Anker’s Soundcore brand announced Liberty 5 by updating the Liberty series after about two and a half years. The new model does not maintain some remarkable features of its predecessor Liberty 4, but aims to offer more to the user in terms of battery life and sound experience. Anquer Soundcore Liberty 5, announced with a price tag of $ 129.99, has a more affordable price than Liberty 4. However, the removal of the heart rate sensor can be considered as an unexpected change for some users.
Although there is no great innovation on the design side, the Liberty 5 still comes with a functional structure. The compressed rod in the body allows the playback controls to reach a short way. The box design also supports both USB-C and wireless charging. This structure offers a practical solution in terms of portability and daily use.
ANKER SoundCore Liberty 5 comes with advanced active noise blocking support
One of the most remarkable points of Liberty 5 is to offer advanced Active Noise Broken (ANC) feature. In this model, Anker uses the new generation ANC 3.0 algorithm, which analyzes the surrounding sounds every 0.3 seconds and makes instant adjustments according to the environment. According to the company’s claim, significant frequencies such as human voice are filtered more effectively. This provides a cleaner sound experience, especially in crowded environments.
As for sound quality, a rich and balanced performance is offered with a 9.2 mm flexible wool paper diaphragm and double bass tubes placed on the headset. While the lower frequencies are transmitted more strongly, the overall sound balance is protected without deterioration. In addition, Dolby Audio support creates a three -dimensional listening space for the user. This feature provides a more immersive atmosphere, especially when watching movies or playing games.
On the battery life side, a significant progress draws attention. While the active noise is open, headphones can work for eight hours. When the ANC is closed, this time extends up to 12 hours. With the charging box, it is possible to use up to 48 hours in total.
ANKER has also improved the fast charging feature. Even if the device is completely empty, a five -hour listening time is offered on a 10 -minute charge. This provides a serious advantage to the user in emergencies. Such fast solutions are of great importance in daily use tempo.
Bluetooth 5.4 support was presented as connection technology. While supporting LDAC, AAC and SBC codecs, APTX is not on the list again. This can be considered as a negative detail for some sound enthusiasts. Nevertheless, LDAC support can be seen sufficient for high quality sound flow.
In terms of comfort, the headset comes with five different sizes of ear -end options. Thus, options for different ear structures are offered. Passive sound insulation is also increased with these variable ends. Thanks to the IP55 certificate, headphones are also resistant to dust and water splashes.
The removal of the heart rate sensor may be an important deficiency for some users. This health -oriented feature, which came with Liberty 4, was preferred by sports users. However, the Liberty 5 is located as a model that focuses more on sound quality and battery performance. This change can also make a difference in the general target audience of the device.
