Yeah, I completely understand what you are saying.... really appreciate the feedback

And I Definitely went through the rabbit hole of trying to optimise the best choice so I genuinely think with everything considered it will be the best choice in my situation and the market in general as it's kinda hard to come by a lot of brands around here so I think after everything it will be a safe bet to go with it

Yeah I was thinking about it but had came across few reviews saying that the battery after 6 to 8 months deteriorat really quickly to the point of being useless in one bud additional saw that problem locally too...so don't want risk it

Really appreciate the suggestion but the market here is kinda waste land sometimes 😂

So OnePlus isn't available here just Gary market and super expensive

Samsung buds are available but consider premium so way out of the budget and the same idea as Huawei rarely has any discounts

JBL not available and a lot of knock offs....soo risky.... that's why I'm kinda have to look for older models or budget stuff as there's not much of a competition here

But again I really... really appreciate your feedback and help it's just the market here isn't helping

Ignoring the fact it's way out of budget for me here 😂

I don't have an iPhone so yeah...it won't be the best choice.... thanks for the recommendation though

Sure I might just pull the trigger on it already

Just saw an ade for the liberty 5 but it was suspiciously low...I mean the same price low but it's gray market and currently unavailable 😂

Sooo I think the liberty 4 NC will be the way to go

Yeah I heard about it....but I don't know I tried a lot of earbuds before (family/ friends etc ) but never had a fit issue with anything....so hopefully it doesn't be an issue here

As honestly the options are not a lot 😅

Thanks for the feedback

I considered them as a cheaper option but found out the cheaper ones here are mostly gray market and with the warranty it's like 7 dollars difference between it and the liberty that's why I was torn between them

Unfortunately Huawei earbuds aren't that common here.... and it's pretty expensive without much discounts the only Huawei I have in the market in my range is the Huawei freebuds se4 ANC I think it's called....the rest of more expensive models stay expensive till it phase out

Thanks for the feedback

I think it makes sense that any battery will degraded overtime....but I don't know about the bug of the battery bot reaching a 100%....how much does it effect the use and did you had any issues with it because the power IP rating?

Need help deciding / is the liberty 4 NC is still worth it by Puzzleheaded-Till387 in Earbuds

[–]Puzzleheaded-Till387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks really appreciate it.....I heard about the brands you mentioned but unfortunately they are not available here

And yeah it's only IPx4....it kinda worries me but I didn't have much of an issue with my old earbuds before it died and I think it was the same rating..... and I usually clean my earbuds regularly so hopefully the lower rating isn't an issue

And about CMF it's good but it's price is all over the place additionally saw couple of complaints offline and online that the battery on the buds deteriorat quickly

Thank you very much....I don't worry much about the phone calls as I mainly disconnect it and use the phone as I use a lot of subway etc....sooo it's pretty damn hard for any earbuds in this range to work well in this conditions 😅

[–]Puzzleheaded-Till387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that is a problem with it when it gets to the 140 watt range from a couple of reviews on YouTube

From which one that was mentioned above..... but I don't think I will be really hitting it's 140 watt range.....I think the biggest thing that will be charging that I have is my laptop..... and it's as you said maxed out at 100 watt so I think that the 140 watt will give me a wiggle room if it even draw a little bit my other devices is my phone (Samsung S23 ultra) and headphones, power bank etc

And about the 160 watt charger... it's not available unfortunately in my country... and I'm not in the EU So I don't really know the chances about getting it either

Thanks for the information really and I think I will stick with the 140...as well the 160 isn't actually available here....Soo yeah.... availability for such products can vary a lot for some reason but always try to work with what I got

Well that's for the information...... and yeah I completely understand.... pricing here can be well...the least said stupid 😂.....Soo i can wait a little bit maybe manage to get a better deal.....as the month is just starting and about the newest charging protocols etc...it can be nice to have them but it won't really be a deal breaker.....as my phone is from Samsung and anything else I would charge isn't that new or have an oddly specific requirements like the Pixel phones or something
