Liberty 5 by Anker, Noise-Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, 2x Stronger Voice Reduction, Real-Time Adaptive Noise Cancellation,Fast Charging,Dolby Audio, 6 Mic AI Calls

I have had these “earbuds” for a couple of weeks now, they replaced a budget pair that didn’t work properly, and I can definitely say these are worth that little increase in budget. I am not a sound purist but from my point of view they are excellent. Reading the instructions and downloading the app and fully charging was the recommended approach and I think this gave me a better understanding of the basics of use. There’s a good program in the app to set up your “buds” for your personal hearing based on age and range of tone you can hear, worthwhile checking this out. There’s a decent amount of options of ear fittings and having found the right fit and developed my technique for fitting securely I set about listening to a couple of hours of my favourite tunes. Finding the right volume was easy and the stereo effect was among the best I have experienced. Central voice with separated sound, well as I said I am no connoisseur, but it was to me excellent. I usually use over the ear headphones but recently found them a bit heavy and hot to wear after an hour or two. I found these comfortable even after a couple of hours. I haven’t mastered the buttons and committed function to memory yet, but I haven’t been trying. I am sure the younger more dexterous users will quickly pick up nuances. I can not attest to use in exercise but I found that they fit securely and survived some playtime with my energetic dog. Ease of use, well I can only say that being of a more senior age than perhaps the target market a read of the instructions and I was good to go. Value for money? Your discretion really, very much better value than a budget pair, simply vastly superior, sorry I do not have any reference to the luxury brands. Noise reduction both for people near by and for me the user seems to have past the test. Wife can not hear any noise from them and I have missed out on a few offers of tea, they pass my test! In conclusion, read the instructions, set to your hearing levels and kick back and enjoy.

These are well worth the price. The noise cancelling is noticeable immediately and works well. The sound quality is just fine and the set up for your taste is easy too do. I'm very happy with these.

I got these headphones for a good price on prime day. Sound quality is great and so is the fit. The case is really sleek too with the sliding feature. Noise cancellation is brill for in ear buds. My only gripe is the fiddly nature of the controls on the earbuds. It's not top or swipe, you have to a strange gripping motion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best earbuds I’ve ever owned! Absolutely love these Soundcore Liberty 5. The sound is fantastic — rich, juicy bass but still beautifully balanced, with clear vocals and plenty of detail. With Dolby Atmos enabled on my phone, the sound feels incredibly spacious and immersive, almost like being at a live concert. The fit is another huge plus. They sit perfectly and securely in my ears, are very comfortable, and don’t stick out awkwardly like some other earbuds — no “Shrek ears” here! 😄 ANC works brilliantly, the overall build feels premium, and the sound quality genuinely surprised me. Powerful bass without drowning out the rest of the music, great separation and a really enjoyable, full sound. I’ve owned quite a few in-ear headphones over the years, and these are easily the best I’ve had. Soundcore absolutely nailed the Liberty 5. Highly recommended!

I've been rocking liberty air 2's for years and they are great... One of those should I buy the new ones when the old ones work fine.... Well I treated myself and wow welcome to the future... Who knew how good the difference would be... I now do... tested for a couple of days and it's a joy too listen to music again.... Here's the review... The noise cancelling doesn't cut out everything but it does such a good job that outside noise is now a background thing which doesn't hinder what you're listening to... Very strange how quiet the world goes.... Very comfortable to wear and the battery well you just put them back in the case and they are fully charged... I use for a couple of hours a day and haven't yet charged from purchase... I would without hesitation purchase these again and after hearing these I'm thinking what the hell do the really expensive Bose etc sound like?? There's a couple of great things that aren't mentioned.... your control with a clicker type button on the pods and it can be personalised in the app, for example one click play/pause, two clicks volume, three next track or whatever order you like.... The play click starts the music from Spotify without opening from the phone... How? Spotify doesn't even open? Also take these out of your ears and the music stops... Still trying to work out how they know... Recommend purchase

