Soundcore Launches its Most Advanced Earbuds and Headphones in Singapore

Liberty 4 Pro earbuds incorporate an elegant case with a display and touch bar for ANC adjustment; Space One Pro headphones are foldable and noise-cancelling

SINGAPORE, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Soundcore, Anker Innovations' premium audio brand, is bringing two groundbreaking new audio products to Singapore: the elegantly designed Liberty 4 Pro earbuds with Soundcore's most advanced Adaptive ANC system and the space-saving Space One Pro noise-cancelling headphones with a unique foldable design.

Soundcore's latest product launch in Singapore, not only enriches Anker Innovations' regional portfolio but also highlights its technological innovation capabilities. "We deeply appreciate the trust from our customers," said Leon Wu, Head of Anker Innovations Southeast Asia. "We are committed to better understanding the needs of local consumers and will continue to drive more innovations across our brands, including Anker, Soundcore, and Eufy. The mission of Anker Innovations is to ignite possibilities through ultimate innovation."

Liberty 4 Pro: Elegant design with powerful noise reduction

Building on the success of the Liberty Pro line, the Liberty 4 Pro uses six microphones, as well as one barometric pressure sensor, to capture and isolate noise surrounding the user's head and improve the music-listening experience. The elegant earbuds also feature Soundcore's most adaptive ANC system. The Adaptive ANC 3.0 algorithm adjusts to the user's ever-changing environment three times per second, ensuring powerful and seamless noise reduction.

In a first for Soundcore, the Liberty 4 Pro charging case incorporates a built-in screen that highlights the user's current setting. It can be viewed through the closed top cover in two of the four color models: Glossy Light Blue and Glossy Black. The new earbuds also feature a touch bar located on the front of the case. Replacing the traditional pairing button allows users to easily adjust the strength of noise cancellation or audio transparency by simply swiping left or right.

As fans have come to expect from Soundcore, the Liberty 4 Pro offers an impressive high-fidelity experience. Utilizing Soundcore's ACAA acoustic architecture, the system combines a 10.5mm woofer with a 4.6mm titanium tweeter in a coaxial design. Android users can enable LDAC for the highest-quality audio transmission with high-resolution playback.

Ensuring the Liberty 4 Pro earbuds are ready to go at a moment's notice, charging is twice as fast as previous models. Charging the buds in the case for just five minutes provides up to four hours of playtime. When fully charged, the buds offer 10 hours of playtime and a total of 40 hours in the case with ANC turned off and 7.5 hours of playtime and a total of 30 hours in the case with ANC enabled.

Finally, the Liberty 4 Pro is easily customized. To help consumers tailor the sound to their hearing profile, the Liberty 4 Pro is compatible with HearID 4.0 on the Soundcore app. An eight-band customizable EQ is also available, as well as a number of pre-set sound profiles.

The new Liberty 4 Pro comes in Black, White, Green and Light Blue. They will be available on 8^th, November on shopee and at authorized retailers for 199S$,  while Glossy Light Blue and Glossy Black will be announced at a later date by end of November.

Space One Pro: Ingenious foldable design and next-gen noise cancelling

The Space One Pro headphones are ideal for travelers, featuring Soundcore's FlexiCurve™ Structure that allows them to fold to half their size for easy storage. This compact design enhances portability for on-the-go use.

Equipped with a four-stage noise-cancelling system, the Space One Pro uses six microphones to detect and cancel noise in real-time. Its expanded chamber design improves noise absorption, while the Adaptive ANC 3.0 algorithm adjusts cancellation conditions three times per second for an immersive experience.

With a battery life of up to 40 hours with ANC on and 60 hours off, the Space One Pro also supports USB-C fast charging, providing 8 hours of playtime from a 5-minute charge. Available in Jet Black and Cream White for 199S$, these headphones ensure effortless interaction and clear calls in any environment.
