Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro, 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have a weight of 12.4g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
are lighter than the Google Pixel Buds Pro with a difference -0.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Google Pixel Buds Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.

The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 0.4mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is 11 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, 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.
