Clearer Phone Calls Powered by the new THUS AI Chip, the Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max earbuds employ a neural-net AI model in conjunction with a 10-sensor matrix to help separate the user’s voice from surrounding noises. This ensures the user’s speech is clearly heard by the person on the other end of the call, even in complex and dynamic acoustic environments. MORE FOR YOU The new earbuds also have bone conduction sensors within their microphone array that detect the physical vibration of the user’s voice, enabling the system to capture and transmit voices more clearly, even at lower volumes and in moderately quieter settings. Soundcore’s new Adaptive ANC 4.0 uses an array of eight microphones and can process audio data at up to 384,000 times per second and continuously monitoring external and residual in-ear noise. The noise cancellation curve is then adjusted in real time as conditions change. More Effective ANC The ANC algorithm can handle a broad range of noise types, including low-frequency engine rumble of an airplane, the mid-to-high-frequency office chatter as well as ambient voices. The result, claims Soundcore, is more consistent noise reduction across “everyday listening environments.” For personalized listening, both pairs of earbuds include HearID 5.0, a technology that creates a personal EQ profile once the user has taken a quick hearing test. The EQ profile is then applied to every song to produce a bespoke tone profile for the listener. A built-in AI Sound Enhancement system uses a neural-net AI that can rebuild audio detail lost during the Bluetooth compression process. Soundcore says the system can enhance and restore up to 65% of the signal typically degraded during wireless transmission via Bluetooth. Thanks to the THUS AI chip, voice interaction with both pairs of new earbuds natively supports 20 built-in commands with an average response time of just 0.91 seconds, enabling users to command tasks like adjusting volume, skipping tracks, answering or hanging up phone calls or changing the ANC mode. Transparency Mode Transparency mode is also included with the earbuds to enhance the user’s awareness of their surroundings. An Easy Chat feature can be used to temporarily interact with someone before resuming the playback of a music playlist or podcast. The Liberty 5 Pro earbuds are housed in a charging case with a 0.96-inch LCD touch screen. The Liberty 5 Pro Max earbuds also include a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen with an AI Note-Taker. Double-tapping the charging case button following a meeting will trigger the Soundcore smartphone app to generate a transcript identifying speakers and listing action items. AI translation is also available through the earbuds on the Liberty 5 Pro or by using the Liberty 5 Pro Max’s charging case or earbuds. Additional Features Both new pairs of earbuds can play for up to 6.5 hours on a single charge, with ANC turned on. With the charging case battery, the playtime figure increases to 28 hours. Other features include Bluetooth 6.1, Multipoint connectivity, enabling users to connect three devices at once. Additionally, Soundcore has also provided support for Apple’s Find My and Google’s Fast Pair. Both earbuds are rated at IP55 for dust and water resistance. Finally, Soundcore says the Liberty 5 Pro Max earbuds have just set a Guinness World Record for phone call clarity. Liberty 5 Pro Max earbuds also use the same earbud units and offer identical clear phone call performance. Pricing and Availability:
