Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Space One is a pair of over-ear headphones featuring 40mm dynamic drivers that support the LDAC codec for Hi-Res wireless audio. Key characteristics include an adaptive active noise cancelling (ANC) system designed to reduce ambient sound by up to 98%, Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint pairing for two devices, and a substantial battery life of 40 hours with ANC enabled or up to 55 hours with it off. Its main pros are the highly customizable EQ via the Soundcore app, excellent price-to-performance ratio, and a comfortable 265g design with 8° rotating ear cups for extended wear. However, cons include a lack of an official IP rating for water resistance, a basic cloth pouch instead of a hard shell case, and reported inconsistencies in ANC performance against certain low-frequency rumbles.

What customers dislike about Anker Soundcore Space One?

  • Standard sound profile is heavily V-shaped with bloated bass that can overpower mids and treble.
  • Microphone quality is often described as poor or 'robotic,' struggling significantly in noisy environments.
  • Lacks a hardshell carrying case, providing only a basic soft drawstring pouch for protection.
  • Build materials are primarily plastic and can feel 'cheap' or creaky compared to higher-end models.
  • Shallow ear cup padding may cause ears to touch the driver housing for some users.
  • No official IP rating for water or sweat resistance, making them risky for heavy gym use or rain.
