- Liberty 5 Pro Max by Anker Wireless Earbuds, AI Note-Taker

After using the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max for several days, I can honestly say these are some of the most impressive earbuds I’ve owned. The first thing that stood out to me was the sound quality. The audio is rich, detailed, and powerful without sounding muddy. Bass is deep and satisfying, vocals are clean, and the overall clarity is excellent across different music genres. Whether listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos, everything sounds premium. The noise cancellation is seriously impressive. Once ANC is turned on, background sounds almost completely disappear. I tested them around household appliances, at work, and in noisy environments, and they performed far better than I expected for earbuds. They are getting very close to over-ear headphone level noise canceling. Transparency mode is also excellent. Voices and surrounding sounds come through naturally without sounding robotic or overly amplified. It actually feels safe and comfortable using them in public while still being aware of what’s happening around me. Comfort was another big surprise. With the different ear tips and ear fins included, I was able to get a very secure fit. They stay in place during walking, workouts, and daily activities without constantly adjusting them. The charging case deserves its own mention. The touchscreen is not just a gimmick — it’s genuinely useful. Being able to quickly switch modes, check battery life, and control settings directly from the case is incredibly convenient. The sliding design also feels premium and satisfying to use. The app is packed with features and customization options. I especially liked the hearing test, EQ adjustments, adaptive modes, and personalized sound settings. Everything feels polished and easy to use. Battery life has also been solid so far, and call quality has been clear on both ends. Overall, these earbuds feel like a true premium product and offer an incredible amount of features for the price. Soundcore really did an amazing job balancing sound quality, ANC, transparency, comfort, and smart features into one package. Very easy recommendation from me.

I've gone through a few pairs of wireless earbuds over the years, and the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max earbuds are easily the best-sounding pair I've owned. The low end has real depth without turning muddy, mids are clear, and vocals sit right where they should — nothing feels overcooked by an aggressive EQ preset. Using the HearID personalization feature to tune the sound to my own hearing made a noticeable difference too; it's a nice touch that a lot of competitors skip. The noise cancellation is the real standout, though. I've used them on flights, in busy coffee shops, and in an open office, and each time the ANC does a legitimately great job of flattening out ambient noise — HVAC hum, chatter, traffic — without making the audio feel hollow or pressurized, which is a complaint I've had with other ANC earbuds in the past. Call quality is also strong; several people I've talked to on calls mentioned they could barely tell I wasn't in a quiet room. Battery life holds up well for a full workday, and the 5-minutes-of-charging-for-4-hours-of-playback feature has bailed me out more than once when I forgot to charge them overnight. As a bonus, the case's AI Note-Taker is a nice extra for in-person meetings — it's not the reason I'd buy these, but it's a genuinely useful feature to have in your back pocket when you need it. Bottom line: If you care about sound quality and want ANC that actually holds up in noisy real-world environments, these are worth it.

I am a loyal user for Huawei freebuds pro headsets since the first gen till date with Freebuds pro 4, I couldn't find any headset that can provide a call quality like what I am getting from the freebuds pro 4. I watched by if sudden many videos for the Soundcore Liberty 5 pro max, immediately I ordered despite the fact I am living in Dubai, waiting for 10 days to get the headset, wow, received, quickly open the box charge it fully, connect to my Honor Magic V5, run the recorder start recording while the radio volume is high, driving speed 100km/hr, listening to the recorded voice, very disappointed, catching all vocals except mine, angry, open Amazon app, complete the refund request... Wait wait, I got a call from colleague, I don't know why I connect the headset again, I was shocked, Radio running, window is open, she asked, are you in the office?? I said, what? I am in the car and the radio is running, window is open, she didn't believe, I raised the volume to 40 creating more noise, but she still cannot hear any noise, I disconnect the headset during the call, she was shocked more than me, how come this headset cqn isolate everything. I open Amazon, canceled the refund request. The issue I observed, that the native recorded app doesn't use the external mic to record, installed Film it, tried to record video in different senarios with the Soundcore headset, the result was so impressive. Conclusion, this is the best headset that I ever used in my life, nothing can be compared with the mic quality during the calls or Teams, r3ally I love this headset, it is little bit expensive but it is worth every penny. Recommend it to anyone interested in the best call quality headset. Thanks Soundcore for this great product

