As a owner of both of these earbuds, I have to agree with this review entirely. Spot on in my opinion. I enjoy using both, but definitely not the Sennheisers for ANC, as it doesn't seem to be doing much to block out noises. They're good for listening to music however, which is the whole purpose of having wireless earbuds in my opinion.

[TheBigKing]

Sounds like a weird thing to say but it’s true. The Soundcores are tricky to put back in, always feels like you have to turn it all the way around. Some real hand gymnastics

[TechOutAdam]

For me it top three true wireless earbuds go:
1. Jabra Elite 7 Pro
2. Liberty 3 Pro
3. CX Plus

I’ve had the SCLP3 for a couple months now. At first it was a little annoying to get them in and out of the case. Now my hands are use to it so I don’t fumble at all. Also love the sound

[ericb]

Thanks for doing this. Many of us broke audiophiles wanted to see this comparison. You guys always do a great job with your sound comparisons.

I recently purchased the CX Plus buds. When i first tried them I did not get great sound and the ANC was non-existent, even though I felt I had a seal with the tips. But once I tried fiddling around with the fit, I discovered a night-and-day difference in performance. When I found the best position for them, I would say that the ANC and Transparency works better than the two TWS buds I have experience with, the Jaybird Vista 2 (my go-to workout buds) and the Jabra Elite Active 75T.

I basically wear them so the rectangular shape is straight up and down, and give a little push at the top, which kind of positions them a little less “shoved in” the ear canal. The included instructions recommend rotating about 20 deg, but that is what resulted in my initial poor impression. I feel like I am getting great sound, at the expense of the fit feeling not as locked in (though it passes the heads-shake test just fine.)

I anyway I believe they are a great value on any of these current holiday sales! Would love to see the case design get less chunky and add wireless charging, but you have to give up something to get them so much cheaper than the Momentums!

Thanks for the great reviews!

Thanks so much for this review. I've been trying to decide between these two and this covered everything I needed to know!

You guys have the most informative reviews while also entertaining

Great work guys! Keep it up!

I have the Senheisser CX 400BT for $80 on sale. I love the fit and were the most comfortable fit for me. The sound is excellent and one of the best. However The silicone ear tips did get sweaty and Itchy.

I picked up the Sony WF1000XM4s refurbished for $150. The Sony memory foam tips were uncomfortable so I switched to AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC tips. This solved the pressure of the memory foam tips and the sweaty itchy Silicone tips.

The noise canceling is amazing and is my daily drivers. The customization of touch functions is disappointing. Seinheisser does it best in software and options. I wish I could have volume and noise canceling options simultaneously.

I was looking at the Sound core LP3 for its dual pairing function. I have to carry my work phone and personal phone daily. I am on the fence with the Soundcore LP3

[BamTehBrent]

Your reviews are so thorough! And your videos are entertaining. Happy I stumbled across you guys.

[thewillsfamilyaccount]

I love Dubstep!! I pray they bring it back.. another great video.. thanks..

[RaphaelStarr]

Great comparison. My biggest takeaway is Stacy Kent. I hadn't heard her before and now I'm listening to the entire album on my Q35s.

[MrVeeBlog]

The best in the biz. Thank you for what you do guys. I don't know how you are able to put these reviews together, but I hang on every word because to me, they are about as objective as you can get. Not everyone can describe "sound" and somehow, you guys make it work.

[alkmyst]

I used to be a sennheiser and apple consumer. Once I tried the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pros, I haven't gone back. Just ordered 3's a week or so ago and love them.

[MOTILAC]

You guys are on fire. Really like your format, your teamwork, and your content. Great review once again.

[hileutewie]

I bought the CX Plus for 70, -€ in Germany and honestly they are pretty alright in my book. You really have to get the seal for them to unleash their full potential, thus put them into your ear and twist them as they suggest.

The ANC is indeed terrible, but with a tight seal I didn't hear all that much background noise in the first place. Sound quality is good enough, but I would absolutely not buy them for the full price.

I'd like to add that the box of the Sennheisers is poorly designed. In the winter it really doesn't matter, but in the summer days it really looks bulky when you can't put em in a bag or in your jacket. The hinge is very solid, no movement at all and the magnets are strong, though.

Great video by the way, I really like the synergy between you two. One guy for the technical aspects, the other for the practical, well done guys!

"Also can balance on an Apple" lol Love it! I own the L3P's and love them, very comfortable, and always the on the go bud. I also own the CX, but not the plus, they came out a weel after, and I never felt the need for ANC. Cheers! Banana Test Test ...

on the soundcore liberty 3 change EQ to custom, and then set these values in order from left to right, -3, 0, +2, +3, -1, +3, -4, -4 this should then trim out (calibrate) the sound of these ear buds to be more balanced, and then use a 3rd party eq like poweramp etc, to then setup your desired profile to your liking and type of music you listen to.

After beinbg a vocal fan of Sennheiser, it is time for me to explore alternatives. My TW Momentums had a massive issue with battery discharge. The Momentum 2s had resolved this but failed 2 weeks after the warranty period. Yeah, in the plentiful field of earbuds, I am confident I can find some that sound as good and last longer.

Great video! Your channel has been really helpful in choosing earbuds :D
