These are great! To be perfectly honest, I was not 100% satisfied with the sound when I first got them but I downloaded the Soundcore app, where you can customize your sound preferences, and now I am in love with these! The fit is great! They don’t fall out of my small ear holes 😆 and are lightweight. I fall asleep with them in most nights because they are so non-invasive in your ears. The COLOR - I have the Apricot (or something like that) color and the case is so beautiful. It’s almost pearlescent. I also love the slide back top versus the flip top like most earbuds have. I did buy a clear protective cover for the case because I don’t want to ruin it it’s so pretty. They have great noise cancellation - I had them in in the bathroom with the overhead fan running and had to take one earbud out to check if I was hearing things correctly because I could not hear the fan at all and thought I forgot to turn it on. These earbuds feel and sound high-quality and I am looking forward to buying the newer version when the time comes to replace these. Battery life is also excellent.

On first use - WOW. The sound was clean and crisp. The sound cancelling did a great job blocking out a fan and the A/C unit. They fit great in my ear. The build feels like a good quality and for the price its a great value. Connecting was so simple (only connected to one device). The case is compact and easy to take with you anywhere. I travel a lot and will update once I hit the terminal

(Disclaimer I used AI to check grammar and clean up the review) Everything about these headphones is great, especially at this price point, and I would definitely recommend them. The sound quality is warm, the noise cancellation is phenomenal, and they’re comfortable enough to wear for the entire battery life without fatigue. They fit securely, charge quickly when needed, and the Bluetooth connection and syncing are excellent. The waterproofing is also top-tier—I accidentally dropped an earbud in milk, where it stayed submerged for about a minute, and after drying it off, it worked perfectly with no issues or crackling. My only gripe is the touch controls. I’m not a fan of the squeeze controls since they often dislodge the earbuds and feel less responsive than tap controls, which I would have preferred. Also, I’d recommend getting a color other than black—the blue ones I have are much easier to find if you drop an earbud or are searching for them.

