Anker Liberty 4 NC Wireless Noise

Some earbuds are designed for use while exercising whilst others are designed for more leisurely listening. These noise cancelling buds from Anker fall happily in to the latter category and are firmly designed to give you an immersive listening experience wherever you go with the ability to cancel out 98.5% of background noise. It achieves this through ANC 2.0 software, a noise isolation chamber and an oversized driver, all 3 combining to reliably block out external noise. The above-mentioned software employed to achieve this also helps when you are using the 6 microphones (tiny ones of course – you’re not going to be looking like some weird insectoid!) to make calls, giving your own voice a clear quality, eliminating the need to raise your voice, even in an area with plenty of background noise.

The connection is via Bluetooth 5.3 (the latest version), they are Android compatible and, although I started by mentioning this as not a set of buds to exercise with, they are rated IPX4 so they can handle splashes and sweat, just don’t go swimming in them! The battery life is pretty good too – 10 hours on their own that can be extended to 50 hours when combined with the charging case, giving you plenty of time listening to your favourite tunes or catching up on that movie-binging session you’ve been promising yourself. And, as it only takes 10 minutes to charge it for 4 hours-worth of use, you can make use of them in a snap if you’ve forgotten to charge them!

The sound is crisp and clear, helped out by the LDAC codec meaning more of the digital info getting to your ears (worth noting that this is only compatible with Android). It won’t pick up everything but when combined with the driver, the ANC 2.0 and the app that allows you to adjust the sound to suit you, you have quite the comprehensive and satisfying ear bud experience that you normally wouldn’t hit in this price range.
