What reviewers said

Huawei FreeBuds 6

The Huawei FreeBuds 6 are half-in-ear wireless earbuds that excel at voice calls and video meetings, offering top-tier call clarity in noisy environments. They feature a dual-driver setup with wide codec support and improved noise cancellation for their open design, though battery life and ANC are merely adequate rather than class-leading. Their value hinges largely on whether call quality is your top priority.

  • Pro:Exceptional call clarity in noisy or windy conditions
  • Pro:Dual-driver hybrid design with broad codec support
  • Pro:Fast charging adds 2.5 hours from a 5-minute charge
  • Con:Battery life is only decent, not outstanding
  • Con:Noise cancellation is average for the price
  • Con:Higher price may not justify the feature set for non-call use

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
