I actually picked up the Liberty 2 from Amazon, but went to WalMart today and they also had them in stock.
As far as sound, they are similar to the Pros but the bass on the Liberty 2 is a bit deeper & bigger, but less refined. The highs are crisp, yet lack the precision of the Pros. Overall, I think the sound on the Liberty 2 is more exciting, but less defined. There is also a hiss on the Liberty 2, it it’s not as bad as the Pro. The case on the Liberty 2 does not have wireless charging, and even though it’s glossy, it has a sparkle/metallic finish, so it still looks good.
I like the Pros, and at first the hiss didn’t bother me, but now I notice it all the time. While the Pros are technically better and fun, the Liberty 2 are close and still very enjoyable. For me, it’s worth saving some cash and returning the Pros.
The $50 I’m saving may go toward these bad boys:

Thanks for the feedback,I was actually wondering if someone had compared the LP2 and the LP2Pro. It doesn't sound like the "Astria Coaxial" makes that big of a difference then, except for adding some hiss I've seen people comment that they sound like the WF-1000XM3 but actually stay in their ears, it might have been the LP2 Pro though, not the LP2.
The Soundpeats Truengine SE look interesting with their dual DD and it seems like they could be a good fit for my big ears, no wings though sadly. I've seen a mention in the comments of a Truengine 2 with wireless charging and "wings" but can't see them on Amazon.
