Anker Innovations has demonstrated the integration of Microsoft’s technology with Anker’s product innovation to enhance artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities across consumer offerings.
The soundcore Aerofit 2, originally launched last year, added built-in AI translation powered by Microsoft Azure AI in March 2025, transforming the earbuds into a practical tool for seamless multilingual communication.
It supports two key modes: face-to-face translation, where users speak in their native language and hear real-time responses through their earbuds and simultaneous interpretation, which continuously streams translations during lectures or meetings to help users follow extended speech with ease.
With support for 100 languages and variants, it empowers users to connect across cultures and navigate global conversations with confidence.
Looking ahead, Anker Innovations and Microsoft are working together on the next generation of soundcore earbuds, which will support generative voice AI conversations using Azure’s Voice Live API-combining speech recognition, GenAI, and text-to-speech in a unified workflow.
Enhanced capabilities, leveraging Anker’s strong R&D foundation, will include soundcore’s noise suppression, echo cancellation, interruption handling, and end-of-turn detection. These features are designed not only to enable real-time, natural AI interactions, but also to further strengthen the brand’s product competitiveness and leadership in the smart audio market.
