Space One Pro | Foldable Over-Ear Headphones

I bought some Q45 headphones that replaced my q30's, i bought my wife some p40i buds, i love all of the individual pairs of headphones and have recommended them to all my friends and work colleagues, so far 7 people at work have also bought Soundcores and they are also impressed, my disappointment was with the aftersales help where the only thing they will help you with is some new cushions for the cans, my headband clip broke on my 45's and after 2 emails to their service department i had no option to purchase the broken parts, i did do one further call where the lady in question has emailed me waiting for the purchase date of the 45's, i will reply but dont expect much because it seems that their is very little aftersales once your warranty has passed, this for me dampens my enthusiasm to purchase more from Anker.....Parts could easily be made available even through a third party outlet. I dont expect to spend £100 or so on headphones every 18 months. Not on here to hate because the damage on my headband may well have been my wifes fault, and apart from that i have been really impressed with their products.....From my understanding the build quality of the space one pros has improved, they have changed the design on the headband clip, so maybe that will be better in the long run.

For what I paid and the application they were paid for was a little disheartening, for use in a busy office environment as a conference headset was an abject failure when there are lots of people behind and around you. this detected and removed from my sound field, unfortunately this is transmitted to the other participants :-(
As a Noise cancelling headset for working in a noisy and persistent environment (Large Server rooms, Lots of machine and HVAC) I managed to blank out a 75-85 dB background and keep my hearing intact excellently.
Turning off the ANC and listening to music is outstanding.
In my humble opinion and for me personally they are a solid pair of headphones for the right Job !

I also own a pair of Q45's with the so called protective case, this is not good as when the they are packed away, they are never flat which causes fatigue in the headband. which ultimately shattered requiring some clingfilm and good old Gaffer/Duct tape to stabilise them. This didn't effect the operation which is still superb, just look a bit taped together !

Both were bought as an experiment for the office environment, which ultimately failed, but every other environment work well.

Amazing sound quality, really sleek, LOVE THEM

We could all right an essay on what we would love and hate , I’ve been a specialist in this area for over 27 years and treated veterans , now as regards the difference between the q45 and space one pro- there is and it’s so evident . I was quite disappointed in the comments as none were constructive , I work within a group that were looking for a company which is still evolving , learning and sometimes they have to experiment - this is progress !! Not a step back

As regards the foldable pouch, again you clearly didn’t shop around as they come with a free case see picture .

Only issue I had was how different the HearID worked but now it works and these guys do at least do updates. I have Bose, beats - because I’m asked to test for veterans and many of there products our agency uses , because they work in the field and off. Buy these with confidence guys - if you want to buy Bose yes you are going to get a different sound , but the battery life with Bose is terrible and other leading brands , personally 300 hours of testing and I actually got 42.37 minutes . Yes it would be better if the app was a touch more user friendly . But the sound from at least 8 of these product best most market leaders . Yes they lack spartial sound , they will do this I’m sure - they have too because it’s becoming the norm.

This headphone is an example of how sometimes technology moves backwards instead of forwards as it should always be.

I have the Space q 45 and the 35 but the 35 went kaput and I needed a replacement in order to have a back up. So i ordered this new Space one headphone. They make a big deal of the Space one being "foldable like no other" but quite frankly I didn't see much difference. Besides , I don't see the importance of this feature.

The NC is better than the NC I have with the Space q 45 but this is the only advantage of the Space over the 45. The space has no information about the battery , no more voice saying 'battery high, medium, low". And no more voice information about the kind of NC . just two weird sounds about NC and i never know which one is NC and which one is not.
Moreover, and very important, is the battey life. They say 60 hours and 40 hours with NC. Not true. Either that or my headphone is faulty because the battery is always ending and i have to charge it constantly. I thought it could be just an impression so I tested it. The battery lasted 31 hours...

It doesn't stop there. This new headphone comes without a case. All you get is a cheap pouch which will not protect your headphone if you put it in a backpack with tools for example. The inclusion or not of a case tells a lot about how much a company cares about their customers and the environment. Case means more durability. No case means more rubbish polluting the planet.

Anker is moving backwards but I am not going with them. I bought this from Amazon but sent it back for a full refund. I am going to look elsewhere for headphones.
