The earbuds with the best call quality are cheaper than ever
Normally $169.99, the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro are discounted to $135.99 during Amazon's October sale, beating their previous low price of $149.99, and coming in $14 lower than the AirPods 5. While these earbuds stand out for a number of reasons, like great ANC and a handy screen on the charging case, our favorite aspect is the excellent call quality.
Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro
Where to Buy:Even beyond the crisp call quality, these earbuds are equipped with several features that feel like a treat at this price, with a IP55 dust and water resistance rating, LDAC for high-resolution audio with supported devices, and built-in voice commands. Our only minor complaint was that the default sound settings are a bit bass-forward, but that was easy to fix thanks to a set of seven sound examples that let you dial in the profile for your tastes.
