The new in-ear headphones from the Chinese manufacturer Anker are eye-catching: The cases of the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max are equipped with OLED screens. These allow you to control media playback and phone calls. But the really exciting part is invisible. Inside is an AI chip made in Germany. We tested the Max version.

The Pro Max case is equipped with a touch-sensitive 1.78-inch OLED screen. With the somewhat sluggishly responding screen, you can initiate pairing, control media playback, or make settings on the headphones. In contrast to its larger sibling, the non-Max version has a smaller screen; its case also lacks the recording function. Apart from that, the two devices are technically identical.

The bean-shaped in-ears come with five different-sized silicone tips for a proper fit. They are also equipped with a soft rubber lip that provides additional grip in the ear. As a result, they hardly slip even during jerky movements and are suitable for sports thanks to IP55 certification.