5 stars because nobody reads the 1 star reviews. Anker get 5 stars for DOWNGRADING an already not so great product. Oh dear, no "lessons learned" from last time, I bought the Liberty 5's and made a rather scathing review of them (below) and had hoped after contacting customer services that they would indeed "learn lessons from my feedback" They didn't, AND they made them WORSE, despite this supposedly being the "next iteration". (If you're wondering why I bought them - to see if Anker really did do any product improvements. NOPE.) Here's how: They used smaller drivers than the previous iteration (liberty 4) 10.5 > 9.2 mm. These liberty 5's have worse impedance - 17 ohms compared to the previous 10 ohms of the liberty 4's, THAT REALLY MATTERS IN SOUND OUTPUT. 10 ohms to 17 ohms for earbuds is a bad thing. REALLY BAD. (Quieter, less bass, less battery efficient) Doesn't have AI translation software built in. THEY USED THE SAME ANC system as before (which was bad). It still stops the music when it hears something - EVEN WITH THE ANC TURNED FROM THE "BE AWARE" SETTING OF 5 TO MAX, which is supposed to stop that behaviour. As they are new, I cannot comment yet on the longevity of the mic usage, but if the mics on this one start cutting out or misbehaving like the last one - I will be asking for a refund - AGAIN. And the biggest kick in the 'nads of all? THEY REDUCED THE PREVIOUS 2 YEAR WARRENTY TO A 1 YEAR "LIMITED" WARRENTY. So Anker produced a worse product, with HALF the warranty period for around the same money when the other product is bought on sale. Good job Anker. Here is my previous review - which got deleted TWICE: Edited from original review which seems to have gone..... missing. Anker reached out to me after my below review and their customer service I have to say is as excellent as I would hope from a company like Anker, and we have had a resolution to the matter, and promised to pass on my criticism of the "too sensitive" ANC software. Having used them a couple more times, even though the ANC is still too sensitive, if that's not really what you're using them for, then these earbuds give excellent sound reproduction and I reiterate as good if not slightly better than Sonys CF-700's and should definitely be considered for your next earbud purchase. Edit 2 after 1 years use - the microphone for speech for telephone calls has stopped working, they are currently under review for repair or replacement - music sound is still good - even after the latest update the ANC is STILL TOO SENSITIVE AND TURNS THE MUSIC OFF WITH THE SLIGHTEST PROVOCATION - like me coughing, that's even when ANC is turned up to 10. **Original review as follows:** I bought these in the recent black friday and after downloading the software, doing the hearing test and the equaliser test I put them in and went to my workshop (I work from home as a cabinetmaker). All seemed fine until the ANC kept going on and off - after a google, turns out the ANC "Be aware" software will autoturn the music off if it hears ANYTHING. A door closing, a screwdriver dropping onto the floor, a car driving past and THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT NOT DO THIS. Turning the ANC to max setting does not stop this. I bought these BECAUSE there is a lot of noise distractions in around and near my workshop and wanted ... guess what? ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING 100% of the time. What these do instead is ""sort of active noise cancelling..... unless it hears a noise". As my tagline, instead it's like a skittish chihuahua "What's that? **bark bark** I heard something, what is it? WHAT IS IT? Oh it's nothing....." and then the music comes back on. And I'm absolutely not joking when I say that this was happening MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE PLAYTHROUGH OF A SINGLE SONG - 3, 4, 5 times within a handful of minutes. THE WORST BEHAVING ANC SOFTWARE OUT OF THE THREE ANC EARBUDS I BOUGHT TO TEST. It works great, for the 20 seconds until it hears a sudden noise, then cuts the song ENTIRELY. It's TOO sensitive. For a cost of £100 on sale or £130 normal price, this is bloody terrible and INCREDIBLY BAD SOFTWARE DESIGN that they don't have an option for "full active noise cancelling at all times - ignore all outside sources".

To begin with these EarPods rivalled even the most expensive and better known EarPods I’ve tried. However I decided I would use these daily and do a long term review. Here is what I’ve found. Battery Life - this does kind of differ depending on the NC option you have chosen but I get a good week or so without needing to charge them. Comfort - initially I was sceptical and thought I would get ear fatigue quite quickly with them but I was pleasantly surprised. After maybe 2-3 hours as with every earphone I’ve tried you do begin to get a bit of an ache but otherwise okay. Sound Quality - here I was massively impressed, and compared to a cheap Anker pair I ditched a year or two ago. You get a deep bass (which you can alter in the app) but as standard they are brilliant. Noise Cancelling - this once again depends on the mode you use with the app but I didn’t really have too many issues with this. The downsides - Well to start about a week ago the volume on the left earbud (which I don’t often use) decided to be much quieter than the right counterpart. For me this only is an issue when I use both at the same time. Generally speaking this is a massive problem. Another point to add is the app which is impressive but full of bugs and freezes a lot. I’m not sure if this is the earphones themselves or the app, but over the last month or so it keeps changing EQ and noise cancelling modes on its own. Which is very frustrating. The microphone on the earpieces are pretty meh. Not the best in the world but certainly not the worst. As for value, I’d have to give it to Anker, you get a lot for your buck, more than competitors and in the last year alone they’ve come a very long way. But I have to come back to the issue of the dodgy left ear piece. It’s just so frustrating. 3 stars

