The Soundcore Space One headphones are often less expensive than the Soundcore Space Q45 and are thus a budget-friendlier option. If you are looking for a device with a longer battery life and prioritize calls and meetings, watching TV and video, or listening to books and podcasts, the Soundcore Space Q45 may be worth the additional cost as they have better scores in these areas. Conversely, if you're on a budget and primarily need headphones for air travel or music listening, the Space One would suffice as their scores are adequate for these uses. Both models have active noise cancelling and are similar in build quality and comfort, but the Space Q45 has a slightly better overall sound quality. If microphone quality is important for you, the Space Q45 also has a superior mic. It's also worth noting that both support wireless connectivity and come with a detachable cable. Give Feedback

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."

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."
