Anker's New Liberty 5 Pro Series Earbuds Are All-Around Great, but Do One Thing Incredibly Well
Anker’s new earbuds use a chip with 150 times more processing power, and the flagship case adds a touchscreen and voice-note recording.
- On May 21, 2026, Anker Innovations launched the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max, the first earbuds featuring the company's new THUS AI chip designed to enhance call quality and noise cancellation.
- Powered by the THUS AI chip, the earbuds employ a 10-sensor matrix with eight microphones and two bone conduction sensors to isolate the user's voice from background noise, enabling what Anker calls "whisper clear" calls.
- While both models include touchscreen charging cases, the Pro Max features a larger 1.78-inch AMOLED display and an AI-powered note-taking tool that records meetings and generates transcripts through the Soundcore app.
- The Liberty 5 Pro is available for $170, while the Liberty 5 Pro Max costs $230; both models deliver up to 28 hours of total battery life with their charging cases.
- Anker positions these flagship products to compete with Apple AirPods Pro 3, leveraging Adaptive ANC 4.0 technology that processes audio data at up to 384,000 times per second for real-time noise adjustment.
