Soundcore Space 2 Noise-Canceling Headphones Fall to $106.49 at Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart

The Space 2 is the successor to the Space One, which The Verge’s John Higgins considered among the best budget noise-canceling headphones available when it launched in 2023. The newer model carries a $30 price increase over the original but improves on it in several areas, The Verge reports.

Soundcore has upgraded active noise cancellation, particularly for low-frequency sounds such as those from trains and airplane engines. Design changes are intended to deliver more accurate sound, while the headphones retain support for high-resolution LDAC audio and HearID 3.0, which personalizes sound after a series of listening samples.

Battery life is rated at up to 50 hours with active noise cancellation enabled or 70 hours with it switched off, up from 40 and 55 hours on the original. A 3.5mm jack allows wired listening when the battery runs out, and playback pauses automatically when the headphones are removed.
