"honestly also due to Dolby audio and Dolby Atmos they use, which is very juicy) ... sound wise, liberty 5 does sound good most likely due to the tech used on it for the Dolby's atmos and audio which surprisingly even the nothing lacks."
"could not believe the sound quality compared to the AirPods. ... Insanely better"
"sounds amazing! ... Loud ... great bass"

"been using for more than a year now still working as the day i bought them"
"4 years of life thus far, no battery degrade or sound degrade. Lasts ~6 hours with a charging case which holds its charge for about a month to keep the buds ready. I basically plug the charging case in to charge for like 4 hours once a month."
"can be trusted to not break in a week"

"Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both."

"they started connecting while inside the case."
I recently received the Soundcore Liberty 5. They are around 160 AUD and have transparency mode and active noise cancellation.
I have both the Earfun Pro 4 and Soundcore Liberty 5, both are good. The Soundcore I think is slightly better.
Soundcore. I have Earfun Pro 4 and Liberty 5, but I liked the liberty 5 more. Though the Earfun aren't bad.
Every earbuds from Your list Has good anc. But 7i Huawei better than 6i. I would buy 3fe or Liberty 5 for anc
I wouldn't trust soundguys in this case. Anc Soundcore is better than cmf. Buy oneplus Buds 4, liberty 5 or soundpeats air pro5

I think most of the difference from what I could tell was in the noise cancelling. The liberty 5 don't have noise cancelling.
I have 3 but are all different. Currently use the Soundcore Liberty 5 as my main earbuds or all rounders. Also have the Soundcore Space One Pro for my overhead headphones. Lastly are the Shokz Opendots One for jogging and bike riding.
Have you tried the new Liberty 5 buds yet? I LOVE Soundcore, you truly can't get a better pair of earbuds for the money in my opinion. I really like their app too. They added some new features in there for the Liberty 5. For example there's a new feature that enables Dolby surround sound and it sounds super cool. For talk by itself it can sound kind of like an echo. But for music and especially movies it is amazing. December is when I usually get the latest Soundcore earbuds and for the past 5 years or so they've never let me down. I'm SURE there are other good brands out there. The Nothing Ear Buds look intresting and I've seen ya'll talk about them a bunch. I'm sure even a good but expensive pair of some buds from Sony for example probably sound pretty good. But between 100-150 is sort of my cutoff. I want them to sound amazing, but I dont want to freak out if I lose an earbud because my earbuds 500 bucks! 😂
Nothing ear, earfun air pro 4, liberty 5, skullcandy method 360 anc (if you want ear blasting bass) - all good budget options.
I think the ones I use the most are the Liberty 5, and the ones I use the least seem to be the Redmi Buds 6.
I personally use the AirPods Pro 2 for calls or video calls, but I also recommend the CMF Buds 2 Plus.
For the gym I usually use the Sony WF-C700N, the Soundcore P20i or the Redmi Buds 6, but only because they're the ones I'm least afraid of breaking haha
If noise cancellation is your priority, I definitely recommend the CMF Buds 2 Plus.
I really like the Liberty 5, they're wonderful, but the CMF Buds 2 Plus also surprised me a lot; the quality is impressive. I've also quite liked the JBL
I'm torn between the CMF Buds 2 Plus and the Soundcore Liberty 5
In my opinion, the most balanced are the CMF Buds 2 Plus
In terms of audio quality, the Liberty 5
I'd love to try them, I hope I can soon. The ones I've been using the most are the Liberty 5s because of how comfortable they are and the great audio quality they have.
I'm torn between the Soundcore Liberty 5 and the CMF Buds 2 Plus
I rotate them, but the ones I usually use are the Liberty 5
Soundcore Liberty 5, CMF Buds 2 Plus y los JBL
Of all the ones I have, I think it could be CMF Buds 2 Plus
The AirPods 4 have been amazing for movies, but if you don't like them that way, I always recommend the CMF Buds 2 Plus.
Definitely the CMF Buds 2 Plus
I don't know if they're the best, but the ones I've liked the most in terms of audio quality are the CMF Buds 2 Plus and the Soundcore Liberty 5.
For serviceable anc, you gotta spend some bucks, there is no way around it. Cheaper lowest price good anc product would be anker liberty 5, sometimes promo offer s or sth , I c it in lowest 66 dollars then, even at somewhat full price anker soundcore liberty 5 are worth it. These are light, and these also have a good battery life even with anc on. Then another mid budget type, but with top of the line anc, would be bose qc 2024. It has bose premium anc. It has more battery life than bose expensive premium qc buds. This is bose attempt at budget earbuds. Good fit and comfort is super important for anc. also hv sth playing(maybe like jazz relaxing music) while anc on, you will get the full anc effect with these buds Bose qc 2024 I wear it without fin tips 4 to 5 hrs, I walking, grocery shopping, sitting @ a desk, it is very good fit and comfortable for me.
i think you are talking abt sony xm5 buds, they are known to be uncomfortable. anker liberty 5, it is a recent release, very light bud, with good sound. if you dont use anc, you will get a much longer battery life. bose qc 2024, i use it without the fin tips, as they hurt my ear. this has good long battery life even with anc on. above two are medium range price, recent release buds, very good value and all over quality for the money. if you dont need anc at all, nothing ear open, is the best open ear earbud. it is also light and comfortable. fit and comfort are not same for everyone. my friend uses small size eartip in left ear and medium size eartip in right ear. me saying that to note to you that it is not necessary for both ear eartip size to be same.
you hv to hv sth playing like lo-fi jazz music or sth, while anc on, to get the full effect of anc. maybe try over ear headphones. after using earbuds i am never going back to headphone again for multitude of reasons. earbuds like - anker liberty 5, skullcandy method 360 anc - these i c cheaper price sometimes. for good anc you to pay some money. better seal, fit and comfort , then also sth playing while anc on, is a factor.
I've tried 4 pair and they are all the same. It's a pitch in music. I am unable to fix it with EQ. The liberty 5 doesn't have this issue whatsoever.
