TL;DR
Anker’s new AeroFit Pro 2 earbuds — a hybrid pair that can be used in-ear or as open-ear headphones — are available with a $30 launch discount using a promo code at Anker’s store. The design includes ear hooks, wearing sensors, and six microphones for ANC in in-ear mode, though the noise cancellation isn’t expected to match top-tier rivals.
What happened
At CES 2026 Anker showed the AeroFit Pro 2, a pair of wireless earbuds that can also operate as open-ear headphones. Wearers can choose to insert the buds for a more immersive sound with active noise cancellation, or leave them positioned to project audio near the ear so ambient sound remains audible. The earbuds use an ear-hook form factor and include sensors that detect how they’re being worn; the system can automatically adjust EQ settings and enable features based on that detection. In in-ear mode the AeroFit Pro 2 rely on six built-in microphones to deliver ANC. Anker launched them at an MSRP of $179.99 and is offering a $30 discount when customers apply the code WSTDA3875US on its site, bringing the promotional price to roughly $150. The Verge’s coverage characterized the product as promising but cautioned its ANC likely won’t outpace leaders like Bose, Sony, or Apple.
Why it matters

- Ear-hook design and wearing sensors suggest a focus on secure fit and adaptive audio for activity like workouts.
- Built-in six-microphone array enables active noise cancellation when used in in-ear mode.
- A $30 launch discount lowers the entry price, potentially making the feature set more attractive versus competitors.
- Early coverage positions the AeroFit Pro 2 as promising but not necessarily a leader in ANC performance.
