IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
Compared to the 1More Aero, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has a lower liquid rating than 1More Aero
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, what this means is that 1More Aero's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Aero have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.

1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 0.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The 1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro generate a clearer and crispier treble than the 1More Aero
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's measurement is 92dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and 1More Aero's case has a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
