Currently, these are all the earbuds I've listened to: Liberty 2, Liberty Air 2 Pro, Life P3, Airpods (3rd Gen), Airpods Pro (2nd gen) [not pro 2s], JLAB Air, JBL Free, and some other no names.
Originally, I bought these headphones at the price of $120. When I got them I thought "hey, these are a pretty good value for earbuds with noise cancelling." When compared to normal airpods, I preferred the sound quality of these earbuds. Of course the pros were better in terms of features, and my Liberty 2s were comparable. For all other buds I listed these are much better in terms of sound quality. Let's get into the features:
Transparency mode: The normal mode makes your voice feel boomy because of hearing your voice conducted through your cheekbones, but the vocal only is pretty good. This is probably the mode that you see the most difference between these and airpods. It's not the best, but it's usable.
Noise Cancellation: Pretty good, blocks out low noise, high noises get through. My roommate snored very loudly and when playing music it was tolerable, but it wasn't enough by itself. However I wouldn't be surprised if listening to the snoring raw was damaging to my ears (yes I know noise cancelling doesn't combat pressure waves, just humor me). I swear I could hear that guy from across the building.
Sound Quality: Pretty good. I've owned the m50xs from audio technica and while the Soundstage is not nearly as good, for casual listening I find these enjoyable. What's great about them though I'd the soundcore app has a huge amount of eqs and a customizable eq so you can make it sound the way you want. Also, for Android it does have LDAC support.
Battery Life: After over a year of use, it's still pretty good. I get a little over a day of pretty constant listening, and if I go to bed forgetting them in my ears with the volume low I will wake up and some days they still are playing. So best case probably around 7 hours ish for the earbud with no noise cancelation no LDAC and low volume. When you turn all the features on though it definitely drops the battery life, probably to around 4 ish. However the case charges really fast.
I thought these were pretty good for $120. Now for $50 with a 25% coupon they're a great deal. I might update this review once I get my galaxy buds2 pros in a few days though.
(Edit)
I have had my buds 2 pros for a significant amount of time and I'll summarize the differences:
The transparency mode of the buds 2 Pro is significantly better, it feels much less stuffy.
The active noise cancelling of the buds 2 pros is marginally better but because of the size of the earbuds themselves the Liberty 2 pros offer more passive noise cancellation than the buds.
The size is a big difference for me as the buds 2 pros are much smaller and therefore much more comfortable to wear when laying down.
The sound quality of the buds 2 pros is noticeably better but not overwhelmingly so.
The buds 2 pros battery is actually worse than the liberty 2 pros.
However, the buds 2 pros are over $200 and the Liberty 2 pros can be found on sales for the price I stated originally. I do not think you get 4x the value for spending 4x the money, especially if you aren't a samsung mobile device user. There are some other features that the pros have (360 audio, find my buds) that to my knowledge the liberty 2 pros do not have, but the biggest thing that makes the Liberty 2 pros a great buy for the price is the customizability you have with the app, and solid performance for the price. Unless you have money to burn to get something that's maybe 1.5x as nice for 4x the money, I'd go with the liberty 2 pros. Yes, they are not the best in the market. But, they are still very solid and at a very steep discount compared to other buds.

Better than my Bose headphones
Great first impressions! I'm comparing to my current Bose Soundsport wireless headphones and I will be selling those on FB marketplace as soon as I'm finished writing this.The medium sized buds they came with are just a hair uncomfortable so I switched to the medium+ size offered in the box and a much better fit for me. I tried all the other sizes just to see and this is just what worked.I downloaded the app and instantly did the firmware update. Once complete I started messing with all the ACN settings. I was in my car in the parking lot idling and could barely hear the engine in "transport" mode, when I got home I could barely hear the baby crying in "inside" mode so a big win there. To those that reviewed hearing a crackling noise with the ACN, did you do the firmware update? If so and if that didn't fix it, is your cheek touching the tip of the headphone? So far I haven't had any issues and I toggled with all the settings on the ACN and really happy with it. The only crackling I heard was when my cheek rubbed up against the tip of the headphones microphone and a quick adjustment in my ear fixed that.I haven't worked out with these yet but I did an aggressive head shake and with the right sized buds I didn't lose a headphone out of my head. A sweaty HIIT workout will be the true test later, but as of right now I'm not concerned.Lastly the EQ settings are great once you find the one that suits you. I personally liked the classical or R&B preset EQ but I ultimately just customized my own. Make sure you try different EQ settings with ACN on and off, they sound different so adjust accordingly.My one complaint is the touch settings, they could be a little more sensitive but it just might be me not tapping perfectly in the right spot. I do like that you can customize what the tap settings do to suit your needs.
