by Anker Space Q45 Adaptive Noise Cancelling Headphones, Reduce Noise By Up to 98%, Ultra Long 50H Playtime, App Control, Hi-Res Sound with Details, Bluetooth 5.3, Ideal for Traveling

I bought this in 2023 and I can safely say this is probably the single best purchase I ever made from Amazon. I originally found them through rtings comparing the best headphones when it came to noise cancelling, these were near the top but were on the cheaper side compared to their peers (e.g Sony). But don't mistake cheap for poor: these are very well made, high quality headphones with some of the best noise cancelling on the market, and almost certainly in the absolute upper tier at this price point. The transparency mode (for when you want to let outside noise in) works fantastically, but wow, the difference once you turn on Noise Cancelling is like you're in your own world: absolutely perfect if you're the type of person who just needs to tune out from all the noise around you. After about 2 years of constant use, the ear pads began to give way. I emailed Anker about purchasing new ear pads, and then sent me a whole new headset for free. I believe this is what we call "a win". They're comfy to wear, have a very length battery life (unless you use LDAC, which in fairness is not really necessary, but even then it comfortably lasts a couple days of constant use). The in-built mic is sufficient enough.

Amazing! Love them I use these to watch UHD Blu Ray movies to hear the true Studio quality sound No noise from the fridge fan or street or neighbors, the ANC is amazing I bought them to ONLY Watch Netflix Prime , and mainly watch UHD Blu Ray Movies to hear that amazing LDAC & Studio quality For the QUALITY FIT & What they can physically do there is NO close 2’nd or even a Third! You won’t be disappointed. Stop looking at WAY overpriced headphones when the best you can get is wireless ( Bluetooth studio quality ) there is nothing better than that These have that and more! At such a low cost feel amazing so comfy , amazing value for money , and they look beautiful. The memory foam feels amazing on my ears and head & others ( I let others use them they love them too ) The buttons are so easy to lean in ten mins you will know every function. You do not even need the app but do download it Just amazing for what your getting and the price and how long they last, All day long. I got the blue and I love the colour of them I highly recommend!

Having tried Bose headphones on a recent flight I was really impressed with the noise cancellation and quality of sound - less impressed when I later discoved how expensive they were!! I bought these Anker Space Q45 headphones on the basis they were less than half the price of the Bose headhones, assuming that they would be of a lower quality. They are - but, in my opinion not by a lot! The battery life is excellent - from experience around 35 hours in use. The noise cancellation is not as good as the Bose headphones but for me adequate in most situations. The biggest flaw for me is the size of the headset, even reduced as far as possible they are slightly too big for my head. In short - in terms of bang for buck an excellent buy.

As with most things I'm going to purchase, I did some in depth research on the Q45s. A lot of people online will criticise the sound quality on these, they said it's a downgrade to the Q35s, they're bigger, they stick out more, they're heavier. I decided to see for myself. I compared both products side by side. For a couple of days, I just couldn't decide which ones to keep. The 45 look better, more modern than the 35 but the 35 just sounded more bassy. I like good quality bass so I was leaning towards them, the bass is nice and on some songs, it felt like the bass went right through you, they sounded great in my opinion. I physically compared them side by side, the 45s don't stick out any more than the 35s and if they do, it's minimal (we're talking mm) as you can see on the 2nd pic. The ear cups are larger though as shown in the 3rd photo. Both are very comfortable to wear, none of them have a real big clamping force (as suggested by a couple of Youtube videos). Some differences to note: - The 45's have bluetooth 5.3 whereas the 35s have 5.0 - 35's support LDAC but nowhere on the app is there the option to turn it on and off, however, you can do this on your phone settings but not anywhere else. The 45s allow you to turn this on/off in the app. - The app features are limited on the 35s as you can see on the screenshot, there's no option to view your connected devices or auto turn off the headphones after x amount of time - 35's allow you to touch the side of the headphones to go in to transparency mode (I thought this was touch and hold and when you release it goes back to ANC but it doesn't, it just changes mode). Pretty pointless as you can do this with a click of a button anyway - 35s have the feature for the music to pause when you take the headphones off BUT it's intermittent, when using it with LDAC, the music kept pausing every few seconds on it's own. I guess Anker couldn't perfect this which is why they removed it from the later 45s - The noise cancellation is better on the 45s and the sound that leaks from the headphones is far better on the 45s I needed to decide between the two so I went to Youtube and listened to 'Ultimate headphone test' and checked both headsets, there wasn't a huge difference in the 2 but clarity seemed better on the 45. I then listened to 'Best 8D song EVER experience with headphones 2021' on YT and this made my decision... The 35's sounded nice, bassy as I expected, however, the 45s just gave me an unreal experience, they opened up the sounds, the clarity was fantastic and crisp. The only way I can explain it is, I actually felt like I was in the room with the music playing out loud. This along with the fact that the 45s are newer, better app experience, better ANC, newer bluetooth version etc all swayed me to keep the 45s. Price wise, the 45 at the time or writing this are £97, the 35s are £119 or £95 refurbished so difference wasn't major between the 2. Sound of course is subjective and the above is based on my experience only but I am happy with my purchase. I hope my review will helps others who are torn between choices.

