@kumar.sachin yes finally we can read your review on this Long time awaited product. Great review, and I have to honestly say I’m glad you really liked this and that the sound quality is so good. I imagine the 12mm driver is key here and the chip to bring everything together.
As far as the transparency mode, you said it worked great? So is it far better and more refined than what came in the liberty+… As in Anker went back to the drawing board and figured out how to make it work right?
Yes I really like the sound quality. 12 mm drivers really does make a difference.
For the transparency mode I don’t have Liberty+ to compare. I have Liberty which don’t have transparency.
From what I read online, to use the transparency mode on Liberty+ you need to use the app? (I’m not sure about this so may be you can correct me).
On Life NC the mode button (on left side of the band) cycles between ANC, Transparency and Normal mode which is very very easy to use. Just press the mode button and you are in transparency mode (no going into the app). Press is again and you are out of it into Normal mode. Press it again and you are back to ANC mode.
Another good thing is that you can skip the Soundcore app all-together and still these are fully functional headphone (without the added equalizer modes).
On the liberty+ you can enter transparency mode without the app, it’s long press the right earbud control. And my apologies as I thought you had the liberty+.
Either way it sounds like they made it much better and I can’t wait to eventually try these.
Nice to know about transparency activation on Liberty+.
I like the transparency mode a lot on these. Actually looking at all the features Anker packed on these headphone, there are surprisingly only 4 buttons to operate (2 on each side) and once you get used to it, switching between modes is instantaneous.
Very nicely done, reviews like this are supremely helpful when buying products one is unsure about.
@kumar.sachin This is one of the best reviews yet! Very detailed with specific information on fit, form, and function and photos do positively assist your review! Awesome job! Now the waiting game for a discounted price on these earbuds
Well done. 
Great review and photos! Good job!! 
Excellent review.
Have you had chance to test actual battery life against claimed 10 hours?
How good is noise cancelation relative to something else?
I typically use it in normal mode (ANC off) and yes it does go beyond 10 hours easy (cannot say the exact number). I typically recharge whenever I see it below 30%. Noise cancellation is really good (being in-ear helps it a lot) but you will need to play something to totally drown out the outside (albeit at much lower volume).
Please describe the situations you tested noise cancelation, some reviewers place a microphone inside the cam to illustrate on video reviews. I mention as I am looking for exactly this type of product (when it gets $60 which is 50% discount we will patiently expect)
Great review and congrats on being selected for the beta testing. This looks like a great product.
I don’t have very sophisticated equipment to do the noise cancellation tests. These are my subjective tests with background noise of TV, Washer and Dryer, Heat Furnace, Talking Wife, etc.
I know some reviewers put a microphone inside of a can (Over ear type). That won’t be practical in in-ear type buds.
Do you own any other NC items to relatively compare? I use Bose Qc35 and these Soundcore are in theory a perfect answer to me if the NC is up there. Just spent hours in a flight with my Bose, what NC does is reduce that inexplicable exhaustion from flying. Also around anyone under the age of 50 block their “music”
I have a Bose QC35 but that is whole other beast. NC is its speciality. There is no comparison.
I also have Space NC and Life 2 and Life NC is similar to them in ANC. But again, being in-ear helps.
Great review. Top ratings for added graphics
Really good review! I am blown away at the fact that you can use these without battery by using the weird ‘airline’ adapter! I’ve had pairs of similar style headphones from other brands and they didn’t do anything once they were dead! Also, the customizable buttons are a big plus. If I am in the market for headphones soon, these are the ones to get!
Great in depth review!
I hate to beat a dead horse, but at this price point USB-C should be standard.
If only for reversibility of cable and port.
