The good news is that while this is the default sound, it's not the only one. The Soundcore app serves up customization in a couple of different ways, the more interesting being its "HearID" feature. This plays a series of beeps to test how well you can hear different frequencies at various volumes and uses the results to craft a sound profile that's specific to you. The earbuds are touch sensitive on the outside. Tapping the ‘d’ at the top of the stalk activates the controls. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The Guardian An IPX4 rating means the earphones can withstand light splashes, some exposure to rain and sweat, and can be wiped down with a damp cloth, but should never be soaked or rinsed under a faucet. This modest water-resistance rating is becoming something of a standard with many true wireless in-ears that aren’t expressly designed for exercise. While Transport is clearly designed for passengers of planes, trains and automobiles, I found it more effective than the Outdoor profile for quieting traffic while walking near roads. Unsurprisingly, these little earbuds can't entirely silence harsh sounds like generators or speeding cars, but they can bring them down enough that music drowns them out at moderate volumes.

As I noted in my 1MORE Aero review, I’d also appreciate the option to have one of the controls toggle the spatial audio on and off, to save having to dive into the app so frequently. The control scheme is missing a touch and hold function, so that would be a neat place for the spatial audio to slot in, and I would have liked to have seen Anker make volume adjustable by sliding a finger up or down either stem, too. Likewise, on the receiving end, speech could perhaps be slightly sharper, but sounds full rather than scratchy and metallic (like on the Sennheiser CX 400BT), with good volume. Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro review: Verdict Golden sound via 10.6mm coaxial dual driver technology (ACAA 2.0) and personalized active noise cancelling (HearID ANC)The Air 2 Pro are standard Bluetooth 5 earbuds and support the universal SBC and AAC audio standards used by most devices. Each earbud can be used on its own but they do not support seamless switching, meaning you have to manually disconnect them from one device to connect to another. Still, while that might be an underwhelming result for non-ANC buds, it's a pretty good showing when you factor in the extra drain of constant noise-cancelling. They even narrowly beat the AirPods Pro, which lasted 4 and a half hours in our testing, though Sony's WF-1000XM3 seem to be the overall ANC earbud winners on longevity. We’ve experienced a few minor problems in connectivity during testing: one momentary audio cut out while listening to an album, and an occasion during one song where audio would cut from one earbud to another. They were momentarily lapses though, and we're confident that connectivity stability, overall, shouldn't be a problem for the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air. Sound

The Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro make for a respectable voice-calling tool. The friend I called reported lower overall clarity than if I were speaking directly into my phone, but I was still coming through strongly and at least sufficiently clearly. ACAA 2.0: Our exclusive coaxial dual driver technology delivers high and low frequency sound directly to your ear without interference. Its wide soundstage is detailed and spacious, bass has a deep punch, mids are luscious, and treble sparkles.There are two ambient awareness modes, one for full transparency and one targeted at only allowing voices through. The full transparency mode is reasonable but a bit quiet and less natural sounding compared with the best. The vocal mode is very good, allowing me to have a full conversation with other people while still maintaining some noise-cancelling. A couple of minor issues aside, the Liberty 4 are a roaring success, pairing excellent sound with a great range of features and customisation options. Spatial audio is closer to the 1MORE Aerothan premium offerings from Sony and Apple in terms of its efficacy, but certainly adds enough immersion to films and breadth to songs to justify its inclusion. Costing just over half the price of Apple’s AirPods Pro, the Air 2 Pro are comfortable, have a good battery life and connectivity, look good and work well. They also sound far better than you would expect for the money and have surprisingly effective noise-cancelling. The noise cancelling effect works best on low frequency sounds such as engines, air conditioning, etc. Noise reduction is not as effective on medium and high frequency sounds such as human voices, whistles, etc. The battery cannot be replaced in the earbuds or case, however, ultimately making them disposable and losing a star.

Remember, also, that HearID isn't a magic "fix the bass" button. It tailors the output to individual users, so your results may sound different from mine. But even if you don't find the results as agreeable as I did, you can still manually adjust the EQ using the Custom profile in the app to get these earbuds sounding however you want. Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro review: Features The connection was solid to an iPhone 12 Pro and Galaxy S21 Ultra but I could not test them in a congested area because of the Covid-19 restrictions in the UK. Pairing is also manual but you only have to do it once per device. Open the case, press and hold the button to put them into pairing mode and find them in the Bluetooth settings of your smartphone the old-fashioned way.What was surprising was how powerful their bass performance can be. Listening to the Childish Gambino album ‘Awaken, My Love!’, we were surprised at how strongly the sub bass elements came across (even if they did sound a bit flabby). They certainly won’t bother audiophile grade alternatives, but for no-fuss day-to-day commuting use, they could be a perfect travel companion.

The earbuds fit well and make a good seal in my ear, which helps sound quality and noise-cancelling. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianBattery life comes in at around nine hours in-ear, with the charging case pushing the total up to 28 hours. Those figures fall to seven and 24 hours with ANC enabled, or five and 15 hours with spatial audio turned on. The Liberty 4 support both wireless and fast charging, with the latter providing up to three hours of listening from 15 minutes on charge.
