What reviewers said
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
SoundPEATS Air5 Pro
The SoundPEATS Air5 Pro delivers a feature-packed experience at a budget-friendly price, boasting high-quality codecs like LDAC and aptX, active noise cancellation, and multipoint connectivity. Its lightweight, comfortable design and strong battery life make it a compelling everyday option, though real-world ANC battery performance may fall short of marketing claims and sound tuning is solid rather than exceptional.
- Pro:Excellent value with premium features for the price
- Pro:Supports LDAC and aptX codecs for high-resolution audio
- Pro:Comfortable, lightweight earbuds with IPX5 water resistance
- Con:Actual battery life with ANC enabled is notably lower than advertised
- Con:Sound quality is good but not class-leading in tuning
- Con:Case is relatively heavy for its size
