Anker’s new gadgets are foldable and fast-charging

Announced at this year’s IFA conference in Berlin, Anker’s latest slate of headphones and portable chargers aren’t pitching themselves on fast-charging but flexibility.

The first cab off the rank here is the Anker MagGo wireless charging station. This 3-in-1 charging pad comes in four different colors (Black, White, Pink and Green) but no matter which one you settle on you’ll come away with both Qi 2 and Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) compatibility. 

That last one means that it’ll play nice with Apple’s MagSafe standard, regardless of whether you’re using an Apple Watch, AirPods or iPhone. It can even charge all three at once, provided you’re set up with the right cable.

More so than the specs or speeds, the real selling point here is the form-factor. When not in use the Anker MagGo wireless charging station can be rolled up into a ball that’s roughly the size and shape of a macaron. While it doesn’t have any sort of built-in battery, there’s still a lot to like about the portability on offer here.

The same can be said of the new Soundcore Space One Pro headphones. Anker’s latest set of affordable over-ear headphones come kitted out with 40mm drivers, 40 hours of active-noise cancellation and fast USB-C fast-charging. That’s a likable enough recipe for a set of cheap wireless headphones, albeit a familiar one. 

Like the new MagGo wireless charging station, the biggest point of difference here is the form-factor. When not in use, the Space One Pro can be folded up into a more convenient shape. The other end of this transformation looks almost like a set of AirPods Max that have been squished down into a ball.

At the time of writing, there’s no Australian pricing for the Soundcore Space One Pro headphones. However, Anker Australia has said to expect the headphones to launch locally as soon as next month. The new Anker MagGo wireless charging station will launch around the same time for $199.
