Anker’s new earbuds have the best call quality I’ve ever heard

Key Points:

• Soundcore's new Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max earbuds, priced at $170 and $230 respectively, aim to compete with premium models like Apple's AirPods Pro 3 by featuring Anker’s new Thus chip for enhanced processing power and top-tier in-call noise canceling.
• Both models share identical specs including 9.2mm drivers, microphone array, ANC performance, sound profile, battery life, and IP55 rating; the main difference lies in their cases, with the Max version offering a larger AMOLED screen and an AI-powered note-taking app with audio recording and transcription capabilities.
• The earbuds provide excellent comfort and secure fit, with sound customizable via a questionnaire or 8-band EQ to address the initially bass-heavy default profile, supporting LDAC for high-res audio, and delivering ANC performance comparable to AirPods Pro 3 at a lower price.
• The standout feature is exceptional call clarity and noise cancellation during calls, outperforming AirPods Pro 3 in suppressing ambient noise, making them the best choice for users prioritizing voice calls.
• The Liberty 5 Pro Max's AI transcription and recording features add value for users who frequently record meetings or classes, but for most users, the Liberty 5 Pro offers the same core benefits at a lower cost.
