GoKawiilAnker unveils Thus AI chip in Soundcore Space 2 Pro and Liberty Buds 2
At IFA 2026, Anker introduced a new AI processor called Thus across its Soundcore audio lineup, headlined by the Space 2 Pro over-ear headphones and Liberty Buds 2 earbuds. The chip powers an eight-sensor array for adaptive noise cancellation and real-time voice isolation during calls on both devices. Space 2 Pro offers up to 30 hours of battery with ANC on and launches September 22 for $200, while the $130 Liberty Buds 2 arrive the same day with a custom 9.2mm wool paper diaphragm.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Anker's move to build its own AI silicon signals that noise cancellation and call clarity are becoming key differentiators in a crowded audio market, rather than relying on third-party chipsets. Embedding smarter, sensor-driven processing directly into consumer headphones could push rivals to accelerate their own on-device AI audio features.
- Anker's new Thus AI chip debuts in the Space 2 Pro headphones and Liberty Buds 2 earbuds.
- Both products emphasize AI-enhanced noise cancellation and clearer calls via real-time voice separation.
- Space 2 Pro costs $200 with 30-60 hour battery life; Liberty Buds 2 costs $130, both launching September 22.
Soundcore Space One Pro Headphones — While the Space 2 Pro rolls out, Anker's Soundcore Space One Pro is the current flagship over-ear pick, with adaptive active noise cancellation and a folding design built for travel. It's an easy way to get Soundcore's ANC tuning and long battery life today.
