Customer Ratings & Reviews

My first impression started with the packaging. Quality packaging shows the brands expectations of their products and I knew the experience would be good. Even the carry pouch is a nice thick canvas mesh material. In the box came a USB “C” charging cable and 3.5” cable for audio so you have the option of wireless or cable. I am glad more venders are making this available to the consumer as I use both depending on my use of the Phones. Now, my initial set up did not go well. I could not pair the Phones to my cell using the app, however, I realized I was using an app that was already on my phone for another Soundcore product, so I updated the app and was on my way to a successful pairing. I also received a firmware update. The sound quality let me hear tonal nuances of instruments and vocals as if I was in the studio with the artist. Very clear sound experience. I did try manual EQ in the app so I could achieve more bass, but was not impressed with the results. I also used the app defaults which include 8 choices. Signature, Bass booster, Classical, Dance, Acoustic, Bass reducer, Podcast and Deep. I was satisfied with these choices. HearID adds another dimension to customize your listening experience. Easy chat is yet another included feature for phone conversations and you will need to enable this feature in the app. I did make some calls and quality was satisfactory. You can also customize the hard buttons on the phones Switching between ANC and Transparency is easy with hard button on the phones. ANC worked great, no complaints. Last of all, Very comfortable fit. I like the large over ear cushions and the pressure on my head is barely there, yet very snug. These Headphones are a Great Value for all that you are receiving with Fit, Comfort, Customizations, Sound Quality, Versatility and styling.

I bought these headphones in October 2023. I've been very happy with them, but today the left earpiece broke off from the frame and is now just dangling. The same thing happened with a lower-end Soundcore pair, but at least it was two years old by then.

These sound deadening over-ear headphones are fantastic! First, they are easy to set up on bluetooth and start using (always a bonus). I work remotely and much of my counseling work is not on video. I also live on a farm, with tractors, bulldozers and livestock, so I always wear headphones rather than earbuds. The soundcore headphones are very lightweight and easily adjustable for different size heads. The left/right cups are labled inside the cup for easy wearing. I really liked that the over-the-ear cups did not grip too tightly as others have done. Instead they felt like just the right tension to surround my ear (over my hair no less) in comfort. I wore them for four hours straight the first day and did not experience any discomfort. I told my clients that I was using new headphones and asked if they could hear various loud noises as they happened and whether my voice was clear. All of them said that they could not hear any outside noises and that they felt like I wa in the room with them as I was speaking. These headphones would be great for anyone who works online in a noisy place, students who are trying to study in a busy coffee shop, and people listening to music. I even paired these with my phone and wore them in my tractor cab and was able to take a call from my SO. Overall, I highly recommend these for those who need to hear what is going on without being distracted by outside noise.

Purchases these in July while on sale. Really nice pickup. I have found these really comfortable because of their light weight. At 99 dollars you are not getting a top of the market sounds, but Best Buy and Amazon have some good choices at 75-150 dollars. I also looked at the Sony 720, Jlab Ult, Sony Ult, Jbl Live 770. These all seemed good too. I found the sound quality of the Space 1 quite good after doing there Hear Id test and choice an eq that I liked. The ANC and Ambient modes were very good. The microphone works very well too both for phone calls and video conferences on Windows 11 notebooks. Regarding negatives, the main thing would be you do get some sound leakage from the plastic earcups. It is not a problem for me, but it may be a problem if you play your music super loud on airplanes.

These headphones broke in 7 months after very light use.

Horrible sound not worth the price I’ll never buy this brand again

These nice looking headphones are very comfortable and are capable of very good sound. If you have normal hearing then achieving that should be relatively simple. However, I do not fall into that category so my route to headphone nirvana was quite a bit more involved. More on that later. After installing the associated SoundCore app from the Google Play Store, getting these phones charged up (USB-C) and connected to the Wi-Fi network is very straightforward. BTW, that charge lasted quite a while for me. And yet that same app is where I spent a lot of time getting the headphones properly configured for my hearing. The first thing that happened was that the app conducted a hearing test in order to create a default sound profile to intall on the headphones. Sadly, I followed that process while wearing my hearing aids for which I should not have needed much of any correction at all. What I should have done is follow that procedure with my hearing aids removed. However, I was able to overcome my mistake by using the app's manual configuration to create custom sound profiles to meet my needs. Now, they sound really good.

