Anker Soundcore AeroClip 2 review: a solid pair of ultra-compact, featherweight clip-on earbuds

The Anker Soundcore AeroClip 2 arrives as an incremental but effective upgrade to the original open-ear clip-on earbuds. Featuring the new 'AnkerThus' chip, the device offers significantly improved computing power, resulting in superior call quality and AI-driven noise suppression. Key enhancements include an IP57 waterproofing rating, improved battery life totaling 32 hours with the case, and the addition of LDAC support for high-resolution audio streaming. The design remains lightweight and comfortable, now featuring a more compact charging case. While the out-of-the-box bass response is somewhat recessed due to the open-ear architecture, the inclusion of the HearID sound customization feature allows users to tailor the audio profile to their preferences. Overall, the AeroClip 2 maintains the series' reputation for comfort and versatility, making it a strong contender in the competitive market for open-ear audio devices.
