Verdict

The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a high-value over-ear headphone featuring 40mm double-layer drivers with silk and ceramic diaphragms, supporting Hi-Res Wireless Audio via the LDAC codec and Bluetooth 5.3. Its standout characteristic is an adaptive active noise cancelling (ANC) system that reduces ambient noise by up to 98% across three stages, complemented by an impressive battery life of 50 hours with ANC on and 65 hours with it off. Main pros include its comfortable, foldable design with aluminum alloy hinges, a rapid 5-minute charge providing 4 hours of playback, and multipoint connectivity for two devices simultaneously. However, potential cons include a slightly bulky build that can trap heat during long sessions, occasional sibilance in high-frequency audio, and the lack of an IP rating for water resistance.
