Based on the comparison, the Shokz OpenMove, being bone conduction headphones with an open enclosure, are better suited for outdoor activities where you need to stay aware of your surroundings. They offer a secure fit with ear hooks and are both sweatproof and dustproof, making them ideal for exercise. However, they have lower overall sound quality and are not recommended for immersive music experiences. In contrast, the Soundcore Space One headphones, with a closed over-ear design, provide better noise isolation and are favored for air travel due to higher comfort, better build quality, and active noise cancelling. They also support a lossless codec, promising higher sound fidelity. These features make them suitable for more focused listening environments but tend to be bulkier and less suitable for exercise. If you prioritize sound quality for music and prefer over-ear comfort, the Soundcore Space One is the better choice, despite being somewhat more expensive. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Lily Katz | May 2023
"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."

"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."
