Overview

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro is an entry-level closed-back wireless model that was first brought to the market in mid-2019. It boasts an IPX4 rating for water resistance and comes with stability fins to provide a better fit for sporty individuals.

Similar to some of the top-rated headphones on the market, these earbuds feature the fairly new Bluetooth 5.0 standard that is efficient in terms of battery usage for sound transmission.

But this model doesn’t support multi-device pairing, unlike the best wireless earbuds.

These Bluetooth earbuds feature a whopping seven pairs of ear tips and three pairs of stability fins that sit on your ear canal for comfort. And it has physical buttons for controls.

If you don’t like the feel of stability wings, visit our Anker SoundCore Life P2 review. Unfortunately, these earbuds don’t have active noise-cancellation tech and rely solely on passive noise isolation.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pros are a great choice for those looking for a budget pair of TWS earbuds that offer excellent sound quality.

While it does not provide a very stable wireless connection despite supporting Bluetooth 5.0, it does have an excellent continuous battery life, which was tested at up to 7 hours.

It also offers an extremely comfortable fit, as it comes with silicone stability wings and eartips of different sizes. But sadly, it doesn’t have ANC. If you need something that offers a neckband design, then take a look at our Sony WI-C200 review.

The Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro offers good-quality physical button-based controls and comes with a premium-feeling wireless charging case. However, the case is not very durable and doesn’t have any water resistance.

Weighing in just at 0.02 lbs, the Jabra Elite 75t wireless pair of earbuds are slightly lighter than the 0.04 lbs Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro.

The Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds support the active noise-canceling tech that provides a significantly better noise isolation performance to block background noise than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro.

The older Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 wireless earbuds are the predecessor to the newer Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro in-ear headphones, and the brand has made a few slight improvements over the older model. For example, the newer Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro features a fully redesigned stemless chassis that is significantly more comfortable to wear for longer periods compared to the SoundCore Liberty Air 2 earbuds.
