Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max to come with a dedicated AI chip, touch display, and recorder function

In addition to revealing the details of the upcoming Soundcore Space 2 headphones, AnkerInsider has also shared the details of two new pair of Anker earbuds that will launch as the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max. These two new products will join the already announced Soundcore Liberty 5.

According to the source, the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro will have the model number “D1203”. The earbuds will feature a compute-in-memory AI chip dubbed Anker Thus. This chip should be responsible for the AI-powered audio upscaling feature mentioned in the leak.

As expected, the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro will have Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), although the source says that this will be version 4.0 which should be superior to the Adaptive ANC 3.0 of the Soundcore Liberty 5 (curr. available on Amazon for $99.99). The earbuds will be rated IP55 for dust and water resistance also feature Dolby Atmos spatial audio, Bluetooth 6.1, and Bluetooth Multipoint.

An interesting feature of the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro is the charging case which has a touchscreen. Users will be able to control playback, switch between connected devices, adjust ANC, and check remaining battery life using the charging case.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro will have a battery life of 6.5 hours with ANC turned on and a total of 28 hours with the case. When ANC is turned off, owners can expect up to 10 hours of battery life and a total of 45 hours with the case. The earbuds will support fast charging and the charging case will have both a USB-C port for wired charging and support for wireless charging.

AnkerInsider says the earbuds should cost $169.99 when they launch in the US and should be available in Black and White color options.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max will have the model number “D1204”. It will share several features with the Liberty 5 Pro such as the Anker Thus chip, Adaptive ANC 4.0, Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, Bluetooth 6.1 e.t.c. However, it will differ from the pro version in two major ways.

The first is that the charging case will double as a voice recorder, which means it will have its own microphones. According to the source, there are 8 microphones. In addition, the Liberty 5 Pro Max will also have voiceprint recognition which means they will be able to recognize the owner's voice.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max will have a price tag of $229.99 and be available in Black and Gold. Like teh Liberty 5 Pro, they will come with five pairs of ear tips of varying sizes and three pairs of ear fins or stabilizer arcs.
