What reviewers said
Moondrop Golden Ages
The Moondrop Golden Ages are affordable wireless earbuds featuring a planar driver, adaptive ANC, and LDAC support, delivering impressively clean treble and strong resolution for the price. However, they fall short in everyday practicality due to weak ANC, inconsistent connectivity, and subpar call quality, making them better suited for focused listening sessions than on-the-go use.
- Pro:Clean, detailed treble with strong resolution
- Pro:Affordable planar driver performance
- Pro:Adaptive ANC and LDAC codec support
- Con:Weak ANC and call quality
- Con:Connectivity and app support are lacking
- Con:Bass lacks fullness and depth for modern genres
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
