If cost and maximizing battery life are your priorities, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC would be the better choice since they are slightly less expensive and offer a significantly longer battery life for typical use. However, if you prefer the convenience of wireless charging and a shorter charging time, the Soundcore Space One edges out despite their higher price. Choose the JLab for extended listening sessions, particularly during air travel where their longer battery life and active noise cancelling are beneficial. The Soundcore Space One, on the other hand, have the advantage of LDAC support for high-quality audio over Bluetooth and are optimal for Android users due to codec support. Both offer similar sound quality and build, but the JLab may suit those who prioritize cost savings and battery performance, while the Soundcore Space One caters to enthusiasts seeking better audio codec support and wireless charging convenience.

PC Magazine
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."
