The Liberty Air 2 Pro costs $129 and features multi-mode active noise cancellation. It comes in four colors, and Anker claims it lasts up to seven hours on a charge. Meanwhile, competitors like the AirPods Pro cost $249, while Google’s Pixel Buds cost $179.
“We wanted to tackle a new challenge: noise,” Steven Yang, CEO of Anker Innovation, said at a press conference at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show to announce the new earbuds. “We live in a loud world. Active noise cancellation has become a must-have feature for headphones.”
The Liberty Air 2 Pro are a sleek-looking pair of earbuds. They’re a bit thicker than Apple’s AirPods, but still slim enough to fit in your ears. They come in Onyx Black, Titanium White, Sapphire Blue, and Crystal Pink, unlike the AirPods, which can be had in any color you want, as long as it’s white.
