The Bose 700 headphones are a considerable investment but offer a better overall sound quality, comfort, and active noise cancelling which is ideal for focused listening and air travel. They also provide a more consistent call quality and longer battery life. On the other hand, the Soundcore Space One headphones, while less expensive, offer a good value with decent sound quality, active noise cancelling, and an excellent built-in control system. They have longer battery life but are not rated as highly for comfort or call quality. So, if budget is not a constraint and you prioritize superior sound and comfort, especially for long flights or calls, the Bose 700 might be the preferred choice. Meanwhile, the Soundcore Space One offers good performance and value for a considerably lower price. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Adam Molina | June 2023
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."

Tim Gideon | September 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
