Short answer: the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro. Both are rated 3.2/5 for sound quality (#955 and #942 of 1291 in-ear headphones), and the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro costs $169.99 against $199 for the Muse HiFi Power, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
The case for the Muse HiFi Power: A 14.5mm planar magnetic driver with about 2.3 dB of extra bass and sub-bass that stays within 6 dB of target down to 20 Hz, for a full, warm low end. Watch for: Squig.link measurements show a 12.7 dB peak near 11.9 kHz on top of a 6.5 dB dip near 6.5 kHz, so the lower treble sounds dim while the very top can add a hissy sheen.
The case for the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: These true wireless earbuds have bass about 2 to 3 dB above target and extend flat to 20 Hz, giving a warm, punchy sound that suits bassy and warm listeners. The tradeoff: Hobbyist measurements give it a Harman preference score of 64.2 with 2.5 dB of deviation, a fairly colored tuning.
Buy the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $29.01 less than the Muse HiFi Power.
