Rank 10 out of 10ImTest10 In-Ear-KopfhörerReleaseMarch 2024

With the Sony WF-1000XM5, the best all-rounder takes the test winner crown. The in-ears combine very good sound with strong ANC and many practical functions. The Liberty 4 NC from Sound- core proves that cheap doesn't mean bad, holding its own in a strong test field and deservedly receiving the price-performance seal of approval.

In addition to current test results, it contains important features such as the type of water protection or the number of...

  • PositiveHigh quality LDAC codec
  • NegativeLow battery life
  • NegativeANC could be stronger

It's not easy to draw a conclusion. Because the Huawei FreeBuds 5 do a few things differently. The Chinese manufacturer does without an in-ear attachment and relies on a very unconventional design. If you like both, you'll get solid in-ears that are convincing all along the line in terms of sound and operation...
