40 Anker products from OMR 2.500 to OMR 89.900 - the charging and audio range. Anker is the reason you can buy a well-made charger without paying Apple or Samsung prices for it.

Everything here is original Anker stock. Counterfeit charging accessories are widespread in this market and a badly made charger is a safety problem, not a performance one.

Chargers and cables: what to look for

A charger's wattage is its maximum, not what your device draws. 20W to 30W covers phones, 45W covers tablets, 65W and above covers laptops over USB-C. Check output per port rather than the total - a 67W three-port charger may give one device only 30W.

Cables that look identical differ by a factor of ten in what they carry. The three things that matter are the connectors on each end, the wattage rating, and the length. A 3ft cable suits a desk; a 6ft cable suits a bed or a sofa.

Anker's braided cables are worth the small premium. A cable almost always fails where it meets the connector, and braiding plus moulded strain relief is what prevents it.

Power banks

The Anker range here runs from a pocket 5,000mAh unit to a 25,000mAh, 165W bank that will charge a laptop at full speed. The magnetic Maggo models stick to a compatible iPhone and charge wirelessly - convenient, and less efficient than a cable.

All of them are under the 100Wh threshold airlines apply to carry-on lithium batteries. Power banks go in hand baggage only, never in a checked bag, and the rules on using one in flight are tightening - see power banks for the detail.

Soundcore audio

Soundcore is Anker's audio line and it covers the affordable end of earbuds and over-ear headphones thoroughly - from a few rial to the Liberty flagship models.

The one thing to check on any pair is whether the noise cancellation is ANC or ENC. ANC cancels what you hear; ENC only cleans up your microphone for callers and does nothing for your listening. Both appear across this range and our listings say which each pair has, in words rather than acronyms.

Why buy Anker rather than the phone maker's own

Price and range, mostly. Anker publishes proper specifications, its products are widely tested, and its chargers are built with the isolation and protection circuitry that cheap copies leave out.

Where the phone maker's own accessory is worth the premium is where the device needs something proprietary - MagSafe on iPhone, for instance. For a plain USB-C charger or cable, Anker does the same job for less.

Buying from Playphone

Every Anker product listed here is sealed, brand new and 100% original, delivered free anywhere in Oman or collected from the Ruwi or Salalah store.
