The verdict
The Soundcore Space 2 is one of the most comfortable and feature-packed budget headphones you can buy, with ANC and battery life that punch well above its price. Sound quality out of the box is its biggest weakness, but the Soundcore app's EQ tools can help fix it.

Soundcore Space 2SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve
Measured frequency response (dB) against the SoundGuys house target — the dashed curve. The closer the measured line tracks the target, the more neutral the tuning; peaks ride above the target, dips fall below it.
