Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, Mpow Flame S have a rating of IPX7 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 Mpow Flame S
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

ANC uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
