We finally have an update to the Soundcore Space One that launched two and a half years ago. At MWC 2026, Soundcore has announced the Space 2, which will be available in the US on April 21st in three colors \u2014 linen white, jet black, and seafoam green \u2014 for $129.99. That\u2019s $30 more than the Space One\u2019s original price.<\/p>\n

According to Soundcore, the Space 2 have had a full-band noise cancellation upgrade with the focus of those improvements on the low-frequency sounds we all generally use ANC headphones to block \u2014 things like airplane, train, and bus engine sounds while traveling. The Space 2 use the same number of microphones as the Space One for noise canceling, instead relying on optimized mic placement and structure and materials improvements for the boost in performance.<\/p>\n

Redesigned 40mm drivers incorporate dual layers in their design. There\u2019s a silk diaphragm with metal ceramic that supposedly results in faster transient response \u2014 the driver\u2019s ability to respond to sudden sound quickly and accurately \u2014 with better balanced sound reproduction. The Space One had great sound performance for the price, but I\u2019m all for any improvement to sound performance accuracy. Like the Space One, the Space 2 will support LDAC high-res audio.<\/p>\n

The headphones connect wirelessly over Bluetooth 6.1, although they do not support Auracast<\/a> transmissions \u2014 an unfortunate exclusion. There\u2019s also a 3.5mm jack for a wired connection.<\/p>\n

Battery life has been increased to up to 50 hours with ANC and 70 hours with ANC off. This is up from 40 hours with ANC and 55 hours without ANC with the Space One headphones. With a five-minute charge the Space 2 get an additional four hours of listening.<\/p>\n

The Space 2 will include many of the features found on the Space One. You can use HearID 3.0 to go through a series of sound samples to tune the headphones\u2019 sound to your preferences. It worked well for me on the Space One to get them closer to a sound I liked, with a bit of the edge taken off the higher frequencies. There\u2019s also a sensor that detects when you remove the headphones and stops playback so you don\u2019t miss any of your music or podcast. They once again come with a cloth bag that matches the color of the headphones instead of a case, which is one change I wish Soundcore had made, as the cloth bag doesn\u2019t offer as much protection if you tend to throw your headphones into your backpack or bag.<\/p>\n

The Soundcore Space One were among the best budget ANC headphones when they came out, and still hold up to more recent releases. But with the bump in price to over $100 for the Space 2, there\u2019s a bit more expectation on them. ANC performance continues to improve \u2014 and products get cheaper \u2014 across manufacturers, so the Soundcore Space 2 has some competition from companies like Sony, EarFun, and JLab. If the ANC on the Space 2 stands up to current budget headphones and they still sound as good and are as comfortable as the Space One, you can expect to see the new Soundcore Space 2 on many recommendation lists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We finally have an update to the Soundcore Space One that launched two and a half years ago.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[964,330,27958,85,46,69526,43,920,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-316467","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-audio","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-headphones","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-mwc-2026","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-tech","16":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
