combined 32 hours
- ANC on: Earphone alone 6 hours, case combined 24 hours
- LDAC on: Earphone alone 4 hours, case combined 16 hours
- ANC + LDAC on: Earphone alone 3 hours, case combined 12 hours
If you use noise-canceling and LDAC simultaneously, the battery will be depleted for 3 hours with the earphone alone and 12 hours with the case, so those who want to use it for a long time need to be careful. If you use LDAC with the noise canceling function turned off, you can use it for 4 hours, which may be practical.
The Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro’s charging case supports a USB-C port, so you can charge it using the standard USB-C cable on your Android smartphone.
The charging case is equipped with an LED indicator so that you can check the remaining battery level in three stages.
You need to open the lid or press the small button on the back to see the battery level.
This button is insanely hard to press. If you open the lid and check the battery level, it’s good, so I think there is no problem.
Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro also supports wireless charging. The number of earphones that keep wireless charging has increased, but, amazingly, they are compatible with this price range. If you want to get rid of the hassle of cables, the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro is your choice.
