BELLEVUE, WA, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Anker Soundcore, the audio and video division of Anker Innovations, today unveiled its latest product lineup at IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany, with two themes covering nine new products. The proprietary THUS™ AI chip now powers ultra-clear calls and adaptive noise control across four new models spanning open-ear, over-ear and in-ear form factors. Additionally, Anker will enter the OTC hearing aid market with a new product expected later this year, utilizing the THUS AI audio chip. An expanded four-product sleep portfolio introduces two new sleep earbuds and, for the first time, two dedicated sleep speakers.

ANKER SOUNDCORE ADDS THUS AI CHIP FEATURE ACROSS MULTIPLE FORM FACTORS
Anker Soundcore is bringing its THUS AI chip to four new products, each tuned to a specific listening scenario with AI-driven call clarity and noise control.

AeroClip 2 Pro: Open-Ear AI Note-Taker Earbuds
Now adding Anker’s THUS AI audio chip, the AeroClip 2 Pro become the first open earclip earbuds that offer users a powerful, built-in AI note-taking feature, ideal for the modern executive. With one-tap recording, the AeroClip 2 Pro captures conversations during in-person and online meetings, as well as adding the ability to record both sides of a conversation during a phone call.

Once completed, using the Soundcore App, users can easily and securely transfer recordings onto a phone or tablet, then access an AI LLM to create a complete summary of the meeting using multiple templates. Whether it’s the next day or six months later, the AeroClip 2 Pro also allows users to easily search for items from a past meeting and quickly retrieve that information.

Like the Liberty 5 Pro, the THUS AI audio chip delivers ultra-clear calls in noisy settings, pairing with a six-sensor array that includes four high-SNR microphones and two bone-conduction sensors to isolate speech from background noise.

With their Ergo-Fit design and an ear clip form-factor, the AeroClip 2 Pro offer an open-ear design, that makes for a comfortable fit all day long without blocking outside audio.

The AeroClip 2 Pro features an open acoustic architecture with an 11mm dual-diaphragm driver and LDAC support for Hi-Res audio. Additionally, they will offer 10 hours of playback (at 50% volume), with 30 hours total in the charging case. Dropping the ear clips into the case for 10 minutes will provide up to three hours of additional playback.

The AeroClip 2 Pro will be available in multiple colors in the US, UK and EU and officially launch in the coming months. Final pricing and launch timing will be shared in the near future.

AeroClip 2: Open-Ear Earbuds with Clear Calls, Secure Fit and AI Translation
Also joining the AeroClip line are the second-generation, AeroClip 2 open-ear, clip earbuds which also utilize Anker’s THUS AI chip to help isolate a user’s voice during phone calls, ensuring the clearest calls in this form factor.

Like the AeroClip 2 Pro, the AeroClip 2 will offer users an Ergo-Fit design in an ear clip form factor for all-day comfort. In order to ensure the proper fit and tension on a user’s ear, the AeroClip 2 was tested against 2,000 ear profiles.

Using a 12mm dynamic driver with LDAC in an ear clip design, and with 8 hours of playtime and 32 hours in the case, this device delivers a comfortable, all-day listening experience.

Additionally, the AeroClip 2 offers real-time AI translation with Apple MFi certification, enabling one-tap access on iOS.
The AeroClip 2 are slated to be available in multiple colors including Midnight Black, Red, Cloud White and Mist Blue at launch, with other colors being announced at a later date. They will be available for $169.99 in the US and £159.99 in the UK and €179.99 in Germany and throughout the EU on Amazon.com and Soundcore.com starting during the week of September 22.

Space 2 Pro: Over-Ear Noise-Cancelling Headphones
For users that prefer over-ear headphones, the Space 2 Pro build on the success of the Space One Pro with an elegant over-ear design, while adding Anker’s THUS AI chip with significantly improved ANC performance, including offering the clearest calls for the other party. Combined with the THUS chip, the Space 2 Pro includes a six-microphone array that isolates a user’s voice from complex background noises up to 100dB. These include walking by a construction site with a jackhammer, a passing car horn or emergency vehicle siren, as well as a bar or noisy office environment.

The same chip powers the headphone’s eight-microphone adaptive ANC with 384 kHz processing to target office noise such as chatter, keyboard clatter and air-conditioning hum.

A 35mm rigid-flex dual-material diaphragm, paired with HearID 5.0 personalized calibration, and LDAC compatibility delivers Hi-Res audio, allowing for full, rich deep bass, effortless highs, while isolating vocals to shine.

The Space 2 Pro offer 60 hours of playback (at 50% volume) with ANC turned off or 30 hours with ANC turned on, as well as plush, comfortable memory foam ear cups for multiple days of all-day usage. They also feature Bluetooth 6.1, two-device multipoint connectivity and spatial audio.

The Space 2 Pro is slated to be available in three colors (Midnight grey, Linen White and Jet Black) for $199.99 in the US on Amazon.com and Soundcore.com beginning on September 22. For more information and to signup for updates on the launch, please visit, https://www.soundcore.com/best-clear-calls-earbuds-and-headphones. Additionally, UK and EU pricing and availability will be announced in the near future.

