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.

Overall, they're a well-rounded value pick rather than a flagship-level performer.

- Con:Charging case feels gimmicky and smudges easily
- Con:Spatial audio performance is weak
