Anker soundcore Launches Liberty 5 Pro Series with Guinness-Record Call Clarity and ANKER’s First Custom AI Chip

For the first time, a TWS earbud ships with a custom AI chip, not a repurposed off-the-shelf DSP, but a processor designed from silicon up to run neural-net audio workloads directly on-device. soundcore, Anker Innovations’ premium audio and video brand, today announced the GCC launch of the Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max, the first products powered by ANKER’s co-developed THUS™ AI Chip, delivering a 150x leap in AI compute over the brand’s previous flagship platform.

Clear Calls, Backed by a World Record.

The Liberty 5 Pro has earned a Guinness World Record for the highest speech quality score ever achieved by TWS earbuds, and it starts with the silicon. By combining a 10-sensor matrix, eight microphones that capture ambient noise and two bone conduction sensors that detect skull vibrations, with the THUS™ AI Chip, both models isolate the speaker’s voice from surrounding noise in real time. The bone conduction sensors pick up the physical vibration of speech, helping the system capture and transmit voices clearly even at lower volumes or in quieter settings. The Liberty 5 Pro Max uses the same earbud hardware and delivers identical call performance.

A World-First AI Note-Taker in the Case.

The Liberty 5 Pro Max is the World’s First Smart Screen Earbuds with AI Note-Taker, controlled through a 1.78-inch AMOLED display built into the charging case. After a session is recorded, double-tapping the button on the back of the case prompts the soundcore app to generate transcripts, identify speakers, and extract action items, with no phone required for the recording itself. The Liberty 5 Pro features a 0.96-inch TFT mini touchscreen for core controls.

AI translation runs on-device across more than 100 languages with no cloud dependency, and no latency waiting for a server response. On the Liberty 5 Pro, it operates through the earbuds. On the Liberty 5 Pro Max, the case screen adds a visual translation layer for face-to-face conversations, displaying both sides of the exchange on the 1.78-inch AMOLED display. In a region where business meetings routinely span English, Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu — often within a single conversation — on-device translation moves from novelty to daily utility.

Adaptive ANC 4.0 That Adjusts in Real Time.

soundcore’s Adaptive ANC 4.0 uses an eight-microphone array to process audio up to 384,000 times per second, continuously monitoring noise outside and inside the ear and adjusting the noise cancellation curve as conditions change. With up to 2x deeper noise cancellation than the Liberty 4 Pro, it handles a broad range of noise,from low-frequency engine rumble on a flight to mid and high-frequency office conversations and ambient voices in a busy café, for consistent noise reduction across everyday listening.

HearID 5.0 and AI Sound Enhancement.

Both pairs include HearID 5.0, which builds a personal EQ profile from a hearing test and applies it to every song. A built-in AI Sound Enhancement system rebuilds audio detail lost to Bluetooth compression, restoring up to 65% of the quality typically sacrificed with wireless audio. Both models support LDAC Hi-Res Wireless Audio over Bluetooth 6.1.

Voice Control Without Delay.

Voice interaction supports 20 built-in commands with a 0.91-second response time, allowing users to adjust volume, skip tracks, answer or end calls, and change ANC mode — all hands-free. Transparency mode improves awareness of surroundings, and Easy Chat makes it simple to pause for a quick conversation before resuming music or a podcast.

Battery and Charging.

Up to 6.5 hours of playback with ANC on (12 hours ANC off), extending to 28 hours total with the charging case (50 hours ANC off). Fast charging delivers four hours of playback from a five-minute charge. Wireless charging supported.

Connectivity.

Bluetooth 6.1 with LDAC Hi-Res Wireless Audio. Multipoint connects up to three devices simultaneously. Apple Find My and Google Fast Pair built in.

Durability.

IP55 dust and water resistance on both models.

Jeffrey Liu, General Manager, Anker Innovations, Middle East & Africa, said: ‘The Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max bring our most advanced calling and audio technology to the region at a time when people here are more connected, more mobile, and more multilingual than ever. With the THUS™ AI Chip delivering clearer calls, smarter noise cancellation, and real-time translation alongside an AI Note-Taker that works without a phone, these earbuds are built for the way people across the GCC actually live and work.’
