BREAKING: Soundcore has just announced a groundbreaking innovation in wireless audio at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The company unveiled the AeroFit 2 Pro, the first wireless earbuds that seamlessly switch between open-ear audio and active noise cancellation (ANC) modes, addressing a major issue for users who want both comfort and noise isolation.
This exciting development comes as many consumers struggle with the trade-offs between the comfort and environmental awareness of open earbuds and the immersive experience offered by noise-canceling technology. Soundcore is changing the game with its innovative design, allowing users to toggle between these features effortlessly.
Key to the AeroFit 2 Pro’s versatility is a unique five-level adjustable ear hook, enabling wearers to position the earbuds for optimal audio experience, whether they prefer an open design or a sealed fit for ANC. This adaptability caters to various environments, making these earbuds suitable for everything from commuting to outdoor activities.
Furthermore, the AeroFit 2 Pro is equipped with smart technology that automatically detects the mode in use and adjusts the equalizer settings accordingly, enhancing the listening experience without manual intervention.
While the dual-functionality is impressive, some questions remain. Soundcore describes the ANC mode as “semi-in-ear” with a “shallower” fit, which may not provide the same level of noise isolation as traditional models. However, if Soundcore can deliver comparable noise cancellation, it could redefine user expectations.
On the technical side, the AeroFit 2 Pro features an 11.8mm dynamic driver for superior sound quality, along with spatial audio capabilities and LDAC support for high-resolution audio streaming over Bluetooth.
The AeroFit 2 Pro is set to launch on January 6 for a retail price of $179.99, available initially in black, with additional colors—matte purple, gloss white, and gloss blue—expected to roll out soon after.