I initially wrote a very harsh review of the new Liberty 5 Pro Max because I felt that the company incorrectly advertised a far larger set of AI note taking capabilities than the system actually has. This still needs attention but Anker support reached out to me to explain that the marketing for the product had gotten a little ahead of the software development plan and that the features I needed are coming later this year. In short, you can only use the AI note taker for in-person meetings right now where the microphone in the case can hear what's being said in the room, so online meetings or phone calls can't be transcribed or summarized by the note taker. With that problem addressed, here's a less frustrated review of the rest of the system: Pros: - Excellent sound quality, maybe not audiophile level but that's not what earbuds are for - Top notch noise cancellation, on par with Apple Airpods Pro 3 - Shockingly good sound fidelity on both ends of a phone call, does great reducing ambient noise on my end - Form factor- they look odd but actually fit and stay put better than my Airpods - Customer support- I own several Anker products including device chargers and their exceptional Soundcore Sleep buds and although this is my first time needing support, they knocked it out of the park. Cons: - Case touchscreen isn't as responsive as I'd like, takes a few tries to get it to respond - Case is a little bulkier than I'd prefer but that's the cost of having the screen and the extra microphone, etc. - The aforementiond software shortcomings, which are being addressed

Just picked these up, so this is early days, but the call quality already sold me. I've got the Technics AZ100, and the Liberty 5 Pro Max mics are noticeably better in a loud room. The ANC is the other standout, it clamps down on background noise hard. You also get 3-device multipoint like the AZ100, which is handy, though running all three drops you off LDAC. The charging case screen is genuinely nice to have, controlling ANC and settings right from the case beats digging through an app. Why you might hold off: the AZ100 still wins on pure music sound. Battery also takes a hit once you turn on voice control, AI sound enhancement, LDAC, or spatial audio. The AI note-taker is nice but probably not worth paying up for the Max over the regular 5 Pro, and translation feels gimmicky with real lag since it isn't processed onboard. Get these for calls and noise. Skip the upcharge if music is the point.

I was pleasantly surprised. I already own 2 Bose and 1 Samsung earbuds. This one has the best noise cancelling of all. I tested it by calling a friend on a windy day and he could not hear any wind. The Bose failed miserable and the Samsung was not as good. The fit and comfort is even better than the Bose which I thought was already comfortable. The Samsung fit is not snug and uncomfortable. This operates similar to the Bose with taps and swipes which is real easy and allows more customizations . The Samsung was difficult to tap and swipe because you had to find the exact spot

Writing this review after I just accidentally washed them with my clothes and destroyed them. I couldn't find them the previous night and despite being $230, I could not find a way in the software in my Google Find Hub to make the headphones case reveal their location. My Soundcore P20i headphones that I've had for over a year combined with a PebbleBee tracker has more in ear comfort, ability to locate the unit, and better battery life (even with ANC disabled). Comfort: I tried the multiple eartips on the Liberty 5 Pro Max's and none were very comfortable. The eartips that come with these headphones are vertical ovals that caused me ear pain over extended durations. If you buy these, you may need to buy some 3rd party eartips, which is ridiculous considering these already cost $230 after tax. Findability: using the PebbleBee Clip Tracker, which can attach to the wrist strap my P20i came with, I was able to find my P20i's so long as they were within 30 feet. No such strap or even hole for said strap is on the Liberty 5 Pro Max, and despite registering the device in my Google Find Hub, I was unable to make the case locatable remotely despite being in the same room as them. The one advantage these headphones have over my previous ones is the ability to play a loud tone from the buds themselves should they get lost, but playing a really loud song on full volume that has specific high frequencies (I use Begin Again by Knife Party), I was able to locate my P20i's pretty consistently. Battery Life: The Liberty 5 Pro Max has much less case battery life than I expected when compared to the P20i. I believe this may be due to the headphones using more power. that being said, I only used 1 headphone at a time for 80% of my device usage, which does not enable ANC, so it was not due to ANC draining the battery fast. Sound Quality: This was especially disappointing. I had to really play with the equalizer to finally dial in what I thought was good sound. Once I did, it sounded pretty good, but not magnitudes better than my $20 P20i's. I can't tell if it's because those headphones are so well built, but that is the main function of headphones and it didn't perform much better than ones that cost 1/11th the price from the same company, making the value for money not very good for waht I personally value in headphones. I have a decently good ear for sound frequency identification as tested in dialedgg too, so I don't think it's an inability to tell the difference from myself. Basses are loud and clear but have to be very carefully tuned in the equalizer or all high and mid tones get completely lost. The "find your sound" thing in the app was also not very helpful, and the default equalizers were extreme versions of what their titles set out to achieve, so much so that they were awful sounding. Noise Canceling: This is where the headphones were genuinely very capable. I loved putting myself in an isolation chamber using the max level ANC setting. the only downside is running ANC drains the battery much faster, but they still had a decent run time out of the box with ANC on. Final verdict: These headphones have a few really good features such as excellent ANC and decent sound quality, but the main reasons you would buy headphones, combined with a lack of findability or ability to enhance findability using a 3rd party peripheral makes these really hard for me to recommend at $230. The value for money is just not there for this product in my opinion and unless you're traveling a lot and for some reason have your headphones and not your phone and need to translate only spoken words (seriously, why is this a feature when your phone, the thing this will likely be connected to 100% of the time, can do this better?). I feel as though they are more gimmick than evolution of wireless headphones, but only time will tell, and it may just be a really bad experience for only me.

