Anker officially launches Soundcore AeroClip 2, the world’s first ear-clip headphones certified by Apple MFi. The new product not only supports Siri voice wake-up and native pop-up window pairing, but is also equipped with a self-developed ThusAI chip and 12mm dynamic unit, taking into account comfortable wearing and excellent sound quality. The initial price is 999 RMB.
Anker officially released the Soundcore AeroClip 2 air clip headphones, becoming the world’s first ear clip headphones to obtain Apple MFi certification. With an initial price of RMB 999, it has successfully introduced open-back headphones into the Apple ecosystem. It not only has a native operating experience comparable to AirPods, but also brings a new choice to users who pursue wearing comfort and seamless connection with Apple devices.
Soundcore AeroClip 2 adopts an ergonomic open ear clip structure, which can be firmly fixed on the auricle without inserting into the ear canal, effectively solving the pain and stuffiness caused by wearing in-ear headphones for a long time. The body design is specially designed for sports and daily commuting, and it will not come loose easily even during strenuous exercise. In addition, the open-back headphone form allows users to clearly perceive the surrounding environment sounds while enjoying music, improving the safety of outdoor use.
In terms of hardware specifications, AeroClip 2 is equipped with Anker’s self-developed ThusAI storage and calculation integrated neural network audio chip, which has a computing power up to 150 times higher than traditional solutions and specializes in high-definition call noise reduction and vocal enhancement. The acoustic unit adopts a 12mm large dynamic dual magnetic circuit design and is equipped with an aviation titanium-coated PEN composite diaphragm, which brings solid low-frequency and clear treble performance.
Thanks to Apple MFi certification, iPhone, iPad and Mac users can enjoy native pop-up pairing, accurate battery display and direct voice wake-up Siri function. The headset also supports Bluetooth 6.0 technology and one-to-two cross-device connection, making switching seamless and smooth.
Anker Soundcore AeroClip 2 is initially priced at RMB 999 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,090) in the Chinese market and will be officially launched from today. As for the official release date, detailed pricing and listing schedule in the Hong Kong market, they are yet to be officially announced later.
Mobile Magazine’s short comment: In the past, ear clip headphones have been difficult to deeply integrate into the Apple ecosystem. Anker was the first to obtain the world’s first MFi certification, which undoubtedly opened up a new blue ocean for the open headphone market. It also reflects Apple’s trend of relaxing the MFi authorization threshold, which is of great significance to other accessories brands in the industry.
