What reviewers said
Honor Magic Earbuds/ Huawei Freebuds 3i with ANC
These budget true wireless earbuds offer a premium build and hybrid active noise cancellation, but their performance doesn't quite match the price. Sound quality is average, noise cancellation is modest, and battery life falls short of expectations, making them a mixed value proposition.
- Pro:Premium, refined look and feel
- Pro:Hybrid ANC included at a budget price
- Pro:Lightweight with touch controls and wear detection
- Con:Mediocre sound quality for the cost
- Con:Noise cancelling is not very effective
- Con:Battery life is below average, 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
