Liberty 5 Pro earbuds introduce Anker’s Thus AI audio chip to improve noise reduction and enhance voice clarity during calls in noisy environments. The earbuds retain the charging case LCD touchscreen, now placed on the outside for easier access and increased to 0.96 inches. The touchscreen supports adjusting ANC levels and enabling transparency mode. Battery life is reduced slightly, offering up to 6.5 hours with ANC on, or up to 28 hours total with the charging case. Anker claims ANC is 100% more effective than the Liberty 4 Pro, call voice clarity improves by reducing background noise, and voice commands respond faster. Volume, playback, and ANC modes can be controlled by voice. Liberty 5 Pro Max adds AI-powered note-taking via a larger 1.78-inch AMOLED case display, supports Find My, and records conversations and meetings.
"These are the company's first earbuds featuring the Thus AI audio chip Anker announced last month, here being used to bolster noise reduction capabilities and help ensure the user's voice can be clearly heard during calls, even in noisy environments. They're the first new Soundcore Liberty Pro earbuds since the 2024 version that launched with a charging case screen. Joining the Liberty 5 Pro are a new Max version that add AI-powered note-taking capabilities through their charging case."
"The Liberty 5 Pro are available starting today for $169.99 in blue, white, black, and pink color options. They carry forward the charging case LCD touchscreen functionality of their predecessor, but it's now located on the outside for easier access and is a bit larger at 0.96 inches. The touchscreen can be used to adjust ANC levels or turn on transparency mode."
"The addition of the Thus chip does result in a small hit to battery life with up to 6.5 hours of listening with ANC turned on that can be boosted to up to 28 hours in total when paired with the charging case. However, the AI chip delivers improvements elsewhere including, Anker claims, with ANC that's 100 percent more effective than the Liberty 4 Pro, improved voice clarity during calls by reducing background noise around you, and faster responses to 20 built-in voice commands. You can adjust volume, control playback, and change ANC modes by just asking."
"The Liberty 5 Pro Max are also now available, but for $229.99 in black or titanium-gold finishes. They feature the same battery life, IP55 dust and water resistance rating, and support for Apple's Find My network as the Liberty 5 Pro, but with a much larger 1.78-inch AMOLED display on top of the charging case. The screen can be used to adjust settings and control playback of what you're listening to, while the charging case can be used to record conversations and meetings."
