C's review of SOUNDCORE Space A40 Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds - White
Pros: After software update: excellent ANC, pass-through, LDAC, and many other improved features, along with the usual excellent Anker sound with near infinite personalisation/EQ options. A very comfy fit, long battery life and a discreet well designed case with wireless charging and multi-led feedback that includes if one bud isn’t connecting to charge properly, and a fantastic app. I honestly couldn’t be happier.Cons: The controls are slightly funky out the box, such as no previous track function, so some more thought on keeping the basic functions simple and obvious with the more underused special functions accessed by other means (such as more long-press options of either or both buds, let’s say via length of press, with vocal feedback for the mode changes) ...

A replaceable clear silicone rubber case to avoid scratches and attach it to you or your bag would also be nice.... Show more

Deep Rich Sound and Exceptional Noise Cancellation
These are my first Bluetooth earbuds. I'm blown away by the depth of the sound, the deep bass and the bright treble. They pair instantly with anything - the TV, the laptop, the smartphone. The app is amazing. I particularly like the fit test. I run it each time I insert the buds just to make sure they are in correctly. I haven't begun to explore the many choices for the equalizer. I'm just using the presets for now, which are great. I have one ear that requires a hearing aid. I used the app to analyze my hearing through the earbud, and it made the adjustments for that ear. The profile was saved in the app. I got used to the tap controls for volume, pause and switching modes. The noise cancellation is exceptional. The wireless charging case is perfectly small. I've ...

Fits great for exercise, very tinny transparency, no ANC in midrange, Starbucks music clearly heard with ANC on
Compared with "similarly priced ear buds" they do well. But far from an ideal ANC. Ear buds were fully charged in case, and only lasted less than 3 hours before the bud batteries died. I had bought these because I wanted the Starbucks music to be blocked so I could hear my music. The A40 is very disappointing. I've bought several pairs of ear buds trying to get what I wanted. I should have just bought the Sony WF-1000XM4 (<$200) and I wouldn't have wasted my money.... Show more

Great earbuds!
These earbuds have been working out really well for me. I am impressed on how light and comfortable they are in my ears. I tried all of the sizes and found the smallest size to fit me perfectly. The small size also fits my husbands ears which surprised him so I'd recommend trying them all to get your best fit. The Soundcore app has a fit test which will tell you if you're seating the earbuds in your ears correctly. It also has a hear id hearing test so it adjusts the volume of different frequencies. The battery life is excellent, I've been using them hours on end and have not recharged them. My husband has used them for work and they lasted all day. The ANC is much better than previous earbuds I've owned. The case works on our existing wireless charger so we don't ... MoreThese earbuds have been working out really well for me.

Great earbuds and I'd highly recommend!... Show more

Great earbuds and very good noise cancelling!
I received the Soundcare Space A40 SE earbuds a few days ago and they are great.The first thing is how small is the case!!! It fits in all pockets, this is very useful when moving all the time.The second thing is the connection reliability, it connects to all your devices quickly without trouble. I like a lot that you can connect two devices, it is useful if you want to stay connected to your phone while working on your computer.The third thing is the noise cancelling, it works great. Partially because it is an intra ear earbuds but also because of its technology.The forth thing is the battery time, the earbuds are small but you can get about 10h of charge, that is insane!!! and you can charge them 4 or 5 times with the case. Basically you can go for almost ... MoreI received the Soundcare Space A40 SE earbuds a few days ago and they are great.The first thing is how small is the case!!!

Basically you can go for almost a week off grid.The fifth thing is the audio quality, it is is very good like it seems you are in a music studio.My only little concern is that after some times, they pop out of my ears, especially when moving around. So I would not recommend them for running.In conclusion great earbuds and very good noise cancelling.... Show more

Great product!
This is my second SoundCore purchase. I’m a huge fan. They’re durable, and the charge lasts a long time. I love that they charge wirelessly, and recharge rather quickly.The sound quality in the cheaper pair is a hair better than these (not very noticeable), but the upside of this pair is worth every penny. For one, they’re smaller, and the downloadable app provides better options.I’m be bought a lot of earbuds before landing on SoundCore, including premium brands’ products (like Bose and JBL, among others) that cost more than $200 but we’re both underwhelming and disappointing.I’m in with SoundCore for the long haul!...

King of budget earbuds
It's unfortunate how much dump these earbuds get by not having the perceived brand value like Bose and Sony. This is unbeatable at its price point: long battery life, LDAC/high-def codec support, extremely light and comfortable fit, ANC and transparency mode, frequent firmware updates and app support with flexible EQ settings, and not to mention great customer service with 18 months warranty. This is the kind of value proposition that you would get in earphones priced twice or three times its price. These earphones probably won't "wow" you (maybe, if you have LDAC mode on), but it will basically trump over any other devices within the same price range.Anker is desperate in dominating the budget earbuds market, and it really shows.

As much as I would like to applaud the company for displaying a gold standard in this market, I'd like to thank the (insert basic audio brand) die-hard fans for showing their earnest criticism on this wonderful product and keeping the prices low. This really pushes Anker to the limit, and I can't wait to find out what they have up their sleeves.... Show more

My new favorite earbuds
I love the look, feel, and sound quality of the Space A40 wireless earbuds. Firstly, the storage case/charging station for these wireless earbuds is so well-made and compact. I just like the overall feel of the case, it just feels high quality. It also charges the earbuds really quickly. I have tiny ears and a lot of times my earbuds fall out. These wireless earbuds came with a lot of different size tips, including xs, which is the size I chose to use and they were perfect. These earbuds are so comfortable and they don't fall out of my ears! The sound quality is really good and they do a decent job of canceling out noise. I'm definitely going to make these my daily earbuds. I just love them.... Show more

The best noise cancelling earbuds by Soundcore!
I received the Space A40 SE Soundcore by Anker true wireless noise cancelling earbuds in the mail a couple weeks ago. I use earbuds daily, and these are the best ones I've found so far with 50 hours of playtime. It's amazing how you can hear nothing while wearing these. I love that it comes with 6 sizes to find the perfect fit. The case is small and perfect to carry in your pocket. It charges with USB-C charging cable. All you gotta do is download the Soundcore APP on your phone and you can custom your earbuds anyway you like for music or watching content. If you're looking for a really good pair of earbuds, check these out! You won't be disappointed!... Show more

These Earbuds Are Better Than Airpods IMHO
I cannot fathom why people spend hundreds on high-quality sounding, noise canceling earbuds when these earbuds provide everything the Airpods, Galaxy, Pixel buds provide and then some. I had Airpods, and I never had the sound quality I have now with Soundcore. I cannot begin to explain how good these earbuds are. It features its own app so you can customize the experience of using these earbuds. I can hear my music so clearly, and in some cases I can hear more in my music that I never heard from it before. The HearID is a great feature, as it helps adjust how the sound fills your ears for comfortability so it doesn't blow out your ears. Overall the features, app, sound quality, and the overall build quality is better than paying hundreds of dollars for Airpods and ...
