Anker is about to drop its smartest earbuds yet. The new Soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant wireless earbuds are now listed for pre-order in parts of Europe, with a confirmed launch date of September 15. They keep the open-ear design of their predecessor but introduce a range of AI-powered features, including real-time translations and voice-controlled functionality.
Soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant brings real-time translation support
The standout feature here is live voice translation. Just like the original AeroFit 2, the new model supports translation in up to 100 languages. This works both ways: you speak and the app plays a translated version aloud, or someone else speaks and the earbuds feed you the translation directly. Whether you’re traveling or meeting someone across a language barrier, it’s a practical tool that now comes baked into your audio gear.
Beyond translation, the AI assistant can handle simple voice commands like adjusting volume, skipping tracks, or even answering general questions. A voice search function is also listed, allowing hands-free information access without touching your phone.
AeroFit 2 AI Assistant, familiar fit, boosted sound
While the design stays close to the original AeroFit 2, the AI version adds a few key refinements under the hood. The earbuds include:
- Adjustable ear hooks for a stable, open fit
- 20 x 11.5 mm racetrack diaphragm
- Bass Turbo acoustic tech
- Hi-Res Audio and LDAC codec support
These upgrades point toward deeper bass and wider audio detail, making the buds suitable for casual listeners and audiophiles alike.
European release date and pricing confirmed
Anker plans to release the Soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant in Europe on September 15, with the green model available now for pre-order at €149.99. Listings have already gone live on Amazon in countries like Spain and Germany.
So far, there’s no word on when or if the AI-enhanced earbuds will launch in the US. Pricing outside Europe remains unknown.
AI earbuds are getting smarter, and Anker’s leaning in
With the AeroFit 2 AI Assistant, Anker isn’t just tweaking sound quality or aesthetics; it’s layering intelligence on top of audio. The addition of live translation and voice interactivity signals a shift toward multi-functional wearables, not just better-sounding ones. For travelers, multitaskers, or anyone looking to do more with less gear, this might be one to watch literally and linguistically.
