Buying call

Buy the Liberty 5 Pro Max if you sit in meetings and want earbuds that double as a recorder: the case has its own mic and AMOLED touchscreen, SoundGuys rated the AI Note-Taker's transcripts close to Google Gemini's, and it measured 83% average noise reduction. It also supports LDAC and three-device multipoint, and Anker rates it at 6.5 hours with ANC on. Skip it if you only want great earbuds, because the $169.99 Liberty 5 Pro uses the same buds, sound, ANC and battery for $60 less. At $229.99 (Amazon and Soundcore, Oct 7, 2026) you also get a bass-heavy default tuning, a touchscreen SoundGuys found laggy, and only 120 free transcription minutes a month before a paid membership.
