Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro Review: Master of Phone Calls
Outstanding call quality and an excellent price point put these earbuds way ahead of pricier competition.
The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro has proven to be a game-changer for me, a connoisseur of wireless earbuds. A pair of earbuds has finally addressed a longstanding issue that has plagued my daily life – the struggle of making phone calls while commuting in a noisy city. The Guinness World Records holder for "highest speech quality score" has transformed my commute and made phone calls a more enjoyable experience.
The buds, with their larger, flat pill shape and larger charging case, are comfortable enough for extended wear. They come with multiple ear tips and wing-tip sizes to achieve the perfect fit. On the surface, they are touch-sensitive, allowing for easy control of media, volume, and noise-canceling modes. The charging case also features a touchscreen display, providing battery levels and settings control.
Using Anker's proprietary AI chip, these earbuds excel at processing voices and reducing outside noise. In various environments, from busy streets to subway platforms, the Liberty 5 Pro delivers clear and loud voice quality, effectively reducing background noise. This includes sirens, highway overpasses, and crowded cafes, all of which are common in New York City.
The Soundcore Balance preset profile provides a well-rounded sound, though a custom HearID profile further personalizes the listening experience. The earbuds support various profiles, an eight-band equalizer, and an AI chip that enhances voice clarity. Despite being bass-heavy, they produce a sound that is enjoyable for most users, making them a strong alternative to pricier options like the Apple AirPods Pro 3 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.
Comfortably fit, durable, and offering superior call quality, the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro provides excellent value for its price, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a reliable pair of earbuds.
