Soundcore has launched powerful new headphone and earbud models, just in time for the festive travel season.
A man can pride himself on his resilience and his patience, both of which are virtues. But if there’s any time when both will be tested, it’s the Christmas travel season, when the world seems to be a frenzy of screaming children, bellowing aircraft engines, scratchy announcements and endless calls from loved ones asking about your travel progress.

And that’s why having the right headphones as you embark on the festive season (or on any adventure really) is vital, as they offer a little mental respite, the chance to capture your favourite tunes in all their digitised glory, and a means to patience in a world seemingly gone mad.
Fortunately, there’s no shortage of headphone and earbud models out there, and the newest, the elegantly designed Liberty 4 Pro earbuds with Soundcore’s most advanced Adaptive ANC system and the space-saving Space One Pro noise-cancelling headphones with a unique foldable design, have arrived in Asia.

Using six cutting-edge microphones as well as a barometric pressure sensor, the new Liberty 4 Proto earbuds capture and isolate ambient noise while Soundcore’s most adaptive ANC system – ANC 3.0 – adjusts to the user’s ever-changing environment three times per second, ensuring powerful and seamless noise reduction that will keep the masses at bay.
Even better, the earbuds, which are available in four colours – Black, White, Green and Light Blue – feature a 10.5mm woofer with a 4.6mm titanium tweeter in a coaxial design, meaning crystal clear sound with little distortion. In fact, Android users can even enable LDAC for the highest-quality audio transmission with high-resolution playback.
The earbuds come in an innovative charging case that not only incorporates a built-in screen that highlights the user’s current setting and which can be viewed through the closed top cover (in the Glossy Light Blue and Glossy Black versions) but also a touch bar located on the front of the case that allows users to easily adjust the strength of noise cancellation or audio transparency by simply swiping left or right. Further tweaks, including access to pre-sets, can be made via the Soundcore app.
The Liberty 4 Pro earbuds also charge twice as fast as previous models, with just five minutes of charge time delivering four hours of playtime. Total battery time is 7.5 hours and an additional 30 hours in the case (with ANC enabled).

For something a little more substantial, the new Space One Pro features an ingenious foldable design and next-generation noise cancelling, making it ideal for long-haul travel. The headphones’ FlexiCurve structure allows them to fold to half their size for easy storage while six microphones detect and eradicate ambient noise while the Adaptive ANC 3.0 technology listens in and adjusts settings three times a second.
The headphones, available in white and black, offer 60 hours of playtime with the ANC off and 40 hours with noise-cancelling on, while USB-C fast charging means you won’t have to listen to the world around you until you’re ready to.
