Re: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods a run for their money

[SSEric]

I am sorry I do not have a direct link, but Gear Patrol.com has a review of 
these buds today, Monday, December 11, along with an upcoming pair of liberty 
plus buds. Those will be $150, but Anker discounts everything. The biggest 
difference I think would be helpful is they will have Bluetooth 5.0. As I 
mentioned, these do have some lag, greater than I am used to in other Bluetooth 
devices. The longer I have played with them, the more annoying that lag has 
become. Of course, it is only a real problem when writing. By the way, you can 
regularly find the Zolo Liberty for $80 now.

RE: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods a run for their money

[Sieghard Weitzel]

No, these are too small to have a 3.5mm jack.
Just as with Apple Airpods these are strictly bluetooth.

RE: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods a run for their money

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Yes, also Apple’s Airpods say “up to 5 hours of listening on one charge”. These 
are just the earbuds, basically the size of the Earpods at the end of the 
cable. Obviously with a tiny thing like that you can’t put in a battery big 
enough to give you 10 hours which is why you get a battery case so when you 
don’t use them you put them in there and they stay charged.

RE: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods a run for their money

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping that with Bluetooth 5.0 the lag should be 
less rather than more and sound quality should be better because they can 
handle so much more bandwidth etc.

Subject: Re: Zolo liberty+ Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds, maybe they give Apple Airpods 
a run for their money

I did order those last Monday and received them Wednesday. They are pretty much 
as described. They do have the silicone tip that goes into the ear canal. Each 
earbud itself is probably about the size of a gumball with the tip sticking out 
of it. The earbud is covered with a very thin silicone sleeve that I believe 
keeps it more secure than AirPods with their slick surface. They have three 
other sets of covers with a wing device that is supposed to keep the earbud 
even more secure. However, getting that sleeve on and off the buds was near 
impossible, and frankly I didn’t think I needed the extra security enough to 
bother any longer. Unlike with the AirPod covers you can purchase that have to 
be removed to charge, these would fit in the charging case. The outside of each 
bud is a button. Tapping it will start/stop music and answer or end calls. 
Double tapping will activate Siri. Pressing on the right will skip forward a 
track and holding and pressing on the left earbud will skip back. It does seem 
you can only hear phone calls in the right earbud. The sound is quite 
comparable to apples earPods/AirPods. There may be a bit more bass to the 
anker. Reportedly, they have 3 1/2 hours of battery life and an additional 30 
hours recharging in the case? The case itself is like a miniature eyeglasses 
case. It is about 2 inches front to back, 4 inches side to side and an inch and 
a half top to bottom. Just guessing… The case will go into a front pocket, but 
it is going to bulge. Also, they could have made it easier to flip the lid up. 
There is just a narrow gauge for a thumbnail to raise the lid. The buds fit 
securely and magnetically into pockets inside the case. They could have 
designed it a little easier to take the buds out. I found the same with 
AirPods. The case does recharge with a mini USB cable. I found pairing to 
Bluetooth to be very easy. When taking the bugs out of the case, they turn on 
and connect to one another rather quickly. I use quite a number of Bluetooth 
headphones and speakers, and I have never complain much about lag. I do feel 
there is a little more lag in these than normal. I can’t imagine it would be 
enough to disturb watching and listening to a movie, though. Bluetooth range is 
as good as my better Bluetooth devices. I have not experienced any loss of 
signal or breaking up. If you do receive these, note they are different than 
most of your buds in that they do not hang down over your earlobe. The stem 
goes into your ear canal at the bottom of the bud, which then fills the 
entireity of your outerr ear. It does protrude a bit, but it really isn’t that 
bad. Also, they don’t block out sound anymore then does any other buds with the 
stem going into your ear canal. They are very comfortable and fit very secure. 
I would rate these higher than AirPods, even before considering the $50 price 
difference. Perhaps the larger case is a negative for some. Also, anker does a 
much better job standing behind their products for longer than Apple. I am not 
sure that I recommend these truly wireless earbuds, however. After having two 
pair now, I think I am just as happy with ones connected by cable. I don’t fear 
one dropping out and being lost. I certainly felt that way about the AirPods. 
These I have only had a few days and used very little so far, so not enough 
time to really say for sure.

Feel free to ask about anything I missed or to clarify.

Hi,

Just came across these Zolo Liberty+ earbuds, they are I believe made by Anker 
or at least the guy who started Anker is involved somehow.
I didn’t see them yet on Amazon.ca<http://Amazon.ca>, but you can preorder them 
on Amazon.com<http://Amazon.com> for $99 and it says they will be available on 
November 29 which is just 2 days away.
They were offered via Kickstarter campagne as well this summer.
If anybody buys them I hope they’ll post a review, here is the link on Amazon:
