Anker brings its AI chip to the Soundcore Space 2 Pro headphones

Engadget · 3 hours ago

Anker unveiled a broad lineup of audio products at IFA 2026, all built around its new "Thus" AI chip, which powers improved noise cancellation, voice separation and other smart features across headphones, earbuds and hearing aids. The launch signals Anker's push to embed on-device AI more deeply into everyday audio hardware, spanning everything from premium wireless headphones to health-focused sleep earbuds and hearing aids.

The flagship Soundcore Space 2 Pro headphones use an eight-sensor array for adaptive noise cancellation and offer up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, launching on 22 September for $200. The same day sees the $130 Liberty Buds 2 earbuds and $170 AeroClip 2 open-ear buds arrive, while the AI-heavy AeroClip 2 Pro ($230) can transcribe and summarise calls or meetings, though it has no confirmed release date. Sleep Earbuds 4 and 4 Pro, which track biodata and mask snoring, follow in October and November respectively, and Anker's new RIC Hearing Aids use the Thus chip with four microphones to isolate speech, offering fast charging that adds two hours of use from just five minutes on charge.

  • Anker's new Thus AI chip debuts across a wide IFA 2026 audio lineup.
