What reviewers said
Aipower Wearbuds
The Aipower Wearbuds combine true wireless earbuds with a wrist-worn charging case, offering solid audio quality and a clever concept for on-the-go storage. However, the smartband case feels clunky and underdeveloped, making the overall experience a compromise rather than a polished solution. It's a promising first attempt that appeals more for its novelty than as a top-tier wearable or audio device.
- Pro:Good sound quality with aptX support
- Pro:Comfortable fit for a true wireless set
- Pro:Innovative wristband charging case concept
- Con:Awkward and poorly executed smartband case
- Con:Limited battery life of only 12 hours with case
- Con:No ANC or transparency mode
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