Product: The product arrived quickly & was beautifully packaged, containing a very nice carry-case, USB cable and 3.5mini jack cable for wired use. 'Out Of The Box Experience': My previous headphones were the MPOW H7 BH162A model with an ok evenly balanced sound with no ANC or app. The Anker Space Q45 headphones were, for me, extremely easy to connect via Bluetooth to my main device, download the app and learn how to use the ANC. The controls, I find are easy to use with both a Power & ANC button on the left side. On the right, are volume & play/pause buttons. Sound Quality (out of the box): All of my listening is experienced through my Sony Xperia xz3 mobile. For Classical, Jazz, soul, Funk, Dance, Techno, Rock, & acoustic. App used: Poweramp music player with full high quality EQ. For me, the sound quality is superb. The sound is rich which deep rich base, a wide/well defined midrange & clean/crisp trebles. Unless you need studio recording quality... the Anker Space Q45 way more than do the job. The Soundcore app, I find is easy to use, being able to adjust the sound with the EQ & fine tune the ANC. Note: Sound quality will be dependant on the quality of the recording, the device used or the quality of the broadcast sound from streaming apps & websites. Build & Design Quality: The build & design quality in my opinion is excellent. I have a medium to large size head, they fit me very well, are very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. my partner, for whom I also purchased a pair, has a slightly smaller head but still they fit well & she is very happy with them. I have seen & watched video reviews saying that the build quality is poor & that the materials degrade in a short time. This product is a high quality beautifully designed piece of electronic equipment... & not meant to be stretched to breaking point, slung into a rucksack or constantly used FOR hours & hours on-end without being cleaned regularly. (Baby Wipes) I feel are the best. Noise Cancelling Performance: This is my first experience of ANC. I travel on the London underground to work (the noise of which, below ground, can reach 125Db, add to this the sound pressure). I normally use the 3M E-A Rsoft FX earplugs (which sit much closer to the eardrum) & really do block out nearly all aggressive sound. As a first experience, for me the ANC worked well above ground with the ANC dampening most harsh sounds with most ambient sound 'pushed in to the background'. On the London Underground, they did perform well, however, as there is space between the eardrum & the headphone, there was a degree of reverberation. If you have frequently travelled on the London Underground, then you will be very familiar with the 'SCREAMING SOUND' as the train goes around bends (imagine if you will the noise of a hammer-action drill, drilling aggressively into contrete while you stand right next to it for an hour... painful!!!) Reason For Purchase: I didn't want to spend 'funny money' for high quality sound. As a fan of Sony, I did purchase one their mid range models but they did not compare to this Anker model. Purchased principally for the very high quality sound... Definitely recommend. Build & design Quality... Definitely recommend... (look after it). An alternative to ear defending earplugs. (for me, if you're principally looking to defend your ears from noise, although you can still hear some sounds, the Anker Space Q45's will do well above ground) Call Quality: The call quality I feel is very good. Update: The ANC works extremely well walking through a park with the railway in the background. It block almost everything. Sound Quality: Listened to Prince, Purple Rain through the excellent Sony Xperia xz3 via the Poweramp music player. Excellent sound definition & range. While writing this... I am listening to the Zen Radio app... Superb sound definition, depth & range.

I'll keep it short. For context, I own and few good sets of headphones including Grado, B&O, and Sennheisers. The Q45s are incredibly good, not just because of the relatively low price; the sound is detailed and balanced across loads of genres. They are really comfortable and easy to operate, the app is also great. Battery life is massive, noise cancelling is impressive. The supplied case is awesome. What is not to like?

