BREAKING: Soundcore has just unveiled a groundbreaking product at CES 2026 in Las Vegas: the AeroFit 2 Pro, the first wireless earbuds that allow users to seamlessly switch between open-ear audio and active noise cancellation (ANC) modes.
This innovative design addresses a common frustration for audio enthusiasts: the choice between the comfort and environmental awareness of open audio and the immersive experience of noise cancellation. With the AeroFit 2 Pro, users can enjoy the best of both worlds.
The AeroFit 2 Pro features a unique five-level adjustable ear hook that enables wearers to adjust the fit for either open audio or a secure seal for ANC. This versatility is a game-changer for those who want to enjoy music, podcasts, or calls without compromising on situational awareness or sound isolation.
Soundcore claims that the AeroFit 2 Pro will automatically detect which mode is in use and calibrate the equalizer settings accordingly. This smart technology could enhance user experience by optimizing sound quality based on the desired listening environment.
“We’re excited to introduce a product that meets the needs of diverse listening scenarios,” Soundcore representatives stated during the CES presentation.
However, questions remain about the efficacy of the ANC mode, which Soundcore describes as “semi-in-ear” with a “shallower” fit aimed at maximizing comfort. Early users will need to assess whether this design compromises the level of noise cancellation typically expected from traditional earbuds.
Beyond its dual-mode capabilities, the AeroFit 2 Pro boasts impressive specifications, including an 11.8mm dynamic driver, spatial audio capabilities, and support for LDAC hi-res audio, enhancing sound quality even in standard Bluetooth connections.
The AeroFit 2 Pro is set to launch on January 6, 2026, with a retail price of $179.99. Initially available in black, additional color options such as matte purple, gloss white, and gloss blue will follow shortly after. This variety is expected to appeal to a broad range of consumers.
As Soundcore aims to redefine the wireless earbud experience, tech enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating firsthand reviews of the AeroFit 2 Pro. Will this product truly meet the demand for dual-functionality in audio devices? Stay tuned for more updates from the CES 2026 floor.
