I assume you meant the SoundCore by Anker. Second them. Been a huge fan of their headphones/earbuds for a while. I have the Liberty 4 and the Liberty Pro 4s. Absolutely love them! The sound is amazing in them and for the price, can't be beat. I have the Space A40s - 2 for me, 1 pair for my wife. She loves them too. The Libertys and the Liberty Pros.

Sound core liberty pro 4 are great pods from the price. I think they may have been replaced now. But I had the 2, 3 and 4s all great. Better than the Sony ones I had at twice the price.

If my wife brought me CMF Buds Pros, I would have divorced her by New Year. For ANC on a budget EarFun Air Pro 4 (or + version), Soundcore Liberty Pro 4s are great at cutting out voices, I keep a pair in my laptop bag. All 3 of those are in my top 10.
AirPods Pro 2/3 would be best overall, but Soundcore Liberty Pro 4 work best for me on voices. The caveat being, everyone's ears are different and what works well for me, may not work so well for you.
AirPods Pro or Soundcore Liberty Pro 4 are both good. Bear in mind that comfort is subjective and differs between ears.
Liberty 4 pro out of that selection. The dual drivers help them stand out.
From their site: The Liberty 4 Pro features a combination of 10.5mm and 4.6mm drivers, delivering crisp highs, rich bass, and a well-balanced sound profile. This dual-driver setup ensures an elevated listening experience for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
Have the same couple of pairs. Huawei's mic and NC are superior to the Liberty.
Three. One set of Soundcore liberty 4 with the ANC for when I need the quiet. AirPod 4’s and a wired set.
I own the Sony's, Denon's and Liberty 4 ANC. For sound quality? Denon. Cancellation? Liberty. The Sony's are about the same as the Liberty's for ANC, but have a higher-end sound (but it is EVER so slightly superior).
There's a few, based on budget: Sony XMF4000 beat the pants off of anything out there, especially for balancing sound quality. Most, if not all head to head reviews agree. Liberty 4 ANC Pros are the best balancing budget, ANC and sound quality - AMAZINGLY close to Sony. Denon Perl Pro beat them all in sound quality. ANC? Not so much.
Its between hauwei and soundcore for me. I have the liberty 4 (non pro) and they are great for multipoint connection, and clear mic. The library 4 pro improve on the mic a little, but hauwei has a slightly better mic. Sound wise, the soundcores are good for the price range, not much in the way of eq for the normal 4, so not sure how the 4 pros would work.

Lots of reviews online. AirPod pro 3 are the standard best. But see if your like me and have lost an AirPod or 5. Most recently lost my AirPod Pros at a festival…. I went and got some soundcore liberty 4 pros on Black Friday for $89 and the sound is very on par with my pros. But a fraction of the cost. Still love AirPods just replacing them is $$
