Soundcore's AeroClip 2 Pro pairs AI transcription with a paid subscription

At IFA 2026, Soundcore's AeroClip 2 Pro earbuds introduced AI meeting transcription across in-person, phone, and online calls. The feature ships with 120 free monthly minutes for 24 months, then requires a paid plan. Pricing and launch date are unannounced. Recurring subscriptions tied to hardware remain uncommon in consumer audio, where one-time purchase is still the norm.
