Wearing and Fitting the Earbuds
Achieving a secure and comfortable fit is crucial for optimal noise cancellation and audio quality with your Soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds.

To wear the earbuds, gently insert them into your ear canals and rotate slightly to lock them in place. Ensure they feel snug but not overly tight. The wearing detection feature automatically pauses or plays audio when the earbuds are removed or inserted. If you experience discomfort or a loose fit, try a different ear tip size. A secure fit is essential for enjoying the full benefits of the Liberty 4 NC’s advanced features.
Properly fitted earbuds will also contribute to longer battery life, as a good seal minimizes sound leakage and reduces the need for increased volume.
Charging the Earbuds and Charging Case
To charge the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds, place them inside the charging case. They will begin charging automatically, indicated by the LED light on the case. A full charge typically takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The case provides multiple additional charges, extending the total playtime to up to 50 hours.
Charging the case itself is done via a USB-C cable (included). Connect the cable to the USB-C port on the case and a power source. The LED indicator will show the charging status.
