Dubai-UAE: 17 June 2025 – Anker Innovations, a global smart hardware technology company, recently participated in Microsoft Build 2025, showcasing the integration of Microsoft’s technology with Anker’s product innovation to enhance A.I. capabilities across consumer offerings.

At the event, soundcore, Anker Innovations’ premium audio brand, is featured to showcase its integration of real-time translation and generative AI in its wireless earbuds. This initiative reflects Anker’s broader vision to move beyond traditional hardware and deliver intelligent, software-enabled solutions.

“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. “Built on deep technical integration and shared innovation goals, we’re able to deliver smarter, more intuitive, and responsive audio products for users around the world.”

The soundcore Aerofit 2, originally launched last year, added built-in AI translation powered by Microsoft Azure AI in March 2025, transforming the earbuds into a practical tool for seamless multilingual communication. It supports two key modes: face-to-face translation, where users speak in their native language and hear real-time responses through their earbuds; and simultaneous interpretation, which continuously streams translations during lectures or meetings to help users follow extended speech with ease. With support for 100 languages and variants, it empowers users to connect across cultures and navigate global conversations with confidence. Striking a balance between comfort and multifunctionality, the Aerofit 2 was honored with both the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award in 2025.

Looking ahead, Anker Innovations and Microsoft are working together on the next generation of soundcore earbuds, which will support generative voice A.I. conversations using Azure’s Voice Live API—combining speech recognition, generative AI, and text-to-speech in a unified workflow. Enhanced capabilities, leveraging Anker’s strong R&D foundation, will include soundcore’s noise suppression, echo cancellation, interruption handling, and end-of-turn detection. These features are designed not only to enable real-time, natural AI interactions, but also to further strengthen the brand’s product competitiveness and leadership in the smart audio market.

Anker Innovations is a global technology company committed to igniting possibilities through ultimate innovation. Since its founding in 2011, Anker has introduced a broad portfolio of consumer technology products, trusted by over 200 million users across more than 140 countries and regions. As the company continues to evolve, it remains at the forefront of A.I.-driven innovation, delivering intelligent, connected experiences that redefine the role of smart hardware in everyday life.
