soundcoreby Anker, Space One - Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Enhanced Human Voice Reduction, 40H ANC Playtime, LDAC Hi-Res Wireless Audio, Comfortable Fit, Bluetooth 5.3, App Control

edit: had these for a while now and they’re still great, sadly the shock absorption is not good and effects the sound, so these aren’t really good for wearing in cars or public transportBought these instead of shelling out for the Sony xm5’s as i get overstimulated and needed a good noise cancelling headphones. Looked on tiktok and watched some non-paid reviews of these headphones, and decided to order. Can safely say these are worth the price. They feel sturdy and weighty, and so they feel great quality. The colour is adorable and it comes with a nice bag (though i have ordered a case from the same brand for them for extra protection.) They also fold up, and flatten to make for easy travelling.As for noise cancelling, I am blown away. I haven’t had any noise cancelling headphones before, but these seem like an excellent place to start for anyone who has sensory problems like me and needs a cheaper alternative to some of the bigger brands. The sound is great too, not tinny or echoey like some headphones can be.Haven’t had chance to test the battery life yet, but i’m sure they will be suitable for me. I highly recommend.

These are excellent headphones which come with their own app for equalising. My app didn't work the first day which became evident when I tried to set up the personalised EQ and couldn't hear any difference in any of the sound tests, the bass boost also didn't seem to work but the second day the app was working perfectly although you need to be a real audiophile to hear the differences in the personal EQ tests! Mine came back with an EQ the exact opposite of the standard U shaped ones so I reckon they have a native V tuning and I prefer it flatter! I reckon either the phones or their app just needed a restart to get it going properly. Now all the available EQs are working and sound different to each other! The pause when taken off gimmick is based on a light sensor in the left cup and doesn't work if it's dark! Cupping the left ear for boosted transparency works brilliantly if not immediately but can also happen when adjusting the headband. The return to music after removing your hand is far quicker. Both features can be turned off as can the voice telling you how the battery is doing when you switch them on or what mode you're now in with the ANC button which won't toggle to normal by default and this option has to be added in settings. The noise cancellation works better on deep noises than high ones. The sound leakage is far better than the Q series which were so bad you might as well not bother wearing headphones on a train or bus! Comfort, I wore them pretty much all day and they were fine, headband could be wider but it's very well padded although like bike saddles, no amount of padding can make up for some extra width! Luckily they're light enough it doesn't really matter.

As an audio enthusiast always on the hunt for the perfect pair of headphones, I've thoroughly tested the Soundcore Space One, and I'm ready to break down this sonic companion. 🎵Right out of the box, these headphones impressed me with their sleek design and promise of adaptive noise cancellation. The 98% noise reduction is no marketing gimmick - these headphones are seriously good at blocking out the world. Whether I was working in a noisy café or trying to focus on a crowded commute, the Space One created a blissful bubble of silence.Sound quality is where these headphones truly shine. The LDAC Hi-Res wireless audio delivers a rich, detailed soundscape that puts many pricier competitors to shame. The 40mm dynamic drivers produce crisp highs and deep, resonant lows that make every genre of music feel alive. 🔊Battery life is another standout feature. 40 hours of playtime with active noise cancellation is remarkable, and the additional 55 hours without ANC means you can practically forget about charging. The 8° rotating ear cups provide a surprisingly comfortable fit, adapting nicely to different head shapes and preventing that uncomfortable pressure build-up during long listening sessions.However, it's not a perfect audio utopia. While the noise cancellation is impressive, some users might find the "enhanced human voice reduction" a bit aggressive, potentially making conversations sound slightly muffled. The app control, while comprehensive, can be a bit overwhelming for those who prefer a more straightforward listening experience.The build quality feels premium, and at this price point, the Soundcore Space One offers exceptional value. It's not quite audiophile-level equipment, but for most users seeking a great all-around wireless headphone experience, these hit a sweet spot.Pros:- Exceptional noise cancellation- Impressive 40-hour battery life- Hi-Res audio quality- Comfortable, adaptable design- Great value for moneyCons:- App can be complex- Voice reduction might be too aggressive for some- Not quite audiophile-grade sound

I've tried other brands in this price range and nothing compares to SoundCore headphones. The app makes a massive difference to the sound quality. I've owned SoundCore headphones before and the sound quality seems to get even better as the speakers get used. However, unlike the competition, SoundCore headphones sound good out of the box and are great value for money.Charging times are really good and the battery lasts for days of heavy use. The functions are easy to use. I went for the black colour version and they look good.The design is almost 100% plastic. My previous SoundCore headphones still work but the foam padding became completely exposed as the glue used to hold them in place deteriorated. It's a shame as they still sound great but they're not very durable. So SoundCore headphones aren't the best build quality but bearing in mind the price, this can be forgiven.The touch to speak function is very handy but I've rarely used it so far.
