If you’ve been considering a pair of noise-canceling headphones without wanting to break the bank, the Anker Soundcore Space One Pro may just be the answer. Currently priced at $129.99 on Woot for the next three weeks or until supplies last, this offer represents a savings of $70 below Amazon’s current listing. These headphones are new and come with an 18-month warranty from Anker. Prime members enjoy free shipping, while others will incur a $6 delivery charge. Note that Woot only ships to the contiguous United States, so residents of Alaska and Hawaii will not be able to benefit from this promotion.

The design of the headphones is a thoughtful blend of comfort and portability. Constructed with a combination of plastic and metal, they remain lightweight yet sturdy. The faux leather lining on the earcups and headband ensures a comfortable fit without excessive pressure. They are designed to fold inwards and the earcups pivot flat for convenient storage in bags, though it’s worth mentioning that they come with a soft pouch instead of a rigid case for added protection. Charging is via USB-C, and a 3.5mm jack allows for wired listening. Users can customize controls on both earcups through the Soundcore app, enabling adjustments for ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), transparency, and regular sound modes.

Performance Insights

The Space One Pro demonstrates impressive performance. Equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers, it offers sound frequencies ranging from 20Hz to 20kHz. Initially, the audio profile is bass-heavy, but adjustments can be made to achieve a more balanced sound through an extensive EQ offered in the app, which includes various presets and manual settings. While the active noise cancellation may not compete directly with high-end models from Bose or Sony, it effectively minimizes low-frequency noises (like those from aircraft engines), according to a PCMag review. However, higher-pitched sounds or abrupt loud noises can occasionally break through. Additionally, there is support for LDAC technology, allowing users with compatible Android devices to experience superior Bluetooth audio quality. Battery performance is commendable as well, lasting up to 55 hours without ANC and 40 hours with it activated, making it suitable for a full week of use without requiring a recharge.