I was looking for reasonably priced and reasonably sized earphones for use in the gym but also walking around New York City. For outside, I wanted noise cancellation to cover traffic noise. Over-the-ear headphones are too large and cumbersome. These headphones meet my criteria. They are not perfect: the noise cancellation is good but can't handle very low-pitched noise, like big diesel-engine trucks; because they do not seal over the ear, when it is windy out the wind enters and is amplified. However, the sound quality is good, the noise-cancellation is adequate for most purposes and the on-the-ear design makes them small and lightweight. They do not put pressure on my ears. For the price I paid, they are an excellent compromise.

only after a month the sound has being to skip and not give good audio

Looks: These headphones are sleek black but matte; it looks good like this. The earcups are huge with the typical cushion for your ears. There is a huge "L" and "R" inside the earcups so you can't mess up how you put these on your head! There is also cushion along the band that goes over your head. The cushion stops where the headphones can extend. The cushion on the earcups and around the headband part seem/look cheap compared to some others but it feels nice nonetheless. Like typical, the outer part of the earcup has basic functions. Your functions are based on pressing buttons once, twice or three times, as well as holding down buttons. Doing those things allow for multiple functions for the same button. Power button (hold it down for off/on), when turning it on also tells you the battery level. There is NO Bluetooth button, which is a nice change, because whatever device you are connecting to does the work. Just find it (Soundcore) on your device on the bluetooth settings and hit/tap it and it connects easy peasy. Also, on the outer ear cup is a port for USB-C charging and a port for... wait for it... an aux cable, should you need it or want it. It is not typical to find that option anymore so it's nice to have i guess. The USB-C port allows you to connect the charging cable that comes with it. It's short. Typical. It also comes with an aux cable. The headphones seem comfy but I can tell after some time, my head will need a break. This is not unique to these headphones. It happens with some headphones for me (not all, but some). Note: I can tell by how it feels as soon as I put it on my head/ears. Function: So, you could surely just use the headphones as is, but as it is with every single Bluetooth speaker these days (and many other things), you definitely want to download the Soundcore app so you can take advantage of many many more functions. It is an easy download and sets itself up fairly quickly. Under "My Devices," click on these headphones to get into some functions. You can set levels to noise cancellation. You can just put it on normal (which means NO noise cancellation; and less good sound). You can put it on transparency for if you want to hear voices better. You can go into the sound and use one of many presets for how you want your sound. I changed mine to Bass (it's something-Bass, I can't remember the first word). I like plenty of bass with my music. I checked out all the presets. The Hip Hop preset doesn't make sense. There should always be more base with Hip Hop. But then it gave more bass to R&B. Hmmm... I know who is not making those settings. But that's cool because, you can also make your own EQ settings and even save the settings. I tried this but didn't notice any differences. I probably didn't do something right. Those are the most important functions. There are other things in the app, including updating the firmware of the headphones, which it did upon first time use. Actual sound: I am quite impressed with the sound it put out. It gave pretty good bass and pretty good clarity. I noticed a difference between the sound it gave off when playing music from my phone and the sound it gave off when playing YouTube videos. Music on my phone played well. Music on YouTube was good, but it seems to give off way more highs, making it sound unbalanced. It's decent though. Overall, these headphones are very easy to work with and sound impressively good. Also, you can stay connected to more than one device at a time (I believe it's 2). So I was curious and connected to my laptop and played YouTube vids. While listening, I turned the Bluetooth on on my phone (I generally keep it off) and just hit the Soundcore. My YouTube stayed playing. I paused the YouTube and hit play on the song on my phone and it played. While it was playing, I was more curious, and hit play on the YouTube vid. The sound didn't come through because I was still listening to the song on my phone. I expected that to happen, but I wanted to see (hear). Everything is all good with these headphones. I would recommend these headphones. Oh, it also comes with a little baggie to put the headphones in. Peace.

