TechRadar reviewed the Anker Soundcore AeroClip 2, highlighting practical improvements such as IP57 water resistance, LDAC codec support, and clear call performance powered by a new internal chip. The reviewer found that the clip-on design remains lightweight and secure, while sound personalization via HearID helps compensate for the inherently lean bass of open acoustics. However, the author cautions that the $169.99 price tag represents a $40 increase over the original model, with no active noise cancellation and fewer sonic benefits for iOS users lacking LDAC support.
