Anker Soundcore Space One, Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling Headphones

Absolutely love my new headphones. The sound straight out of the box was amazing, I was literally in my own dance club bopping around my room, really impressed. You can also go onto the app to play around with other sounds if you want to. The headphones are so comfortable to wear and the beige and gold colour is so beautiful. Love that you can stop the music to talk just by putting your hand onto the left side. Also music will stop if you remove the headphones. I like the noise cancelling feature too. I can’t fault anything about the Space One headphones. Like that you get a bag to store them in. Great purchase.

Had this product for about a year and a half now, still working extremely well. No tears in the padding for the ears and still nice and cushioned. Charging is still great, I use them almost daily. Definitely worth the money for me.

I've had my Soundcore Q30's for 4 years, they are great value for money, in fact nearly impossible to beat for the price. Now, they are physically deteriorating, battery life fading etc, so I hoped to get both a replacement AND a big upgrade. I researched and researched but came to the conclusion that you need to spend £200+ to get a significant upgrade and - I didn't want to spend that, so lowered my sights to a replacement with a slight upgrade. I read reviews of the Space One Pro and a couple said to save your money and get the Space One instead. They came on sale at £55 and I thought I can't lose, right? This review is a comparison with my Q30s, and I tested them back to back with the same songs etc, and I also asked my wife for a 2nd opinion but first for reference: I have tried (borrowed) the Sony XM3s, XM4s which are straight up better than these and the Q30, especially the noise cancelling but by default they have a more neutral (boring?) sound. I also tried the cheaper Sony CH720N and sent them straight back, they were more comfortable but Q30s sounded better, and they were not a patch on the XMs. So to the Soundcore Space One, they are a fair bit bigger (see photo Space One's in white), which was good for me as I have a big head and massive ears (yep, a real catch). This makes for better physical sound isolation and they're slightly more comfortable than the Q30s. They don't feel heavy and certainly not heavier than the Q30s. One obvious downgrade, they have a drawstring bag not a hard case but mine rarely leave the house so I wasn't bothered. First the good, + The app is better with more features. It compares more favourably with the Sony, with a premium HearID feature that "autotunes" the EQ to your hearing. + They have wear detection which you can calibrate in the app and it works well, its not failed me yet. + The noise cancelling is slightly better, decent but not close to Sony level, my wife concluded the same. She noticed constant white noise with the Q30s, these are virtually silent. It has adaptive noise cancelling but I set it to 5/5 levels manually. + You can use them wired and the noise cancelling and EQ still works and therefore sound much better than the Q30 which turn off when plugged in. + The microphone is a another minor improvement, its a tad clearer for calls. + Transparency feature is somewhat improved, sounding less like you're in a bucket. Neutral/didn't use - Multipoint - Connecting my phone and PC works same as before - LDAC high res audio - Haven't tried yet as I was concerned about affecting multi point or connection reliability. - Easychat Touch - Call me a luddite but I prefer to use the button, works fine though. - Easychat Talk - Haven't tried (I talk to myself too much) - Build quality - They are very similar build quality, I expect them to last as long as the Q30s - Charging - I thought these were fast charging, but they seem to charge as per the Q30s i.e. 4 hours from nearly flat. Now the bad, - Sound quality: big disappointment, these are a downgrade in sound quality! The Q30s sound clearer, and more balanced for all types of music and also podcasts. The bass overpowers the other frequencies even on spoken word making everything sound boomy and dull. I like the default "Soundcore Signature" EQ on Q30s but its awful on these. You can't completely tune the bass out with EQ either, and that makes a mockery of the HearID feature too. You can just about make it acceptable but I nearly sent them back. FYI...My wife agreed about the bass heavy sound but once tuned felt they were on a par. - Battery Life - Like my Q30s I use these daily for work, Teams meetings, music and podcasts. My Q30s would easily last a week and only recently started fading to 4-5 days. Out of the box these are 5 days, so nearly the same battery life as my 4 year old Q30s which they replace BUT - 5 days is still pretty good! Sound quality is arguably the most important feature so I think these are actually more 3 star headphones despite the other features which are pretty good. However I paid less for these than I did for my Q30s 4 years ago, so for value they are 4 star and overall I'd say a worthy replacement but not quite an upgrade.

I purchased these after getting fed up of my Sony XMH003 headphones which keep refusing to charge. I was almost about to begrudgingly spend another £230.00 on a replacement but saw these and the excellent reviews. I know Anker are a great brand and so I thought it was worth purchasing these on the off-chance the reviews were correct. I am blown away by how good these are. I'm sure that these probably won't compare to the high end alternatives but these are as good (if not better) than my Sony pair. They're extremely comfortable to wear, the audio is clear and enjoyable and set up was a breeze. I haven't tried the ANC yet but I have high hopes. The Sound Core app also provides white noise and AI brainwave audio. The controls are easy and you can adjust your audio profile using the app (similar to Sony). They also look great. Bit disappointed that it doesn't come with a hard protective foam case, but even after buying the Anker case (£30), it's still considerably cheaper than Sony. Hopefully it's more reliable too! I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love these. They also fold up neatly like my Sony pair which was another selling point.

I bought these for work as I am autistic and struggle with the noisy environment. I really like these headphones, the material is soft and smooth and doesn't cause any discomfort for me or hurt my ears like over hear headphones usually do for me. The fit is good with not too much pressure and you can flip the ear phonr bits so it's comfortable to wear around your neck. They sound great when playing music and there is a bass boost option too. The noise cancelling isn't great, for some reason I have one specific colleague who's voice it just doesn't work on, but it really gets rid of buzzing/electrical noises which is the main thing I hate. You can still hear stuff like traffic noise etc, but it softens the noise which I find helpful. There is also a transparenvy mode so you can still hear what's going on around you if you want, although to me this defeats the point of headphones a bit. They also can automatically pause your music when you take them off which I like. The cons are that the play button is a bit stiff on mine, and they also pause your music or noise cancelling whenever you speak which can be really useful for work or if you're in a shop etc but I find that they do it if I even cough, sniff, or even breath too loudly which is a bit annoying.

Pretty great value for money. They come in a nice case, they fit great and theyre comfy for longer sessions. Battery life seems pretty good, my wife hasnt moaned about them running out of battery at all lol. The music quality is great for this money, theyre definitely punching way above their price point.

They’re ok and sound is good, but they aren’t the most comfortable if warn for more than 20 mins in my experience! The band irritated to top of my head so definitely needed more padding. The bass seems to be better when noise cancelling is on, and when you turn off noise cancelling the music sounds flatter and less base. But they do swivel and fold so the inclusion of the carrying bag is great! All in all good headphones for the price.

I was looking for wireless noise cancelling headphones at a reasonable price. Someone recommended that I try this brand. I’m glad I went for it, I’m truly impressed. Noise cancellation is exceptional, battery/charge lasts long (I only charged it once in three weeks), audio is rich and detailed. These go over my ears which is what I wanted (instead of sitting on top of the ears ). The ear cushions are Plush and super Comfortable. You can pair the headphones with two devices simultaneously, which is incredibly convenient for switching between my phone and tablet. Overall, I’m very happy with Soundcore by Anker Space One headphones. I’ll be checking out their other products too.