I’ve been using the Soundcore Liberty 5 earbuds for a few weeks now and overall, they’re a solid pair of earbuds. The design is sleek, the fit is comfortable, and the battery life is impressive. Connectivity is fast and stable, and I really like the companion app with its customizable EQ settings. However, there’s one major downside I’ve noticed: the sound quality changes a lot depending on the mode you’re using. When I have noise cancelling turned on, the music sounds rich, clear, and really impressive quality. But when I switch to normal mode (with ANC off), the sound becomes flat, hollow, and almost tinny. It’s a noticeable drop in quality that makes me avoid using them without noise cancelling. It’s not a total dealbreaker for me, since I mostly use ANC anyway, but it’s definitely something to be aware of. For the price, I expected more consistency across modes. Still, if you plan on using ANC most of the time, these are a great choice.

Works well for price. Good that one can personalise settings via the app and have a choice of in-ear bud size. Haven’t had a chance to use the noise cancelling for air travel yet and suspect it won’t come near over-ear headphones.

Eu vou fazer aqui uma avaliação baseada na minha experiência com vários fones de ouvido bem mais caros (Sony WF-1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort Ultra, AirPods Pro 2/3, Nothing Ear etc.), então saibam que o sarrafo está bem alto. 1° Construção e Design: O fone é muito bem construído, com acabamento premium tanto nos earbuds quanto na case. Os materiais são de qualidade, leves e com boa durabilidade. A única ressalva é a tampa deslizante da case, que parece um pouco mais frágil que a de concorrentes premium. Tem certificação IP55 (resistente a suor, chuva e poeira), o que é excelente para uso diário ou academia — melhor que muitos fones nessa faixa e comparável a opções mais caras. 2° Conforto: Encaixe preciso e estável, graças às borrachas de silicone de ótima qualidade (vem com uma variedade grande de tamanhos — algo simples, mas que faz diferença enorme). Eu tenho orelhas de tamanhos diferentes e uso uma de cada lado sem problema. São leves, mais confortáveis que os SoundPeats Opera 05 e até que os Bose QuietComfort Ultra em sessões longas. O app tem teste de encaixe, o que ajuda a maximizar ANC e som. 3° Bateria: Aqui é um dos grandes trunfos. Fiz testes reais: ANC ligado + volume 80%: ~6h por carga + 4 cargas completas da case = ~30h total. ANC desligado + volume 80%: +8h por carga + 4 cargas = mais de 40h. Os números oficiais (8h com ANC / 12h sem, totalizando 32h/48h) são confiáveis. Carregamento é bem rápido (10 min para várias horas de uso), embora não seja o mais veloz do mercado (Nothing e EarFun ganham aqui). Mas conta com Suporte a carregamento sem fio que é um diferencial muito bacana! 4° Qualidade de Som e Volume: É aqui onde o título dessa avaliação se justifica, esse fone COM CERTEZA vale mais do que o anunciado. Graves pesados e impactantes (basshead total), mas com clareza e controle que muitos fones de R$1.000+ não entregam. Médios limpos e presentes, agudos com brilho (às vezes até excessivo na equalização original). Depois de equalizar (e se lembre que nesse fone e INDISPENSÁVEL você equalizar, gaste uns bons minutos testando todos os presets disponíveis e vendo onde se encaixa melhor no seu gosto, dificilmente a equalização original vai te agradar), a experiência fica fantástica. Escutei “Innerbloom – Rüfüs Du Sol” e senti toda a complexidade da track com os graves bem fluidos e sem exageros, e “Meet Me Halfway” (Black Eyed Peas) soou leve e energética. O volume desse fone é muito forte, sobe absurdamente (80% facilmente acima de 110dB, cuidado com audição!). Comparando: Sony WF-1000XM5 (quase 3x o preço): O Liberty 5, bem equalizado, rivaliza ou supera em bass impactante e energia, embora o Sony tenha mais refinamento natural de fábrica. Bose QuietComfort Ultra: Bose é mais equilibrado e “premium” em alguns gêneros, mas o Liberty entrega mais punch e diversão por fração do preço. AirPods Pro: Os Soundcore ganham fácil em graves pesados e customização. Suporte a LDAC (hi-res) e Dolby Audio (com modos Music/Movie/Podcast) eleva tudo quando ativo, além de serem recursos de muita qualidade. 5° Aplicativo Soundcore: Um diferencial gigante. Interface moderna, rápida e intuitiva. EQ de 8 bandas, dezenas de presets, HearID (teste de audição personalizado) e Preference Test — esses recursos transformam o som. Controles totalmente customizáveis, ajustes de ANC/Transparência, multipoint (conexão simultânea em múltiplos dispositivos), modo jogo de baixa latência... Tudo premium sem complicação. É um dos melhores apps do seguimento. 6° ANC, Transparência e Chamadas: ANC é ótimo para a faixa de preço — cancela bem ruídos de baixa frequência (avião, metrô, escritório) e vozes, bem melhor que gerações anteriores. Não chega ao nível dos Sony XM5 ou Bose top (que custam 3-4x mais), mas surpreende e é “forte o suficiente” no dia a dia. Modo Transparência ainda é o ponto mais fraco (fica um pouco distorcido e altera a EQ). Qualidade de chamadas é excelente (6 mics), clara mesmo em ambientes ruidosos . No geral: Esse fone é um espetáculo. Vale muito mais que o preço pedido (cerca de R$500 – R$600 dependendo da promoção). Fones de R$1.000+ (e até mais) não fazem frente em custo-benefício. Eu tinha preconceito com a marca, mas depois do Liberty 5 mudei completamente de ideia e vou buscar mais produtos Soundcore. Se você quer graves pesados, boa bateria, ANC sólido e customização insana sem gastar uma fortuna, compre sem medo. Recomendadíssimo!

