What reviewers said
Sabbat E16
The Sabbat E16 offers a remarkably clear, natural, and balanced sound signature that punches well above its price point, making it a strong contender in the budget true wireless space. It comes equipped with hybrid ANC, wireless charging, and Bluetooth 5.2, though its fit can be finicky and a slight background hiss is noticeable when audio is paused. Overall, it's a compelling option for those prioritizing sound quality over ergonomic perfection.
- Pro:Excellent clarity and balance
- Pro:Good value for the price
- Pro:Hybrid ANC and transparency mode
- Con:Tricky fit for some ears
- Con:Audible white noise when paused
- Con:Limited battery life per charge
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
