Still rare in the True Wireless Bluetooth headphones, the double transducers deliver a more precise and clear sound by sharing the frequencies to be reproduced between two small speakers.Called ACAA (Astria Co-Axial Acoustic Architecture)))), this technology goes into version 2.0 with the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro.But this is not the only asset of these headphones, which promise an effective noise reduction and excellent call quality.

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 PRODESIGN
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro headphones are intra-ear and therefore in the ear canal.They are particularly compact and also devoid of stem.It is their ovoid shell, molded so as to harbor at the pavilion of the ear, which has a tactile control zone.The manufacturer delivers different silicone caps to adjust the outfit in the ear, as well as several tips.Soundcore has mixed different plastics, black and gray, mats and shiny, to highlight the curve of headphones.There is no need to say, their finish is good and the quality perceived clearly premium.
Well fixed to the ears and comfortable
The presence of a silicone cap around the shell makes these headphones both ultra-stable and pleasant to wear.Once in place, they do not move an iota: you can walk or trot serenely.

In addition, I did not feel any fatigue by wearing them for hours.
Small compatible box load Qi
The storage box is a horizontal sliding valve model, with internal LED lighting.There are also three LEDs on the front, indicating the level of charge of the earphones or the case.A button is present at the rear, alongside the USB-C port, to force pairing or reset the headphones.The case is compatible with the Qi wireless load.
Anker SoundCore Liberty 3 Proussage and Application
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro headphones are easy to live.Their implementation in the ears is intuitive and the touch areas are correctly reactive.The default settings avoid false manipulations, since it is necessary to tap twice, or proceed to prolonged support to change the volume, pause, take a call or activate the old.The SoundCore App also makes it possible to reprogram each touch zone separately, and even activate the simple contact (a pressure)))) to make the action of your choice.

The only downside is perhaps the sense of insertion of headphones in their storage box, which is not intuitive.But just get into the habit.The main thing is that they no longer move once magnetized.
A practical and efficient app
The SoundCore application is a model of the genre, both hyperfunctional and user -friendly.It proposes, in addition to updating the headphones, the personalization of tactile orders (for each earpiece)))), multiple adjustable equalization profiles, a system for measuring the hearing capacities of the user, the choice between several intensities ofANC or a Bluetooth connection manager.
The asset of this app is, no doubt, its equalizer with 8 frequency keys, with an adjustment amplitude of more or less 6 dB.It allows precise and useful adjustments, which can be recorded in new profiles.The app already offers a dozen, rather well felt and which can even be used as a base to create personalized profiles.
The Hearid function, which claims to measure the hearing acuity of the user, is especially there to amuse the gallery.This is a system for measuring each ear, which generates a personalized equalization profile.The test consists in the dissemination of a succession of sounds of variable intensity, from acute to serious.For everyone, the user must indicate whether or not he understands it.In practice, no matter what you answer, the proposed equalization curve strengthens high frequencies excessively.However, you will read it further, the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro do not need it.
La page principale de l’app Soundcore Le codec LDAC est proposé avec les smartphones Android Les tests auditifs proposés sont superflusOn Android, the choice of the LDAC codec is to be made in the app, failing which the reception will be done in AAC as under iOS.If the LDAC codec is chosen, the Multipoint Bluetooth connection is disabled.It is not a phenomenon inherent in these headphones, but a bandwidth limitation that impacts all LDAC headphones offering Multipoint Bluetooth.On this point, the app integrates a Bluetooth manager, to possibly delete memorized devices and accelerate automatic reconnection to a favorite smartphone.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Active noise PRODUCTION
Soundcore offers several levels of ANC for Liberty 3 Pro, which can be chosen manually in the SoundCore App.Objectively, it is not used for much, as soon as there is an adaptive (automatic)))) mode which adjusts the level of attenuation according to the surrounding noises.The ANC is effective and deletes deaf noises (car engine, bearing, etc..)))).Strint noises nevertheless reach the ears despite the ANC and passive insulation that is very good.It’s inevitable anyway.
The fact remains that listening to the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro in the street, or by shopping at the supermarket, is a pleasant experience.Note that low frequencies are automatically reinforced at high volume when the ANC works.

Transparency mode is convincing, with two modes: normal and voice.In the second, medium frequencies are reinforced to follow more easily a conversation.
Stable multipoint bluetooth connection
The Bluetooth connection was stable throughout this test: reading is not stopped despite a wooden floor and a distance of almost 10 meters.Ditto in the street and in the middle of a crowd.
La latence Bluetooth est intégralement compensée dans les apps de streaming (YouTube, Netflix, Plex…)))) sous Android comme iOS.No annoyable offset no longer in most Android and iOS games.
The multipoint connection is possible, to use the headphones simultaneously with a smartphone and a computer for example.However, in this case we must give up the benefit of the LDAC audio codec, as explained above, because it requires too much bandwidth for a double connection.

