18 Mar
Summary
- New Anker earbuds feature an AI chip for enhanced audio.
- Pro Max model includes a voice recorder with voiceprint recognition.
- Expected launch is late May with prices at $170 and $230.
Anker is preparing to launch two new flagship wireless earbuds, the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max, anticipated in late May. These upcoming models will integrate a new AI chip, dubbed Anker Thus, to power advanced features. Both earbuds will sport an upgraded Adaptive ANC 4.0, Bluetooth 6.1, an IP55 rating, and Dolby Atmos support.
The design of the new Pro models departs from the traditional stem look, featuring a sleek case with a built-in touchscreen. A key differentiator for the Liberty 5 Pro Max is its case, which includes microphones and functions as a voice recorder with voiceprint recognition. This advanced feature is expected to leverage technology from Anker's wearable AI note-taker.
The Liberty 5 Pro is slated for a $170 price tag, while the Pro Max will retail for $230. Both are expected to deliver approximately 6.5 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation. This move by Anker highlights a trend in the earbud market towards incorporating unique, value-added features as performance capabilities mature.
