Anker has just announced two flagship earbuds during Anker Day 2026 in New York City: the soundcore Liberty 5 Pro (€179.99) and Liberty 5 Pro Max (€249.99). They are both built around the company’s new Thus AI chip that promises up to 150x more processing power than the prior soundcore flagship generation, which is a bold claim aimed at boosting overall performance and efficiency.
What’s inside and core specs
Both models share the same 9.2 mm drivers with Dolby Atmos support, an 8-microphone noise reduction system, and a Guinness World Records certification for clearest TWS earbuds for phone calls. The lineup also includes features like audio Super-Resolution and 20 voice commands, standard across the range, which hints at a focus on clarity and hands-free control.
Liberty 5 Pro: adaptive tech and personalised sound
The Liberty 5 Pro differentiates itself with Adaptive ANC 4.0, which auto-adjusts to the environment and can be tuned across five levels via a mini touchscreen on the charging case. Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio with head tracking and HearID 5.0 personalised sound profiles complete the feature set. It arrives in Midnight, Titanium Blue, Titanium Pink, and Cloud White colorways, offering some variety for users.
Meanwhile, the Liberty 5 Pro Max adds a larger on-device control experience with a 1.78-inch fully functional AMOLED touchscreen on the case for controlling ANC, multipoint pairing, and display customization. Its standout feature is an AI Voice Recorder — a double-tap on the case starts recording, with transcripts and speaker-identified summaries processed entirely on-device, no internet required. The case also stores up to 12 hours of audio and is offered in Midnight and Champagne colors.
Availability and software
Both models are available now on the soundcore website, along with major retail partners, with the brand also rolling out VibeOS, a new AI layer in the soundcore app featuring a voice assistant named Anka for hands-free device management.
