Anker launches $ 130 Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro headphones to compete with AirPods Pro

Anker today announced the launch of the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro headphones, which are true wireless headphones with active noise cancellation features.

Costing $ 130, the Liberty Air 2 Pro headphones cost half the price of the AirPods Pro and are the first Soundcore headphones to offer noise canceling functionality. There are three ANC modes, including Transport, Internal and External to adjust noise cancellation levels.

The transport mode is optimized to reduce noise from engines, traffic and public transport to reduce up to 90 percent of noise during a journey, while the outdoor mode targets low and medium frequency sounds to minimize noise, allowing traffic sounds pass. The internal mode targets and cancels human voices.

The Liberty Air 2 Pro comes in four colors: Onyx Black, Titanium White, Sapphire Blue and Crystal Pink. The headphones offer a six-hour battery with ANC enabled or seven hours with the feature disabled, and there is a USB-C / Qi charging case that adds up to 26 hours of additional battery life.

Six integrated microphones optimize voice for phone calls and aim to minimize background noise, and the headphones are compatible with Siri at launch. There are integrated touch controls for playing music, which can be customized within the accompanying application.

As for sound, Anker says the headphones are equipped with PureNote Driver technology with 11 mm drivers for “accurate sound and clarity on all frequencies”. A custom HearID equalization feature is included to intelligently analyze each person’s hearing profile to create a tailor-made sound setup. There is also an adjustable equalizer with 22 preset sound profiles and the headphones come with nine pairs of silicon tips so that users can get the ideal fit.

Liberty Air 2 Pro can be purchased on the Anker website or on Amazon for $ 129.99.
