What reviewers said

JBL Tune Beam 2

The JBL Tune Beam 2 are budget-friendly true wireless earbuds that deliver strong battery life, solid active noise cancellation, and a customizable bass-forward sound. They pack useful features like multipoint connectivity, an app with EQ settings, and IP54 water resistance, making them a versatile daily option. However, they lack wireless charging and their fit and call quality in noisy environments may not suit everyone.

  • Pro:Excellent battery life, even with ANC on
  • Pro:Effective adaptive noise cancellation for the price
  • Pro:Customizable sound via app EQ and bass controls
  • Con:No wireless charging support
  • Con:Fit can feel unusual or less secure for some ears
  • Con:Call clarity suffers in noisy surroundings

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