Liberty Buds 2: In-Ear Noise-Cancelling Earbuds
The final product in the lineup are the new Anker Soundcore Liberty Buds 2 which combine Anker’s THUS AI chip with an eight-sensor solution — including two voice-processing units — for whisper-clear calls in any environment. A six-microphone ANC system delivers double the noise reduction of previous models, while a Comfort ANC mode is designed to help users avoid ear pressure discomfort. The Liberty Buds 2 have been certified by TÜV for design and comfort.

The Liberty Buds 2 are slated to be available in three colors (including Misty Purple, Glossy Black and Silver White for $129.99 in the US, £129.99 in the UK and 149.99€ in Germany and the EU on Amazon.com and Soundcore.com beginning on September 22.

Entering OTC Hearing Aid Market
Anker Soundcore will introduce a new pair of OTC hearing aids, launching later this year, and powered by Anker’s THUS AI chip. This device is engineered to solve the biggest frustration among hearing aid users; understanding voices in noisy places, including crowded restaurants, at family gatherings, and other social events.

While traditional hearing aids often amplify all sound around a user, Anker’s hearing aids take a different approach. Powered by the THUS AI chip running 7.2 billion operations per second, and combined with four beam-forming microphones, the hearing aids pinpoint the voice that matters while background noise quietly fades away.

Utilizing Anker’s knowledge and experience in charging, the upcoming model is expected to have 12 hours of usage with 36 hours total in the charging case. Dropping the hearing aids into the case will also allow for fast charging. Five minutes of charging will create two additional hours of usage, the fastest in the industry.

Additional details, including pricing and launch timing, will be announced in the coming months.

Anker Soundcore Expands its Sleep Portfolio with Four New Models

Building on its sleep-focused audio line, Anker Soundcore is introducing two new sleep earbuds and for the first time, two dedicated sleep speakers.

Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro: Sleep Earbuds with Sleep Monitoring
Unlike most sleep trackers on the market that simply tell users about their sleep patterns when they wake up, the Sleep 4 Pro uses high-frequency in-ear PPG monitoring to fully understand a user’s sleep patterns throughout the night. This includes tracking heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) to assess the stages of relaxation and sleep. To help facilitate relaxation into sleep, the Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro will play adaptive soothing audio tracks using Soundcore’s BioSync feature.

Thanks to its newly redesigned wireless charging case with built-in AMOLED display screen, the Sleep 4 Pro uses noise reduction, specifically engineered for sleep, as well as adaptive snore masking, to help minimize disruptive noises. Using the built-in display, users can manage audio and sleep settings, set alarms as well as view a sleep summary report each morning.

With a compact and slim design, the Sleep 4 Pro offers users an ideal solution for a pain-free night of peaceful sleep, no matter the sleeping position.

The Sleep 4 Pro will be available in two colors (Lunar White and Mist Blue) for $349 in the US on Amazon.com and Soundcore.com in November. Pricing and availability in the UK and in Germany and the EU will be announced in the coming weeks. For consumers that would like to sign-up to receive additional information, please visit: https://www.soundcore.com/sleep-earbuds.

Sleep Earbuds 4: Sleep Earbuds with Noise Reduction & Snore Masking
The second new model of sleep earbuds, Sleep 4 builds on the success of the Sleep A30 with enhanced noise reduction engineered for sleep and an AI-generated dynamic snore masking system that adapts audio to real-time snoring patterns.
Engineered from a database of more than 10,000 samples of users’ ears, the Sleep 4 earbuds’ compact design is 20 percent slimmer than the Sleep A30, helping to avoid pressure for side sleepers.

The Sleep 4 will be available in three colors (Moonlit White and Haze Blue at time of launch, with Bare Pink slated to be available at a later date) for $229 in the US and £229 in the UK and 229€ in Germany and the EU on Amazon and Soundcore’s website, beginning in October.

SleepLab Pro: Radar-Sensing Sleep Speaker
The new Anker Soundcore SleepLab Pro Bedside Sleep System replaces many of the functions of sleep earbuds, watches or rings, without the need to wear a device. Utilizing 60 GHz mm Wave radar, the SleepLab Pro can sense a user’s sleep cycle without direct body contact, while providing a personalized “sleep soundtrack” as well as lighting cues to help users sleep better.

Offering calming breathing exercises, acoustic beats and a daily sleep report, combined with spatial audio from dual drivers and multi-color ambient lighting designed for the bedroom, with a science-backed sunrise simulation for a gradual wake-up, the SleepLap Pro is ideal for anyone that wants to sleep better.

SleepLab: Sleep Speaker with Spatial Sound and Light
Finally, the SleepLab bedside speaker simplifies the experience, allowing users to stream music, podcasts and personal audio as well as more than 180 science-backed white-noise and breathing sounds in a phone-free, one-tap design. The SleepLab uses dual speakers to deliver spatial sound while soft, warm multi-color lighting syncs to the audio, and a sunrise simulation with a crescendo alarm and battery backup helps users wake-up in a gentle, yet reliable manner.

Launch timing and pricing for both the SleepLab and SleepLab Pro will be shared at a later date. For more information, please visit: https://www.soundcore.com/sleeplab-sleep-sound-machine
