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
Urbanista Palo Alto
The Urbanista Palo Alto earbuds offer a stylish, lightweight design with a bass-heavy sound profile and adaptive noise cancellation that performs reasonably well for the price. While they include useful features like multipoint Bluetooth, wireless charging, and an IP54 rating, the experience is somewhat marred by inconsistent charging behavior, overly chatty voice prompts, and a less polished companion app.
- Pro:Sleek and comfortable fit
- Pro:Punchy, bass-forward audio
- Pro:Adaptive ANC with transparency mode
- Con:Wireless charging can be finicky
- Con:Voice prompts are loud and intrusive
- Con:App feels underdeveloped
