Anker has launched the SoundCore Liberty 5 Pro Bluetooth earbuds, which have been awarded the Guinness World Record for earbuds with the clearest-sounding voice calls. As a pair, the earbuds have eight traditional microphones and two bone-conduction sensors. Those inputs are fed into a noise-reduction system powered by Anker's new Thus AI processing chip. Anker claims its active noise cancellation (ANC) blocks more outside noise than any other earbuds on the market. The Liberty 5 Pro includes personalized equalization that tests your ears, asks your preferences, and fine-tunes sound uniquely for you. They also include an AI audio processing feature specifically designed to restore sound details that are typically lost by the Bluetooth codecs. The earbuds also have on-device voice recognition for basic functions like "volume up", "answer call", "next track", and "activate ANC". The earbuds have 6.5 hours of battery life with ANC on (28 including the charging case battery). They also charge quickly, giving four hours of battery life in just five minutes. The standard Liberty 5 Pro has a small touch-screen on the charging case and sells for $170. For $230, the Liberty 5 Pro Max sports a larger touch-screen on the case and can store up to three hours of audio with AI-powered dictation and a collection of note-taking features. Both versions are available now.
