Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The Live Beam 3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (76.1 vs 72.8), but the 3.3-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the Live Beam 3 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery — buds, battery — with case, spatial audio, among others.

Pick the Liberty 4 Pro if you care most about driver size. Its strongest claims are driver size.

Both ship with comparable active noise cancellation, multipoint, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
