I expected Anker to release a noise-canceling version of his popular Liberty Air 2 headphones last year, but the launch was apparently delayed a few months, thanks in part to the global pandemic. But the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro ($ 130, £ 130), the company’s first active noise canceling headphones, are here now, making their debut as part of CES 2021. Except for having a little problem with the included eartips (I had to use my own to get a tight seal), they’re an excellent set of truly wireless headphones that compare well with Apple’s AirPods Pro for a lot less money.
Here is a look at the main features, according to Anker:
