Anker’s new earbuds are the first to feature an AI chip that enhances noise reduction

Freedom 5 Pro is Available starting today for $169.99 In blue, white, black and pink color options. They carry over the LCD touchscreen functionality of their predecessor’s charging case, but it’s now located on the outside for easier access and is slightly larger at 0.96 inches. The touchscreen can be used to adjust ANC levels or turn on transparency mode.

Adding a chip therefore results in a slight reduction in battery life, with up to 6.5 hours of listening with ANC turned on, which can be boosted to up to 28 hours in total when paired with the charging case. However, the AI ​​chip offers improvements elsewhere, Anker claims, with active noise cancellation (ANC) that’s 100 percent more effective than the Liberty 4 Pro, improved voice clarity during calls by reducing background noise around you, and faster responses to 20 built-in voice commands. You can adjust volume, control playback, and change ANC modes just by asking.

Liberty 5 Pro Max is Also available now, but for $229.99 In black or titanium gold. It features the same battery life, IP55 dust and water resistance rating, and support for Apple’s Find My network as the Liberty 5 Pro, but with a much larger 1.78-inch AMOLED display on top of the charging case. The screen can be used to adjust settings and control playback of what you are listening to, while the charging case can be used to record conversations and meetings. Recordings are shared and processed by the Soundcore app on your smartphone, which generates transcripts and highlights action items while identifying each speaker.