Firstly I'll say these are great all rounders for earbuds. Sound is great, the ANC and transparency are pretty good, and I do like that these have IP55 dust/water resistance (Great for the gym), that and the gaming mode works wonderfully this time! (Not the case when the Liberty 4 Pro came out) However if you have a pair of either Liberty 4 model earbuds, I'd wait for the inevitable Liberty 5 Pro later on. These do have some improvements over the Liberty 4 Pro but sadly there's a couple of backwards steps. First issue is there are no sliding controls on the stems of the earbuds, which was present in the Liberty 4 Pro. It's now squeeze controls and I'm not a fan of this. Now it can be customized where either a single, double, or triple squeeze could be custom set to do whatever you want. But volume adjustment by squeezing wasn't very intuitive or responsive compared to the Liberty 4 Pro. Even said squeeze controls are worse this time around and I think that's due to the smaller section on the stem dedicated to the squeeze function. Maybe the later models after this one will improve this or even hopefully patched. Next is the ANC is a bit worse than the Liberty 4 Pro, not by much but with reducing volume to voices. When I'm at the gym or at home, I can't tell the difference between the 2 earbuds, but hearing voices both natively around me or on TV, certain tones of a voice pierce right through. (And I got a replacement set as this can be a sign of a faulty set of buds, this was the same with both units) Now this I don't mind too much, as I don't want ANC so good it's almost like sensory deprivation. But you'll want to be aware of this. Especially since I've been seeing reviewers say the ANC is outright better than the Liberty 4 Pro, and that's just not true. It's good, but not better. Now what I do like is the vastly improved transparency mode! While not as good as my flagship earbuds the Pixel Buds Pro 2, it's definitely an improvement over past Soundcore earbuds. I'd even say it's their best in show at the moment. It's very easy to hear conversations if you don't have the volume cranked too high, and I can easily hear traffic when out for a walk. They also improved the in-ear detection, much better than previous earbuds. It does take a couple seconds to pause music when taking a bud out, but it starts resuming my music almost immediately as I place it back in. The Liberty 4 Pro didn't even have this feature at first, and even with it being patched in it was a solid 5 or so seconds before music would pause or play. Also the battery life is improved quite a bit. A 4 hour walk and gym session had my Liberty 5 at around 49% battery, whereas the Liberty 4 Pro I'd be under 30% with the same time. Thankfully both earbuds have some impressively quick charging from their charging cases. A 20 minute top off had both back to 100%. However the Liberty 4 Pro's charging case does charge slightly quicker than the Liberty 5, but not by much. I imagine you won't notice if you charge your buds overnight or even for a few hours. Another thing I do love that's now working out of the box is the gaming mode. No issues thus far with either my phone, Nintendo Switch, or my Razer Edge when playing COD Mobile. Hardly any audio latency at all which is very impressive. Sadly wasn't the case with the Liberty 4 Pro, even now it's still a bit awkward to use. (You can't have multipoint on and they have to be connected directly to the device you're gaming on to work properly) I'm glad it's now working properly on the Liberty 5 right out of the box. For audio I can't really comment or even complain about. They sound great to me, but you'll want to use the Hear ID feature if they're too bass heavy or sound 'off' from your regular earbuds. Basically it's like a hearing test where you go to a quiet room and you'll answer which tones you can/can't hear. As well as listening to samples of a song that you think sound better. I hate fidgeting with levers and this gets rid of all that. Lastly with fit, you'll find something that'll work. Besides the included 6 sets of eartips, the nozzle where said ear tip goes has a universal shape where almost any 3rd party ear tip will work. I've had great luck with Spinfit, both their Omni and Ice eartips work real nicely. (They don't affect the seal and they're silicone, meaning they won't wear down over time as quickly as memory foam) Azla also makes great eartips that work wonderfully as an option too. In short, these are amazing earbuds that aren't exactly Airpod killers like what some reviewers claim. But I imagine you'll like these quite a bit if you need a slightly above cheap set of earbuds, or if you need something for the gym with good battery life. They do a lot of things real well (Maybe not so much with touch controls, but that's minor) but they don't do anything bad.

I’m really impressed with these earbuds. The battery life is good, they easily last through a few days without needing recharging. The sound quality is excellent!!! Clear highs, solid mids, and deep bass (all adjustable) that makes music. Calls are clear, noise canceling is very good. The case also has a sleek, modern design and is easy to carry around. One of the best features is the range of ear tip sizes included, making it easy to find a comfortable and secure fit. The app offers plenty of customization options, including volume controls, EQ settings, and other useful features to fine-tune the listening experience. Overall, these earbuds offer great performance and features for the price, definitely worth it.

Upfront, I am a fan of Anker products. I’ve had a pair of Soundcore Flare Speakers for years, and I still love them. Recently, I was looking for earbuds to wear while walking outdoors. Pros: They’re comfortable, and they come with six different sizes of ear tips. I could get a good fit, and I don’t have to worry about the earbuds falling out. I have a wonky left ear canal, and finding earbuds that stay in has been a challenge. These work great. The app works well and lets me tweak the EQ to my liking. The sound quality is quite good, particularly considering the cost. The battery life has been good, and the charging case works well. The Bluetooth connection is rock solid. It doesn’t disconnect, and I haven’t had to pair them with my Android phone again. Cons: The stem controls are a bit of a pain. I find it is too easy to turn off the noise canceling by adjusting the fit. The noise canceling is barely adequate. Common white noise, such as passing cars or fan noise, is not effectively attenuated. This is my biggest beef with these earbuds. I’m not going to replace them, but if I had known that the noise canceling wasn’t particularly good. I would have purchased something else.

