Our Verdict
Anker SoundCore Spirit X Wireless
Anker SoundCore Liberty Air Truly Wireless
The Anker SoundCore Liberty Air Truly Wireless are more versatile than the Anker SoundCore Spirit X Wireless. The truly wireless design of the Liberty Air gets rid of the cable and has a more portable design. Fans of bass may prefer the sound profile of the Spirit X, but the Liberty Air has better overall sound quality. The fit of the Liberty Air is also better for isolating ambient noise than the Spirit X. However, the Spirit X have a longer battery life, and their ear-hook design is very stable for sports. With the Spirit X, you also get a nice in-line remote with volume controls, and they are rated IPX7. While the Liberty Air is rated IPX5 for sweat and water resistance.
