Anker’s brand new ANC earbuds offer an impressive spec and a fancy case for a knock-out price
The new Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro earbuds are here to take on the AirPods Pro 2 – and they have a very Apple-esque feature that the AirPods lack: a touch bar. Where Apple limited its touch bar to laptops and has since stopped using it, Anker’s version is on its earbuds’ charging case and hopefully has more staying power.
Anker isn’t the first firm to put a screen in its earbud charging case – as we’ve written previously, JBL has converted us from cynics to enthusiastic charge-case screen supporters on the JBL Live Beam 3 – but its approach is nice and elegant: the screen itself isn’t a touchscreen (it’s actually inside the case but visible on the outside) but it’s designed to work in conjunction with a slim touch-sensitive bar on the front of the case.
