Anker has launched the Liberty 5 Pro earbuds, equipped with the new Thus AI audio chip, enhancing noise reduction and call clarity, available now for $169.99 in four colors.
AI Chip Enhancements
The Thus AI chip is designed to improve noise cancellation by 100% compared to the previous Liberty 4 Pro model. It also offers better voice clarity during calls by minimizing background noise and supports 20 voice commands for controlling playback and adjusting ANC modes.
Design and Display
The Liberty 5 Pro maintains the charging case touchscreen from the 2024 model, with the screen now positioned externally for easier access and increased to a 0.96-inch size. This display allows users to adjust ANC levels or activate transparency mode.
Battery Life and Availability
The earbuds offer up to 6.5 hours of playtime with ANC active, extendable to 28 hours using the charging case. Though the AI chip slightly reduces battery life, the enhanced performance may justify the trade-off for users. The Liberty 5 Pro is available in blue, white, black, and pink.
Liberty 5 Pro Max Features
Anker also introduced the Liberty 5 Pro Max, priced at $229.99, available in black or titanium-gold. This model features a larger 1.78-inch AMOLED display on the charging case, IP55 dust and water resistance, and compatibility with Apple's Find My network. The case can record conversations, generating transcripts via the Soundcore app.
