Side-by-Side Comparison
The JBL has a more neutral, balanced sound profile, and it also comes with a companion app that makes it easy to pair it with another speaker. However, the Anker supports voice assistants, and it has a longer battery life.
Although some headphone makers are closing the gap with long-time leader Bose, the company's Editors' Choice-winning QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and Earbuds still offer the most effective ANC overall.
Who is Bose biggest competitor? ›Soundcore Liberty 4 NC vs Soundcore Life A3i
The 4 NC has a stronger and deeper mid-bass and presents a fuller sound, while the Life A3i elevates lower treble more to provide more energy in the higher end - but without giving it a metallic or flat edge. They're comparable on sound quality.
Liberty 4 has double-driver speakers so the sound is noticeably better. Also they're smaller and fit in the ears better. Liberty 4 NC has better ANC and longer battery life. However they're bigger and not as comfortable as the regular Liberty 4.
Is the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC waterproof? ›The device is dustproof and water-resistant.
