Soundcore Liberty 5: Revolutionizing Voice-Canceling with Adaptive ANC 3.0 and Dolby Audio
Top 3 Global Wireless Audio Brand[1] Unveils Next-Gen Travel-Ready Earbuds
SINGAPORE, May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Soundcore, the premium audio brand under Anker Innovations and ranked third globally in wireless headphone shipments, today launched its groundbreaking product, the Liberty 5 in Singapore. Positioned as its 'Best Voice Noise Canceling Earbuds,' this new model combines state-of-the-art Adaptive ANC 3.0 and Dolby audio, offering an immersive listening experience. The slogan 'Liberty On, Noise Off' encapsulates its goal of providing a quiet journey for modern travelers.
From Startup to Global Dominance in 8 YearsSince its establishment in 2017, Soundcore has disrupted a market long dominated by decades-old legacy brands. In just eight years, it has ascended to the top 3 globally.
'Soundcore's top 3 global position is a testament to Anker Innovations' mission: Ignite possibilities through ultimate innovation,' said Leon Wu, General Manager of Southeast Asia at Anker Innovations.' True leadership means putting users first. Through strategic collaboration across our ecosystem—from Anker Innovations' charging breakthroughs to eufy's smart home intelligence—we create technology solutions that adapt to life, not the other way around.'
After the Liberty 4 series received a positive response from Southeast Asian consumers, soundcore launched the Liberty 5, a newly upgraded product that offers optimized audio clarity for commutes and travels.
Enhanced Noise Reduction: Twice the Human Voice Cancellation PowerThe Liberty 5's Adaptive ANC 3.0 algorithm combines a unique acoustic chamber design and advanced processing to deliver twice the voice suppression power of previous models[2]. By targeting the 300Hz–3kHz vocal frequency range, where speech energy is most concentrated, the system selectively reduces voice frequencies while scanning the environment 180 times per minute for real-time adjustments[3]. This ensures a quiet journey on trains and subways. During phone calls, all six microphones are activated to capture clear voice input while filtering out background noise.
Cinematic Sound for Every AdventureThe Liberty 5 delivers a theater-like audio experience, powered by Dolby Audio technology. Users can customize their listening environments through the Soundcore app, choosing from three pre-tuned modes: Music, Movie, and Podcast, to optimize sound profiles according to the content type.
The earbuds are equipped with a new 9.2mm wool-paper composite driver that minimizes distortion, achieving three times the clarity in mid and high frequencies compared to conventional true wireless systems[4]. Supported by LDAC high-resolution audio (with triple the bitrate of standard codecs) and Hi-Res Wireless Certification, it preserves studio-quality details across all music genres.
Dual bass tube technology enhances low-end resonance by optimizing airflow, producing richer and more natural bass that seamlessly blends with the soundstage.
Designed for Effortless TravelThe Liberty 5's travel-oriented design features a slimmer, IP55-rated body, ensuring durability in humid climates. With just a ten-minute charge in the case, the earbuds can provide up to five hours of playtime, ensuring they are always ready to go. A quick 10-minute charge provides up to 5 hours of playtime, ensuring you're always ready on the go. The earbuds offer 12 hours of playtime with ANC off and 8 hours with ANC on, while the fully charged case and earbuds deliver a total of 48 hours (ANC off) or 32 hours (ANC on) of battery life.
The Liberty 5 supports Bluetooth 5.4 for stable 15-meter connectivity and Google Fast Pair, enabling instant device pairing via a half-screen pop-up notification[5]. Its SnapCharge case also offers the convenience of wireless charging.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe new Liberty 5 comes in five colors: Black, White, Blue, Apricot, and Champagne Gold. It will be available starting today on Shopee, Lazada, and Tiktok, and from select retailers at SGD 179. Also, from 25th May to 22th June, the Liberty 5 has a special launch price of SGD 159.

Philippines eyes India, Thailand rice to cut Vietnam reliance
A man rests on sacks of rice along a street in Manila on May 9, 2024. Vietnam supplies 90 per cent of the Philippines' rice imports - AFP MANILA: The Philippines, the world's top rice importer, plans to look beyond its dominant supplier, Vietnam, to ensure steady supplies and competitive prices at home. The agriculture department is in talks with private importers on purchases from producers like India, Pakistan, Cambodia and Myanmar, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel said in an interview on Friday (May 30). There may also be a "deal' with Indonesia and Thailand, he added. "We are trying to diversify sources to keep a level playing field,' Laurel said. Vietnam is "the most reliable' supplier, but the fact that its shipments account for 90 per cent of the Philippines' rice imports could be a "problem' in case of supply shocks, he said. The price of all rice varieties sold by Vietnam rose to a three-month high in April because of an "uptick in buying interest from domestic and offshore traders,' according to data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. Affordable prices of the staple grain are central to the agenda of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who also helmed the agriculture department before appointing Laurel in November 2023. His government slashed import tariffs from 35 per cent to 15 per cent last year and declared a food security emergency in February to tame runaway prices. That's helped slow overall inflation to its lowest level since 2019, giving the central bank room to further cut interest rates. Laurel expects this year's rice imports will be lower than in 2024 and won't exceed 4.5 million tonnes. His outlook compares with a forecast from the US Department of Agriculture that sees the Southeast Asian nation importing 5.4 million tonnes in 2025. Domestically, the country is on track to produce a record of 20.46 million tonnes in rough rice output this year, the secretary said. Meanwhile, the Philippines is facing a 17 per cent duty on its goods to the US, the lowest rate in South-East Asia - after Singapore - under President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff agenda. Laurel said this presents an opportunity as it could make Filipino shipments to the US, particularly seafood products like tilapia and shrimp, more competitive than those of its neighbors. "If our competitors are slapped with higher tariffs than us, it's fine,' he said. - Bloomberg

