What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Battery figures are mode-dependent: the feature text claims up to 12 hours per charge and 48 hours with the case in normal mode, versus 8 and 32 hours with ANC on. The details field separately lists 32 hours without specifying a mode. Bluetooth 5.0 and a separate “Bluetooth support?” field marked “No” are inconsistent, and frequency response is listed as both 40000 Hz and 20Hz - 20,000Hz. Check the selected listing for clarification. Water resistance is stated without an IP rating in the supplied details.

- The customer summary includes complaints about battery life, noise cancellation and reliability.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the battery last?
The listing claims up to 12 hours per charge and 48 hours with the case in normal mode, or 8 hours per charge and 32 hours total with ANC on. A separate details field lists 32 hours without a mode, so treat runtime as mode-dependent.
Do these earbuds have active noise cancellation?
Yes. Active noise cancellation is listed, and the feature text describes adaptive ANC that adjusts to changes in the surroundings.
What is included in the box?
The listed contents are a charging case, USB-C cable, user manual, six sizes of ear tips from XXS to XL, with size M pre-installed, and the Liberty 5 earbuds.
Are they suitable for calls?
The listing describes six microphones, AI noise cancellation and a wind-resistant algorithm for calls. Customer feedback on reliability and other aspects is mixed, so the listed call features are not a guarantee of results.
