1 00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:06,130 - Sponsored by Soundcore by Anker, we've got our unboxing of the Liberty 3 Pros. 2 00:00:06,130 --> 00:00:09,260 These have a host of improvements over the last generation, 3 00:00:09,260 --> 00:00:12,620 starting with la couleur. 4 00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:16,600 la couleur? Help me out David, how's my french? How's my- 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,330 - [David] It's pretty good. - Okay, cool. There's white, purple, silver and black. 6 00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:24,743 And obviously I'm going straight for the purple ones. 7 00:00:24,743 --> 00:00:28,100 - [David] Good choice! - Everything from comfort to sound quality, 8 00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:32,010 to even the packaging. Nice. 9 00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:35,320 Seems to have been improved over the last gen. 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,430 Let's start with what they figure are the top selling points. 11 00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:42,210 Their Astria Coaxial Acoustic Architecture 2.0, 12 00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:45,810 which doesn't have any more elaboration on the box. 13 00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:51,110 But basically there's a Knowles balanced armature driver as well as a 10.6 millimeter dynamic driver 14 00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:56,530 in each earphone. There's six microphones. So that's part of their HearID active noise-canceling, 15 00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:59,610 which can apparently be adjusted in terms of 16 00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:04,320 how much ambient noise it blocks. Personally, I think that's a really good thing 17 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,610 because there are times when I want to block just a little bit of my kids being too loud. 18 00:01:10,610 --> 00:01:15,413 No, seriously. I use my ANC earphones all the time to not listen to music. 19 00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:19,760 You know, but I still want them to be able to talk to me if they're hurt. 20 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,940 You know what I mean? Let's go ahead and put on the small ear tips. 21 00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:27,423 There are small, medium, large and Chungus, man. 22 00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:31,960 Yeah. My ear canals are nowhere near that wide. 23 00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:36,510 - [David] Not with that attitude. - I mean, they can be stretched. They can be stretched. 24 00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:41,090 We've also got three different si- oh, four difference included sizes of 25 00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:44,580 their kind of active wing tip things here. 26 00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:50,220 So let's go ahead and, Wow, this is pretty impressive. 27 00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:56,040 These were super easy to put on and are really freaking hard to take off. 28 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,090 Wow, that's a really good design. I've never seen this before. 29 00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:06,070 I like it. They've got a little lock in there. Look at this. It's a little lockie boy in there. 30 00:02:06,070 --> 00:02:09,220 Neat right? - [David] Yeah! - Now that we're looking more closely at this, 31 00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:13,100 you can see the insertion detection mechanism right here. 32 00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,810 So that'll be able to tell if it's in your ear or not. There's your charging contact points. 33 00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:19,880 So a total of, I believe it's 30 hours, 34 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,620 32 hours of battery life is held in the case. 35 00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:27,310 So that'll give you four charges. And then there's 8 hours of rated battery life 36 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:31,070 for the earbuds themselves. I like the style of these. 37 00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:36,070 That is a really cool purple in my opinion. 38 00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:41,260 One big improvement over last gen is that they are quite a bit smaller and lighter. 39 00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:45,730 So they're still not going to be as small and light as something like an AirPods Pro, 40 00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:49,250 but the lighter you can make these things, 41 00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:52,380 the better pretty much, cause that's really going to help them stay in. 42 00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:55,480 Now I think I did get the size of my wings and my ear tips right 43 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,067 so we can do a quick shake test. You ready for the shake test David? - [David] Yes. 44 00:02:59,067 --> 00:03:01,550 Okay, here we go. I've got to brace myself here. 45 00:03:05,610 --> 00:03:09,010 Not bad, not bad. I managed to loosen the right side. 46 00:03:09,010 --> 00:03:13,160 So I might actually, I might have asymmetrical ears, 47 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,940 might need a slightly bigger earpiece for this one. 48 00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:21,050 It feels like it's not quite as snug of a fit, but the left one held really, really well. 49 00:03:21,050 --> 00:03:24,670 Good noise isolation. I haven't actually experienced the noise cancellation, 50 00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:29,140 so let's go ahead and get it paired to my phone. One cool thing is that they support multipoint connectivity. 51 00:03:29,140 --> 00:03:35,680 So you can have two devices connected to them at once. And the case charges either wirelessly or over USB Type-C. 52 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,080 This is a pretty cool case, considerably larger still than the AirPods Pro case. 53 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,960 But boy, are we ever getting closer. Like I think this looks like 54 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,127 it might be earphones pocketable. Let's find out. We're ready? 55 00:03:50,127 --> 00:03:54,000 - [David] Oh yeah. Easy. - Yup. Well their previous ones have been quite a bit bigger. 56 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,513 I think Soundcore is moving in a really good direction in terms of the size of the case. 57 00:03:59,390 --> 00:04:03,720 Alright, let's throw these in pairing mode. I'm assuming that it's pressing this button 58 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,793 is what pairs them, but I don't actually know that for sure. I mean, I guess there's always instructions. 