Anker’s Liberty 5 Pro earbud line nails calls with industry-leading clarity
Soundcore’s Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max use the new Thus chip to deliver the best-in-class call quality among earbuds, with strong ANC and LDAC support. The two models are functionally identical aside from the case: the 5 Pro uses a front 0.96-inch TFT display, while the 5 Pro Max adds a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen and an AI note-taking feature that records audio in the case and exports transcripts. Priced at $170 and $230, they sit near AirPods Pro 3 territory; if you mainly need great calls and don’t care about AI transcription, the 5 Pro is the stronger value, while the Max offers an extra AI note-taking option for power users.
