You can get great earbuds for half the price of those you listed, check out Earfun they are punching well above their weight imo.
I think they are Earfun Air mk1
I just got EarFun Air 4 for $50. Similar to Anker A20s. Hopefully they last longer. ANC not as good. Apparently not as good. Sounds similar.
Love the dial because I default to using my phone to skip tracks and everything else because I loathe touch controls on earbuds. If I had to choose I'd take the Liberty 4 NC over them just because I think they are better overall in about every category- but you can't go wrong with either of these buds IMO- or for that matter Earfun Air 4 as well.
Anything from Earfun are fantastic, I've had a couple of different variants of the 'Air' model. Also, the Soundcore by anker P20i are brilliant value and sound good. I am a bit picky when it comes to sound, but these are all great choices. Will they be as good as AirPods Pro 2? No, but they are probably 75% as good for almost 10% of the price. I have had these ones I mentioned, and now have AirPods Pro 2, so I am talking from experience.
