On May 27, 2026, Anker Japan released the Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro, a new hook-style wireless earbud under its audio and visual brand Soundcore. As the first Soundcore hook-style model that can switch between an open-ear and in-ear fit, it is priced at 26,990 yen including tax. The product also features LDAC™ support, an IP55 dust and water resistance rating, and up to 34 hours of playback when combined with the charging case, putting it on par with flagship-class earbuds.
Adjustable Ear Hook Lets You Switch Between Two Wearing Styles
The biggest feature of the Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro is that, for the first time in Soundcore's hook-style lineup, the wearing style can be switched between two modes[1]. Users can choose the open-ear mode when they want to remain aware of their surroundings, such as during walking or running, and the in-ear mode when they want to focus on music or video.
The switch is made by simply adjusting the angle of the ear hook, with no need to physically swap the earbuds[1]. A single device covers both open and sealed listening styles, removing the need to carry multiple earbuds for different scenarios. While maintaining the stable fit of a hook-style design, users can change how the sound is delivered depending on the situation, making this a new type of 2-in-1 model.
11.8 mm Driver with LDAC, Plus Sound Leakage Control
For audio performance, the earbuds use an 11.8 mm dynamic driver paired with an LCP diaphragm, aiming to deliver both powerful bass and clear highs[1]. The codec lineup includes the high-resolution wireless audio codec LDAC™, so when paired with a compatible smartphone, users can stream rich, high-bitrate audio over Bluetooth.
To address the sound leakage that often comes with open-ear designs, the AeroFit 2 Pro uses directional acoustic technology[1]. This concentrates the sound toward the ear, allowing use in quiet places such as offices or trains without bothering nearby listeners. When used as in-ear, two sensors detect the angle of the ear hook and the seal at the ear canal, identify the wearing state, and reduce noise accordingly. Even in noisy environments, music is less likely to be drowned out by ambient sound, supporting focused listening.
IP55 Dust/Water Resistance and Up to 34 Hours of Playback
In terms of practical features, the earbuds meet the IP55 dust and water resistance rating[1], withstanding sweat during outdoor runs and sudden light rain. The shape of the ear hook is designed to stay stable during exercise, targeting use cases that range from sports to everyday wear.
Battery life is up to 7 hours on the earbuds alone and up to 34 hours when combined with the included charging case[1]. Both figures apply when used in open-ear mode, and actual playback time will vary depending on volume and conditions. For calls, AeroFit 2 Pro includes AI noise reduction, aiming to deliver clear voice communication even in noisy environments such as outdoor areas or crowded cafes.
Four Colors Available, Sold on Amazon and the Official Store
The AeroFit 2 Pro is offered in four colors: Midnight Black, Pearl White, Deep Blue, and Light Purple[1]. The lineup combines neutral tones suited to offices or formal settings with shades that stand out in daily and active scenes. Light Purple, however, will go on sale only from late June 2026.
Sales channels include the Anker Japan official online store's dedicated product page[2], Anker Store retail locations, Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten, and selected consumer electronics retailers[1]. A dedicated product page is already live on Amazon.co.jp, providing a clear purchase path.

Summary
The Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro is the first hook-style Soundcore earbud to support switching between open-ear and in-ear modes in a single 2-in-1 design. With an 11.8 mm driver, LDAC support, IP55 dust and water resistance, up to 34 hours of playback with the case, and AI noise reduction for calls, the feature set is firmly in flagship territory. For listeners who want one device that handles both casual ambient listening and focused listening, or for those who have been juggling several pairs of earbuds for different scenes, the AeroFit 2 Pro is a useful way to consolidate the lineup.
