Anker is entering the hearing-aid market, using its Thus AI chip for intelligent noise cancellation in a new product category that extends the company’s Soundcore audio technology beyond conventional headphones. The company also promises long battery life and fast charging, but has not yet disclosed full technical specifications or availability for its hearing aids.
The Thus AI processor is also central to several Soundcore products unveiled at IFA 2026. Soundcore AeroClip 2 open-ear earbuds use 12 mm drivers, support LDAC and offer up to 32 hours of total battery life with their charging case. They are scheduled to launch on September 22 at €179.99. The AeroClip 2 Pro adds touch-controlled audio recording and note creation, with space for up to eight hours of recordings stored locally.
Also due on September 22, the €199.99 Soundcore Space 2 Pro are over-ear headphones with eight microphones and adaptive active noise cancellation. Soundcore says the system continuously analyzes its surroundings at up to 384 kHz to adjust noise reduction. The headphones pair 35 mm rigid-flex drivers with claimed battery life of 30 hours with ANC enabled or 60 hours without it.
Anker is bringing Thus AI to the new mid-range Soundcore Liberty Buds 2 as well, though it has not provided further specifications for that model.
Sleep is another focus of the expanded Soundcore range. The €249.99 Sleep Earbuds 4 are planned for October, with improved reduction of noise in the 200–800 Hz range. They can detect snoring and mask it with adapted sounds, while the charging case monitors the surrounding environment and can automatically enable Transparency mode when it detects an event such as a fire alarm.
Looking further ahead, Anker plans to launch SleepLab Pro in early 2027. The bedside device uses 60 GHz radar for contactless tracking of sleep stages, breathing, heart rate and body movement, generating reports from that data and adapting light- and sound-based therapies. A less expensive SleepLab model is also planned without the radar system, leaving pricing and broader availability as the next details to be confirmed.
