Hey there! Thanks for tuning in :) I forgot to mention the HEAR ID sound test which tailors the sound to your specific hearing. For me it didn't really do anything but it is nice they kept that feature there as I have heard this improves the sound for some people.

Hi back at ya, my head is scrambled after watching all of your comparison videos! (great advice though, as I did manage to cross a few off). I think I've got it down to 3 now!!! Which would you go for out of these: earfun air pro sv @ £48, Anker Liberty 4 @ £112, Soundcore Space A40 @ £67 UK price. Thanks :)
@pickyaudio Жыл бұрын
Air Pro SV is the best value. Liberty 4 is the best op if you don’t mind spending a bit more. But it’s only slightly better than the Earfun SV

Their customer service is top notch in my experience as well. I have a pair of Liberty 2 Pro (LDAC version) and a button was beginning to stick. I emailed them and they sent me a brand new pair and let me keep the old pair as well. I've got those, Q30s (right before the Q35s with LDAC came out) and Dot 2s for hiking since the battery case and earbuds have 100hrs of battery life and they absolutely won't fall out during heavy activities. I'm a customer for life unless something drastic changes.

They do have a great customer service. I bought a Q30 as a Christmas gift for my brother in 2022. Now I have 3. The fist one's headband started breaking after a few months (not an uncommon occurrence according to reddit). Anker sent a replacement and told me to keep the broken one. We fixed it with a couple of screws and I kept it for myself, while my brother took the new one from RMA. During the last months, the headband pad started to come off and one of the ear pads started to tear on both my brother's headphones and mine. Exact same thing a few months apart, and we are both _very_ careful with our stuff. Anker sent replacement headphones again for my brother's (which was still under warranty) and told us again to keep the old ones. We were able to buy replacement ear pads from a third party seller for ~$25 (20 € actually) and somewhat fix the unglued headband pads. So now we have three functional headphones... but they also all have visible, ugly screws on the headband to fix or prevent it from breaking, and god only know how long it will be before the pads start tearing again or something else goes wrong. While getting free products is certainly interesting, I still think I'd rather get one reliable product than a bunch of unreliable ones.
