Speculate as to specs and price below. With the “much anticipated” words ringing, these are my guesses

• ANC obviously as they state that, but is ANC accomplished same time as as good or better than L2P?
• but all throw in all the features we’ve seen earlier,
• like wear detection,
• golden sound implies hi-res audio
• and LDAC
• ambient as they added that to L2P+
• case has wireless charging, USB-C as this is becoming de-facto from Soundcore
• Do you think they’ll have the “find me” feature from Life P3? I think that’s easy to implement and there’s certainly enough threads of “I lost my…” so I was wondering if find-me of the case (so the case has a speaker within) and the buds like the P3?
• Do you think they used my idea of combining HearID with better ANC? Or is that in the product after as I think too far ahead?

What’s lacking, is then added into the Liberty Pro Professor Edition ™ ?

ANC of Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro

I think what Soundcore can do is a better job in using HearID to detect the maximum feedback tolerance on per-fit and per-bud basis and so raise each bud to it’s maximum on a per-fit per-bud basis so on average most people hear better ANC and ambient. They have to move to a more intelligent use of HearID where it makes a loud feedback sound and lowers it til the feedback stops, across the frequency spectrum, on a per-bud per-user per-fit basis. They have the necessary technology, so it’s just a matter time.

Nice list… Here comes the massive announcement we’ve all been waiting for

[The_Professor]

Indeed, and first of many I suspect through October, building up some great products for the holiday season. It’s been a tough year for some, and electronics shortages drove technology prices up and now signs of improvement.

I’ve scrolled back and my first Liberty 2 Pro + ANC words were February so yes long anticipated. The fact they still hadn’t put ANC in the L2P Upgraded + means it has been quite the challenge so good luck to Soundcore on Thursday.

How important is ANC to you?

I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the engineer having to solve this. The Liberty 2 Pro are due an upgrade next, logically (I have no inside knowledge,just speculation). Source [image] [image] [image] The last picture shows what is inside 1st and 2nd picture, an armature and then driver. To add ANC would involve placing a microphone between the grill and the armature and for it to not wrattle, and for the whole unit to still fit in the ear and not have increased tendency to fall out. I s…

If they come with those awful ear wings from Liberty 2 Pro then it is a NO.

[The_Professor]

What exactly was wrong with them and what would you recommend is better? How could you tell if you saw a review? Would you have to try them in your ear to know?

[Fernando_Benini]

They don’t fit every ear style (I’m one of those cases) which makes the buds to fall off. They rely only on the back of your ear to hold, and if your ear is not properly shaped they will never get a grip properly, specially when you talk on the mic and move your jaw.

The best ear wings I’ve tried are the AirWings from Life Dot 2. Unfortunately, they only come on lower price models without the best features. I have friends that bought the same products and said the same thing about them.

[The_Professor]

Oh that.

Yes I’m the same, I’ve had Neo, LA2, P2, they all fall out so I only use them sat down so they fall to the sofa. I only go out and move with the Slim wired buds, or use overear.

Fortunately the only money I wasted was £35 for the Life P2.

Which is why I keep mentioning this

Suggestions - around neck wired buds and a Nano successor

Thanks to Soundcore I have had a wealth of new audio products, some I’ve bought, some gifted by Soundcore. Most of them get gifted away. Why? Well the Soundcore product I still use the most are the Slim buds, these have wire around neck and controls in the wire. I like them for this reason: [image] I don’t have to store them in pockets, cannot lose them so easily And: [image] If they fall out of my ear, they land on me and not on the ground! I’m often moving with just one in my ear so …

Suggestion: make some good audio sunglasses

When I leave my home most days I am on a bicycle, and I grab my sunglasses (winter - plain glass) and put my Anker Slim buds around my neck, I may pack a small speaker (Nano, Icon Mini…) and go. What I’d like to see from Soundcore is a more cost-effective version of these: Why I have not bought the above: huge, very chunky. Not remotely ever going to buying something this chunky price. My interest in the product is way less than this example product. My wishlist: minimalist design, I wa…

Current wishlist

So to keep this top of Soundcore engineer’s minds. Never rest! Here’s a summary of musings, ordered in what I want most at top: Slim wired buds uprated. Add Ambient and ANC and Partycast II. I don’t want TWS. A small speaker - Nano II, with IP rating, smaller than the Icon Mini. You can then with Partycast II have a swarm of them having left channel in left side of a big room, right channel opposite, and some mono in other rooms. A slim elegant version of Bose Frames. “Soundcore it” with a re…
