Anker’s Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro earbuds add a charging case screen

Anker has released its new Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro wireless earbuds that include improved noise canceling and faster charging than their predecessors. The most obvious change, though, is the upgraded case with a screen to show battery life or adjust ANC settings without grabbing your phone.

The Liberty 4 Pro is available now for $129.99, which is $20 cheaper than the $149.99 Soundcore Liberty 4 that debuted in 2022 and $70 cheaper than the previous version, the $169.99 Liberty 3 Pro from 2021.

The screen added to the Liberty 4 Pro's charging case could be a welcome addition for those with battery anxiety, but it's not a new feature for wireless earbuds. JBL added a 1.45-inch touchscreen to the charging case of its Tour Pro 2 in 2023, which offered a lot of functionality, including playback controls, volume adjustments, EQ settings, and even notifications from a connected smartphone. The screen on the Liberty 4 Pro is more limited, with a small touch bar below it that can be swiped to adjust the ANC or turn on transparency mode.

Anker says that on a full charge, the buds alone will run for 10 hours with ANC off or 7.5 hours with it on. That's boosted to 40 hours when paired with the charging case or 30 hours when you factor in ANC. When they're completely dead, a quick five-minute charge will revive the earbuds with four hours of playtime, while the case charges over USB-C or with a wireless charging pad.

The Liberty 4 Pro earbuds pair a 10.5-millimeter bass driver with a smaller 4.6-millimeter titanium-coated tweeter for improved overall sound reproduction, while ANC is powered by six microphones (three on each bud) plus a barometric sensor that takes into account changing air pressure for improved performance on flights. The earbuds support Bluetooth 5.3, multipoint connections, and the SBC, AAC, and LDAC codecs, although the latter can only be used when paired with an Android device.

Spatial audio is supported, with the ability to track the movements of your head, while an IPX5 rating means you can wear the Liberty 4 Pro in the rain or during an especially sweaty workout without issue. They're now available through Anker's online store and Amazon in three color options: glossy black, white, and glossy light blue.
