Eight hours of listening from the earbuds alone, and up to 32 with the charging case. That is the battery rating Anker gives its Soundcore AeroClip 2, an open-ear, clip-on pair that was due on September 22 at $170.
The buds leave the ear canal open, so a bus horn or a family member calling from the next room still gets through. Anker put its THUS AI audio chip inside, along with 12mm dynamic drivers and LDAC support for higher-quality wireless audio. Colors are Midnight Black, Cloud White and Mist Blue.
A Pro version that takes notes
The more unusual model is the AeroClip 2 Pro, shown at IFA 2026. It can record meetings and both sides of a phone call. Recordings are kept in the Soundcore app, can be moved to other devices, and Anker says they will stay available for a longer period. The company claims 10 hours of playback, or 30 with the case. There was no price or firm release date at the time.
Sleep, noise cancelation and over-ear
Anker brought a wider lineup to the show. The Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro use in-ear PPG sensors to track heart rate and heart rate variability, so no watch or smart ring is needed. The case has an AMOLED screen for alarms, settings and a morning sleep summary. They cost $349 and arrive in November.
The $229 Sleep Earbuds 4 skip the advanced tracking. They generate audio that adapts to snoring in real time, which could help a household where one person sleeps and the other rumbles. They are 20 percent slimmer than the Sleep A30 and arrive in October.
For people who want the world shut out, the Liberty Buds 2 are in-ear earbuds with six-microphone noise cancelation and a Comfort ANC mode meant to ease the pressure feeling strong ANC can cause. They were set for September 22 at $130.
The Space 2 Pro are over-ear headphones with 35mm drivers, HearID 5.0 sound personalization from a hearing test, LDAC and spatial audio. Anker claims up to 60 hours with ANC off and 30 with it on. They launched September 22 at $200 in Midnight Grey, Linen White and Jet Black.
SoundGuys noted that the battery, ANC and AI claims still need real-world testing.
