Liberty Neo

I have my Anker Liberty Neo's for 5 Years now without any problems. They work great on Deck and were about 25€.

Cheap Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo's. They work fine.

I'm using a pair of Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo that's over 5 years old now. Got them a month before the Covid lockdown. They still hold a decent charge (last me about 3 days with 3-4 hours use a day) for their age. And they've been through the wash a couple of times. That said, I wouldn't trust a product to be that capable today.

I have tried several budget earbud including soundcore r50, oppo w11, oppo enco buds 3 pro, soundpeats clear pod (no eartip version), soundcore neo, cheap stuff like robot, vivan, etc. I personally think they sound a bit similar since they have no ANC, but i choose oppo enco buds 3 pro as daily outdoor pick because it got better water resistsnce

I think you’re going to get much better bang for your buck from earbuds, though some people don’t like the way they fit and the battery life is generally worse than traditional headphones. I have a pair of Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo which I bought way back in 2020 for $50, but they are no longer sold. The Soundcore brand has several models for under $40. I think these would be a safe bet. https://amzn.asia/d/3tePbzr I recently bought the Moondrop Space Travel 2 Ultra which I’d read very good things about, but I prefer the old Ankers as they are more fun to listen to as they have more bass. I will keep them but just use them for podcasts when doing housework.

I do have the Soundcore Q20 Headphones - i sleep with them - they're great. I tried the A40 earbuds and they sucked with windnoise while cycling. I also had the Liberty Neo earbuds i bought in 2019 - they lasted about 4 years until they fell apart. I really wanted some Soundcore buds that worked

I’ve tried so many different options specifically for long-listening to audiobooks, including the options you listed plus the Shokz bone conduction ones, Beats, etc. My overall choice is the Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo True (I just checked and it looks like they may have been replaced by the Soundcore Life). I have small ear canals, comfort is my top priority for audiobook listening, and I’ve found these work the best plus the price is super reasonable so I keep multiples around.

Get soundcore liberty series.
