Anker soundcore Space One review

The Space One is soundcore's noise cancelling specialist under $100. The company says its adaptive noise cancelling reduces noise by up to 98% in laboratory conditions, and claims voice reduction twice as strong as the older Life Q30, which matters in offices and cafes where chatter is the main problem. Sound comes from 40 mm dynamic drivers with Hi-Res certification. Battery life is rated at 40 hours with noise cancelling on and 55 hours with it off. For comfort, soundcore lists ear cups that rotate 8 degrees and a soft integrated headband, and there are 5 levels of transparency for hearing your surroundings. The catch is that the cheaper Q31i, at $89.99, now documents adaptive noise cancelling too, along with LDAC and a longer battery, so the Space One's edge comes down to its stronger noise claim. At $99.99 it uses the whole budget.

Who it is for