I had bought these back in January 2024, and for the most part they were amazing. Solid sound quality that sort of went muddy/flat in the last few months. Fantastic ANC. A stronger build quality from my previous headphones Q30s (Anker). They pretty much disintegrated in the ear cups and hinge/extension. For the next 2 years (just under), everything seemed great. Sound quality, features, Hear ID, LDAC, hearing protection and lifespan. Battery lasted a week or more when I wasn't using them and commuting to work. ANC was always turned on. The build quality was at first stronger with a tighter cushioned band and bigger softer ear cups. I have small ears; the kind where the smallest loop ear plugs don't fit, and these cups were more than spacious but created a barrier around my entire ear. I loved these. They were great for rock music and no sound leakage whilst commuting. Until this week, Nov 2025. On Monday I had noticed a hairline fracture above the right cup hinge. I thought nothing of it at the time and didn't check the extension since I have no need to. I have a small head and the original fit without extension fits just fine. That became the real problem. Over the next couple of days I began noticing more creaking, fractures deepening and bits falling off. The right side extension crumbled and completely collapsed. The right side extension began falling apart. Eventually making the right ear cup dangle by the wire alone. I am utterly flabbergasted and saddened by this. My favourite headphones gone (my only headphones). I only use these for travel and in my downtime. No excessive usage from gaming or studio work. Just light to medium usage from a 30 minute commute and back and a couple of hours at home. The creaking was normal especially for the brand, and as is with all plastic headphones. There were no sound dips nor other noticeable changes. I kept these beside my bed for late night meditation and zoning out. There was a saying not too long ago but don't think its around anymore but people said that Soundcore's building quality is terrible and that does ring true here. In both cases that I've had the Q30 and Q45, they have both disintegrated after a year and a half. The fluctuating price point just doesn't cut it anymore. They might be the staple in the market for ANC on a budget but I just can't do it anymore. The one thing I hoped would be different continues to curse me. Not even their Space one or Space one Pro seem comparable. The latter headphones being a newer model but a lower sound quality and ANC than the Q45. Sure, the app, features, ANC are currently the best on the market for budget friendly headphones and that kind of shows. It's either a solid sound and ANC or a bad battery life and terrible build quality. I can't keep placing blind faith in this brand anymore. I've actually downgraded in a way to getting the CMF Headphones Pro. A much cheaper alternative. I know the ANC and sound won't be the same nor on par with the Q45 but I'm hoping that the build quality lives up to expectation. The 50hr ANC lifespan equally seems promising. I might return to this brand if they do fix their issue over their plasticky build and muddy sound (Not out of the box but over time).

I've always been a massive soundcore fan so the review is just a reflection of my experience with their products. I've always found Soundcore product quality to price ratio are unmatched with most top end brands, like Sony, Beats, Sennheiser, the sound profile is always excellent, not too bassy, but has a nice balanced sound. I really like it, it's not changed much over the years. Now the reason I purchased these was because unfortunately broke my Q35 set I've had for five years, and I didn't want to spend £145 on the Space Pro's but I will probably buy them anyway for Christmas. The one thing I will say is PLEASE PLEASE soundcore PLEASE don't follow this silly trend of making them quieter for safety reasons, it ruins the listening experience, sometimes you just love to crank it up, they are starting to get a tad quieter on the overall volume I've found a lot of the expensive ones are terrible to listen to, mainly down to this reason. My Q35s we a lot louder, but since the WHO has set this recommended maximal DB level for safety on ears and integrated it into the app it's took the edge off them, now having said that this can be fixed by downloading Dolby Headphones on Windows 11 in the Microsoft Store, and also Wavelet on Google Play for my android phone, these apps help with the equalizer and the loudness settings and the bass profile, if you like it just that little bit more bassy. The headphones are capable of so much yet they are limited with the poor quality sound profiles in the soundcore app. Now I've got that out of the way, I'll now tell you what I think of the Space Q45 I recently purchased, what can I say they've knocked it out of the park again, the LDAC codec, the bass is excellent, and the highs and mids are very audible. I love a massive range of music, and the Space headphones DO NOT disappoint. I love Soundcore due to the comfort of the earcups on the side of the head, no clamping or uncomfortable feeling when you put them on, the ANC is probably the best I've heard in this price range, but doesn't compare with top end brands. (They are superb though anyway) I can't hear a thing outside of my music. I've owned very expensive headphones so I am not just saying this. The battery life is not accurate but it's still very good. The set came with a power cord (USB type c) connector, and also a beautiful case to protect them, saves laying out money for a decent case. They also come with a wired gold aux cable so you can use them wired (massive pro) The functionality is excellent and they are so easy to set up, they are a good design and you can fold them neatly into the case. They have a good range, and the bluetooth is easy to pair with any device. I don't think I'll ever buy another set, I think I've actually been spoiled with Soundcore products, nothing else quite sounds the same. You have the high-res quality sound and it's a really nice addition, it means you'll be able to listen to those tracks in ultra high quality. I love my new headphones, thanks Soundcore, I also bought a Select 2S bluetooth speaker and it's just as good quality wise, has a lot of weight and quality to it, buy both you won't regret it. Remember the apps though, they make the product even better.
