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
TinHifi TinBuds 3
The TinHifi TinBuds 3 are wireless earbuds that prioritize a clear, mid-focused sound signature over extra features, offering a lightweight and comfortable fit with support for multiple Bluetooth codecs. They come in a bulky case that extends total playtime to around 30 hours, but their lack of ANC, app support, and other modern conveniences means they're aimed at listeners who value pure audio performance over functionality. Overall, they deliver decent sound for the price, but their performance is mixed due to issues like a potentially harsh treble, weak battery life in the buds themselves, and some connectivity quirks.
- Pro:Comfortable and lightweight shells
- Pro:Clear, mid-focused sound with good detail
- Pro:Supports aptX Adaptive and low-latency codecs
- Con:No ANC or app support
- Con:Treble can sound hot or harsh
- Con:Microphone quality is poor
