What does the Thus AI chip actually do?

Soundcore says it handles audio processing on the earbuds themselves, which is meant to improve noise handling and call clarity. The 152x computing figure is Soundcore's internal comparison with its previous flagship earbud chip, not an independent benchmark.

Do they work with both iPhone and Android?

Yes. They pair over standard Bluetooth, and the Soundcore app for iOS and Android handles settings and firmware updates.

Are they good for phone calls?

The on-device chip is aimed at call clarity, and in-ear buds with a sealed fit generally help block background noise. Very windy or crowded outdoor calls are still the hardest case for any earbud.

How do they compare with premium earbuds like AirPods or Sony?

You get a similar core feature set for less, but premium rivals typically offer better build, more refined sound tuning and deeper phone integration. Choose these if value matters more than polish.

What comes in the box?

Expect the earbuds, the charging case and a USB charging cable, plus extra ear tips for fit. Check the listing for the exact included accessories.

Our take on the Anker soundcore Liberty Buds 2

The Soundcore Liberty Buds 2 are true wireless earbuds from Anker's Soundcore line, built around the Thus AI chip that Soundcore says brings a big jump in on-device processing over its previous flagship earbud chip. That chip is meant to sharpen noise handling and call clarity without leaning on your phone. They suit people who want strong everyday features from a value-focused brand rather than premium-brand polish. Compared with pricier rivals like AirPods or Sony's earbuds, expect fewer ecosystem extras and a more plastic build, but a feature set that undercuts them on what you pay.
