soundcore has introduced the Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max across the GCC, positioning the new earbuds for a region where calls often happen between traffic, cafés, airports and open-plan offices.
The headline is not just stronger noise cancellation, but a new on-earbud AI platform designed to keep voices clear without relying on an internet connection.
For commuters, frequent flyers and anyone who takes meetings on the move, the Liberty 5 Pro series looks built around the everyday problem that matters most: being heard properly.
At a glance
- soundcore has launched the Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max across the GCC.
- Both models use ANKER’s THUS™ AI Chip for on-device call processing, adaptive ANC and fast voice commands.
- UAE pricing starts at AED 699, while Saudi Arabia pricing starts at SAR 759.
AI calls built for noisy Gulf days
The Liberty 5 Pro series is powered by ANKER’s new THUS™ AI Chip, a custom processor that handles AI tasks directly on the earbuds.
That means call processing, noise cancellation adjustments and voice command response don’t need a live internet connection to work.
The call system uses 10 sensors in total, with eight microphones monitoring surrounding noise and two bone conduction sensors detecting the vibration of the wearer’s voice.
The aim is simple: separate speech from the surrounding soundtrack of traffic, construction, café chatter or office noise.
soundcore says the Liberty 5 Pro has earned a Guinness World Record for the highest speech quality score achieved by true wireless earbuds, while the Liberty 5 Pro Max uses the same earbud hardware and delivers matching call performance.
The Liberty 5 Pro Max adds meeting notes from the case
The Liberty 5 Pro Max is the more work-focused model, thanks to an AI Note-Taker built around the charging case.
A double tap on the back of the case starts a recording, with the 1.78-inch AMOLED screen confirming the action.
After the meeting, the Soundcore app can generate a transcript, identify speakers and pull out action items.
It’s a practical addition for users who move between client meetings, internal calls and quick check-ins, especially when grabbing a phone to start a recording isn’t convenient.
The standard Liberty 5 Pro keeps the case experience more straightforward, using a 0.96-inch TFT touchscreen for music controls, ANC modes and call handling, without the AI Note-Taker feature.
Translation, adaptive ANC and daily usability
Both models support AI translation, with the Liberty 5 Pro working through the earbuds and the Liberty 5 Pro Max working through either the case screen or the earbuds.
In a multilingual region, that feature has obvious appeal for travel, restaurants, taxis and mixed-language work conversations.
The adaptive noise cancellation adjusts up to 384,000 times per second and is described as twice as effective as the previous generation.
It’s designed to shift with the day rather than forcing the listener to keep changing modes, whether that means a morning commute, a busy café or an aircraft cabin.
Easy Chat lowers the volume and lets nearby voices through when someone starts speaking to you, so a quick exchange doesn’t require removing an earbud.
Battery life is rated at 6.5 hours with ANC on, with the charging case extending total use to 28 hours.
A five-minute charge gives up to four hours of playback, and wireless charging is supported.
The earbuds can connect to three devices at once, making it easier to move between a laptop, tablet and phone.
Apple Find My, Google Fast Pair, IP55 dust and water resistance, and voice control for 20 commands in under a second round out the everyday feature set.
