Is the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro worth the upgrade from the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro actually scores 12.0 points below the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on noise cancelling (8.0 to 6.0) and sound (8.5 to 7.0). Worth checking: active noise cancelling goes Yes to No and weight goes 5.5 g to 70 g. The two sit at effectively the same price. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.

Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
