Soundcore by Anker Space A40 Auto-Adjustable Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, Reduce Noise by Up to 98%, 50H Playtime, Hi-Res Sound, Comfortable Fit, App Customization(Renewed)

Do yourself a huge favor and BUY THESE NOW!! I am a former AirPod and Bose owner and so my expectations for these earbuds were pretty high for sound quality, noise cancellation, most importantly battery life. So I thought who better to ask for a recommendation than Google Gemini? These were the 2nd paid on the list, so I did a deep dive into the reviews after seeing the $40 price and decided to order them fully anticipating they would be a fail like the SkullCandy Dime 3 earbuds (garbàge). To say I am thrilled with these Soundcore Space A40 earbuds would be an understatement. The style is super low-profile, unlike bulky Bose and odd-shaped Airpods and they fit snuggly into the ear by including multiple size tips in the box. Active noise cancellation is on point! Baby crying? Gunshot? Boss nagging at you? Not when you have these in..zero outside noise whatsoever. Sound? Incredible! Deep Bass that does not get tinny when volume is at maximum and phone calls are clear as a bell. Max level is slightly lower than others but it’s definitely loud enough and crystal clear. Battery life was what my other 2 high-end pairs suffered from. 1 hour for Apple and 1.25 for Bose. I got to the point where I was carrying 2 separate charging cases with me and swapping them mid-workout which was annoying. Battery life on these? Chef’s Kiss! 2 hour+ workout no match for these gems! I ran out of energy before they did! Trust me, for Style, Sound Quality, Battery Life, and Price..these are the BEST earbuds on the market. And if you don’t believe me, just ask Gemini!

Great sound, good & useful app. I bought them primarily for long airplane flights. Jet engine noise is not unbearably loud, but it's constant for 7-8 hours, which is wearing. I'd rather be listening to music—and only music. The "Noise Cancelling" setting reduces the engine noise to distant background. The "Normal" setting turns on the earbuds' microphones to simulate a normal noise level (conversation, etc.) as though you didn't have earbuds in your ears, but note: they're mikes, so they pick up the noise of wind blowing across them (something your ears don't do). This isn't a problem in an airplane, but it may be one outdoors. "Transparency Mode" amplifies ambient sound, making it a bit louder and clearer—perhaps good for those who need a bit of help hearing (though it's not "hearing aid" mode). The app has a "HearID" function which "maps your personal hering sensitivity at multiple frequencies and ...creates a personalized sound profile for you." Control (Volume, Next, Play/Pause, sound mode) is either by the app, or by tapping the earbuds. You can set up the tap controls as you prefer: one tap on the right earbud for this, two taps for that, etc. A caution: like most earbuds, these are tiny devices easily fumbled, dropped and lost; and the handsome case is as smooth and slippery as a wet bar of soap. I lost my first pair, in the case, on a flight. They were never found/returned. (Some airlines now advise passengers not to spend time hunting for "dropped items," but to ask a flight attendant for assistance. Good luck!) I don't begrudge the plane-cleaning staff the pleasure they may gain from all the earbuds they discover during their work.

I think overall it is very good for the price as a workout type of earbuds. However, they don't really fit my ears perfectly even with the different tip sizes. Pros: - Good for the price and now even cheaper than when I got them. I think there were like $60-80 when I got them but now you can get them for $43 renewed which is just as good. - Fast charge time and long lasting battery. I barely have to charge them but it is also cause I don't use them everyday. When I used them everyday for the gym for around 2.5 hours with commute, I had to charge them maybe only 1-2 times per week. If they were at 0, I could spend like 30 minutes charging them and they would be good until I could charge them overnight. - Although not waterproof, the IPX rating is IPX4 which is good enough for the gym and maybe shower if that's your kind of thing ig. - The sound quality is alright but I have no comparison for other wireless earbuds so I can't really compare it Cons: - Not a good fit. This is probably just me but I have tried multiple ear tip sizes and none of them fit that well. They wouldn't fall out that easily unless I am sweating, but they still didn't create a seal in my ear which meant a lot of noise still went through. You may have better luck though. - IPX rating imo is too low. I feel like for earbuds they should be higher. I got these for the gym because I thought earbuds were lower profile but I started using my WHXM4s and they have the same IPX rating and also sound and cancel out noise better. They even feel better cause I don't have the anxiety of them falling out every minute I move. Overall I would say that they are good for the price, especially right now when they are super cheap but I would still recommend checking the current market for better earbuds. If you intend to use them for office or commuting, I think there are better choices for noise cancelling and audio quality. If you intend to use them for the gym (or running in the rain like I wanted to), there are ones that are more water resistant. I basically stopped using them outside of commuting and school because they are a lot smaller than my XM4s, but I would probably also use any other earbud over this if I could. If you are on a budget though, again I don't know if you can really beat this for $40

