The soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black is the Jet Black edition of soundcore’s open-ear translation earbuds, the model that adds the Anka voice assistant and app-based translation in 100 languages to the AeroFit 2 design. Do not confuse it with the regular AeroFit 2 in black: this AI Assistant version (A3874X, sold by Anker Middle East as A3874H12) is the one that answers to “Hey Anka”. It keeps the open-ear hooks, so you hear the room around you, and adds two-device pairing, LDAC, IP55 and a case that charges on a wireless pad. In black it is the discreet choice for the office, the commute and business travel.

Why the soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black fits a working day
soundcore sells this model in Jet Black, Pearl White and Sage Green. Black is the quiet one. It disappears against dark hair, suits a suit or an abaya, matches most black phones and laptop bags, and hides the scuffs and fingerprints that daily use leaves on a charging case. If the earbuds go to client meetings, the airport lounge and the gym in the same day, black looks right in all three.
Open-ear design has a particular benefit at work. Because nothing plugs your ears, you can follow a call or a podcast at your desk and still hear a colleague who stops to ask a question, or a boarding announcement at the gate. There is no need to pull an earbud out each time someone speaks to you.
soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black as a translation tool
Teams in the UAE mix many languages, and business trips add more. The soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black works with two translation modes in the soundcore app, and soundcore says they cover 100 languages, free of charge. Real-Time Translation starts with “Hey Anka” and the command “Start translation”, or from the Anka page in the app, and is aimed at listening to a speaker, a presentation or a meeting. Face-to-Face Translation is opened from the same page and suits a one-to-one conversation, such as a taxi ride or a supplier visit.
One practical detail from the user guide: Dual Connections must be turned off before real-time translation will start, so drop the laptop connection first. soundcore does not list the 100 languages on its product page; check the app if you need a less common one.
Anka: what the assistant does and what it needs
Anka is soundcore’s own AI assistant. It wakes when you say “Hey Anka”, even with the phone locked, when you hold the touch area on either earbud for two seconds, or when you tap Anka AI Assistant in the app. The wake phrase cannot be changed. Use it to ask questions, look up information or adjust the earbuds while your hands are on a steering wheel or a suitcase.
Anka runs through the soundcore app, which has to be installed, kept up to date and connected to the earbuds; on Android, allow it to run in the background. soundcore notes that Anka cannot operate other apps and that its answers may contain mistakes, so verify anything that matters before you act on it.
Dual Connections, calls and touch controls
Dual Connections is on out of the box, so the soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black can stay linked to your phone and your laptop together. To add a second device, hold the touch areas on both earbuds for 3 seconds until you hear the pairing prompt, or use Dual Connections in the soundcore app. If two devices are already connected, remove one first.
Calls are handled by touch: double-tap either earbud to answer and hold for two seconds to hang up. For music, a double-tap on the right earbud plays or pauses and a double-tap on the left skips forward. Every gesture can be reassigned in the app.
Sound and battery on the soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black
The 20 × 11.5 mm racetrack drivers use soundcore’s BassTurbo structure to make up for the bass that open earbuds lose without a seal. The guide gives a 20 Hz–20 kHz response, up to 40 kHz in LDAC mode, at 16 Ω. LDAC requires Android 8.0 or later.
soundcore rates playback at up to 8.5 hours per charge and 35 hours with the case, enough for a long-haul flight and the days after it. Ten minutes of charging gives up to 3 hours. A full charge takes 1 hour for the earbuds alone and 2.2 hours for the case with the earbuds inside by cable, or 2.6 hours on a wireless charger; the case on its own needs 1.7 hours and holds 750 mAh.
The rest, in brief
The soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black has four-level ear hooks (LV1–LV4) with a double-curved surface that soundcore says fits over 99% of ears, IP55 earbuds with SweatGuard, Bluetooth 5.4 and a USB-C cable for the case.
Who This Is Not For
Skip the soundcore AeroFit 2 AI Assistant Black if you need noise cancelling for flights or a loud open-plan floor: open earbuds let outside sound in and there is no ANC. People near you in a quiet room may also hear your audio at high volume. If you want the longest battery and do not need Anka or translation, the regular AeroFit 2 is the better buy. LDAC does not work on iPhone, translation cannot run while two devices are connected, and the assistant needs the soundcore app and your phone. soundcore does not publish the weight or microphone details. IP55 is not for swimming.
