When I took the TaoTronics SoundLiberty Pro P10 earbuds out of the charging case, I saw that they looked much like Coumi Freedom Dots, which in turn were inspired by the Apple AirPods Pro. The best thing is that even if this shape may be a bit unusual in form, the Pro P10 fit well into my ears, and I never felt any discomfort wearing them for 4-5 hours. As we see on the AirPods, some stems are the trending design in the industry.

Using regular-sized ear tips, they work much better in terms of audio quality and noise cancellation. These earbuds feature a plastic body almost completely covered with a black matte finish; however, the outer part is also glossy. Every bud has dimensions of 1.37 x 0.98 x 0.78 inches (3.5 x 2.5 x 2 cm), which is relatively small for a design that follows in the footsteps of a classic earbud model.

Tapping on the right earbud will play or stop the current track. Tapping once on it increases the volume, while a light tap on the left bud decreases the volume. Moving to the next track requires three taps on the right earbud, and returning to the previous one requires three taps on the left bud. In addition to the standby style, P10 provides an Ambient mode; you must tap twice on the left earbud to turn it on.

They use Bluetooth 5.2, which brings some improvements over the previous generations, including higher bandwidth. However, it is not very helpful for wireless earbuds that do not support the best codecs and better multipoint connectivity (which the Pro P10 does not employ). The coverage is the same as for the last three to four generations down to Bluetooth 4.2, so the audio signal will fluctuate after 30 feet.

I verified the 3D sound stage because this is where many cheaper TWS earbuds fail, so I played an audio file made using binaural microphones. By doing so, I could determine whether the earbuds could present the actual sound accurately when there is a discernible instrument differentiation among others. TaoTronics certainly did an excellent job, as I could pinpoint where the singers and instruments were. Yes, there was also a good instrument differentiation.

I must admit that the focus on the instrument and voice separation is far more than what can be found in most of the TWS earbuds, which surprised me with how different some of the songs from my library sounded. These earphones will probably say much better than your lower or mid-range earbuds and give you a better listening experience. They also possess a mono-mode, in which one earbud is still functional when removed from the case. This is different from how the ANC usually operates.

TaoTronics SoundLiberty P10 Pro ANC works just as well, blocking low-frequency sounds, such as plane engines, up to a certain point. However, they are better than the Sony WF-1000XM3, which costs several times more. It allows disabling ANC, and there is also an Ambient mode and Anti-Wind mode. Generally, most other earbuds depend on the active mode. When the ANC was turned on, I tried out a few sounds with high and low bass, which was great.

This hissing doesn’t automatically mean that the Active Noise Cancellation is quiet if no music is playing. The mid and the higher bass were very friendly and relatively bright. The mids and the treble were correct, with a clean sound and a good instrument separation. However, the sound of the music was detached, and a fascinating fact is that with ANC on, some songs focused on treble acquire a slightly muddy character that may be useful for rock songs.

Disabling the ANC did not seriously affect the quality of the sound, but I could feel some minor changes. The sounds became more precise and accurate, but it took away from the fullness it managed with ANC enabled. This brings us to another important point I still need to mention: the volume level. These earpieces can become really, very loud, obnoxiously so. I could listen to the music with ANC on, at the most, up to 50-55 percent quietly.

The Ambient Mode is beneficial in some specific conditions, for instance, when a person walks or cycles around the town. For example, the better hearing of the approaching traffic while riding a bicycle provides safety. However, it is significant to note that the ANC may not be as effective as the leaders in this field, such as Sony or Bose. However, this slight exemption creates a heightened sense of consciousness for the surrounding sounds, suggesting a good balance between immersion and environmental awareness.

These earbuds have an internal vocal interface that lets you know if they are paired and connected or when the battery is low. Fortunately, because the case is very reticent about reporting the residual charge on its own, its single tiny LED lights up when opening it: white to indicate that the earbuds are fully charged and red if not. It also turns red or white once the lid is clicked back in, with the latter signaling that it is time to charge the case.

The Soundliberty P10 PRO is fully waterproof with an IPX8 rating to resist water and moisture at a high level. Dropping them to a water depth of up to 10ft (3 meters) for 30 minutes should not be an issue. These earphones can survive these conditions without compromising their performance.

Although you cannot use them for swimming (Bluetooth doesn’t work underwater), at least you can wash them in a tap after working out. Even though they are less expensive, the housing of the earbuds feels pretty cheap and can hold a couple of drops. In addition, the charging case is more solid than that of the Sony WF-1000XM4, which costs $69.

The charging case is smooth, but the finish can be easily scratched. It never fell out of my pocket, and it was usually in the same place, along with no sharp objects inside that already had traces. These earbuds have a high water-resistance rating of IPX8. This is the best rating and needs to be tailored for the testing.

Consequently, we cannot specify the water-resistant properties of the Pro P10 buds. However, we can confidently state that they meet the IPX8 standard. They should be able to operate below a depth of one meter for over thirty minutes. Thus, you’re dealing with the waterproof earbuds. You may apply them when showering, running in the rain, or sweating.
