Our Verdict
Anker SoundCore Life P2 Truly Wireless
TaoTronics SoundLiberty 79 Truly Wireless
The Anker SoundCore Life P2 Truly Wireless and the TaoTronics SoundLiberty 79 Truly Wireless are both decent truly wireless in-ears. The TaoTronics have better controls, a better-balanced sound profile, and a better microphone. On the other hand, the Anker have a longer overall battery life, leak less audio, isolate more background noise, and come with more sizes of optional tips.
