The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro, the headphones with a display case that compete with the high-end at a lower price

We have had the opportunity to test the new Anker headphones, the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro which, apart from being characterized by sound quality in the bass and support for Hi-Res LDAC and Dolby Atmos codec with head tracking, have a case with integrated screen which has become one of the hallmarks of the company that is reminiscent of its iconic wall charger.Before going on to appreciate some of the best experiences that the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro offer, their technical specifications range from noise and call cancellation with Adaptive ANC 4.0 (8 microphones + 2 VPU to isolate voice) and 9.2 mm wool paper transducers for audio, integrated voice control (20 commands) and a battery that reaches 6.5 hours with ANC or up to 12 hours without ANC.

The new Anker headphones are located in Spain at a price of 179.99 euros like the ‘TWS’ that come to compete against the high-end of traditional brands, although at this price it can be said that they have no rival in screen case, processed by local Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Bluetooth 6.1.

There is another aspect in which they also stand out, and it is one of their great claims: their 10 sensors and AI isolate voice in a better way than most of the alternatives available in the Spanish market in the medium-high range.

In addition to being able to pair up to three devices simultaneously, they also stand out from the competition for their 8-band equalizer and HearID 5.0 ​​test to calibrate the sound to real hearing.

Regarding local AI processing, so popular thanks to the improvements in AI models from China such as Qwen or DeepSeek, the Anker Thus chip directly executes audio processing which resides on the headphones themselves instead of being sent to servers in the cloud.

This is where the Anker chip comes into play, capable of processing more than 384,000 audio data per second in real timewhich benefits the user by adjusting sudden changes in ambient sound without latency (delay) and protecting privacy by not sending conversations outside the headphones.

Regarding the case, and depending on the need or perspective of the buyer, with a 2.4 cm screen, and with options to pair Bluetooth, find the device, take a photo or change the Dolby Audio equalization and ‘easy chat’, It is still a large case compared to those of other brandsalthough in this case it is close in function to one of the best headphones that can currently be purchased, the JBL Tour Pro 3.

However, the case of the Pro Max model is not so much of a hindrance when carrying it, since it implies a functionality that some users may find very useful. offer a recording module (with transcription to text that is processed in the cloud for 154 languages).

THE SOUND QUALITY

Regarding the sound, Soundcore, known for giving more presence to the bass, In the Liberty 5 Pro it continues with that constantso what we recommend is using the equalizer to balance the sound, unless electronic music is our favorite musical genre, which makes them ideal headphones in this sense.

For other genres, the best thing to do is reduce the bass and equalize the mids and highs to give greater harmony to the sound set emitted by Anker headphones. Actually, this compensation in the equalizer responds to the lack of sharpness in the mids and highs.

On the battery though They last 6.5 hours with ANC activatedthey are a little far from the 8 to 10 hours in which the JBL Live Beam 3 or the Nothing Ear are located.

CONCLUSION

With an elongated capsule-type design, as another of the features that identify Soundcore headphones, with a compact and oval format, they adapt perfectly to the ear holes, so in this sense nothing to highlight so that the sensations it gives come mainly from the sound quality —although it could improve in the highs and mids–and its string of specifications such as Bluetooth 6.1, AI in local mode to improve call clarity and other details such as support for Hi-Res LDAC.

In fact, Hi-Reds LDAC allows you to access the lossless quality of platforms such as Spotify that elevate the experience to a premium with Soundcore headphones available in Spain since June.
