What reviewers said
Beats Studio Buds +
These wireless earbuds pack active noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and spatial audio support for Dolby Atmos into a compact design. With up to 36 hours of total playback when using the charging case, they're built for all-day use, plus they shrug off sweat and splashes thanks to an IPX4 rating. They work smoothly with both Apple and Android phones, and the quick-charge feature gives you an extra hour of listening from just five minutes of charging.
- Pro:Strong noise cancellation and transparency modes
- Pro:Long battery life with the charging case
- Pro:Quick charge adds an hour in five minutes
- Con:Only supports SBC and AAC codecs, no aptX or LDAC
- Con:Physical buttons may be less intuitive than touch controls
- Con:Case is somewhat bulky at 49 grams
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
