Anker has launched the AeroClip 2, a new open-ear clip-on earbud featuring AI-powered voice isolation, aiming to improve call quality while maintaining awareness of the surrounding environment. The device combines innovative design with advanced audio features, including dual-device connectivity and MFi certification, setting a new standard for all-day wearable audio.
Anker has expanded its Soundcore range with the AeroClip 2, an open-ear, clip-on pair of earbuds that keeps the ear canal clear while aiming to improve call quality. The company says the new model uses an AI audio chip to isolate the wearer’s voice and cut room noise, while the open design leaves users able to hear traffic, conversations and other ambient sounds.
The hardware centres on a 12mm dual-magnetic driver, with support for LDAC, AAC and SBC playback, according to Gizmochina and Notebookcheck. The earbuds also use a high-elasticity silicone C-bridge that Anker says is intended to hold securely without pressure, and the same reports say the structure is rated to withstand more than 10,000 bends. The company is also positioning the model as a practical all-day wearable, with dual-device connectivity and Apple MFi certification among the listed features.
TechRadar reported that the AeroClip 2 was unveiled at IFA 2026 alongside several other Soundcore products, with a launch date set for 22 September and pricing at $169.99 in the US and £159.99 in the UK. Notebookcheck placed the euro price at €179.99, reflecting the usual regional variation in audio pricing. The same coverage said a higher-end AeroClip 2 Pro is also planned, with extra recording and note-taking functions, although that version is not due until January 2027.
Early impressions of the AeroClip line suggest Anker is refining an area where open-ear audio often struggles: balancing awareness, comfort and usable sound. Reviews of the earlier AeroClip model from Macworld and HeadphoneCheck praised its fit, sound quality and call performance, while noting that open-ear designs inevitably trade away some isolation and, in some cases, battery endurance. AeroClip 2 appears to be Anker’s attempt to keep those strengths while reducing one of the most common weak points for this category: voice clarity on calls.
