Our verdict
Where it wins
- ANC and LDAC hi-res audio at a price well below flagship earbuds
- Long battery life with fast charging in a pinch
- Multipoint Bluetooth pairs to two devices at once
- Companion app adds EQ presets and button customization
Where it loses
- Bass is tuned heavier than neutral, which won't suit all listeners
- Capacitive touch controls can be finicky to hit precisely
- IPX4 rating handles light sweat and splashes only, not heavy rain or submersion
The Liberty 4 NC undercuts premium earbuds on price while still offering real ANC, LDAC support, and long battery life. Bass-forward tuning and fiddly touch controls are the main compromises, but for the money it's a strong everyday pick.
Common questions
Do the Liberty 4 NC support LDAC on iPhone?
LDAC needs a source device that supports the codec. iPhones don't support LDAC over Bluetooth, so you'll get AAC instead; Android phones with LDAC support get the full hi-res benefit.
How much noise does the ANC block?
Anker claims up to 98.5% noise reduction under lab conditions. Real-world performance is strong for the price but a step behind $200-plus flagship ANC earbuds.
Can I connect to two devices at once?
Yes, multipoint Bluetooth 5.3 keeps it paired to two devices, such as a laptop and phone, at the same time.
