Anker announced a new version of its AeroFit Pro headphones at CES 2026 that give you the option to hear the world around you, or block it out using ANC. The traditional design of open-ear headphones leave your ears wide open, but Anker\u2019s new Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro have an adjustable ear hook design that can be used to reposition the drivers at the entrance of the ear canal, creating a seal that enables both passive and active noise cancellation.<\/p>\n
Two sensors in each earbud are used to recognize how the AeroFit 2 Pro are being worn and to automatically recalibrate the EQ to ensure \u201cconsistent and optimized sound performance across both listening modes.\u201d In earbud mode, the AeroFit 2 Pro uses six microphones and Soundcore\u2019s Adaptive ANC 3.0 system to adjust the noise cancelling performance up to 180 times each second to adapt to changing environmental conditions. But don\u2019t expect the ANC performance to rival the noise cancelling capabilities of flagship earbuds from Sony<\/a> or Bose<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite using 11.8mm drivers that are smaller than the 16.2mm drivers found in the original AeroFit Pro, the new version has a much shorter battery life. The originals offered up to 14 hours of playback boosted to 46 hours with their charging case, but the new AeroFit 2 Pro max out at 7 hours (34 hours with the case) in open-ear mode, or just 5 hours (24 hours with the case) in ANC earbud mode. The AeroFit 2 Pro will be available through Soundcore\u2019s online store<\/a> starting on January 6th, 2026, for $179.99. They\u2019ll launch in a matte black color option first, but will later be available in gloss white, matte purple, and gloss blue.<\/p>\n The new Special version of the Sleep A30 also get a small battery boost to up to 10 hours when using Bluetooth and ANC, or up to 50 when paired with their charging case. Battery life can be further boosted to up to 16 hours on buds alone for extended overnight use, but that\u2019s while listening to on-device noise-masking audio and with ANC turned off. The Sleep A30 Special will also be available through Soundcore\u2019s online store<\/a> starting on January 6th, 2026, for $199.99.<\/p>\n Anker\u2019s new Soundcore headphones are joined by a new palm-size Bluetooth speaker called the Boom Go 3i. It\u2019s got a 4,800mAh battery giving it up to 22 hours of battery life, but that\u2019s while using a power-saving \u201ceco mode\u201d that limits performance and features. Expect that to be much shorter with the volume maxed and the Boom Go 3i\u2019s LED lighting in use. The Boom Go 3i offers up to 15W of sound, which is much louder than JLab\u2019s similarly sized Pop Party speaker<\/a>, and it\u2019s expected to be priced at around $65 to $80 when it launches in March 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anker announced a new version of its AeroFit Pro headphones at CES 2026 that give you the option…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[943,175770,166,1426,3,62800,172,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-389623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-audio","9":"tag-ces","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-headphones","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-speakers","14":"tag-tech","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
