Full Review
The AnkerWork B600 answers a simple question: why does a decent video call setup need a webcam, a USB mic, a speakerphone, and a ring light clamped to your desk? It folds all four into one bar that clips to the top of your monitor and runs off a single USB-C cable.
Build and Setup
The bar is solid aluminum and plastic, weighted well enough to sit stably on thinner monitors. The clip hinges down to grip the top edge and uses a padded foot to brace against the screen. There’s also a 1/4”-20 tripod thread on the underside if you’d rather stand it on a desktop tripod.
Setup is genuinely plug-and-play on both macOS and Windows. You get a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box plus a USB-A adapter. Meet, Zoom, and Teams all pick it up as a standard camera, mic, and speaker with no drivers. The optional AnkerWork desktop app unlocks manual exposure, framing presets, and light adjustments, but you can ignore it entirely.
Call Quality
The 2K sensor is the highlight. Skin tones are natural, autoexposure handles backlight from a window better than most webcams in this price range, and the 95° field of view is wide enough for two people without fisheye distortion. It’s not 4K, but anyone on the other end of a Zoom call is getting compressed 720p anyway.
The 4-mic array is the sleeper feature. AI noise cancellation kills keyboard clatter and the hum of a desk fan without sounding processed, and the beamforming keeps your voice clear even when you lean back. The downward-firing speaker is fine for one person on a call — clear and intelligible — but it won’t fill a conference room.
The Fill Light
The integrated MagicSight light is what sets this apart from a dedicated webcam like the Logitech Brio. It’s not a replacement for a proper key light like an Elgato Key Light Mini, but it lifts shadows enough that you don’t look like you’re broadcasting from a cave on overcast afternoons. You can let it auto-adjust or set brightness and temperature manually.
Who Should Buy This
Buy the B600 if you’re on video calls all day, your current setup is a cluttered mix of webcam, USB mic, and a ring light that never quite sits right, and you’d pay $150 to collapse it all into one clean bar. If you’re a streamer or content creator who needs 4K capture, a dedicated webcam like the Logitech MX Brio with a separate mic will give you more headroom. For regular remote workers who just want to show up to meetings looking and sounding noticeably better, this is one of the best single-device upgrades you can make.
