With the Sony WF-1000XM5, the best all-rounder takes the test winner crown. The in-ears combine very good sound with strong ANC and many practical functions. The Liberty 4 NC from Sound- core proves that cheap doesn't mean bad, holding its own in a strong test field and deservedly receiving the price-performance seal of approval.

- Powerful sound
- high wearing comfort
- Runtime and fast charging.
- Less noise attenuation than with sealing in-ears.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 and the JBL Live Flex are great fun! Despite the open fit, the active noise cancellation manages the feat of reducing ambient noise. Both in-ears sound really good. However, JBL is clearly ahead in terms of battery life and the associated app.

Very good80/100
- Good sound
- Good battery performance
- Comparatively good voice quality
- Unusable ANC

The ANC function is unusable, but the voice quality is convincing compared to other wireless in-ears. If you wait a few weeks before buying them, you can expect a price of around 100 euros - this is where we would personally buy them.
