Sound quality:

We found the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro delivers sound quality that falls in the good range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound and excellent active noise reduction. With the noise cancelling mode engaged (as received, HearID analysis not run, Wind Noise cancelation not enabled) and the Soundcore app equalizer set to Soundcore Signature (default) the bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) is very prominent and boomy, has excessive impact, and doesn't go deep. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is a bit thin and constricted, somewhat grainy, a bit hazy and etched (a bit more sharply outlined then it should be), and can be overwhelmed by the bass. The treble is extended but is prominent and sizzly. The sound also has a good sense of liveliness and is open--sound-wise it seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears and does a good job of recovering room ambience. Mixed character - warm bass with cool midrange and treble. The overall sound can be summarized as very bassy, but otherwise a bit thin and etched, and somewhat grainy. The Soundcore App tonal presets and EQ adjustments have a noticeable effect on the sound. Noise Canceling: Excellent noise reduction across the entire frequency range with the low frequencies reduced the most. Orientation changes the noise reduction characteristic - when the noise is coming from the front a bit more high frequency noise can be heard. A faint rushing sound can be heard in quiet environments when there is no audio program to drown it out.

Comfort and Fit:
As typical of in-ear models they produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening might be uncomfortable for some. Users with small earbowls might find that the earphone body feels a bit bulky in their earbowl and that they stick out too far and feel like they may lever out of place and are mostly held in place by the section of the earphone that is inserted in the ear canal, but that they will stay in place during casual use and that they are fairly stable even during vigorous head movement. Users with medium and larger sized ear bowls will probably find that with the earbowl supports this model stays in place with no problems for casual use and that they are very stable even during vigorous head movement.
