Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro Review

SOUNDSTAGE is one of highlight and offer very spacious out of your head experience, its very wide and have good enough deep. 

IMAGING is nice in transparency, so the layers do not feel congested but put one again other, it’s more precise in higher region due to higher level of clarity than mid-range. Pinpointing every instrument isn’t very analytical, even if the sound surround you with grandeur. 

BASS is boosted, bassy, rumbly and transparent. It move good amount of air and veil slightly the lower mid-range-higher bass.

Still, due to dual driver, it tend to veil it with transparent layer of air. The slam is weighty and warm, not super fast and tigh. Midbass punch is softer than lower bass slam, lacking a little definition to sound really agile. Unlike single drive with similar signature, separation with bass and mids is better and do not tend to make overall sound congested, just slightly darker in mid-range. 

MID RANGE being notably recessed, it has a smooth, darkish clarity to it. Timbre and tonality is natural, tough both definition and resolution suffer from the emphasis of both low and highs end. We have a little boost in upper mids that permit female vocal to be more present. As well, an instrument like violin sound more lively in attack than a piano or lower mids instruments. 

TREBLE is beautifully crisp and snappy with the 2PRO, making it’s stock sound signature very appropriate for electronic, Drum&Bass and Rap. Its delicate and revealing in the top without sounding splashy or uncontrolled.

Sure, it’s not neutrality balanced with mid-range and make percussion or some micro-details jump more at you than mids instrument or vocal, nonetheless, i find it impressively vivid and brilliant. Lower treble that tends to give extra texture to the instrument is less emphasized. 

HEARD ID is a customize sound equalizer that is based on your hearing sensibilities to certain frequencies range regions. You need to pass an ‘’hearing test’’ in the app, so it can configure for your clearest sound possible. I do 2 times the test and the result wasn’t very similar, anyway, the second time I concentrate more so I will share impressions based on this one see here. 

The first thing I discover with the ID, it’s that sound volume is a little lower. Second thing is that vocal became a little more forward, but still rather thin in timbre. Imaging do gain extra precision, soundstage feel slightly more intimate than with stock sound no EQ, 

BASS is now flatter, still with a good amount of sub-bass but as well with more forward midbass punch. It’s slightly dry in timbre and moves less air than without EQ. 

MID RANGE is less recessed, with rather good clarity but some presence of grain in timbre. It’s brighter than warmer and liquid (and recessed) mids found in stock sound. Imaging is above average for a TWS earphones and this time your favorite singer do sound more present. 
TREBLE sound fuller in low and mids highs and more balanced, you got an overall well balanced W shape sound that tends to emphasis clarity and realist sound reproduction. 

PIANO EQ setting is my favorite of whole possible sound signature of Liberty2PRO (with the exception of custom EQ wich I do not test enough). It’s slightly similar to Heard ID sound tuning, but with more natural tonality and timbre as well as better sub bass extension. To note that Heard ID will most likely not sound the same with everyone. 

You have a bassy, slightly warm near neutral sound. The soundstage is very wide and enveloping while the imaging is quite precise tough not particularly sharp or snappy. 

BASS is weighty, transparent and enough punchy. It gently embraces lower treble in a cohesive way, which is impressive for dual dynamic and balanced armature that can lack natural transient response. 
MID RANGE has as much presence than low and highs, so it’s very well balanced and do not feel recessed. It’s smooth, transparent and free of any sibilance or harshness. 

HIGHS are crisp and lively, it has no difficulties showing you the micro details. It’s more snappy than sparkly, so it has more brilliance than natural decay.

COMPARISON:

VS HIFIMAN TWS600 (200$): 

Construction of Liberty2PRO is from another league here, as well as the physical control and features (the TWS600 do not have dedicated app). It terms of comfort, the TWS600 is more versatile in fit and lighter because of all plastic construction. As well, it can play slightly louder, but this is mostly due to its brighter sound. 

SOUNDSTAGE is deeper and more out of your head with TWS600. IMAGING is more precise due to higher level of clarity. 

BASS is weak and rolled off with the TWS600, making it feel very anemic and lifeless compared to bassier and more naturally extended bass of 2PRO. Its little more textured with TWS600, but dryer and very recessed in music. 

MIDRANGE is way more forward with TWS600, but brighter and sometimes too grainy compared to more relaxed and natural mids of 2PRO. 

TREBLE is crispier and more airy with the 2PRO, as well, it dig more micro details in upper range while TWS600 tend to have more emphasis in lower treble and lack in the upper region, so it delivers crunchy highs that lack brilliance and snap of 2PRO. 

All in all, these 2 are near opposite in term of sonority, the TWS600 being aggressively mid centric while the Liberty2PRO being U shape with extra mids presence. In term of musicality and versatility, the 2PRO is way more enjoyable.
