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
Xiaomi Buds 6
The Xiaomi Buds 6 are true wireless earbuds that combine active noise cancellation with solid wireless performance. They offer around 6 hours of playback per charge, which can be extended to roughly 35 hours with the included case, and support high-quality LDAC streaming over Bluetooth 5.4. With multipoint connectivity and an IP54 rating, they're designed for versatile daily use, though their ANC runtime is relatively modest. They feature dynamic 11mm drivers and a compact, lightweight build.
- Pro:Supports LDAC for high-resolution audio
- Pro:Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint for seamless device switching
- Pro:Compact and light at just 8.8g per bud
- Con:ANC battery life is short at only 3.5 hours
- Con:Charging case adds weight but total battery is average
- Con:Frequency response extends to 40kHz, which may be inaudible to many listeners
