Anker Soundcore Space D1402
88 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The Soundcore Space 2 headphones have impressed users with their exceptional comfort, long battery life, and strong noise cancellation for the price. While the default sound profile may need EQ tweaking via the app, the overall audio quality, build, and features like multipoint and LDAC make them a great value. Minor drawbacks include warmth during long sessions and a lack of water resistance.
