soundcore by Anker Innovations Showcases A.I.-Driven Audio Experience at Microsoft Build 2025
Anker Innovations, a global leader in smart hardware technology, made waves at Microsoft Build 2025 by showcasing its latest AI-driven innovations through its premium audio brand, soundcore. The presentation marked a significant step in Anker’s vision of integrating artificial intelligence into everyday consumer tech, elevating user experiences through seamless software-hardware synergy.
Real-Time AI Translation in soundcore Earbuds
At the heart of Anker’s showcase was the soundcore Aerofit 2, a wireless earbud model that now features real-time translation and generative AI capabilities. These features are powered by Microsoft Azure AI and reflect a collaborative effort to create more intelligent, versatile, and accessible audio products.
Initially launched last year, the Aerofit 2 was upgraded in March 2025 with two dynamic translation modes:
Face-to-face translation, allowing users to speak in their native language while hearing real-time translations.
Simultaneous interpretation, ideal for lectures or meetings, streaming continuous translations of extended speech directly to users' ears.
With support for 100 languages and dialects, the Aerofit 2 empowers global communication and has already earned critical acclaim, securing both the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award in 2025.
> “We’re excited to be part of Microsoft Build and to demonstrate what’s possible when A.I. meets everyday tech,” said Dongping Zhao, President of Anker Innovations. “Through close integration with Microsoft, we’re bringing smarter, more intuitive audio experiences to users worldwide.”
Next-Gen Voice AI: A Glimpse Into the Future
Looking ahead, Anker Innovations and Microsoft are co-developing the next generation of soundcore earbuds equipped with generative voice AI capabilities. Built using Azure’s Voice Live API, the new models will unify speech recognition, generative AI, and text-to-speech in a single, real-time workflow.
Enhanced features will include:
Advanced noise suppression and echo cancellation
Interruption handling for more natural conversations
Intelligent end-of-turn detection for seamless voice interaction
These innovations aim to create a fluid, lifelike AI audio assistant, transforming how users interact with smart devices and reinforcing soundcore's leadership in the competitive smart audio market.
