Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro

you can buy for wireless earbuds in my opinion). The ANC is also great (but as usual, ANC only works for sounds that are constant like the rumble of a plane/bus, not for sudden noises).

But if you're looking for noise cancellation on a budget, the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro earphones deliver the best you'll find under $150, and earn our Editors' Choice award. The true wireless Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro earphones aren't perfect, but they deliver a sculpted, bass-forward sound signature and some of the best noise cancellation we’ve heard below $150.

It's non-existant. I am on the latest firmware, I did the ANC hearing test and just for fun, tried all ear tips and every slider setting in the app. I then went to youtube and played various sounds at different decibels...nothing. Zero difference between having ANC off or the slider on any setting.

But the competitive $130 price tag of the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro brought me in, and their true active noise cancellation and well-designed app kept me coming back for more. They could certainly use a bit more bass and a smaller case, but Anker has made a pair of wireless earbuds that bridges the gap between a more budget-friendly option and a reliable, all-around great earbud that I was excited to put into my ears every day.

\- the fit is great. The plugged up feeling I got from other earbuds is way better. Not 100% gone, but significantly better. This is a big deal when on walks listening to quieter things like podcasts.

However, their overall battery life falls short of their advertised playtime.

Better than overrated Soundcore Liberty Air Pro 2. Microphone quality -- Very good.

I like most everything about the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro better except they fall out of my ear constantly if I'm moving around no matter the tip (especially during yard work and working out). Call quality is good as long as they stay in place.
