Yeah, you've got that right; I peg it with a v-shaped sound signature as well. Very heavy on the bass quantity end and a little lacking in the mids, but like you said, the quality of the sound overall is pretty decent. I dunno why I've got this weird issue with mine disconnecting after an extended period (not from a dead battery), but I'm not entirely sure it's due to the Liberty+ (though I suspect that more than my device). My iPod can only go up to iOS 9, but I have no such disconnect issues on my Bragi The Headphone.
The ergonomics are also not fitting to my taste. It's the the silicone gripfit jackets, but just the overall size of the thing. I switched to Spinfits which gives the Liberty+ cleaner lows and highs (just generally more well-defined frequency response) IMO, but it's just how much these things stick out of my ears compared to the Bragi. Basically, the entirety of the non-gripfit jacket section is how much more the Liberty+ sticks out of my ears compared to the Bragi, which is sleek and barely sticks out of my concha at all. Liberty+ doesn't provide for extended comfortable wear with a beanie on while The Headphone does great in that respect. Liberty+ undoubtedly sounds better than The Headphone; no competition there.....well, unless we're also counting transparency mode. Because by god does the transparency mode on the Liberty+ sound bad. High gain and sensitive mic, which wouldn't be so much of a problem if it didn't sound so horrible. Snapping your fingers shouldn't sound like a wet pop; and yet, that's exactly what the Liberty+ transparency mode sounds like.
In maybe 4 more months or so, I'll have another set of totally wireless IEMs to check out: the EOZ Air. Good time for a quick totally wireless IEM shootout when that day comes. And actually, if both KS campaigns I'm on deliver roughly on the proposed timeline, I'll have an exciting totally wireless full-size headphone too: the ORA GrapheneQ headphone. Theoretically, my wireless audio comparison would consist of the following in a few months:
- ORA GrapheneQ: hopefully the best sounding, being a comparatively pricey full-size headphone and all that
- Liberty+: best in wireless sound quality I've got on hand at present. Hasn't earned many points on ergonomics and transparency
. But the batter case looks and feels really nice
- EOZ Air: perhaps will challenge or surpass the Liberty+ on all fronts? While looking sexier?
- Bragi The Headphone: stupid name, minimalist functionality, but damn does it perform like a champ. Super comfortable, 5ish hour battery life, volume control, transparency mode, and acceptable sound quality for day-to-day commuting
- Trinity Audio Phantom Air: worthy of its name, still nowhere to be seen
