If budget is a primary concern, the KZ ZSN Pro with Mic provides good overall sound quality and is much more affordable than the Soundcore Space Q45. However, the Soundcore Space Q45 is an over-ear headphone with active noise cancelling and a long battery life, making it better suited for air travel and noisy environments. For gaming and watching TV, the KZ ZSN Pro with its lower latency may offer a better experience, but it's not as comfortable or as portable as the Q45, which also comes with an app that allows for equalizer and control customizations.

"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."

Riley Ballantyne | June 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
