If you prioritize comfort and mic quality for gaming or calls, the HyperX Cloud II might be the better choice, also offering a higher build quality. The Soundcore Space One, on the other hand, offers superior active noise cancelling, making it ideal for air travel, and a longer battery life for those who prefer wireless use. The Cloud II will save you some money and is highly suitable for listening to books or podcasts, whereas the Space One offers more comprehensive app controls and better noise isolation, which is helpful in noisy environments.

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."
