Like all wireless earbuds from Anker around the 100 dollars price point, the Soundcore Liberty 5 has a sleek and sturdy finish.
The Liberty 5 is available in black, white, rose gold, and blue, and always has a bit of a matte-shiny finish on both the case and the earbuds.
The square charging case is a simplified version of the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro, without the display and slider button. It's less slippery, but it's tricky to put the sliding lid open in the dark, as all sides feel the same.
The LED light on the front of the case reveals itself after opening, and shows the remaining battery life with a colour.
The case can recharge the earbuds three times fully. Once it's empty, it can be recharged via USB-C or wirelessly.
