Soundcore Liberty 4 NC

Why: because Soundcore still sells the previous model for $40 more. Even though Soundcore suggests the 4 NC's ANC is much better than the original Liberty 4 released earlier, both earphones’ ANC modes perform comparable in many occasions, like an office with some people talking and some background music. The newer 4 NC does give you more logical ANC options from the app and the Transparency mode is more natural. The 4 NC is more comfortable due to slightly different ear tips, its battery life is an hour longer, quick charging is faster, and its touch controls are much better than the slow stem pinches of the original Liberty 4. The original 4 has a faster-paced but also heavier-hitting mid-bass. It also boosts treble in typical older Soundcore models-fashion, giving it a bit of an metallic edge. The 4 NC sounds a bit warmer and more in balance. As you probably don't need the heart-rate sensor from the original Liberty 4, save yourself the money. Buy the 4 NC.
