Exclusive Deal on Anker Soundcore Space A40 Earbuds
The Anker Soundcore Space A40 earbuds are currently priced at just $44.99, a significant drop from their regular price of $79.99. This discount of almost 50% highlights their value as noise-canceling earbuds, which have received accolades such as Editor’s Choice from PCMag and recognition as one of the Best Budget Earphones of 2022.
These earbuds are available in a variety of colors, including black, blue, green, purple, and white. With an IPX4 rating, they offer a snug fit without the need for ear fins. A range of five silicone eartip sizes (ranging from XS to XL) ensures a comfortable fit for everyone. They support AAC, LDAC, and SBC codecs, though AptX enthusiasts might find this lacking. However, for most users, the difference is minimal.
With 10mm dynamic drivers, these earbuds provide an impressive frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz. The deep bass does not sacrifice clarity, even at high volumes, while the treble maintains its crispness. Additionally, the Soundcore app allows customization of the sound settings, with built-in equalizer presets and the option to manually adjust the eight-band EQ to suit individual listening preferences.
Touch controls embedded in the earbud panels are functional, yet can be finicky. They require some time to adapt due to a mild delay from touch to action, as noted in a PCMag review. Default settings include double-tapping the left earbud for play/pause, tapping the right for track advancement, and pressing either to toggle through ANC modes. For personalized controls, volume and navigation adjustments need to be configured in the app.
The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature is commendable for this price point but not without its flaws. While the Space A40 effectively reduces lower frequencies, higher sounds such as conversations or dish clattering might still be partially audible. Fortunately, users can adjust ANC settings via the app between adaptive and manual modes. The battery life performance is quite robust, with around 10 hours of use per charge without ANC, extending to 50 hours with the case. Even with ANC activated, one can expect roughly eight hours of playback—sufficient for everyday usage.
For those seeking better water resistance alternatives, consider the Jabra Elite 7 Active, priced at $179.99, as a viable option.
