What reviewers said
1MORE ColorBuds 2
These compact wireless earbuds offer a comfortable, secure fit and a natural, balanced sound signature enhanced by custom EQ options. While they bring useful features like hybrid noise cancellation, wireless charging, and solid codec support to the table, their noise reduction and call performance fall short of expectations, and battery life is only average with ANC engaged. Overall, they provide decent value for under $100 if your priorities are comfort and sound quality rather than top-tier ANC or clear calls.
- Pro:Compact and comfortable fit
- Pro:Natural, balanced sound with EQ customization
- Pro:IPX5 water resistance and wireless charging
- Con:Noise cancellation is underwhelming
- Con:Call quality is poor
- Con:Battery life is modest, especially with ANC on
Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro
The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro pack a hefty feature set into a budget-friendly wireless earbud package, including adaptive noise cancellation, LDAC support, multipoint connectivity, and wireless charging. They deliver solid sound with crisp treble and effective call quality, though the charging case can feel gimmicky and prone to fingerprints, and spatial audio falls short. Overall, they're a well-rounded value pick rather than a flagship-level performer.
- Pro:Strong active noise cancellation
- Pro:Wide codec support including LDAC
- Pro:Multipoint and wireless charging included
- Con:Charging case feels gimmicky and smudges easily
- Con:Spatial audio performance is weak
- Con:Battery life is average for the price
