Anker showed a full audio lineup at IFA 2026 and put the same silicon in all of it. The chip is called Thus, it is new, and Engadget reported the lineup on September 3. Headphones, earbuds, clip-ons, sleep buds and hearing aids all now run it.

The Soundcore Space 2 Pro is the headline product. Thus drives an eight-sensor array for adaptive noise cancellation, and it handles real-time voice separation and noise separation on calls. Battery life is up to 30 hours with cancellation on and 60 hours with it off. It arrives on September 22 at $200.

The Soundcore Liberty Buds 2 land the same day at $130. Thus does the same job on noise cancellation there, with the emphasis on how calls sound, and the buds carry a custom 9.2mm wool paper diaphragm.

Then there are the clip-ons. The Soundcore AeroClip 2 is an open-ear pair with eight hours of battery, $170, also from September 22. The AeroClip 2 Pro costs $230 and does the one thing in this lineup that is easy to check: it captures audio from an online meeting or a call and uses Thus to transcribe or summarise it. Anker has given it no release window.

Two more products sit further out. Sleep Earbuds 4 are due between October and November, and Anker is bringing RIC hearing aids with fast charging.

A shared chip across five product classes is a claim about cost, not about sound. Anker builds a lot of audio hardware at a lot of prices, and one processor that does cancellation, call separation and transcription lets the same part carry a $130 pair of buds and a set of hearing aids. That is how a company ships this many products in one week.

The noise cancellation numbers are the part nobody can check yet. Every set of earbuds announced this year improves adaptive ANC, and you find out whether the improvement is there the first time somebody wears them on a train. Eight sensors is a specification, not a result.

Transcription is different, because it either produces a usable summary of your meeting or it doesn't, and you find out the first time you use it. Putting it in a $230 open-ear clip is a strange and interesting choice. Open-ear designs leak sound and let the room in, which is a problem for music and an advantage for a device whose job is listening to a conversation you are also part of.

Anker hasn't said when the AeroClip 2 Pro ships. It has dated everything else in the lineup for September 22.
