These won’t impress audiophile snobs but for the 99% of everyone else who enjoys high quality sound these Lib 2 Pros are just right. Get the seal in your ear canal and fit correct, plus use the companion app and wow, the sound will make you happy. I’ve had a black pair for two years, no issues. My wife loved them so much we got her a white pair of the Lib 2 Pro. I also have a fog grey pair of Lib 3 Pros and the 2 pros are almost as good. It’s very close. Truth is I use both and switch between the two pairs because they both rock my butt. The Lib 2 Pro do have a white noice hiss that can be heard between tracks or when paused that they fixed on the Lib 3 Pro. I’ve never noticed it once the music starts to play. Unless you are trying to listen for it, it’s not going to distract at all. Get new ones if you want or look on Soundcore’s Amazon seller store and get a renewed pair for cheap. Mine are renewed and just fine. On 1-3-23 I purchased renewed ones for a friend’s birthday for $30 out the door. These ear buds will whip your butt all over the place sonically in a great way for $30. Have fun and enjoy.
