Anker Soundcore Space One (A3035731 / A3035Z31, A3035031) Review: Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling Headphones

The Anker Soundcore Space One (A3035731 / A3035Z31, A3035031) headphones promise a premium noise-cancelling experience with high-fidelity audio and extended battery life. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting them through their paces in various environments, from bustling commutes to quiet home offices, to see if they live up to the hype. My findings are detailed below.

The Space One boasts a compelling array of features. Beyond the advertised adaptive active noise cancellation and LDAC support, the comfortable design and surprisingly long battery life are key selling points. The included Type-C charging is also a welcome addition in today’s market.

The noise cancellation is truly impressive. I was able to significantly reduce the drone of airplane engines and the chatter of a busy coffee shop. The 2x stronger voice reduction, as advertised, noticeably minimized distracting conversations. The sound quality, thanks to LDAC, is rich and detailed, offering a much fuller listening experience than standard Bluetooth codecs. The battery life exceeded expectations; I consistently got over 30 hours of playtime with ANC enabled. The comfort level is also excellent; I wore these for extended periods without discomfort.

However, while the noise cancellation is generally very effective, I did notice some leakage of very low-frequency sounds. The call quality, while decent, wasn’t exceptional in noisy environments. There are minor issues connecting with certain devices, but this might be related to Bluetooth 5.3’s teething issues with older software.

Pros:

  • Excellent noise cancellation, especially for mid to high frequencies
  • High-fidelity audio with LDAC support
  • Exceptional battery life
  • Comfortable and well-designed
  • Type-C charging

Cons:

  • Some low-frequency sound leakage
  • Call quality could be improved in noisy environments.
  • Minor connection inconsistencies across devices.
  • Overall, the Anker Soundcore Space One (A3035731 / A3035Z31, A3035031) headphones are a strong contender in the premium noise-cancelling market. The combination of effective noise cancellation, superb sound quality, and excellent battery life makes them a compelling choice for frequent travelers or anyone who needs to focus in noisy environments. While there’s room for minor improvements in call quality and low-frequency noise isolation, these shortcomings don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality pair of wireless headphones.
