Soundcore Space 2 noise-canceling headphones are available for $106.49 at three major US retailers as of October 23.
The price cut represents a $23 discount from the standard list price. Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart all carry the sale. The offer applies to every available color option for the device.
The Space 2 model replaces the Space One, which launched in 2023. The Verge reviewer John Higgins named the original Space One among the best budget noise-canceling headphones at that time. The newer unit carries a $30 higher base price than its predecessor.
Engineering changes in the Space 2 target low-frequency noise suppression. The headphones handle sounds from trains and airplane engines more effectively than the original model. Soundcore also adjusted the internal design to produce more accurate audio output.
Several features from the original Space One remain in the new hardware. The device supports high-resolution LDAC audio. It also includes HearID 3.0, a tool that personalizes sound based on user responses to specific audio samples.
Battery life extends significantly in the updated model. With active noise cancellation enabled, the headphones run for up to 50 hours. The Space One managed 40 hours under the same conditions. With noise cancellation disabled, the Space 2 lasts 70 hours, compared to 55 hours on the previous generation.
The headphones include a 3.5mm jack for wired use if the battery depletes. An automatic pause feature stops playback when the device is removed from the user's head. The Verge describes the Space 2 as an easy recommendation due to its stronger noise cancellation and improved sound quality relative to the first version.