Ho acquistato queste Soundcore Liberty 5 dopo aver valutato diverse opzioni e devo dire che ne sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto. Suonano incredibilmente bene, ben oltre le aspettative per questa fascia di prezzo. Ecco i punti principali dopo i primi utilizzi: Qualità del suono (10/10): Il doppio driver si sente tutto. Il suono è pulito, i medi e gli alti sono cristallini e i bassi sono profondi ma bilanciati, mai impastati. Ottimo il supporto LDAC per l'alta risoluzione. Se vi piace ascoltare i dettagli nei brani, queste cuffie sono fantastiche. Cancellazione del rumore (ANC): Isola molto bene dai rumori esterni (traffico, mezzi pubblici o brusio di sottofondo). La modalità trasparenza è altrettanto valida e naturale. Comfort e stabilità: Sono leggerissime e non danno quella sensazione di pressione fastidiosa nell'orecchio. Rimangono ben salde anche se ci si muove parecchio o durante l'attività fisica. Applicazione: L'app Soundcore è un valore aggiunto enorme. Il test HearID per personalizzare l'equalizzazione in base al proprio udito cambia completamente l'esperienza d'ascolto. Comoda anche la funzione di tracciamento della frequenza cardiaca per gli allenamenti. In conclusione, se cercate un paio di auricolari che puntino tutto sulla qualità del suono e sulla sostanza, acquistatele a occhi chiusi. Valgono ogni centesimo.

Amazing product

Hej, Det är tredje gången jag köper Liberty hörlurar. Första var Liberty 4 som jag tyckte dom var så bra att gav bort som present. För in så länge sedan köpte jag Liberty 5, vänster sidan var svagare och tunnare ljud, skickade till backa den. Efter ett tag köpte igen, tyvärr det är samma med dom också, men jag orkade inte att skicka tillbaka och använder dom, eftersom för det priset du får faktiskt så mycket produkt. Liberty 5 är mindre men jag märker inte att bär bekvämare hörlurar jämfört med 4an. Lådan till hörlurarna är små och får plats i fickan lät, men det är svårt att känna av upp och ner sida på lådan, dom borde haft fyra små prickar på under sidan och ett på fram sidan för att göra lättare att känna av vart man ska pusha för att öppna lådan speciellt när är mörkt man tar upp lådan det är risk att trycka och gör sönder den. Hoppas att dom fixar till nästa vision. Om du har stora händer det är inte så lätt att ta ut själva hörlurar så lätt, för mig inte så stor problem. Batteri tiden är fantastiskt, ljudet är jättebra, kan bära länge utan problem, uppkoppling jätte snabbt, jag använder hörlurarna bara för att lyssna på musik, för samtal dom är inte så himla bra tar upp väldigt mycket oljud från runtomkring faktiskt, men Samman lagt med det priset får fem plus av mig. Rekommenderar starkt. Tackar Amazon också det är nöje att handla och att ha med dom att göra totalt upplevelse med Amazon, jag är jätte nöjd prime kund.
