If sound quality is a priority, particularly for listening to music, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 offers superior overall sound quality, a more expansive soundstage, and higher comfort, making it better suited for extended listening sessions. However, these are typically pricier than the Soundcore Space One. The Soundcore Space One, while less expensive, provides a less immersive sound quality which might be noticeable during music and TV consumption but has comparable noise isolation quality for travel. Both offer active noise canceling and are similar in battery life, but the Sennheiser has a slight edge in battery duration. Neither is specifically sweat or dustproof, so they might not be the best option for intense workouts. If you often make calls or attend meetings, the Momentum 4 has a better microphone quality. Keep in mind that neither is optimized for gaming due to latency issues. Lastly, if portability is key, the Sennheiser is slightly larger when carried around. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Christian Thomas | January 2023
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."

"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."
