What reviewers said

Shanling MTW300

The Shanling MTW300 are true wireless earbuds that prioritize comfort and a lively, energetic sound signature.

Overall, they deliver a decent core experience for those who value fit and durability over extra smart features.

  • Pro:Energetic and outspoken sound profile
  • Pro:Excellent battery life with the charging case
  • Con:No active noise cancellation at this price point

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.

  • 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
