What reviewers said
Skullcandy Method® 360 ANC
The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds offer a budget-friendly approach to active noise cancellation, borrowing tuning influences from Bose to deliver a sound profile that emphasizes sub-bass and a spacious presentation. While they come with helpful features like hybrid ANC, transparency mode, and multipoint Bluetooth, the absence of premium codecs and a somewhat bulky case hold them back from being a complete package. Overall, they're a solid value for those who prioritize effective noise blocking and bass-forward audio without spending top dollar.
- Pro:Strong sub-bass and spacious sound signature
- Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for the price
- Pro:Includes transparency mode and multipoint Bluetooth
- Con:Only supports basic SBC and AAC codecs
- Con:Charging case feels bulky and less premium
- Con:Sound lacks liveliness or dynamic punch for some
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
