Anker remains one of our preferred sources of power banks, USB-C hubs, and other PC and phone peripherals. But beware buying them from Anker itself. You might end up with a $9.99/mo “Plus subscription” that you’ll have to spot and actively cancel.
Some of Anker’s slim Nano products ship automatically bundled with the recurring Anker Plus subscription, which promises an extra five percent off of all purchases and benefits like free next-day delivery. That might be acceptable if it were your choice, but it’s not. The subscription is added as a one-time “free” benefit. After that, Anker will charge $9.99 to your credit card per month.
Speakers too. I used to work in a kitchen and i bought one of the soundcore speakers to bring in and use since it was cheap and i had one i was happy with at home. Not only is the sound fantastic for the size but that thing survived like 3 years of 16hr a day playing, plus getting battered and beaten and spilled on and dropped. I got out of that job because i couldn’t handle it anymore but for all i know that speaker is still there plugging away.
I kind of wish I lived the type of life where a bluetooth speaker was a useful thing for me. Honestly I never considered it. I think I’ve purchased one bluetooth speaker in my life, and it was a gift for my girlfriend (now wife).
