AeroClip 2 consists of two parts located on the front and back of the ear, connected by an elastic C-bridge. The front part contains the driver facing the ear, while the back part contains the battery and components. This way of wearing is different from in-ear headphones in that there is no plug in the ear canal, the user can still hear people talking, traffic or surrounding sounds when listening to music. However, noise canceling ability is almost non-existent on the product. According to Anker, this design called GoldenFit was developed based on data scanning more than 2,000 ears to help users wear it with a comfortable feeling.

With 6.2 grams per earbud, practical experience shows that wearing is comfortable, even during vigorous exercise such as jogging, long jumping or jumping on the spot. However, for people with small ears, headphones can feel unbalanced when worn. For people with large ear sizes, the bridge can create pressure after a certain time. People who wear glasses also need to pay attention to the space between the glasses and the headset.

Anker's headphones are also equipped with physical buttons instead of touch buttons like on the previous generation. When worn, the button is located behind the ear, making it convenient to operate with not too much pressure.

Inside AeroClip 2 is equipped with a 12 mm driver, supporting LDAC codec. Instead of listening to music, the feature that Anker focuses on most on headphones is related to calling capabilities. Specifically, each earbud has four microphones combined with two VPU sensors (sensors that detect jawbone or voice vibrations, helping to filter noise and improve conversation quality). Combining the Anker Thus AI voice processing system and self-developed AI Thus chip, the voice is separated from the surrounding environment.

In fact, when making calls, the lack of a sealed earplug means the microphone has to process more environmental sounds than in-ear headphones, so voice isolation is important. Anker said AeroClip 2 achieved Guinness World Records certification for open-ear headphones with the best conversation quality. Measurements were taken in August.

Experience shows that when calling, the sound quality is still clear even in noisy places, loud sounds or strong winds. When listening to music, the headphones provide sufficient volume and clear midrange, making vocals and podcasts easy to hear. Bass has power but does not go as deep and create vibrations like in-ears, especially when in noisy places. When increasing the volume to compensate for environmental noise, the experience is also reduced because outside sounds are easily mixed into the music - a characteristic of open-ear in general, which is more suitable for people who often have online meetings, make calls while walking or working in a shared space.

Users can adjust the sound through the Anker Soundcore app and use HearID 5.0 ​​to create sound profiles based on each person's hearing ability. The headset supports conversation translation in more than 100 languages ​​through the AI ​​Translation feature, or Nap Mode allows playing white noise directly for users to rest, in addition to common functions such as customizing EQ, setting up controls and managing connections.

AeroClip 2 provides up to 8 hours of listening time per charge and 32 hours when including the charging case, supporting quick charging of 10 minutes for about 4 hours of use. This parameter is not too high compared to competitors in the same price range, such as Shokz OpenDots 2 reaching a maximum of 10 hours on headphones and 40 hours when combined with the box, or Huawei FreeClip 2 also reaching 9 and 38 hours respectively.
