Soundcore, the premium audio and video brand under Anker Innovations, has officially launched its latest flagship true wireless earbuds, the Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max, at the company's Anker Day event in New York City. These new offerings are notable for being the first consumer audio products to integrate the ANKER THUS AI Chip, a proprietary platform designed to bring advanced on-device artificial intelligence capabilities to everyday electronics.
Whisper Clear Calls Powered by AI
The core innovation driving the Liberty 5 Pro series is the THUS AI Chip, which works in conjunction with a sophisticated 10-sensor matrix. This matrix comprises eight microphones dedicated to capturing ambient noise and two bone conduction sensors that detect skull vibrations. By analyzing these inputs, the AI chip is engineered to ensure exceptionally clear voice pickup, even in environments with significant background noise. This technology has earned the Liberty 5 Pro a Guinness World Record for call clarity, a distinction that also extends to the Liberty 5 Pro Max due to its identical internal hardware and call performance.
AI Note-Taking and Translation Features
Beyond superior call quality, the Liberty 5 Pro Max introduces groundbreaking AI-powered functionalities. Its charging case features a 1.78-inch AMOLED display that transforms it into the "World's First Smart Screen Earbuds with AI Note-Taker." Users can initiate audio recording by double-tapping the case button, after which the Soundcore app generates transcripts, identifies different speakers, and extracts key action items from the recording. This feature is designed for professionals and students who need to quickly capture and organize information from meetings or lectures. Furthermore, both the Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max offer AI translation capabilities. On the Liberty 5 Pro, translation is handled through the earbuds themselves, while the Liberty 5 Pro Max provides this functionality through either the charging case or the earbuds, offering greater flexibility.
Design and Availability
The Liberty 5 Pro boasts a charging case equipped with a 0.96-inch TFT mini touch screen. The earbuds themselves are designed for comfort and a secure fit, a crucial aspect for premium audio devices. Soundcore is also offering consumers in the US a "Try Before You Buy" program on Soundcore.com, providing a 30-day trial period at no upfront cost for those confident in the earbuds' call quality. The Liberty 5 Pro is available starting today for $169.99 in the US, with the Liberty 5 Pro Max priced at $229.99. Both models are available for purchase on Soundcore.com, Amazon.com, and BestBuy.com, offered in a range of colors including Blue, White, Black, and Pink.
