Breaking Update: Here’s a clear explanation of the latest developments related to Breaking News:Anker claims its latest pair of wireless earbuds are the first of their kind– What Just Happened and why it matters right now.
Anker claims its latest pair of premium wireless earbuds, the Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro, are the first-ever “dual-form” earbuds that enable both open-ear listening and active noise cancellation in one design.
Launched at CES 2026, the AeroFit 2 Pro feature five selectable ear hook positions, with levels 1 and 2 typically being for open-ear listening and levels 4 and 5 for ANC. Level 3 is a neutral position that maintains either an open-ear or ANC form, depending on what has been selected.
The Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro come in a choice of four finishes: matte black, gloss white, gloss blue or matte purple. These wireless earbuds will be available to purchase online from today (6th January) and are priced at £180 / $180.
It’s worth noting that other brands, such as Apple’s AirPods 4 with ANC, also combine an ‘open’ earbuds design with active noise-cancelling, although the design differs from Soundcore’s model.
Anker has also added a new Bluetooth portable speaker to its Soundcore audio range, the Boom Go 3i.
This palm-sized portable speaker offers 15W of power and up to 22 hours of battery life. That’s certainly beefier than the similarly tiny JBL Go 4 speaker, which offers 4.2W and 7 hours for £40 / $50, but received five stars for its cohesive, engaging sound.
The Boom Go 3i is also IP68 rated, meaning it’s fully protected against dust and can withstand rain and a brief dunk in water.
Suitable for outdoor use, the Boom Go 3i also features a little strap, so it can be attached to a coat or bag.
This portable speaker is set for launch in the first quarter of 2026. It will be available in four finishes (with final colours to be confirmed) and will cost £60 / $80.
