The Sennheiser CX300S earbuds come at a somewhat lower price compared to the Soundcore Space One headphones and provide a wired connection with good overall sound quality and noise isolation, making them suitable for music listening and commuting. However, the Soundcore Space One offers active noise cancelling and a wireless option with better comfort due to their over-ear design, which may be more suitable for longer listening sessions and air travel. They also have a longer battery life, app features such as equalizer and controls customization, and are foldable for added portability. If gaming or watching TV are important, neither has low latency so both may have a delay between audio and video. Give Feedback

Major HiFi
Carroll Moore | April 2019
"Sennheiser offers impressive bang for your buck when it comes to the CX 300S. Built like a tank and sounding surprisingly good for such a budget-minded earphone, the CX 300S out-classes many of its would-be competitors. Functional but beautiful, it’s the perfect in-ear listening solution for anyone who wants to hear everything and look good doing it."

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."
