Anker unveils its Soundcore Space 2 over-ear headphones

After months of speculation, Anker has finally unveiled its new Soundcore Space 2 over-ear headphones. Announced at MWC in Barcelona, these latest cans use an “advanced, four-stage, low-frequency noise cancelling system” for improved ANC. Anker claims this adjusts for “optimal performance on the go”, indicating adaptive ANC capabilities.

Under the hood are 40mm double-layer drivers, comprising a silk diaphragm with metal ceramic material. These promise “full, rich bass, clear vocals and crystal clear highs”, according to Anker. The headphones support the LDAC codec, providing wireless streaming of up to 24-bit/96kHz over Bluetooth. The Soundcore app unlocks Anker’s HearID 3.0 feature, which customizes the frequency response to your hearing. The cans also support Smart Wearing Detection, so they’ll pause your music automatically when removed and resume once replaced.

Improved battery life is a major boon of these headphones. Anker claims that the Space 2 last up to 70 hours without ANC, and up to 50 hours with ANC. If true, that means the cans will last up to four consecutive days before requiring a charge. The headphones conduct calls using a three-mic array and an in-call AI noise-rejection algorithm, and those seeking tranquility can use the headphones’ one-tap white noise feature. Doing so plays a calming soundtrack of either Rainstorm, Blizzard, Rainy Park, or Babbling Brook.

The Space 2 sport soft memory foam padding and an “ergonomic” design. They also ship in Linen White, Seafoam Green, and Jet Black colorways. The Anker Soundcore Space 2 are scheduled for global release on April 21, 2026, and will cost $130. For reference, that’s $30 more expensive than their predecessor. We’ll put the cans through our testing lab as soon as possible to determine if the upgrades are worth it.