I have a set of Anker Soundcore Life Tune XR and I wanted to get a new headphone set for my kids. Since I've enjoyed the Soundcore line, I thought the Soundcore Space One sat a decent price point for features. I've been playing around with the Anker Soundcore Space One for a few days and have enjoyed them. In the box, you get the headphones, a drawstring bag instead of a case, a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm headphone cable and a short USB-A to USB-C cable for charging. The headphones themselves seem constructed very well. On the left ear cup there is the power button which also doubles as the Bluetooth button, a Noise Cancellation button, the USB-C port and the headphone jack. The headphone jack is a change over my Soundcore Life Tune XR which had it on the right ear cup. The newest physical feature is the inclusion of a sensor inside the left ear cup that detects if the headset is on your head. There is a protective film over the sensor that you need to remove if you plan to utilize this sensor. The right ear cup on the Space One just has the volume rocker button and a play/pause button. As I picked up the Space One headphones, I could tell there was less motion available than my Life Tune XR. The ear cups on the Space One swivel vertically with about 10 mm of travel whereas the Life Tune XR has about 14.5 mm of travel. The front to back rotation for both sets seem to be the same, however the Space One seems to have a little more friction. Pairing to my phone was easy. It pairs just like any other Bluetooth device. In order to change the sound profile, button function and establish a sound listening volume you need to use the Soundcore app on your mobile device. Some might find it disappointing, but the Space One does not have NFC for pairing as the Life Tune XR has. Sound has been impressive right out of the box. I find the Soundcore Signature Audio profile gives a nice clear treble and bass was nice and emphasized. There are several audio profiles to choose from, but I came back to the Soundcore Signature profile. There is also a HearID Sound. It takes a couple minutes to set up, but it conducts its own audio test and provides an equalizer curve that is customized for your hearing. There are 3 mics with AI algorithm that helps others hear you. The other person couldn't tell I was on a headset, but I felt a little isolated with the noise cancelling on, which I feel is normal. Bluetooth connection was nice and strong. I could walk to the other side of my house with a few walls in between and I didn't drop a single note. I can wear these headphones for several hours and I didn't feel fatigued. They are quite comfortable. There were two aspects that disappointed me with these Anker headphones. First is the power on/off control. To turn on and off, you need to hold the button a few seconds until the LED indicator changes or, if you have the headphones on, wait until you hear an audio prompt, I found that to turn on may be about 3 seconds, but to turn off is more like 6 seconds. I much prefer Bose's implementation with a slide switch with a Bluetooth toggle. The second aspect is that you cannot charge and listen via Bluetooth at the same time. This disappointed me greatly. If I am running low on battery, I want the ability to charge while I'm still listening so have less interruptions. As soon as you plug in the USB-C power, Bluetooth and noise cancellation shut off. The only solution I've found for continued listening while charging is to use an audio cable. Just make sure you find long enough power and audio cords to do your work comfortably. Battery life is advertised at 40 hours with ANC on and 55 hours with ANC off. You also get 4 hours of play time with 5 minutes of charging. In my short testing, it seems to live up to the advertised hours. Overall, I will probably stick with my Life Tune XR while my kids take the Space One. I like having more travel motion in the ear cups and slightly easier movement. At this price point, I wouldn't be surprised if I decided to pick up another set just to have a comfortable wireless headphone set at my office and just throw them in a drawer for whenever I want some music.

Sounds like trash. Returned after 6 days. Should have got the note expensive Sony ones.

I put off getting headphones for years because they were always uncomfortable, but I broke down and discovered these. VERY comfortable. VERY good sound. I lovwe them! The buttons take a LOT of memory (my memory) to keep separated. I kept getting them mixed up which made for a not very pleasant trial period. After 5 days of use, I still do not have the functions down. To take a star away for this issue may be unfair but Geez!!! I has a couple of co-workers try them as well, and they were well received. They agreed on the comfort level- all very comfortable and excellent sounding. Charging is fast and connection was easy. These are much easier to find then my earbuds. but in saying that, they are more cumbersome. The charging cord is very short so no listening while charging. I would recommend these for anyone, HOWEVER being noise cancelling, and they really are, I can imagine some kid wearing them while walking down the street wearing these and not paying attention to traffic.

