Design

The Soundcore Liberty Neo looks premium with its glossy finish on the charging case. The earbuds themselves are light to hold and fit securely on the ear. I like the fact that it comes with a set of earbud fins. It doesn’t come off the ear easily for any workout activity.

However, the Liberty Neo looks big compared to other earbuds. After a while, they feel uncomfortable to the ear. I wear them for two hours tops. I won’t recommend them if you have small ears.

Sound Quality

The sound is very good. I find it well-balanced. It has a punchy bass and a clarity on the vocals. I enjoy listening to a wide genre of music with the Soundcore Liberty Neo.

Charging Case

The charging case is one of the largest among the TWS devices I have tried. But it is still portable and quite nice and smooth to handle. My only complain is that it still uses the Micro USB port instead of the USB-C. I don’t like bringing an extra cable just for 1 device.

Music Controls

The Soundcore Liberty Neo uses a button on both buds to control the device. You may need to press it a bit hard. Sometimes, I prefer a physical button for the music controls like in the Liberty Neo. It avoids accidental touches that can pause the music or end a call.

Battery Life

Battery life is rated at just 3.5 hours. Based on my actual use it was close to 4 hours. Still, this is way below the normal 5 hours of battery life of most wireless earbuds. Anyway, I don’t recommend it to be worn for more than 2 hours.

Soundcore Liberty Neo Review Summary

The Soundcore Liberty Neo gives you quality sound for a lesser price. It has a premium look and connects fast with the phone. The earbuds get uncomfortable though, so don’t wear them too long.

Where to Buy

Soundcore Liberty Neo is available at the Soundcore stores in Lazada and Shopee. The SRP is at 5,495 PHP but it goes lower than 3,000 PHP when on sale.
