The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

When I ordered the Liberty 3 Pro, the expectations were the most optimistic, based on the declared characteristics and functionality. In fact, it turned out to be an extremely controversial product with a bunch of compromises and flaws. Yes, many of the shortcomings can be fixed one way or another, but in general, these TWS are more disappointing. A very, very unfortunate thing, because technically, on paper, these are great TWS.

Pros

- A promising set of drivers are hybrids (Knowles armature and 10.6mm dyno). - Sound after equalization. - Secure landing. - A set (4 pcs) of ear pads and "wings" in the delivery - you can probably choose a convenient fit for the headphones, probably for any ears. - Support for Bluetooth 5.2 and LDAC. - ANC and transparency mode. - Multipoint. - Pretty high-quality and cute application for setting headphones, including for a specific person. - Ability to fully customize the control gestures for yourself. - The ability to equalize the sound in the native application and save the tuning profile in the headphones themselves for use with any player. There are several recommendations on the Internet for equalization profiles that allow you to somehow correct the imbalance of the sound.

Cons

- Terrible sound quality in stock. The profiles available in the application do not change the situation. Completely failed midrange. It's not even a V-shaped sound, it's a complete nightmare in the form of a dominance of oppressive lows and ultra-detailed highs. V-shaped sound, of course, is typical to one degree or another for almost all TWS, but not to the same extent. - Not the most reliable and practical case. The girl may be pleased to open and close the slider case, but there are doubts about its reliability. Plus, you also need to keep an eye on the placement of the headphones themselves in the case - it is possible to put them in such a way that one of the headphones will not charge. - When using the LDAC codec, the multipoint functionality is lost. - HearID is essentially a useless toy that increases the already nightmarish V-shaped sound. - Low autonomy when using LDAC. In the latest firmware at the moment, the situation with this has been somewhat corrected. - Intermittent interruptions when using LDAC. Not too often, but still. - Relatively "brake" touch control. - Not too good as a headset for conversations. - Controversial implementation of ANC - in any setting, the noise reduction dampens not all external sounds. But in principle it can be used. Good at blocking wind gusts.
