What reviewers said
EarFun Free Pro 3
The EarFun Free Pro 3 offers a well-rounded true wireless experience at a budget-friendly price, packing hybrid ANC, aptX Adaptive support, and a feature set that’s unusually complete for the money. Its sound is strong and dynamic, though real-world battery life tends to fall short of the advertised figures, and call quality is merely average. Comfort is decent but not class-leading, especially when compared to some of the brand's other models.
- Pro:Rich, engaging sound with aptX Adaptive support
- Pro:Loaded with features: hybrid ANC, transparency, wireless charging, and multipoint
- Pro:Compact, lightweight design with IPX5 water resistance
- Con:Battery life is less than advertised in real-world use
- Con:Call quality is only average
- Con:Comfort may not suit all ears as well as the Air Pro 3
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
