Our Verdict
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are decent headphones for neutral sound. Their out-of-the-box sound profile isn't flat, but has an excited, V-shaped profile that should be pleasing to most people but isn't the most accurate. Luckily, their companion app gives you access to an 8-band graphic EQ so you can customize the sound to better suit your personal preferences.
- Great battery for truly wireless headphones.
- Good companion app with graphic EQ and lots of presets.
- Very stable fit.
- Sub-par recording quality.
- Noise isolation performance is only acceptable.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are a decent choice for commuting or traveling. Due to their truly wireless design, they're quite small and portable, and are comfortable enough to be able to wear for longer periods without fatigue. Unfortunately, they don't have ANC, and they don't do a great job at blocking out the low engine rumbles of a plane or bus.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are a great pair of sports headphones. They come with six different size tips as well as three sizes of stability fins to help you find a secure and stable fit; once you do they feel very stable in your ears and likely won't fall out while working out. They're also rated IPX4 for water resistance, though we don't currently test for this.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are okay headphones for using in the office. Their 7-hour battery life will almost get you through an entire work-day, and they do a good job at passively blocking out background chatter to help keep you motivated. They aren't the most comfortable, but thanks to their design, they're better than some other in-ear options. They also leak very minimal audio, so you should be able to listen to your music fairly loud without bothering those around you.

- Noise isolation performance is only acceptable.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro aren't recommended for wireless gaming. These headphones are Bluetooth-only and aren't compatible with an Xbox One or PS4. While you can connect them to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, their latency is likely too high to be used for gaming.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are Bluetooth-only headphones that can't be used wired.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro are mediocre for phone calls. Like most Bluetooth headphones, their microphone is disappointing and your voice sounds thin and muffled to the person you're speaking to. If you're taking a call in a moderately noisy environment, your voice can also sound much quieter compared to loud sounds around you.