Rare for me to give 5 star on earbuds (please read through because this device really deserves more than 5 stars but I am actually giving 3 stars). As an audiophile, I own a lot of earbuds, headphones, bone conduction devices, etc. If you want truly the best sound experience for the cost you pay, Liberty 5 Pro Max might not be beatable for a very.. very long time. Only downside is when I compare this to my LCD i4, it lacks the short punchy bass in comparison. It sounds more like Bose when it comes to bass, but slightly more bleeding at low frequency. Highs are ok. NC is excellent. Call quality is absolutely amazing. If you are in market for cheap headphones like anything below Dan Clark Aeon 2, just get this earbuds and you'll be happy. I was little worried that this earbuds is too large or uncomfortable, but don't be fooled by how it looks in the photo. It is nothing like the Sony one that had terrible fitting. This is far better and more comfortable than any other earbuds I own. I also love the case where you can control sound enhancements. AND REMOTE CAMERA!! lol. This is surprisingly very useful. Now, let me get into the downside. 1. App is terrible. Connecting to device doesn't work as smooth as expected. (My primary phone is Z Fold 7) Sidenote: I noticed it from using the other SoundCore AI note taker device. Recording function is a lot better than Plaud. I regret so much for buying over 5 Plaud devices. But, when it comes to App, sync, and firmware update. Soundcore app is almost garbage on Android. 2. Case too big. (Love the screen, but can you make it smaller?) I love how it opens, but seriously? It's thicker than two of my folds phones put together. However, up to this far, this device would still deserve 5 star rating more like 4.9 stars. But what takes of the two is simply the following: Anker's privacy policy states that they transfer personal data within the Anker group to countries including China, the EEA, the UK, and the US, and that their China-headquartered entities handle global services like data operations and customer support. I can't take this to my work or clients' site!!!!!

The best watch I ever buy

Allez-y sans hésiter !!! J'ai tésté tout les autres : Aipods pro 3 / Galaxy Buds4 Pro / Jbl Tour Pro 3 / Bose ... Je dois avouer que j'en ai marre de Apple / Samsung / Huawei qui réservent les meilleures fonctionnalités de leurs produits à ceux qui utilisent un smartphone de leur propore marque. Je ne comprends pas en 2026 que EU tolère encore cela. Je dois avouer que j'ai enfin trouvé le meilleur compromis avec les Liberty 5 Pro Max : ANC : très qualitatif (légèrement en dessous de Apple) Version Bluetooth : 6.1 Nombre de connection Bluetooth : 3 Ecran sur le boitier : Fonctionnalité très pratique Autonomie : 5h environ Bémol : Anker devrait fournir un petit flim de protection pour l'écran du boitier

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic – A True Full-Sized Headphone Killer! ​What can I say about these earbuds? They are absolutely fantastic! Right out of the box, you’re greeted with great packaging, a premium case, and exceptionally well-built earbuds. ​🔊 Sound Quality & Smart Tuning ​The sound profile is incredibly rich and balanced. I was able to dial in the absolute best audio quality for my personal taste by using the built-in AI tuning features—the calibration really hit the mark perfectly for me. ​🚊 Impressive ANC vs. Full-Sized Headphones ​I own a pair of full-sized Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, but wearing them out and about in this intense summer heat is simply impossible. I was incredibly skeptical, but after just one day of use, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max fully satisfied my needs and actually replaced my massive over-ears. That is seriously impressive! The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is top-tier; noise from the subway or trains barely gets through, leaving you with nothing but the music. Wow! ​📱 Innovation on the Case ​The charging case itself is an outstanding piece of tech. You don't even have to pull out your phone to tweak your settings or adjust the sound—everything can be controlled directly right from the screen on the case. It's incredibly convenient. ​💭 Final Verdict ​If you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving them a try. Since there is a risk-free one-month return policy, you really have nothing to lose if the sound signature doesn't suit you. But chances are, you'll be just as blown away as I am!

