The KZ ZSN Pro are budget-friendly earbuds with a decent sound quality and a detachable cable, perfect for users prioritizing affordability and a solid build; however, they lack a microphone for calls and might not be the best for noisy environments since they do not feature active noise cancelling. On the other hand, the Soundcore Space One headphones are more expensive but are over-ear, closed-back with active noise cancelling, better suited for air travel and noisy settings, also featuring good sound and comfort, and a microphone for calls, but they have a higher latency which might not be ideal for gaming or watching TV..

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
"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."
