Anker appears to be preparing another expansion of its Soundcore audio lineup, with leaks pointing to two upcoming TWS earbuds: the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max. The details come from known tipster AnkerInsider, who shared early information about the models that could soon sit above the Liberty 5 from last year.

Both earbuds reportedly build on the standard Soundcore Liberty 5, which currently sells for around $100. One of the more notable upgrades is a new AI-focused chip called Anker Thus, a compute-in-memory processor designed to enable features like AI audio upscaling that aims to improve clarity and detail in music playback.

The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro (model D1203) appears to focus on improved everyday listening. It’s said to feature Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation 4.0, an upgrade over the ANC 3.0 system found in the regular Liberty 5. Other highlights reportedly include Dolby Atmos spatial audio, Bluetooth 6.1 with multipoint connectivity, and IP55 dust and water resistance.

One of the more unusual additions is the charging case with a built-in touchscreen. According to the leak, users will be able to control playback, switch ANC modes, check battery levels, and manage connected devices directly from the case. Battery life is listed at 6.5 hours with ANC enabled (up to 28 hours total with the case) or 10 hours without ANC for a combined 45 hours. Charging options include USB-C, fast charging, and wireless charging. The Liberty 5 Pro is expected to launch at $170 in Black and White.

The Liberty 5 Pro Max (model D1204) reportedly keeps most of those features but adds a few extra tricks. Its charging case doubles as a portable voice recorder, using a system that could include up to eight microphones for capturing audio. The earbuds may also support voiceprint recognition, allowing the case to identify the owner’s voice.

Pricing for the Pro Max is expected to land around $230, with color options listed as Black and Gold.
