Hey! Hope everyone is doing well! I have been lucky enough to get to have tried out the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC as a gift from attending the Anker Recharge Event. Huge thanks again to @AnkerOfficial for inviting me it really was a blast to be there. Also, shout out to @Robert_Hoffman for trading colors with me so that I could have my favorite color blue! Shows the community is made of some of the kindest best people out there. (I didn’t forget you @Matt_Tabor you’re great too 
) With all those thanks aside I figured I’d use this post to show off the unboxing and initial impressions I had and have this be my photo-heavy post while my post coming next week will be my full review with more in-depth discussion. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will answer them to the best of my abilities.
The Unboxing Experience:
The Outside of the Box:
The front of the box highlights the claim of reducing the noise by up to 98.5% and the 10 hours of playtime with 50 hours with the case.
The sides of the box have one side listing out a couple of the features and showing the change in playtime with ANC 2.0 on
The back of the box has a further breakdown of the specs of the earbuds.
A slight touch that I loved was the seals on the box have little messages highlighting that they are not plastic which if you wanted the anker recharge event you would have heard a lot about Anker’s dedication to being more eco-friendly.
Inside the box:
Upon opening the box the earbuds are wrapped in a small piece of paper that shows how to open them by pressing the button on the front of the case.
Underneath the earbuds are the standard papers that come with any Soundcore earbuds including the quick start guide.
Under that is the variety of ear tips that have a paper cover similar to the paper wrapped around the case. there is a nice pull tab making it easy to get to the ear tips underneath. It also comes with a USB C to USB cable for charging the case.
The earbuds in the case have little stickers blocking the charging pins so make sure to remove them before trying to charge. My earbuds and case came fully charged out of the box.
First Impressions and Thoughts:
I thought it was an interesting case design having the user push a button to be able to access the earbuds. The original concern was that the case couldn’t be opened with one hand but that proved to not be the case. The magnets in the case that hold the earbuds in are really strong like surprisingly strong how aggressively they hold the earbuds but I kind of enjoy that since I don’t have to worry about the earbuds falling out. Another thing to note is you don’t have to actually press the button to get the case to open you can technically just push the top of the lid to get it to open since the button seems to just move the magnet internally away and doesn’t actually undo any latch holding the lid shut. This reassures me a little that if the button ever breaks you can still open the case but it is an interesting design choice.
I don’t love that this opening mechanism makes it a little different from what I am used to when my earbuds sit open on the desk but it will take some getting used to that the lid props open the case more than I am used to. The light at the bottom of the case changes colors when the case is really low giving you a visual indicator when you need to charge the case but no actual indication of how much battery you have unless you check the app. This doesn’t bother me personally but something to note for those who look for some percentage indicator on the case.
When you open the case the earbuds light up which I do kind of enjoy it creates a nice user experience and makes it easy to see if the earbuds are charging, pairing and just where they are if you are in the dark.
I like how the earbuds fit me personally but everyone’s earbuds are different so take that how you will. They kind of remind me of the life p3 that I have and quite enjoy how they fit. This leaves me optimistic for long-wearing sessions as well as having a nice seal which will help with the noise canceling whether enabled or not it should block out a lot of ambient sounds or at least muffle them.
I am most excited to fully test the noise canceling as that is a priority to me as well as the battery life. I love that these have wireless charging and claim to have amazing battery life which for me having earbuds that can keep up with how often I need them would be amazing!
Just some more photos

(guess you could say these earbuds are out of this world
)
Let me know if you end up picking these up or if there are any questions you hope I answer before I come out with my full review. If you want to get these yourself you can get them on either Amazon or on the Soundcore site and they come in a variety of colors besides the light blue that I have them in.

Stay tuned for my full review coming in about a week when I have time to use them a little more to put together a full review for all of you.