Voy a tratar de hacer una Review basada en experiencia sensación … que no sea técnica, sino comprensible para todo el mundo !!! No se parecen en nada a ningunos otros auriculares que haya tenido en mi vida, me han sorprendido en todo, pero sobre todo, que es algo que aún me explota la cabeza 🤯!!!!!! es cuando te llaman y hay un montón de ruido alrededor, y la gente piensa que estoy en mi casa o en mi despacho!!!! A raíz de lo anterior, me voy a la función de Cancelación activa de ruido inteligente!!!!!!!!!!!! Con silencio activo de ruido adaptativo 😎😎😎😎🔝porque de verdad que te llame tu jefe mientras estás en una fiesta(textual🎉), coger el teléfono y que mi jefe piense o que mi mujer piense que estoy en el coche parado no tiene precio…. De verdad, no he visto nunca algo tan extremo como estos auriculares en este sentido!!! no te mienten con la publicidad, son realmente los mejores auriculares para conversaciones telefónicas en cualquier lugar, un auténtico todoterreno que te va a dejar con la boca abierta!!!😮 Voy a seguir con las funciones de inteligencia artificial, porque es algo muy distinto a cualquier otro auricular!!!!📞 el estar escuchando música y que te hablen “que el sistema identifique que te están hablando”, que te baje el sonido de la música, y que escuches lo que te han dicho en un momento determinado, es una auténtica pasada !!! y es que lo escuchas absolutamente todo cuando te están hablando… y tú, ya usas esta información como más te interesa 😂😂😂😂😂 ejemplo, mi mujer me ha pedido bajar la basura y le he dicho que no le había escuchado porque tenía los auriculares puestos, con tu jefe que te ha pedido un informe y le dices que no lo has escuchado porque estabas en una Team’s de trabajo jejeje 😜…es mentira, lo has escuchado absolutamente todo!!!! pero a ti te saca de más de un apuro!!! …de verdad que es increíble como vas a la calle, vas escuchando música, vas a cruzar la calle y antes de que pase el coche se ha bajado el nivel de la música o de la conversación y escuchas que viene un coche, sientes realmente que es magia!!!!🧙‍♂️ Otra cosa que me ha gustado mucho es el estuche, y lo comento porque es algo diferencial!!!! tener las fotos de tus hijos o el estuche mola mucho, poder controlar todas las características de inteligencia artificial de los auriculares 📞 con el estuche me parece espectacular, su funcionamiento es muy sencillo e intuitivo!!!! la verdad es que, al principio, una de las grandes diferencias entre el modelo Pro Max y el modelo Pro, es única exclusivamente las funciones de inteligencia artificial y el estuche!! merece mucho la pena. Puedes grabar una conversación de una llamada importante, de una Team’s importante, puedes hacer traducción instantánea, puedes regular la inteligencia artificial de la cancelación activa de ruido y muchas más cosas… Yo vengo de usar los pro cuatro, y aquí, además de todo el tema de inteligencia artificial, del estuche, el diseño también ha cambiado y mejorado mucho, mucho mejor adaptado y con más sentido a la hora de hablar y escuchar música!!! sin ningún lugar a dudas🎶 cuando lo usas notas que estás ante un producto distinto, mejor que unos de Apple, Huawei o Samsung!! El precio, 285 € que me han costado no son baratos desde nuevo, pero es que te dan tanto que si la marca fuese Sony o Jabra, hablaríamos de unos auriculares de 700 € fácilmente!!! Por supuesto, como se escucha la música, es una auténtica delicia, es como escuchar un concierto por primera vez en tu vida, escuchar los bajos como nunca antes y las voces con una nitidez y claridad abismal!!! Aaaaaaahhh!!! no quiero olvidarme del servicio posventa, ya que recientemente, tuve un problema con los Pro cuatro que tenía, los mandé a arreglar, y me enviaron unos nuevos en garantía!!!! eso me recordó a cuando Apple quería realmente tratar bien a sus clientes!!! si tienes un problema y está dentro de garantía, se comprometen con el cliente!!! Pero como todo en la vida, hay algunas cosas que no me han gustado; 🔴Yo quería este modelo Pro Max, porque te permitía la grabación de llamadas y mi decepción ha sido porque solamente tiene para 120 minutos al mes gratuitamente, a partir de que tienes que pagar un extra!!!! y lo quería porque me gusta mucho el grabar y transcribir Teams de reuniones!! pero obviamente me da para grabar una reunión con suerte… 🔴La función de traducción inteligente aún no la he usado, aunque me huelo que tendrá el mismo problema que la transcripción inteligente!!! 🔴 El estuche debería de traer alguna funda protectora, ya que después de semanas de uso se me ha rayado un poquito y cuando ves la foto de tu hijo con la ralladura, pues no mola!!!! creo que por este precio tiene sentido lo que pido!!! 🔴 A veces tienes que cambiar de sistema inteligente a manual, porque hay tantos cambios de nivel de sonido, que cuando solo quieres escuchar música, pues lo más cómodo es quitar la adaptación inteligente… Si los recomiendo?! sin ninguna duda… si hablas mucho por teléfono, si trabajas mucho en la oficina, si te gusta escuchar música de verdad, si quieres funciones inteligentes, como nunca habrás visto en unos auriculares, un diseño completamente distinto, una buena calidad y una buena marca detrás… no lo dudes, estos son con mucha diferencia los mejores que hay en el mercado!!!📈

Amazing noise cancellation and call clarity in noisy environments
