What they actually said

Every complaint we could verify against the transcript, newest and longest first, one voice per reviewer.

The carrying case

14 of 18 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“Number two, less protection. Half the headphones are exposed to the elements. And number three, the magnet on the flap isn't very strong and it came undone multiple times for me when I've put it in my backpack and taken it out. And number…”

DHRME · Sep 2024 · 2:04 →

“the case that you can buy separately... the magnet kind of sucks on it, like it doesn't really hold it closed very well... it doesn't close all the way... and thirdly there's nowhere to put the cables”

Mike O'Brien · Sep 2024 · 3:43 →

“the only thing that Soundcore included to keep these in is a pouch. Now I definitely would have liked to have seen a hard case”

Gamesky · Sep 2024 · 2:00 →

“Well okay, the foldability doesn't excuse them from not actually having a hard and transport pouch for 199 Euros asking price.”

LeechTM · Oct 2024 · 0:16 →

“The one with the space one pro kind of feels like a swimming cap... it's just this really... rubbery, horrible material”

My Tech Gear · Jan 2025 · 8:08 →

“No case for this one, no carrying case, it just comes with a little dust bag that you can carry around with you.”

Sound quality

12 of 43 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“the Space 2 has the opposite issue, tuned with bass and treble under emphasis and also less treble extension than the Space One Pro... means that you might perceive kicks and vocals to lack some detail leading to what some might call a…”

SoundGuys · May 2026 · 5:21 →

“For example, the maximum volume it's still a bit too low if you like to listen to music very loud, and the bass can be quite boosted, which will drown a little bit the mids and the highs.”

Next Tech Upgrade · Nov 2025 · 4:41 →

“How does it perform to the original space one, which are pretty darn good and half the price? How's the audio on that? It is significantly better.”

Babbling Boolean · Nov 2024 · 12:54 →

“the sound is more like the space one at $99... especially at this price point of 199, I would have hoped that we would have had improved tuning”

EL JEFE REVIEWS · Sep 2024 · 13:42 →

“the sound coming from the space one pro is it's decent it sounds pretty good it's a well-rounded sound pretty bassy”

Native Rez Media · Jan 2025 · 9:34 →

“switching back and forth between a Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones and Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones and that really helped me notice just how weak the One Space Pros sounded in comparison.”

The on-ear controls

11 of 14 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“Sure they lack some features like the auto pause feature, even cheaper headphones will pause when you take them off your head and continue playing when you wear them back, but that's not the case here.”

Oscarmini · Feb 2025 · 7:18 →

“The original Space One also have a feature where you can touch and hold the left ear cup to activate transparency mode, but for some reason they decided not to include that one on the Space One Pro.”

CEONTHEMAKING · Sep 2024 · 6:27 →

“Easy chat is very easy to accidentally activated and also since you can't manually cancel easy chat, you have to wait the full 5, 10 or 15 seconds for your headphones to go back to normal”

GYMCADDY · Sep 2024 · 14:13 →

“one thing I I did not I was not able to find uh is these have the wearing detection thing you know uh I like that... but I did not find that in these”

Ernie’s Tech Channel · Jun 2025 · 14:22 →

“No hear ID on the space one pros at double the price than these.”

Price and value

8 of 25 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“at $200 dollars that's 1.99 without a case no unless you just got loads of money”

Native Rez Media · Jan 2025 · 11:42 →

“I don't think it's worth uh the extra money that you're going to pay”

Ernie’s Tech Channel · Jun 2025 · 15:50 →

“Retails on Amazon for $199.99... it's $100 more than this.”

