Anker Soundcore’s Liberty 5 Pro Max earphones have this key futuristic feature

As well as a 1.78in display on their case, Soundcore’s latest earbuds have an AI-powered notetaker on board, meaning they can double up to transcribe meetings or events and generate summaries and action points from them. Anker says that these recordings are stored locally, protected by encryption.

The $230/£200 Liberty 5 Pro Max is powered by Anker’s own VibeOS based around a new chip called Thus AI, again Anker-designed.

These earphones are also joined by the slightly lower-priced Liberty 5 Pro costing $170/£150 with a smaller display and without the AI feature. Both sets of earphones boast a new Whisper-Clear Calls feature with a 10 microphone array. Anker has somehow scooped up a Guinness World Record for the “World’s Clearest Earbuds for Calls” to boot, although I do wonder what the criteria were for this. These buds also support Dolby Atmos spatial audio with head tracking, too.

As part of its Anker Day launch event, the company also introduced a bunch of other products as well. Standouts included the Video Doorbell S4, priced from $250. The new ringer offers 3K resolution with a 180 degree panoramic view, plus you can choose to have a battery-powered or wired one.

The company has also introduced a 2kWh home backup power station that can keep a fridge powered for 35 hours. The Solix S2000 costs $1199 and is super quiet too at 30db.

Therr’s also the EufyMake UV Printer E1 that the company is calling “the world’s first personal 3D-texture UV printer”, bringing 3D-textured and full-colour customisation on materials such as metal, wood and acrylic to home 3D printing so you can print on items like bott, costing $2299/£2249.
