What reviewers said

Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0

The Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0 are a budget-friendly pair of true wireless earbuds that deliver impressive audio quality and exceptional battery life, easily competing with pricier models. They offer a comfortable, waterproof design and useful app support, though they lack active noise cancellation and have a few notable drawbacks like a subpar ambient mode and finicky connectivity software.

  • Pro:Outstanding battery life with the case
  • Pro:Rich, detailed sound for the price
  • Pro:Fully waterproof IPX7 rating
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Ambient mode is underwhelming
  • Con:Call quality is mediocre

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
