Space 2: Anker's Budget ANC Upgrade Delivers Solid Sound and Value
CNET finds the Anker Soundcore Space 2 ($130) a strong value, delivering a sleeker design, improved sound, and better adaptive noise canceling versus the Space One, plus long battery life (up to 50 hours with ANC on, 70 hours with ANC off) and useful features like multipoint Bluetooth, ear-detection, AI voice commands, and HearID EQ. Call quality is mostly good for the wearer but some callers report muffled voices, and the ANC isn’t quite at the level of Sony’s XM6 or Bose QC Ultra Gen 2. Still, at about a quarter of flagship prices, it’s a compelling budget option and even earned a CNET Editors’ Choice.
