Our Verdict

Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC Truly Wireless

Sony WF-C710N

The Sony WF-C710N goes head-to-head with the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC Truly Wireless in the lower mid-range of the earbud market. Anker always punch above their weight when it comes to ANC performance, and the Liberty 4 NC are no exception, offering impressive results for an affordable price. The Anker also offer a longer total battery life and comparable mic performance to the Sony. For most people, we think the Anker are a better-value purchase. That said, their stemmed design isn't for everyone, so if you prefer a more discrete, pebble like earbud, the Sony may be the better choice.
