Our Verdict
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless
Jabra Elite 4 Active True Wireless
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless are better for most purposes than the Jabra Elite 4 Active. They have a much more comfortable, stable fit, support multi-device pairing, and deliver a significantly better noise isolation performance. They have a more bass-rich default sound profile, although both headphones come with sound customization features. The Jabra headphones have a more neutral sound profile out-of-the-box as well as a mic with a significantly better recording quality.
