What reviewers said
Apple Powerbeats Fit
The Powerbeats Fit are workout-focused true wireless earbuds that deliver a secure, stable fit and solid active noise cancellation, though they lack a dedicated heart-rate sensor found on some other Beats models. Battery life is respectable for the category, and they offer dependable Apple connectivity, but the hardware feels a step behind newer options on the market. Overall, they're a competent fitness companion rather than a groundbreaking upgrade.
- Pro:Secure, comfortable fit for exercise
- Pro:Effective ANC and transparency modes
- Pro:Long battery life with charging case
- Con:No heart-rate tracking
- Con:Older chip technology compared to rivals
- Con:Sound quality is decent but not exceptional
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