Anker used to make fairly good budget headphones so I was excited to try out the Soundcore Space Ones. There are ALOT of reviews out there. I believe Anker was aggressive with the sponsored reviews this time around. This is concerning. Out of the box, there are not any surprises. The formula for headphones these days are the same for all brands these days. Shiny headphones that fold for some portability. The build quality seems decent. The frame is all plastic but seem heftier than you think. Alot of these headphones just put in random metal to increase the weight to trick people into thinking they are higher quality than they actually are. Honestly, only time will tell how durable these actually are. Connectivity is easy. I immediately connected to my phone and played a bunch of songs. I have to say, the sound profile immediately out of the box was just wonky. The mids and trebles just don't hit the spot. It sounded tinny to me. Alot of the reviews say you can customize the EQ but the average person buying budget headphones will not be playing with the EQ settings. Even with playing with the EQ, I could not quite get it to sound the way I wanted. The ANC is decent for the price. I hate that phrase but there really isn't any other way to phrase it. It struggles with cancelling out lower frequency sounds to the point that my wife thought the ANC was not on when I was talking to her. If you raise the volume, then you can drown out most things. All in all, these are decent budget headphones. If you are willing to pay just a tad more, then you can get significant jump in quality with other options. I do think alot of the sponsored influencers were very generous with their reviews.

These are incredibly comfortable headphones, and have a ton of features in the app. The noise cancelling and battery life are both top notch.

Good sound quality and comfort. Great headphones for the money. Great battery life as well

THESE ARE DEFINITELY SUPERIOR TO THE STANDARD SBC CODEC OF BLUETOOTH, THANKS TO LDAC SUPPORT FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AUDIO VIA WIRELESS TRANSMISSION AND THE FACT THEY CAN BE USED EITHER WIRELESSLY OR WITH A WIRED CONNECTION! BEST $100 I'VE EVER SPENT - POSSIBLY EVEN BETTER THAN THE BEATS STUDIO PRO (WHICH DON'T SUPPORT HI-RES BLUETOOTH AUDIO, ONLY SBC OR AAC)! :)

The Soundcore - Space One – Black is a phenomenal noise cancelling headset. The first thing done was to install the soundcore Space One app from Google Play. It is truly a plug-in-play device. Once I pressed and held the power button on for three seconds, it immediately began to pair with my phone through Bluetooth. I tapped soundcore Space One and was connected. An automatic firmware update through the soundcore Space One app was processed. The soundcore Space One app controls all of the great functionality of the headsets sound. With the app I can control ambient sound modes (Noise Cancellation, Normal, Transparency Mode), adjust the EQ settings, apply Sound Effects, set Wind Noise Reduction, enable Easy Chat, check battery level, etc. The ear pads are extremely soft and cushiony. My ears fit inside the ear pads with no tightness or discomfort. They can be adjusted to fit tight or loose, depending on your preference. The soundcore Space One app gives my ears an experience similar to viewing a movie in an IMAX theater. I can differentiate amongst all the different sounds clearly. Included with the Soundcore - Space One – Black headset is a 3.5mm AUX cable for listening to a wired device. The Soundcore - Space One – Black headset is a plus for me.

I have a few other over-ear noise cancelling headphones: TLDR is that these are the cheapest model I've used and they do demonstrate that: but if you want to spend less than $100 on a pair of good over the ear noise cancelling headphones I would pick these. The noise cancelling is adequate, it's not the best I've had but it better than my premium ANCs from 2018. I didn't like the out of the box sound balance, and I did notice that the noise cancelling isn't as effective in the treble ranges so it can be hard to hear that part of your media as well. The overall sound quality was less than either of my other over the ears, and I noticed but being reasonable these are roughly 1/2 the price of any other model I have now and while the others are better, "twice" as good is a very subjective threshold that I don't think my other pairs meet. I do think you need relatively small ears for these to be a choice for you, I found the cups uncomfortable and the driver rubber my ear but my wife who is more petite didn't have any problems. I do want to acknowledge that they weren't very effective for calls, if I was anywhere but my on quiet home it was difficult to hear me and overall the microphone quality was worse than if I was just on my phone, I heard everyone else well though.

These won't blow you away with their sound quality, but for the retail price they are an excellent option for ANC wireless headphones for everyday use for those people who don't feel like spending several hundred dollars on ANC headphones. The overall sound quality is fairly balanced, but these don't get extremely loud. You may find that you have the volume turned up higher than other similar headphones you have used in the past. This is kind of par for the course for Soundcore wireless headphones. The bass capability on these is decent, but they won't be the headphones to pick if you really want bumping bass. The ANC on these headphones is above average in this price range. It won't completely block out the outside noise, but it does a good job of lessening the world around you to a certain degree. These also have an ambient mode that allows you to hear the world around you, which I find I use as much or more than the ANC. The sound quality doesn't change much when the ANC is turned on, which seems to be an issue with some of the lesser priced ANC headphones. These are also co.parible with the Soundcore app.
