Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 Pink

KSh14,000.00 ( Ex VAT )

Key Features and Benefits

Adaptive ANC 3.0 with Voice-Reduction Focus: The noise-cancelling algorithm recalibrates every 0.3 seconds to match shifting environments in real time. Compared to the Liberty 4 NC, voice reduction is twice as effective — making it noticeably quieter on trains, in open-plan offices, and during flights where human chatter is the primary distraction.
Dolby Audio with Three Listening Modes: The Liberty 5 is the first Soundcore earbud to include Dolby Audio, accessible via the Soundcore app. Music Mode widens the soundstage for tracks, Podcast Mode sharpens vocal intelligibility, and Movie Mode adds depth and spatial layering to film audio. Switching modes takes seconds and the difference is immediately audible.
HearID 4.0 Personalised Sound Profiling: The Soundcore app runs a hearing assessment that analyses your sensitivity across frequencies and cross-references your age group and musical preferences. The resulting EQ profile tailors playback to your specific hearing — not a generic preset. For listeners who find standard tuning too bass-heavy or treble-harsh, this feature alone is worth enabling before forming any sound quality judgement.
48-Hour Total Battery with 10-Minute Quick Charge: Each earbud provides up to 12 hours of playback with ANC off, and the charging case stores three additional full charges for 48 hours total (ANC off) or 32 hours with ANC active. Critically, 10 minutes in the case returns 5 hours of use — useful when you’re running late and forgot to charge overnight.
Six-Microphone AI Call System: Two microphones on each earbud, combined with an anti-wind algorithm and AI processing, isolate your voice from background sound during calls. Transparency Mode sounds natural and is suitable for brief face-to-face conversations without removing the earbuds.

Soundcore Liberty 5 True Wireless Earbuds – Pink (A3957Z51)

The Soundcore Liberty 5 in Pink are true wireless ANC earbuds aimed at commuters, travellers, and hybrid workers who want intelligent noise cancellation, cinema-grade Dolby Audio, and a personalised sound profile — all in a lightweight, stem-style design that fits comfortably for hours. At approximately 5g per earbud, they deliver serious audio performance without the bulk of larger alternatives.

⚠️ Buyer Note: No Wall Charger Included

The Liberty 5 ships with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable only. You will need your own USB wall adapter or laptop USB port to charge the case. A Qi-compatible wireless charger also works, though this is sold separately.

ℹ️ LDAC: Android 8.0 and Later Only

LDAC high-resolution audio streaming requires a device running Android 8.0 or later. iOS and older Android devices fall back to AAC or SBC automatically. Additionally, enabling Gaming Mode deactivates both LDAC and Dolby Audio simultaneously — these modes do not run concurrently.

ℹ️ Hardware-Identical Colour Variants

The Pink (A3957Z51) and Blue (A3957Z31) Liberty 5 share identical drivers, ANC hardware, battery cells, and firmware. The only difference between the two is the colourway. All specifications listed below apply equally to both variants.

Quick Start Guide

Use Cases

Daily commuting: The Adaptive ANC 3.0 algorithm responds to the changing noise profile of buses, matatus, and metro trains without manual adjustment. Switching to Airplane Mode in the app adds a stronger baseline suppression that suits enclosed, engine-heavy environments.

Remote work and video calls: The six-microphone system with AI noise filtering keeps your voice clear during calls from noisy home or café environments. Quick Mute via a single stem squeeze is faster than reaching for a keyboard shortcut during meetings.

Long-haul travel: With 48 hours of total battery capacity (ANC off), the Liberty 5 outlasts most international flights without reaching for a charging cable. The wireless charging case is a practical option if your accommodation has a Qi pad.

Casual home listening: Dolby Audio Movie Mode and Music Mode, combined with the HearID 4.0 personalised EQ, make the Liberty 5 a capable home listening option as well as a commuter tool. For users with a calibrated sound profile loaded, standard streaming sounds noticeably more refined.

Mobile gaming: Gaming Mode reduces audio-to-video latency for mobile titles where timing matters. Note that this mode applies a specific tuning biased toward voices and directional sound effects, which may not be ideal for music playback.

Considerations Before Buying

No wall charger in the box: Budget for one if you don’t already own a USB-A or USB-C adapter.
LDAC is Android-exclusive: iOS users will default to AAC. The Liberty 5 still sounds excellent over AAC, but maximum resolution streaming is unavailable on Apple devices.
Gaming Mode disables LDAC and Dolby Audio: These three modes are mutually exclusive. Choose the mode that matches your primary use case at any given time.
No IP rating on the charging case: The IP55 rating covers the earbuds only. The case should not be exposed to rain or submerged.
Bass tuning is prominent out of the box: The default sound profile is bass-forward. The HearID 4.0 profiling and manual EQ in the Soundcore app can balance this significantly for listeners who prefer a flatter response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Soundcore Liberty 5 work with iPhones? Yes. The Liberty 5 pairs with iOS devices over Bluetooth 5.4 and the Soundcore app is available on the App Store. However, LDAC high-resolution streaming is unavailable on iOS — the earbuds will use AAC instead.

Can the Liberty 5 connect to two devices at the same time? Yes. Dual Connections (multipoint) is enabled by default. To connect a second device while already paired to one, squeeze both stems for 3 seconds until you hear the pairing prompt, then pair the second device from its Bluetooth menu.

Is the Pink colourway different from the Blue version in any way other than colour? No. The Pink (A3957Z51) and Blue (A3957Z31) are hardware-identical. The same drivers, ANC system, battery, and firmware run inside both. Only the external colour finish differs.

What does ANC Level 1 vs Level 5 mean in practice? Level 1 is the lightest noise cancellation — suitable for quiet offices where you want some ambient awareness. Level 5 is maximum suppression, best for loud transport or open-plan environments. Higher levels reduce playtime slightly compared to lower settings.

Does wireless charging require a separate accessory? Yes. A Qi-compatible wireless charging pad is required and is not included in the box. The case charges via USB-C cable in approximately 3 hours, or via Qi pad in approximately 4 hours.

How does Gaming Mode affect audio quality? Gaming Mode reduces Bluetooth latency for better audio-to-video sync during mobile games. However, it applies a voice- and effect-biased tuning that deactivates LDAC and Dolby Audio. It is not recommended for music or film listening.
