WEBVTT 00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:06.130 - Sponsored by Soundcore by Anker, we've got our unboxing of the Liberty 3 Pros. 00:00:06.130 --> 00:00:09.260 These have a host of improvements over the last generation, 00:00:09.260 --> 00:00:12.620 starting with la couleur. 00:00:12.620 --> 00:00:16.600 la couleur? Help me out David, how's my french? How's my- 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.330 - [David] It's pretty good. - Okay, cool. There's white, purple, silver and black. 00:00:21.330 --> 00:00:24.743 And obviously I'm going straight for the purple ones. 00:00:24.743 --> 00:00:28.100 - [David] Good choice! - Everything from comfort to sound quality, 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:32.010 to even the packaging. Nice. 00:00:32.010 --> 00:00:35.320 Seems to have been improved over the last gen. 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.430 Let's start with what they figure are the top selling points. 00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:42.210 Their Astria Coaxial Acoustic Architecture 2.0, 00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:45.810 which doesn't have any more elaboration on the box. 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 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, 00:00:56.530 --> 00:00:59.610 which can apparently be adjusted in terms of 00:00:59.610 --> 00:01:04.320 how much ambient noise it blocks. Personally, I think that's a really good thing 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. 00:01:10.610 --> 00:01:15.413 No, seriously. I use my ANC earphones all the time to not listen to music. 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. 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.940 You know what I mean? Let's go ahead and put on the small ear tips. 00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:27.423 There are small, medium, large and Chungus, man. 00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:31.960 Yeah. My ear canals are nowhere near that wide. 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:36.510 - [David] Not with that attitude. - I mean, they can be stretched. They can be stretched. 00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:41.090 We've also got three different si- oh, four difference included sizes of 00:01:41.090 --> 00:01:44.580 their kind of active wing tip things here. 00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:50.220 So let's go ahead and, Wow, this is pretty impressive. 00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:56.040 These were super easy to put on and are really freaking hard to take off. 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.090 Wow, that's a really good design. I've never seen this before. 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. 00:02:06.070 --> 00:02:09.220 Neat right? - [David] Yeah! - Now that we're looking more closely at this, 00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:13.100 you can see the insertion detection mechanism right here. 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. 00:02:16.810 --> 00:02:19.880 So a total of, I believe it's 30 hours, 00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:23.620 32 hours of battery life is held in the case. 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 00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:31.070 for the earbuds themselves. I like the style of these. 00:02:31.070 --> 00:02:36.070 That is a really cool purple in my opinion. 00:02:36.070 --> 00:02:41.260 One big improvement over last gen is that they are quite a bit smaller and lighter. 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, 00:02:45.730 --> 00:02:49.250 but the lighter you can make these things, 00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:52.380 the better pretty much, cause that's really going to help them stay in. 00:02:52.380 --> 00:02:55.480 Now I think I did get the size of my wings and my ear tips right 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. 00:02:59.067 --> 00:03:01.550 Okay, here we go. I've got to brace myself here. 00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:09.010 Not bad, not bad. I managed to loosen the right side. 00:03:09.010 --> 00:03:13.160 So I might actually, I might have asymmetrical ears, 00:03:13.160 --> 00:03:16.940 might need a slightly bigger earpiece for this one. 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. 00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:24.670 Good noise isolation. I haven't actually experienced the noise cancellation, 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. 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. 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:40.080 This is a pretty cool case, considerably larger still than the AirPods Pro case. 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.960 But boy, are we ever getting closer. Like I think this looks like 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.127 it might be earphones pocketable. Let's find out. We're ready? 00:03:50.127 --> 00:03:54.000 - [David] Oh yeah. Easy. - Yup. Well their previous ones have been quite a bit bigger. 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. 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 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. 00:04:09.670 --> 00:04:14.460 Hey, look at that. There's my USB-C cable. No wall wart included. 00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:17.760 Although, I get that with earphones. 00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:20.930 Open the charging case and they will just automatically go into pairing mode. 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 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.490 or you can force it. Not bad, I think the active noise canceling is working now. 00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:34.995 Oh, hey! Is this our restock beanie tube things? 00:04:34.995 --> 00:04:40.010 - [Nick] Yeah you bet. - Yay! lttstore.com baby. 00:04:40.010 --> 00:04:44.160 Do we have new colors? - [Nick] You bet. - Nice. 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.420 Wait. We're not actually doing a pink one are we? - [Nick] Uh, No. 00:04:47.420 --> 00:04:50.540 We've got replacements if people need them. - Sorry, sorry you guys. 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. 00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:57.220 Let's see if I can figure out how to turn the ANC off. 00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:02.713 Okay. Hi. - [David] Hello. - Yep. That pass-through is working confirmed. 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. 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. 00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:18.977 We are back. And this time the app has been updated on the Play Store. 00:05:18.977 --> 00:05:21.990 Liberty series, boom. Liberty 3 pro. 00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:25.630 Here we go. Touch range is highlighted in the blue area. 00:05:25.630 --> 00:05:29.515 Four gestures. Press, double tap, triple press and long press. 00:05:29.515 --> 00:05:33.720 Okay. Here's one of the things I really wanted to try out. 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.960 Oh. Vocal mode, fully transparent. So, If you want to hear like traffic or whatever. 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 00:05:42.020 --> 00:05:46.640 only let through voices I guess. How you doing David? - [David] I'm doing fantastic. 00:05:46.640 --> 00:05:51.930 Did you know the average Blue Whale is actually smaller than 16,000 elephants? 00:05:53.681 --> 00:05:57.622 - 16? How many elephants? - [David] 16,000 elephants. - 16,000 elephants? 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. 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.840 Okay. Thank you, that's very helpful. They both sound about the same with voices, 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. 00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:16.070 Okay. One of the big functions in their software is the HearID test, 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. 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:28.072 So, oh man, look at this. I got to click this third button here, 30-40. 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? 00:06:32.066 --> 00:06:35.820 Or does that not matter? - Oh, I guess that's not a terrible idea. 00:06:35.820 --> 00:06:39.753 The ear canal test needs to be taken in a noisy environment. 00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:44.889 Wow. That's really interesting. David, can you say something? - [David] I'm speaking, 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 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.790 dialing in the noise cancellation and transparency modes 00:06:52.790 --> 00:06:57.510 so that your music sounds basically the same. 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 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.560 sounding more like an open back headphone when you're in transparency mode, these don't. 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.583 They sound like IEM. So if you like the IEM sound, 00:07:10.590 --> 00:07:13.890 these are always going to sound like IEMs. Even if pass-through is on. 00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:20.290 Impressions without LDAC, little hollow sounding, not super rich. 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. 00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:29.030 That's more to my liking. Definitely find the highs a little bit, 00:07:29.030 --> 00:07:33.020 almost too crisp out of the box, 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, 00:07:37.530 --> 00:07:41.650 I mean, hey. Yeah, this may be true to what the artist intended. 00:07:41.650 --> 00:07:45.946 Like nice and flat. You know, once we've compensated for my hearing. 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, 00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:53.110 but I'd like to boost this a little bit. Definitely addresses the lack of fullness 00:07:53.110 --> 00:07:56.293 that I was hearing with the default EQ curve though. 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.660 Would strongly recommend running the wizard, if you get yourself a pair of these 00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:04.113 which of course you can do at the link in the video description. Thanks for watching. 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.