I had bought a number of SoundPeats versions of ear buds and they all sounded ok but one area I wanted better performance with dual source capable. I also wanted them to switch between sources seamlessly and also use it for my TV. The TV issue was what prompted me to look for some other brands including JBL, Samsung, and Tozo. None of them seemed to handle the transition from TV to cell call smoothly. Some units I would need to reset after a call came through. The other issue was with when my TV source first turned on, I had to accept the connection with my TV remote. Sometimes I would fat finger the connection request due to the poor design of the TV remote and then I needed to put the buds back into the charger case to reset it before I got another chance to connect to the TV. Some units did not even make the connection to the TV and I would not even get the acknowlegement from the TV set that it was waiting forthe bluetooth connection. I then read about the Anker and the reviews looked really good and the sound quality appeared better than these other brands. I ordered them with some hesitation but upon trial, the worked seamlessly. The transition between call to TV or vice versa was without fault. The initial connection request to TV came right up each time. Now it is not perfect, sometimes there might be a miss where the connection to the TV does not happen but it is infequent and acceptable. The battery life is excellent where I can listen for 12 hours without worrying about a charge. Sound quality is very very good and better than any of the other brands I used. I easily gave this 5 stars and would seriously buy another when the time comes.

I've bought these three times because I like them so much and I have misplaced them twice. My Apple Airpod Pros started to get static and I was looking for a replacement. My must haves were noise cancellation and better battery life than the Airpods. The battery on these Anker Soundcores Space A40s go all day. A bonus is you can wirelessly charge these also. The noise cancellation is decent but not as good as Apples. Not a big deal for me. Sound quality is good not outstanding but you can tweak it in the app. Great for the money! I fall asleep in these all the time and they are very light and comfortable. I can wear these for hours. Sound quality= 7.7/10. Noise cancellation = 7/10 and Comfort = 9/10. I now use Anker Q30 Headphones when I want to have more noise cancellation and these when Im working out/ walking etc. Anker is not only making great power banks and cables but also speakers and headphones.

So I am a light sleeper with a partner that snores and I have sensory processing problems though they are a bit chunky they, for me they are just comfortable enough to sleep with. I got these (maybe against my better judgment) because the claim that they block up to 98% of noise. Which I guess is kind of true but it's not because of their active noise canceling that works about as well as the 18$ ear plugs I recently got. At best the ANC blocks MAYBE 32db which basically knocks down harsh tones and over all volume. As far as the 98% claim though a little deceptive it is true if you are playing music at the max safe volume level and have the earbuds on normal mode. That brings me to my next point. While music is playing ANC doesn't seem to work at all and ANC alone isn't particularly useful. Besides hearing sounds like your own breathing or jaw movement and foot steps normal mode is strangely better than the ANC. Besides that both transparency modes work very well and with some tinkering with sound profiles the earbuds sound great. The soundcore app that is used for these earbuds is just okay. It connects fine you can make custom audio profiles and change how the earbud controls work. Two problems with it though are that 1. The widget stops working properly regularly requiring opening the app to get the widget working again. 2. Disabling the earbud controls is a bit inconvenient. For the three control types you have to go to their respective menu and turn off that specific type individually. It would be much better if there were a button on the widget that disabled ALL controls at the same time. With those few problems aside these earbuds are surprisingly good for the price! I'd recommend them to anyone on a budget that is looking for great sound quality.

I decided to get these instead of the Beats Studio Buds. I’m glad I did. I personally like the way they sound out of the box but you can tune them to your taste. They even have a system that test your hearing and creates a tailored sound profile just for your ears. They have incredible battery life. Multi point connectivity and wireless charging. They have more features than the Studio buds. And they cost about 40% less. About the only thing I wish was better was the noise canceling. It does significantly reduce some background noise but it’s not as effective as some higher end earbuds. But that is not a dealbreaker for me. The ANC works well enough for me. All in all I really like these earbuds and I’m very happy with my purchase.

This is my first pair of wireless earbuds. Sound quality is good enough for me, and I'm a little bit of an audio snob. The app has nice features and is easy to use. Tuning them to your ears seems to improve SQ a bit. Noise cancellation is effective and smart. Not going to block out as much noise as, say, a $200 set of Bose earbuds, but it does a good enough job to mow the lawn with an electric mower and more or less silence that noise as long as you have something playing. Not quite effective enough to block out the sound while onboard an airplane if you have the kind of seat you can afford if you're buying this product :) In fully transparent sound cancellation mode, it will still block out the drone and constant noise of something like an electric bike's motor, or wind noise, but will allow the sound of non-constant (upcoming car, person behind you yelling about how you don't deserve to exist) through. For the money, very good. Battery easily lasts 3 hours, may be longer or shorter depending on what you have playing at what volume level. By mixing and matching the included (cheap) silicon inserts I was able to find a good-enough fit for me. Not everyone has the same size hole on each side of their head. What I don't understand is why products like this don't have a breathable charging case. They're marketed as and intended to be used by active people. Active people sweat. Plopping these yucky drenched earbuds into their charging container and then shutting it lets them sit in their stew. I typically let them air out and even wipe them clean after each use before holstering them into their little cave. I was paranoid that one of these would slide out while cruising at 20 MPH and would be gone forever, but I can say that they stay pretty securely in your head. I do find myself fidgeting with them quite a bit, but that might just be me. Fit could be better but is very good considering it's the first product I found, the price, and the fact that they're made to fit Everyone. Look no further!