59 00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:14,460 Hey, look at that. There's my USB-C cable. No wall wart included. 60 00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:17,760 Although, I get that with earphones. 61 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,930 Open the charging case and they will just automatically go into pairing mode. 62 00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:26,160 Oh, alright. Well that's the LED indicator flashlight. Okay, so you can just automatically put it in pairing mode 63 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,490 or you can force it. Not bad, I think the active noise canceling is working now. 64 00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:34,995 Oh, hey! Is this our restock beanie tube things? 65 00:04:34,995 --> 00:04:40,010 - [Nick] Yeah you bet. - Yay! lttstore.com baby. 66 00:04:40,010 --> 00:04:44,160 Do we have new colors? - [Nick] You bet. - Nice. 67 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,420 Wait. We're not actually doing a pink one are we? - [Nick] Uh, No. 68 00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:50,540 We've got replacements if people need them. - Sorry, sorry you guys. 69 00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:53,730 If you had your heart set on getting a pink one, that is not going to be a thing. 70 00:04:53,730 --> 00:04:57,220 Let's see if I can figure out how to turn the ANC off. 71 00:04:57,220 --> 00:05:02,713 Okay. Hi. - [David] Hello. - Yep. That pass-through is working confirmed. 72 00:05:03,790 --> 00:05:09,680 So I tried to install it and it basically just said, app not installed, which was self-evident. 73 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,740 You won't have this problem because you'll be buying this product after it's available. 74 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:18,977 We are back. And this time the app has been updated on the Play Store. 75 00:05:18,977 --> 00:05:21,990 Liberty series, boom. Liberty 3 pro. 76 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:25,630 Here we go. Touch range is highlighted in the blue area. 77 00:05:25,630 --> 00:05:29,515 Four gestures. Press, double tap, triple press and long press. 78 00:05:29,515 --> 00:05:33,720 Okay. Here's one of the things I really wanted to try out. 79 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,960 Oh. Vocal mode, fully transparent. So, If you want to hear like traffic or whatever. 80 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,020 So cause you don't want to get hit by a car. I guess you want fully transparent. And then vocal mode is supposed to 81 00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:46,640 only let through voices I guess. How you doing David? - [David] I'm doing fantastic. 82 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,930 Did you know the average Blue Whale is actually smaller than 16,000 elephants? 83 00:05:53,681 --> 00:05:57,622 - 16? How many elephants? - [David] 16,000 elephants. - 16,000 elephants? 84 00:05:57,622 --> 00:06:02,040 - [David] So the average Blue Whale is smaller than that. - Smaller than that. Yeah, that makes sense. 85 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,840 Okay. Thank you, that's very helpful. They both sound about the same with voices, 86 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:12,220 but we don't have a lot of ambient noise here to sort of compare their functionality with. 87 00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:16,070 Okay. One of the big functions in their software is the HearID test, 88 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:22,120 which will actually test your hearing and then adjust the EQ of the headphones based on that. 89 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:28,072 So, oh man, look at this. I got to click this third button here, 30-40. 90 00:06:28,072 --> 00:06:32,066 - [David] Should you try them before doing that and then do it, so you can hear the difference? 91 00:06:32,066 --> 00:06:35,820 Or does that not matter? - Oh, I guess that's not a terrible idea. 92 00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:39,753 The ear canal test needs to be taken in a noisy environment. 93 00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:44,889 Wow. That's really interesting. David, can you say something? - [David] I'm speaking, 94 00:06:44,889 --> 00:06:49,720 this is me speaking. - Oh, okay. Yeah. That's working then. They've done a really good job of 95 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,790 dialing in the noise cancellation and transparency modes 96 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:57,510 so that your music sounds basically the same. 97 00:06:57,510 --> 00:07:01,600 But the flip side of that is that while the AirPods Pro do a good job of 98 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,560 sounding more like an open back headphone when you're in transparency mode, these don't. 99 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,583 They sound like IEM. So if you like the IEM sound, 100 00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:13,890 these are always going to sound like IEMs. Even if pass-through is on. 101 00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:20,290 Impressions without LDAC, little hollow sounding, not super rich. 102 00:07:20,290 --> 00:07:25,420 It's nice to just have a super easy to use EQ built right into the software. 103 00:07:25,420 --> 00:07:29,030 That's more to my liking. Definitely find the highs a little bit, 104 00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:33,020 almost too crisp out of the box, 105 00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:37,530 but you can turn them down. It's kind of too bad you can't go in and just say, 106 00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:41,650 I mean, hey. Yeah, this may be true to what the artist intended. 107 00:07:41,650 --> 00:07:45,946 Like nice and flat. You know, once we've compensated for my hearing. 108 00:07:45,946 --> 00:07:48,990 But it'd be nice to be able to go in there and say, okay yeah, that's fine, 109 00:07:48,990 --> 00:07:53,110 but I'd like to boost this a little bit. Definitely addresses the lack of fullness 110 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:56,293 that I was hearing with the default EQ curve though. 111 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,660 Would strongly recommend running the wizard, if you get yourself a pair of these 112 00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:04,113 which of course you can do at the link in the video description. Thanks for watching. 113 00:08:04,113 --> 00:08:08,730 Thanks to Soundcore by Anker for sponsoring the video. And we'll see you guys in the next one.
