What reviewers said
Skullcandy Sesh® ANC Active
These budget-friendly true wireless earbuds deliver a punchy, bass-forward sound and a comfortable, secure fit that holds up well during workouts. They offer adaptive noise cancellation that handles everyday commutes, along with a solid total battery life of 28 hours with the case, though the touch controls and charging case feel a bit basic. While not the best in class for audio fidelity or ANC strength, they provide good value for those who prioritize durability and energetic sound over premium features.
- Pro:Energetic, bass-heavy sound profile
- Pro:Secure and comfortable fit for exercise
- Pro:Decent adaptive ANC for daily use
- Con:Touch controls can be unreliable
- Con:ANC performance is mediocre
- Con:Charging case feels cheap
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
