soundcore has officially launched the Liberty 5 Pro Series in the Philippines, introducing a new generation of AI-powered true wireless earbuds designed for productivity, communication, and adaptive audio experiences.
Unveiled during Anker Day Philippines 2026 at the Glorietta Palm Drive Activity Center, the lineup includes the flagship soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Max and the more mainstream soundcore Liberty 5 Pro.
The launch also marks the debut of Thus, Anker’s first neural-net AI chip platform, as the company pushes deeper into AI-integrated consumer audio devices.
Neural-net AI processing to earbuds
At the center of the Liberty 5 Pro Series is Thus, a new compute-in-memory AI architecture developed by Anker.
Unlike conventional chip designs that separate memory and processing functions, Thus processes AI tasks directly within memory storage. According to Anker, this reduces latency and improves efficiency for compact devices like wireless earbuds.
The platform debuted globally during Anker Day 2026 and now powers several intelligent features across the Liberty 5 Pro lineup.
Anker says the move reflects a broader shift in consumer electronics as AI becomes increasingly embedded into personal devices beyond smartphones and laptops.
Focus on voice clarity and adaptive ANC
Both earbuds feature an AI-powered 10-sensor fusion system combining eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors.
The system isolates user voices from background noise in real time by comparing airborne sound with vibrations captured directly from the user’s cranial structure. soundcore says this enables clearer calls even in noisy environments.
The technology also helped the Liberty 5 Pro earn a Guinness World Records recognition for achieving the highest speech quality score for TWS earbuds in objective testing.
The series additionally introduces Adaptive ANC 4.0, which dynamically adjusts noise cancellation levels by monitoring environmental and in-ear noise up to 384,000 times per second.
soundcore also integrated HearID 5.0, an AI-based personalization system that creates customized hearing profiles based on listening habits and hearing sensitivity.
Smart controls without needing a smartphone
The standard Liberty 5 Pro targets users looking for premium sound and intelligent communication tools without moving fully into productivity-focused features.
It includes lag-free voice commands processed directly on-device, allowing users to manage playback, calls, and volume hands-free.
Its charging case also introduces “Control at a Glance,” a built-in smart touch display that lets users adjust ANC settings, EQ profiles, and playback controls without opening a smartphone app.
Liberty 5 Pro Max expands into AI productivity tools
The Liberty 5 Pro Max pushes further into AI-assisted productivity by integrating note-taking and transcription tools directly into the earbuds ecosystem.
The device features AI-powered recording, real-time transcription, speaker identification, automated summaries, and follow-up task organization.
Its charging case houses a 1.78-inch AMOLED touchscreen powered by VibeOS DT, allowing users to access recording tools, widgets, ANC settings, and playback controls directly from the case.
The case also supports up to 12 hours of local recording with encrypted storage and cloud-based transcription processing.
Pricing and availability in the Philippines
The Liberty 5 Pro Max retails for PHP 12,995 and comes in Midnight Black and Titanium Gold color options.
Meanwhile, the Liberty 5 Pro is priced at PHP 9,995 and is available in Pearl Blue, Midnight Black, Pearl White, and Rose Gold.
Both models support Bluetooth 6.1, three-device multipoint connectivity, Apple Find My, Google Fast Pair, IP55 dust and water resistance, and up to 28 hours of combined battery life with the charging case.
