Our Verdict
Anker Soundcore Life Q35 Wireless
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless and the Anker Soundcore Life Q35 Wireless have different strengths. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the Liberty 3 Pro have a more stable fit, thanks to their in-ear design. They also deliver audio more consistently and have a somewhat better noise isolation performance. However, the Life Q35 are over-ears with a significantly longer continuous battery life and a better overall mic performance.
