Anker Soundcore Headphones Are Currently on Sale for Almost 25% Off.
Previously, spending less than $100 on noise-canceling headphones meant accepting weak active noise cancellation, short battery life, or limited features. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 make far fewer compromises. They’re now on sale on Amazon for $99.99, down from $129.99—a $30 discount, or roughly 23%—and, according to price tracking data, their lowest price ever.
PCMag gave them an “Excellent” rating and named them the ” Best Budget Headphones ” of 2025, primarily because they offer features typically found in more expensive models. The Liberty 5 earbuds have a glossy finish, while the charging case has a matte texture and a flip-top lid. They stay securely in your ears during long listening sessions without causing any feeling of constriction. They connect via Bluetooth and support AAC, SBC, and LDAC codecs (LDAC provides higher sound quality on supported Android devices), which is remarkable for this price range.
There’s also a Bluetooth Multipoint feature (allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously), allowing you to switch between your laptop and phone without re-pairing. Control is handled by squeezing the stem. A single squeeze plays or pauses audio. A long squeeze toggles between noise-canceling and transparency modes. Most gestures can be customized in the Soundcore app, including equalizer adjustments for fine-tuning the sound.
The main advantage of these headphones for their price is noise cancellation . They effectively block out low-frequency hum from airplanes and engines, and significantly reduce noise levels in cafes. They don’t measure up to top-end models from Apple or Bose , but, as noted in the PCMag review , they perform better than many headphones in this price range.
Battery life is impressive. With active noise cancellation (ANC) enabled, you get up to eight hours of playtime on a single charge, and up to 32 hours with the charging case. With ANC disabled, playtime increases to 12 hours, for a total of 48 hours. A 10-minute charge provides approximately five hours of playback, and the case supports wireless charging . With IP55 water resistance protecting against sweat and rain, the Liberty 5 is a practical choice for workouts, commuting, or traveling at an unbeatable price.