The acoustic particularity of the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is based on the use of a double transducer.So these are two -way headphones, with a first dynamic transducer of 10.6 mm in diameter and a second with balanced reinforcement.
Pour rappel, un transducteur dynamique s’apparente à un haut-parleur traditionnel (à membrane circulaire)))), tandis d’un transducteur à armature équilibrée est une minuscule boite avec un tube diffuseur. À l’intérieur, une tige (armature)))) oscille entre une bobine et des aimants, afin de faire vibrer un tout petit diaphragme.It is the latter that produces sound.This type of transducer is exceptionally swift and very finely reproduces the medium and acute frequencies.In this case, these are acute frequencies.

Soundcore baptized its ACAA 2 transducer.0 (Astria co-axial acoustic architecture)))).This acronym refers to an a priori patented technology, which implies a coaxial positioning of the two transducers.Concretely, the reinforcement transducer reproducing the acute sounds is placed in front and in the axis of that devoted to the low and medium frequencies (the 10.6 mm circular)))).Their diffusion axis being the same, we are talking about coaxial transducer.In hi-fi as in sound, this type of speaker is very widespread and makes it possible to disseminate the sound more homogeneously.Brands like Tannoy or Kef have made a specialty for decades.
A technical challenge
Marry two different technology transducers is never easy. Cela implique de filtrer chaque transducteur pour qu’il ne marche (joue)))) pas trop sur les platebandes de l’autre, sans quoi la portion de fréquences dans la zone de recouvrement (crossover)))) est massivement amplifiée.Manufacturers of acoustic speakers do not make it mystery, it is a whole art.Soundcore achieves it with some success, but you have to play the equalizer so that things come back to order.The small balanced reinforcement transducer signed Knowles - the specialist in the matter - is particularly nervous and we hear it far too.One of two things one: either he has a frankly ascending curve beyond 5 kHz, or his sensitivity is greater than the dynamic transducer of 10.6 mm ... and the manufacturer simply did not filter it to mitigate it.The treble is far too forward, very shiny, and corrupts the stamps.Fortunately, this can be perfectly corrected by removing 5 dB on the 6.4 kHz key and 6 dB on the 12.8 kHz key from the equalizer proposed in the app.

This equalization is imperative and is worth it, because it calms the army of the transducer with frame, without degrading its dynamic behavior, very profitable for audio performance.Note that equalization is applied by headphones and stored, which allows you to benefit from it - after setting with a smartphone - with any Bluetooth source (computer, television, etc..)))).
Test configuration
I listened to the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro with an iPhone 13 Pro Max, a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G and a MacBook Air M1, in Bluetooth AAC and LDAC, from Apple Music (Lossless)))).For once, the gap between the LDAC codec and the AAC is noticeable, especially with 24-bit / 48-96 kHz ALAC titles from Apple Music.We then gain a little sweetness and additional seat at the bottom of the spectrum (under Android)))).
Sound signature
Après égalisation, la signature sonore des écouteurs Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro est physiologique (courbe en V)))), avec une mise en avant maîtrisée des registres grave et aigu.The restitution is therefore flattering for the ear and allows prolonged listening, even at high volume.
Sound scene
The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro bathe the listener in a very dense sound bath.Despite the very proximity of the various sound elements, the impression of space remains suitable.In any case, we completely immerse music or films.
Dynamic behavior
Let's get to the heart of the matter, their dynamic behavior is the strong point of these headphones.The restitution is super alive, powerful when the music requires it, sweet when necessary, in short, credible and always catchy.Faced with this type of headphones, it is always good to listen to difficult songs, which only reveal all their quintessence with good transducers.For example Malaguena Salerosa from Chingon (Bo de Kill Bill Vol.2)))), un titre à la dynamique compressée, très dense, où les guitares sèches et électriques se mêlent joyeusement aux cuivres, alors que l’artiste chante aussi fort qu’il peut.Well, it goes cream with the Liberty 3 Pro.

Plus complexe encore, Bonfire de Knight Party (BO de Breaking Bad)))), qui peut facilement virer à la torture auditive, est joué avec une articulation inattendue.Another example of this good management of dynamic deviations: an action film such as Star Trek Into Darkness, listens to very loud volume without experiencing hearing fatigue.Everything is clear and in its place.

The quality of vocal calls offered by the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro is excellent.The user's voice is clearly audible and the surrounding noises are effectively filtered.Conversely, we hear the interlocutor very well.It is also a strong point of these headphones.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Autonomy
Soundcore announces up to 8 hours of autonomy without old. J’ai mesuré l’autonomie des Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro à 50 % du volume de mon iPhone, ANC active (mode max)))) et obtenu 5h10, pour une écoute dans la rue (20 %)))) et chez moi (80 %)))), depuis Apple Music et Netflix.Flirting with the 5 hours of autonomy in mixed use seems a good result, especially as up to 3 hours of autonomy can be recovered, for 15 minutes of load.Complete recharging of headphones takes approximately two hours, and that of the case as much.The latter offers 3 additional charges.
