JBL Tour Pro 3 and Soundcore Liberty 4 NC top in‑ear headphone test results released
IMTEST evaluated several true‑wireless in‑ear headphones and named the JBL Tour Pro 3 the overall test winner. Reviewers praised its clear sound, more than nine hours of battery life with active noise cancellation (ANC), intuitive controls and a feature‑rich app, while noting that its microphone quality was only average and the charging case was somewhat bulky.
The same testing highlighted the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC as the price‑performance champion, offering strong sound, effective ANC and extensive app‑based sound‑customisation at a lower cost, though its mic performance, fit comfort and case ergonomics were criticized.
Chip’s separate test of the SoundPeats H3 focused on sound quality, mobility and comfort, using Spotify playback and subjective listening assessments. The H3’s audio clarity, bass response and ANC earned it favorable marks, while battery life, charging convenience and ergonomic fit were also evaluated.
