Controls are pretty limited, with a control button on each side that you can program for a long press or double tap to different functions in the app. There's a 'Hear ID' in app hearing test / EQ generator that does a pretty good job compensating for older ears high freq roll off in the higher end.. and you can also tweak the bass, which is a little boomy sometimes. There are several 'producer' eq presets built in so you can get a flavor of various signatures. I listen to a lot of jazz and podcasts and so the midrange performance is important to me, and these do well in that dept. They are clear and unmuffled in the higher registers (very important to me), and the bass can be tamed down if it's too much. Bassheads should like these.
Call performance is meh... the mics are passible if you're in a quiet environment.. but no where close to airpods.
Battery life is great and the case tops them up in between gym visits. I've never run the case out of battery yet, but manufacture claims of 8 hrs / 4 recharges in case seems reasonable.
Early complaints about hissing are not a problem in my experience. They can be used individually, but it's not as EASY to do (but if you take just one out of the case it pairs fine).
As for calls, I found the mics to be great. I've taken them on windy hikes, and in the car with the AC on full or the windows down and I can still be hears pretty well. I use them for all of my business meetings and calls.
The controls are good, I love that they have buttons instead of touch controls so brushing them or reseating them doesn't cause a button press. I assign the buttons to volume up down on double tap, start stop on single press, and skip / google assistant on long press. I find that to be just great with one button on each earbud.
These sound about as good as my Sony MDR-1A (when you have a good seal in your ear). They are comfortable for me for 4-5 hours straight. I never had the batteries go out on me during use.
My comparisons are Bose Soundports, the Sony MDR-1A cans, Beats powerbeats 2 (garbage), Anker neo, liberty air and liberty air 2.
Great customer service when I had a problem with the charging case acting a little odd. They sent me a whole refurbished set (whole system in original box) and didn't request a return of the charge case.
TLDR super happy with the Liberty 2 Pros

Just had to pull them both out, on second thought the samsungs blow these out the water.....
Update 2, i changed the ear tips back to the ones that came with the ankers and now they sound like i remember. they are just as good as the samsung for music. For calls the samsung is better.
