The Liberty 3 Pro earphones, which are available in black, gray, lavender, or white, are more concerned with audio quality and fit than with making a stunning design statement; they aren’t ugly, but they do look a little boring. They come with four pairs of silicone eartips in various sizes, as well as four pairs of ear wings that fit around the oval body of the earpieces like a sleeve and provide additional stabilization. The audio is delivered internally by a dual-driver array comprised of a Knowles balanced armature for the highs and a 10.6mm dynamic driver for the lower frequencies. The earphones are Bluetooth 5.2 compatible and support the AAC, LDAC, and SBC Bluetooth codecs, but not AptX. Because LDAC is included, you can use this pair for high-resolution streaming if your source device also supports that codec. The controls are handled by capacitive touch surfaces on the earpieces. They require a double tap by default, and the right earpiece controls playback while the left skips forward a track. A double tap on either ear also answers or ends incoming calls. To switch between ANC and Transparency modes, hold either panel for two seconds (which lets you hear your surroundings). This layout is not very user-friendly, and some functions are disabled by default. However, you can add or rearrange functions to some extent using the app. The IPX4 rating is standard in the true wireless ANC world; the earpieces are splash resistant, but they should not be exposed to high water pressure or submerged. In any case, they should be fine for a sweaty workout; just make sure to dry the earpieces before docking them in the case, as the water-resistance rating does not apply to them. Consider investing in the IP57-rated Jabra Elite 7 Pro ANC earbuds if you want a more durable pair.
