soundcore by Anker Space A40 Wireless Headphones with Adaptive Noise Cancelling 98% Noise Reducing 50H Playback Hi-Res Audio Comfort Fit Wireless Charging

Editing my previous review, I bought this in november 2023, and loved the sound, but the batery seemed less, but i loved the sound so much tht i didnt return. After 3 month i posted a review, saying lovely sound but battery is less. I was contacted by seller saying we r sorry, and we would like to make it up to u, and we offer a ful refund. I responded tht i would prefer if u send me a new one if battery is more, they accepted immediately. I reutned the old unit without any shipping charges and a new space a40 reached me within 2 days. And i love not only love the sound, but the app customization options, now the battery is also more than +7 hrs continuous music, and charging speed is also fast. I compared these with soundpeats free 2 classic, soundpeats mini, soundpeats mini pro, soundpeats engine 4, jabra elite 7 pro, one plus evo, (yes i love collecting n enjoying alot of these.) and i can confidently say i can rank it almost at the top, in terms of sound and battery life. The best part is sellers concern, responsiveness and their confidence in their product and going out of the way to resolve a customer issue and thus winning respect and a returning customer. This was my first experience with soundcore but i m impressed n wil definitely buy again n recomend to everyone. Highly recomended

Great value for money, amazing base, perfect mic, very light on ears. i used to use Samsung Galaxy bud 2 Pro but after using Soundcore A40, i have realised it is much better in terms of call quality, music perhaps the same (but in nearly half the price of samsung buds). 3D sound is not so great though, but overall great music and call experience.

I ordered these and a pair of the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE to test them both out. I didn't see any reviews that addressed my questions, so, in case anyone else is looking for this info... I have VERY weird ears. I have to use two different sizes on all earbuds and they are usually TERRIBLY uncomfortable, no matter what. These are SO comfortable and they actually stay in my ears no matter what I am doing! (The Samsungs were good, fairly comfortable and stayed in, but not as well). The second major aspect for me was "can they do everything without having to get out my phone?" One of the things I liked about these is that the controls are MUCH more customizable. On the Samsungs, you have to choose between being able to manually switch noise modes OR being able to raise/lower the volume. These allow you to do both, and skip songs and stop/play. So I never have to take out my phone. The adaptive noise mode feature on both works great, but sometimes, you want to just tap and change for something they don't recognize and I want to do all that without having to reach into my pocket with my filthy hands while gardening to get my phone wet and dirty. For the "normal stuff"... Since I am not an audiophile, the sound quality kind of all sounds the same to me no matter which earbuds I buy, so... all I can say there is that I hear my music, it sounds good, I am happy. Battery life: not sure it fully meets the 10 hours, I got started this morning at about 11 am and had them playing pretty much nonstop until about 6pm and they crapped out. So that's really more like 7 hours instead of 10. But, I charged them for like 20 minute while I was talking to someone and they lasted until I was done with my work at about 8pm, so I didn't mind. Connectivity: my work today included going up and down a scaffold three storeys high on the front of my house and all the way into the basement and my garden out back. So we are talking about a range of about 15 meters front to back and an additional up/down of about 12 meters. I had my phone about in the middle of all that and I rarely disconnected. So the range is around 10-15 meters and when I did disconnect, the second I was back in range (even if I was out for a few minutes), they reconnected right away. App: the app is great, easy, user-friendly and it offers a basic equalizer. That is something that the Samsung does "better" if you want AI and Bixby and a few more modes, the "find my" function, etc. Though, I am not sure those are available to anyone but Samsung phone/tablet owners. I didn't care about any of that, I wanted "easy, good, practical". Noise cancellation: Both did really well with this, I didn't test out the Samsungs long enough to comment, but these... my work has included: sanding wood posts, sanding metal fences, cutting metal rain drains with a cricular angle grinder, pressure washing my patio and some of the metal sanding was done while i was seated about 3 meters from a jackhammer in use on concrete. So.. a LOT of VERY loud noises... It COMPLETELY cut out the higher register sounds of the grinder against the metal. I could barely hear the pressure washer and the jackhammer and the sound of the sanding (wood or metal) was still audible, but dampened quite a bit. So I was VERY pleased about that. Even without music on, just the noise cancellation feature is GREAT. Can't wait to sleep with them in while on my vacation in noisy hotels! So, after 3 days of HARD constant use, gotta say, really happy with this purchase. If anything major changes, I will update this.

I've never had wireless earbuds before, but I liked the standard wired ones that come with the iphone and another slightly more expensive pair I bought. I thought they sounded pretty good. But then I got these to see what wireless would be like and WOW! What a difference! The sound quality is MUCH better! Everything immediately sounded much better and smoother. The app has an equalizer so you can customize the sound however you'd like. They fit and feel really nice. In fact, I can hardly feel them at all. They stay in fairly well too. I've only had one drop out once and it turned out it was just getting a bit slippery from skin oil. I can see it's important to keep my ears clean (just wipe some of the skin oil off before inserting them) when wearing them and to take the rubber tips off and gently clean them once in a while. I had no interest in noise cancellation at all because I like to be able to hear what's going on around me, but once I turned it on, again, WOW! Immediately it cut out all of the low rumble I hear all the time but just wasn't noticing any more. The silence is soooo nice! I keep it turned on when I am out walking as well. It really is nice to hear music with an almost silent background. I do hear voices a bit and cars sound like a quiet hiss when they go by. I just make sure I'm paying close attention when crossing streets! The case is magnetic so it snaps them into place so they charge properly. I don't usually wear them for too long but I think I've used them for around 3 hours once on a single charge. I do recommend you try each of the rubber tips and use the one that works the best. I went straight for the smallest but later tried the next size up and it worked a little better. It's a bit more snug in my ears and it blocks out sound a bit better. No complaints at all! Now I have to wonder how much better the more expensive ones really are because these ones seem perfect!

Balanced sound. Decent ANC. These things are excellent for the price. They may not be quite as good as others that cost twice as much, but they're close enough that I don't feel like I could justify spending the money for such a small improvement. They're comfortable and stay in my ear very well. Noise canceling is probably the only area where they fall noticeably short of more expensive options. It's good, but still allows more sound in than some people would prefer. I don't personally need to shut out the world, just quiet it down. So it's not an issue for me. Anker has proved that it's entirely possible to produce good stuff without the high price tag. I've owned several of their products, and I've always felt like I got good value for my money.
