Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2: An In-Depth Analysis

Although 2 are generally very good, it’s useful to be aware of the limitations of this design. Some of these caveats might not be dealbreakers for you, but some might.

Potential Drawbacks:

• No AptX: The Liberty Air 2 don’t have the AptX codec, which allows Bluetooth audio to play back in a high-quality format. This may be a dealbreaker for some, and won’t be an issue for a lot of listeners, but can be an issue if you have a device on the Air’s side that does support the AptX format.
• Fewer Features Than Pro Model: While the Liberty Air 2 has a strong amount of features available, some of the more specialised features from Liberty Air 2 Pro, such as HearID 2.0 and advanced noise cancellation, are unfortunately missing from the Liberty Air 2. For listeners in need of the most advanced features, the Liberty Air 2 Pro will be the best option.
