The AnkerWork S600 Uses AI to Block Background Noise, and It’s Not Just a Gimmick

With remote work now more normalized than ever, speakerphones like the AnkerWork S600 can be a solid way to improve the quality of audio calls no matter your environment. The S600, however, takes things a step further by adding AI to the mix, which picks up individual voices and blocks out unneeded noise.

The S600 is currently available as part of a Kickstarter, where you can back the device for a limited early bird price of $113. The regular price will eventually be around $180 when sold through retailers and Anker’s website, based on the discount percentage AnkerWork has listed on its Kickstarter. That’s a nice deal if you’re in need of a speakerphone with these capabilities, but is the AI actually worth it? I think so.
