New Audio Products Unveiled at IFA 2026
Soundcore, a brand under Anker, introduced a new range of audio products at IFA 2026 in Berlin. The new lineup includes the Soundcore Space 2 Pro headphones, the AeroClip 2 and AeroClip 2 Pro open clip earbuds, and the Soundcore Liberty Buds 2. These releases mark an expansion of Soundcore's offerings in the personal audio market.
Integration of Thus Processing Chip
A key feature across all new devices is the integration of Anker's Thus processing chip. This chip, first introduced with the Liberty 5 Pro series earbuds, is designed to enhance call quality by virtually eliminating ambient sounds from the speaker's environment. It also powers improved adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) and real-time voice separation during calls.
Space 2 Pro Headphones Features
The Space 2 Pro headphones are the first over-ear headphones to use the Thus chip. They feature a 6-microphone array for voice isolation and an 8-microphone array for adaptive ANC, which Soundcore states is 1.5 times stronger than the ANC on the Space One Pro headphones across the 20Hz to 2,000Hz frequency range. The Space 2 Pro offers up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled and 60 hours without ANC. These headphones will be available starting September 22 for $200.
Earbuds and Availability
The Soundcore Liberty Buds 2 will also launch on September 22 with a price of $130. These earbuds utilize the Thus chip to improve ANC and call quality. They feature a custom 9.2mm wool paper diaphragm. The AeroClip 2 and AeroClip 2 Pro are open-ear clip-on earbuds, with the base AeroClip 2 model offering an eight-hour battery life.
Customization and Impact
Soundcore's latest version of its HearID listening preference test will be available with these new products, allowing for customized sound profiles. The expansion of the Thus chip across a wider range of Soundcore products aims to bring enhanced call quality and noise cancellation to more users.
