Frequency response notes (measured)
SoundGuys found bass and treble emphasis with the default tuning. Acoustic EQ reduced bass somewhat, while Dolby processing changed response and perceived width. Exact firmware and app version were not published for the review sample.9Measurementsoundguys.com/anker-soundcore-liberty-5-review-137445Read 8 October 2026Reviewer reports default bass and high-frequency emphasis, with additional response changes from Acoustic EQ and Dolby processing. No unread chart coordinates, sound-quality scores or percentage loudness reduction are converted into numerical dB fields.

Charging guidance
The guide estimates up to 60 minutes for earbuds and three hours for the charging case with earbuds by USB-C, or four hours wirelessly. The FAQ separately estimates about 50 minutes for earbuds, two hours for an empty case by cable, 2.5 hours with earbuds, and 3.5 hours for an empty case wirelessly. These are maker estimates with different component scopes and unspecified test details. Input is 5 V 0.8 A. Dry the earbuds and USB-C port before charging. Ten minutes of earbud charging in the case claims up to five hours of playback, with ANC, codec and Dolby settings unspecified. The FAQ also claims four hours with Dual Connections plus LDAC/Dolby Sound, without specifying ANC or resolving the slash conditions.3Owner's manualsalesforce-knowledge-download.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/000025116/en_US/000025116.pdfRead 8 October 2026Guide input is 5 V 0.8 A. Its separate applicable Anker A2337 adapter example is rated up to 30 W and does not establish device charging wattage or a supplied adapter.

Gestures
Single squeeze: play/pause or answer a call according to the current guide, Double squeeze right: next track, Double squeeze left: previous track, Hold either stem for two seconds: reject/end a call or switch ANC/Transparency, Single squeeze during calls: mute/unmute after enabling the control if needed, Single squeeze in supported phone camera: Remote Photo Snap3Owner's manualsalesforce-knowledge-download.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/000025116/en_US/000025116.pdfRead 8 October 2026Current guide controls distinguish playback and call contexts. Guide says a single squeeze answers calls, while the general FAQ says double-press. The guide gesture is retained with the disagreement explicit, rather than claiming both defaults.
