TL;DR

Anker’s new AeroClip 2 Pro can record meetings and both sides of phone calls.
The new Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro can track sleep and heart metrics, while the cheaper Sleep Earbuds 4 use adaptive audio to help mask snoring.
Anker’s IFA 2026 lineup covers almost every kind of listener, with new open-ear buds, ANC earbuds, sleep-focused models, and over-ear headphones.

Anker has brought a lot of new audio gear to IFA 2026, covering just about every way you might want to listen. The lineup includes open-ear earbuds that can take meeting notes for you, buds designed to help you sleep through snoring, traditional ANC earbuds, and a new pair of over-ear headphones.

Perhaps the most interesting of the bunch is the Anker Soundcore AeroClip 2 Pro. These are open-ear, clip-on earbuds, so they don’t completely block your ears from the world around you. But what really sets them apart is their ability to record meetings and phone calls. The earbuds also feature Anker’s THUS AI audio chip, which supports features like clearer calls and adaptive noise control.

Recordings are stored inside the Soundcore app, can be transferred to other devices, and Anker says they’ll remain available for a longer period of time. As for the battery life, the company claims 10 hours of playback from the AeroClip 2 Pro, or 30 hours with the charging case. There’s no price or firm release date yet.

The regular AeroClip 2, on the other hand, also keeps a similar open-ear, clip-on design and features Anker’s THUS AI chip, 12mm dynamic drivers, and LDAC support for higher-quality wireless audio. Battery life is rated at eight hours from the earbuds, or up to 32 hours with the charging case. It launches September 22 for $170 in Midnight Black, Cloud White, and Mist Blue.

If you’d rather shut the world out, there’s the new Liberty Buds 2. These are more traditional in-ear earbuds with a six-microphone ANC system, along with a Comfort ANC mode designed to reduce that uncomfortable pressure feeling you can sometimes get from strong noise cancelation. They’ll cost $130 when they arrive on September 22.

Anker is also expanding its sleep-focused lineup with the Soundcore Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro. Instead of requiring a watch or smart ring, the earbuds use in-ear PPG sensors to monitor things such as your heart rate and heart rate variability while you sleep. Even the charging case is doing more than usual — it has an AMOLED screen for changing settings, setting alarms, and checking your sleep summary in the morning. The Sleep Earbuds 4 Pro will cost $349 and arrive in November.

The cheaper $229 Sleep Earbuds 4 skip some advanced tracking features and focus on helping you sleep. They can generate audio that adapts to snoring in real time — potentially handy if your partner suddenly turns into a chainsaw at 2 AM. They’re also 20% slimmer than the Sleep A30, which should make them less annoying for side sleepers. These earbuds arrive in October.

Finally, there’s the Space 2 Pro for anyone who prefers a proper pair of over-ear headphones. Anker is using 35mm drivers here, along with its HearID 5.0 system that can personalize the sound based on your hearing. You also get LDAC for higher-quality wireless audio and spatial audio for a more immersive listening experience. The headphones feature the THUS AI chip and a six-microphone setup, while ANC should come in handy for everything from a noisy commute to getting some work done in a busy café.

Battery life is another highlight. Anker claims up to 60 hours with ANC turned off or 30 hours with it enabled, which should comfortably get you through a long flight and probably the journey home too. The Space 2 Pro launches September 22 for $200 in Midnight Grey, Linen White, and Jet Black.

It’s a surprisingly varied audio lineup, especially now that Soundcore is being brought more closely under the Anker umbrella. More importantly, Anker isn’t relying solely on better sound or stronger ANC to sell these products. Its new earbuds want to take notes, track sleep, mask snoring, and generally do more than sit in your ears and play Spotify. Of course, Anker’s battery, ANC, and AI claims will need real-world testing before we know how well they actually work. Still, there’s enough new here to make Anker’s latest audio lineup worth paying attention to.
