Is this the first wireless headset strong enough to make AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 wary thanks to AI processing directly on the chip?
On June 22, 2026, Anker officially opened for sale in Vietnam two high-end wireless headphones models Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max. The product duo attracted attention when it brought the company's exclusive AI chip THUS to its first consumer device, and Liberty 5 Pro also set a Guinness world record for conversation quality.
This is considered an important step for Anker as it no longer only competes on sound quality or battery life but moves into the AI race right on the device.
The AI THUS chip changes the way headphones process data
On May 22, 2026 in New York, USA, Anker first introduced the AI THUS chip before commercialization on Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max.
Different from the traditional architecture proposed by John von Neumann in 1945, THUS uses the Neural Compute In Memory CIM architecture based on NOR Flash.
The biggest difference is that the AI model is processed right where the data is stored instead of continuously transferring data between memory and processor.
According to Anker
• AI performance increases up to 150 times compared to the previous generation flagship
• The chip area is only about 1/6 of the solutionSRAM
• Significantly reduces power consumption
• Suitable for wearable devices with extremely small spaces
Steven Yang, Founder and CEO of Anker Innovations, said that putting computing power right where the AI model is stored almost completely eliminates data transfer costs and optimizes energy for real-time AI tasks.
Guinness record for conversation quality
In April 2026, Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro received Guinness World Records certification with the title
Highest G-MOS voice quality score for True Wireless Stereo headphones.
To achieve this achievement, Anker equips
Technology Ingredients
Microphone 8 MEMS microphones
Sensor 2 bone conduction sensors
AI Chip THUS processes two signal sources simultaneously
Result Clear speech separation even in extremely noisy environments
This helps calls remain clear even when users are standing at the airport, train station or crowded street.
Liberty 5 Pro Max becomes an AI meeting assistant
The most prominent feature of Liberty 5 Pro Max is the smart charging box.
The device is integrated
• 1.78 inch AMOLED screen
• 512 MB Flash memory
• Up to 12 hours of independent recording
• AI converts speech into text
• Identify each speaker
• Automatically synthesize meeting content
• List the tasks that need to be done
All data is encrypted with AES-256 and transmitted via TLS 1.3 protocol to increase security.
Adaptive ANC 4.0 raises noise cancellation to a new generation
Anker says the Adaptive ANC 4.0 system is capable of analyzing the environment at a speed of up to 384,000 samples.u every second.
Results
Liberty 5 Pro criteria
Real-time noise monitoring Yes
Automatic ANC adjustment Yes

Noise canceling effectiveness is 2 times higher than Liberty 4 Pro according to Anker
Thanks to that, users can wear it for a long time without feeling stuffy or tired.
Personalize audio with AI
Anker continues to integrate
• HearID 5.0 tests hearing and creates individual EQ for each user
• AI Sound Enhancement restores up to approximately 65 percent of audio data lost during Bluetooth compression.
This helps the music retain more detail when listening wirelessly.

GuestThe first customers to buy Liberty 5 Pro Max will also receive the right to use business lounges at Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai airports and a 0 percent installment payment program for 12 months.
This is one of the most notable headset launches in 2026 when AI no longer only appears on phones or computers but has become the core technology right in a wireless headset. If what Anker announced is widely verified, the competition with Apple AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 will enter a completely new phase.
