The verdict

The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. While the sound profile doesn't quite match our platonic ideal, it's adequate for most listeners. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too. If you're willing to put up with the mobile app and sound quality, you'll enjoy the Space Q45 from Anker's brand Soundcore.
