The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro Truly Wireless are the upgraded variant of the Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 Truly Wireless. With this update, Anker has added a customizable active noise cancelling (ANC) feature which can help cut down a great amount of ambient noise around you. Otherwise, these headphones have a similar build and design as their base model. They have a bass-heavy sound profile that can be tweaked using their companion app's graphic EQ or presets and a comfortable fit. However, their overall battery life falls short of their advertised playtime.

Style

The Anker Liberty Air 2 Pro have a similar look to the Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 Truly Wireless, thanks to their stem design and satin finish. However, besides the small logo and brand name on the outer sides of the headphones, they look fairly nondescript. They come in four different color variants if you're looking for something with a splash of color.

Comfort

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro are decently comfortable headphones. They have a similar fit to the Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 Truly Wireless but go a bit more deeply into your ear. That said, they feel lightweight, and you shouldn't have too much of a problem wearing them for a couple of hours at a time. 

Controls

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro have sub-par controls. There is a touch-sensitive surface on each earbud, and the controls aren't the most intuitive out-of-the-box. There are also some beeps when registering commands. You can tap twice on the left bud to skip to the next track while the same action on the right bud plays and pauses your audio. You can also hold down either bud for two seconds to turn their ANC on and off.

However, they lack volume controls by default. We also couldn't get the voice prompt to work on our model. While you can remap features, you can only have three controls at the same time, which is a bit disappointing. The headphones can only be turned off by putting them in the case too, and if you want to manually pair them via Bluetooth, you have to put them back in their case and hold the button on the case

Breathability

Like most in-ear headphones, the Anker Liberty Air 2 Pro trap very little heat inside your ear. They shouldn't make your ears sweat more than usual, which makes them a suitable option for sports.

Portability

These truly wireless headphones are very small and portable. You can easily fit them into most pockets, even when they're put inside their carrying case.

Case

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro have a great carrying case. It's made of good plastic and a silicone-like material, which should help protect your headphones from the occasional fall.

Build Quality

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro are well-built and overall, have a similar build quality as the Nothing ear (1) Truly Wireless. They're made of plastic and a silicone-like material but seem sturdy enough to withstand a few accidental drops without too much of an issue. They're also rated IPX4 for water resistance, although we don't currently test for this. That said, the weak points of these headphones are that the ear tips could rip. The carrying case's lid could also break over time.

Stability

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro are stable headphones. Once you get a good seal using one of the many pairs of differently-sized ear tips included, they should stay in your ears during a jog or run. However, they lack stability fins, so they may fall out during more intense physical exercise. If you're looking for more stable in-ears, try the Google Pixel Buds A-Series Truly Wireless instead.

Battery

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro have a disappointing battery performance. We measured continuous battery life of around 3.5 hours and about two extra charges from their charging case, which is less than their advertised seven hours of playtime and three extra charges. However, battery life can vary depending on usage, so your real-life experience may vary. Still, you may want to consider the Anker Soundcore Life A2 NC Truly Wireless or the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Truly Wireless if you're looking for truly wireless in-ears with significantly better battery performance. While they don't have a power-saving feature, you can use one earbud while the other one charges.

App  Support

The Anker Soundcore app is a great companion app that offers several customization options. It has a graphic EQ as well as 20 different EQ settings. There's also 'HearID', which optimizes the headphones' audio reproduction to your ears. In addition to ANC presets, there's also a customizable 'wheel' that you can use to adjust the ANC to suit your needs.

Bluetooth

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro have satisfactory Bluetooth connectivity. While they use Bluetooth 5.0, you won't be able to connect them to more than one device at a time, and they don't support NFC pairing, either. Their latency on PCs is also high. However, their latency on iOS and Android is a bit lower, which is good if you like to stream video content. It's worth noting that apps and devices compensate for latency differently, so your real-life experience may vary.

Wited

These truly wireless headphones are Bluetooth-only. They come with a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging the carrying case.

Base/Dock

The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro come with a carrying case that holds around two additional charges. It can be charged using their USB-C to USB-A cable, and it also supports wireless Qi charging.
