Anker has announced two new additions to its personal audio lineup, with the Liberty 4 Pro earbuds and the new Space One Pro headphones which utilise a unique folding design to take up less space when carrying them around.

The Liberty 4 Pro looks quite similar to the Liberty 4 earbuds, but there's a new built-in screen that can be viewed through the top cover in certain models to easily check the earbuds' settings and battery life. Unfortunately, only the light blue and black models support this. There's also a new touch bar on the front of the case that allows for quick adjustments to the noise cancellation or transparency levels.
The earbuds use a 10.5mm woofer with a 4.6mm titanium tweeter in a coaxial design, and they support the LDAC codec for high-res audio playback. Battery life is great, with 10 hours in the earbuds and a total of 40 hours with the charging case.
There's a barometric pressure sensor and six microphones that work together to capture and isolate noise for the new Adaptive ANC 3.0 system, with Anker claiming this is SoundCore's most adaptive ANC system to date, with the algorithm adjusting three times per second.

If earbuds aren't your thing, there's also the SoundCore Space One Pro headphones. Ideal for travelling, SoundCore's FlexiCurve Structure allows for the headphone's earcups to swivel and fold in on themselves thanks to the triple joint separation at the earcup rotator base, making for a much more compact package.
Though Soundcore didn't elaborate on the drivers used, it did say that the drivers feature "Triple Composite Diaphragms". The ANC uses a four-stage active noise cancelling system that uses six built-in microphones and the same Adaptive ANC 3.0 algorithm that adjusts the strength of the noise cancellation three times per second. Battery life is fantastic, with 40 hours in the headphones on a single charge with ANC turned on.
Availability and pricing
The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro will be available from 8 November onwards at S$199, although initial availability will be limited to the white and green models. The blue and black models will be available at a later date to be announced. Keep an eye out for it at SoundCore's Shopee store.