China and Thailand boost strategic ties with new military cooperation plans
Senior military officials from China and Thailand reached an 'important consensus' on strategic cooperation when they met on Thursday, according to the defence ministry in Beijing. The meeting was held between China's chief of joint staff, Liu Zhenli, and Thailand's top defence official, Songwit Noonpackdee, during his visit to the Chinese capital. The two military leaders 'reached an important consensus on strengthening strategic communication and deepening cooperation in joint exercises and training', according to a statement on Thursday. They also 'exchanged views on issues of common concern, such as relations between the two countries and their militaries and the international and regional situation'. Liu is a member of the Central Military Commission, the highest decision-making body of the People's Liberation Army. In a separate meeting with Songwit, Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun said ties between the two countries had endured 'the change of winds and clouds'. Songwit replied that the Thai side was willing to closely coordinate with China in multilateral affairs and 'jointly safeguard' the security and stability of the region, according to the Chinese defence ministry. The high-level meetings followed a series of diplomatic activities between China and the Southeast Asian country, which is also a traditional US ally in the region. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met his Thai counterpart last month and said Thailand was a high priority for Chinese diplomacy in the region. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra also met in February. The two countries have also deepened defence cooperation in the past decade, especially since the 2014 military coup in Thailand, with China replacing the US to become Thailand's top arms supplier. Their joint exercises have appeared to include more comprehensive combat elements since last year, as highlighted by their joint air drill, 'Falcon Strike 2024'. Most recently, the navies of the two countries concluded an exercise last month that focused on counterterrorism tactics and anti-submarine warfare. While joint exercises and arms sales between the US and Thailand have been scaled back, Washington has ramped up its strategic and defence dialogue with Bangkok in the past few years as Beijing's influence has expanded in the region. Thailand has imported a range of weapon systems from China, from armoured vehicles to air-defence systems. The two countries signed a deal in 2017 for Thailand to buy the first of three Yuan-class submarines from China for 13.5 billion baht (US$412 million). Bangkok has paid an instalment of 7 billion baht, but production has been stalled since 2022 due to China's inability to acquire a German engine because of Berlin's defence export limits. According to news site Khaosod English, Thai Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said on Tuesday that he would decide by the end of this month whether to accept the submarine with Chinese engines or cancel the contract and lose '80 per cent of the costs of the submarines which has already been paid'. Citing Wechayachai, the Thai news site also reported that the Thai government had been asked several times by the Chinese ambassador to Bangkok about when it would proceed with the remaining payment for the purchase of the Chinese-made submarines. Bangkok had previously asked Berlin to reconsider the embargo of its submarine engine, but Germany has rejected the request.

South Korea exports fall as tariffs hit US, China shipments
SEOUL: South Korea's exports fell in May for the first time in four months, as shipments to the United States and China dropped on global trade conflict triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. Exports from Asia's fourth-largest economy, an early bellwether for global trade, declined 1.3% from the same month last year to $57.27 billion, government data showed on Sunday. 'Declines in exports to both the United States and China, the two biggest markets, suggest U.S. tariff measures are having an impact on the global economy as well as our exports,' said South Korean Industry and Trade Minister Ahn Duk-geun. The first decline since January followed rises as strong chip sales had offset downward pressure from Trump's tariff threats. The May decline, however, was milder than the 2.7% fall forecast in a Reuters poll of economists. On a working-day adjusted basis, exports in fact rose 1.0%. China and the United States agreed in mid-May to a 90-day truce, significantly unwinding their tariffs on each other, after months of back-and-forth retaliatory measures, but Trump on Friday accused Beijing of violating the agreement and threatened to take tougher action. He also said he would double global tariffs on steel and aluminium to 50%. Trump's 'reciprocal tariffs', including 25% duties on South Korea, are on a 90-day pause for negotiations. South Korea's May shipments to the United States fell 8.1% and those to China fell 8.4%. Exports to the European Union rose 4.0%, those to Southeast Asian countries fell 1.3%, while those to Taiwan surged 49.6%. Exports of semiconductors jumped 21.2%, thanks to robust demand for advanced memory chips, but car exports fell 4.4% due to U.S. tariffs and production at Hyundai Motor's new factory in the U.S. state of Georgia, according to the ministry. South Korea's imports fell 5.3% to $50.33 billion, bringing the monthly trade balance to a surplus of $6.94 billion, the biggest since June 2024. (Reporting by Jihoon Lee; Editing by William
