If price is a significant factor, the Sennheiser HD 250BT can be an excellent value, offering good sound quality at a lower cost. However, if active noise cancellation is important for you, especially for use in noisy environments or during travel, the Soundcore Space One might be the better option, despite its higher price. The Soundcore Space One also typically has a more robust feature set, including possibly better battery life and more advanced technology integration. Keep in mind the Sennheiser's brand reputation for sound quality, but balance it against the added features and benefits the Soundcore Space One offers. Give Feedback

Headphone Check

Pete Scholßnagel | 2020
"As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."

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."
