Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 Review vs FreeBuds Pro & Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro

The Huawei FreeBuds Pro were probably my favourite earbuds back in 2020. There was something I just loved about them, and I think at the time they offered an excellent balance of price, ANC performance and sound quality, making them more appealing than premium-priced options from Apple, Bose and Sony. I am also not overly…
