The brand has been around for over a decade, has built a strong reputation, and offers some of the most advanced products in the genre. It's easy to buy and recommend if you're looking for something new. So it only makes sense that the brand would push things further. That's exactly the case, with Anker announcing a vast assortment of new products at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Perhaps the biggest surprise out of all its announcements is the Anker MindBase. This device aims to be the central hub of your home, connecting all your smart devices. You'll be able to access it all from one app and there's even onboard storage and expansion. The brands also introduced new security cameras, doorbells, and sensors, along with a new robot vacuum and even a robot mower.

You have the flagship Soundcore Space 2 Pro headphones, Liberty Buds 2 earbuds, AeroClip 2 Pro open-ear earbuds, and RIC Hearing Aids.