I have come back here to revise my review which was based primarily upon a service experience vs. the product itself. Following my initial review below - members of the Soundcore/Anker customer support team reached out to me very quickly, understood the frustration with the automated system, and offered a full refund. After back and forth with them, I indicated that I really just wanted a replacement as I enjoyed the product very much - this was my second set. With a few days I had a replacement and they sound great - as did my initial set of Liberty 2. But now, with the Liberty 5 - the sound is truly great but now have the noise cancelling function which really makes them stand out. I am impressed with the way the customer team reacted to my review and appreciate the effort to make it right - which they did. I ordered Liberty 5 after enjoying my Liberty 2 very much. The Liberty 5 sounded great at first but the right earbud volume became a problem - virtually indiscernible - could hear it faintly. I went Soundcore website for help and this is really what this review is about. What a ridiculous experience using the Chat. It kept forgetting the entire conversation. It offered my a replacement and all I had to was confirm I tried all troubleshooting steps (which I had done several times over). I confirmed and it made me start over. Eventually I cut/pasted the entire conversation with all necessary information and was promised an email to move the process to the next step. The only email I got - an advertisement for 20% off my next purchase. That's not happening. The absolute worst, time suck, customer service experience possible. Do not buy this product if you expect service after the fact.

Liberty 5. Its not a 5 star becuz of the eartips, for me I like a different style. Bluetooth connects really quick and the range is great. I have good connection on multiple floors at my house. The sound is great with the app, being able to adjust the EQ. I usually use the transparency mode. Which is great as well. Phone calls? Callers can here me fine. Noise cancellation in a airplane are great as well. I have volume for mine at about 75%. And didnt here the kids cryn sitting a few rows in back. Til my music changed to the nxt track?? Anyway didnt really here em at tht point. Battery? I got about 7.5hrs w/nc on. (Airplane) switched to transparency mode and heard everyword flight personal said before and at conclusion of flight. The case lid is alittle suspect tho. It slides to open and feels like it will break. But luckly i dont play with it. It does stay close. Mag charging is great so far. The buds snap right in and charge full. Case is light, usbc charges pretty quick. As with the wireless. My NC4 lasted about 3yrs, til battery in buds began to fail. Hopefully, these last longer? I think a great purchase, quality. The sound is great with the soundcore app, features. NC is great. As with transparency mode. I got 7hrs on a single charge.

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.

Forget the Sony's... these are way better at a third of the price. Great sound, noise control and battery life.

المنتج رائع و نوع السماعات ممتازة

DOPO 2 MESI Le Soundcore Liberty 5 di Anker sono davvero un prodotto di alto livello. La qualità audio è eccellente, con suono pulito, bassi profondi e una cancellazione del rumore attiva che funziona molto bene sia in casa che all’aperto. Le chiamate risultano sempre nitide grazie ai microfoni con intelligenza artificiale, e l’autonomia è più che soddisfacente, garantendo ore di utilizzo senza preoccupazioni. Un grande punto di forza è la doppia connessione Bluetooth: poter passare da PC a smartphone senza dover disconnettere e riconnettere ogni volta è davvero comodo. L’unico piccolo difetto è che, di tanto in tanto, questa funzione di multiconnessione può confondersi e non gestire perfettamente l’audio tra i due dispositivi. A parte questo, resta un paio di cuffie complete, affidabili e con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Quasi da 5 stelle piene.

I was debating airpod pros, or this. I got to compare the two and the Anker Soundcore Liberty 5's came up on top. In Sound quality, noise cancelling, and batterylife! Another perk is if you wear airpods, someone's gonna want to steal them, but these don't look like airpods at all! These earbuds sound and work great, are a fraction of the price compared to apple, and I actually find it easier to switch between devices, apple or not, than using 1st party apple accessories. I also considered getting over ear headphones for when I really need solid noise cancelling, but these earbuds honestly do such a good job, I don't even think I want to buy over ears. This product is great for people who wear glasses because there's always some level of discomfort with over ear headphones, and typically earbuds don't cancel out the noise as well. This product is totally different and is a lifesaver when I need quiet. I also wear these to bed when because my partner snores. Like, sleep apnea level stuff, and this gets me through it.