Brannon No d · Sep 2024 · 17:21 →

“These play in a very interesting kind of price point $200 and that's one of the disappointing things I think for us is Soundcore is slowly inching up towards that price”

DHRME · Sep 2024 · 6:11 →

Design and build quality

5 of 36 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“So, if we're considering the Space One Pro to be the flagship, yes it has improved over the Space Q45 for sure on some counts, better ANC, better build, better comfort etc, but curiously it's more similar to the $99 Space One than you…”

DHRME · Sep 2024 · 15:45 →

“strange enough I highly prefer the leatherette on the base Space One's over the pros. With the pros the leatherette feels very plasticky and synthetic, whereas with the base Space One's this leatherette feels almost like silicone or soft…”

GYMCADDY · Sep 2024 · 2:12 →

“One small caveat as far as the design here would be how they stick out a bit when you're wearing them so you'll definitely be making a style statement.”

Oscarmini · Feb 2025 · 1:46 →

“they do look a lot like the Soundcore Space One, which are half the price of these and are actually available in more colors than these as well.”

Mike O'Brien · Sep 2024 · 2:40 →

“It's definitely not going to protect your headphones if you take a hard fall with them, but it will keep those dust bunnies at bay.”

Brannon No d · Sep 2024 · 2:22 →

“The rest of the headphones are built of hard plastics, which helps with keeping the weight down, but also feels rather cheap.”

Visionary Knight Tech · Oct 2024 · 1:35 →

Comfort and fit

5 of 42 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“the Space 2 has a bit softer material on the top here of the headband than the Space One Pro and the ear cups of the Space 2 are deeper than the ones in the Space One Pro”

Knowledge Sharing Tech · Aug 2026 · 4:04 →

“the tilt on the cups has actually changed quite a bit as the space one in my opinion is still king when it comes to the ear tilt.”

Dave Banter · May 2026 · 1:17 →

“I also feel that the Sonys are a bit tighter on the head... but the Space One Pros are definitely more gentle on the temples.”

Aaron X Loud and Wireless · Oct 2024 · 2:22 →

Noise cancellation

3 of 36 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“even though both of these headphones block out an impressive amount of noise they do so with a little more cabin pressure compared to other headphones on the market... more premium headphones are able to block out the same amount of noise…”

GYMCADDY · Sep 2024 · 8:33 →

“Now these are pro headphones, and ANC is the first thing that kind of disappointed me. It's not bad, but it's also quite lacking the punch of other headphones in the 200 Euro category when it comes to ANC, especially when it comes to mid…”

LeechTM · Oct 2024 · 2:14 →

“on both headphones they kind of don't work... they really didn't make much of a difference to canceling out the sound of wind going past my head”

My Tech Gear · Jan 2025 · 5:07 →

“the Space 2's transparency mode does work, however we did observe an audible hiss layered on top of the passthrough audio”

SoundGuys · May 2026 · 4:25 →

Transparency mode

3 of 12 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“Even all the way up at level five, you're really don't hear everything around you as if you didn't have the headphones on... they reproduce all the frequencies very well, sounds very natural, but just quieter.”

Mike O'Brien · Sep 2024 · 7:19 →

Battery life

2 of 13 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“The battery is now 40 hours with ANC on it's rated at and 60 hours with ANC off and that is a downgrade compared to the Q45 which had 50 hours with ANC on”

DHRME · Sep 2024 · 3:13 →

Microphone quality on calls

2 of 12 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“These are the Soundcore Space One Pro microphones indoors. Honestly, for my testing with these, they were not particularly impressive. They're not terrible in quiet environments like this”

Mike O'Brien · Sep 2024 · 4:56 →

“With the Soundcore Space One Pro, I feel that these are letting in more chatter and they have a little bit more interference with your voice.”

GYMCADDY · Sep 2024 · 11:58 →

“So we think Soundcore didn't test the microphones correctly and they hopefully should be able to fix this with a firmware update.”

DHRME · Sep 2024 · 4:17 →

Bluetooth and connectivity

2 of 9 reviewers who discussed it had a problem with it

“Now, mobile gaming is decent with these headphones as well, despite the fact that they are not really designed for gaming in mind. There is no low latency or gaming mode to be found with these headphones”

EL JEFE REVIEWS · Sep 2024 · 1:35 →

“I notice a little delay when I was gaming with them via Bluetooth, so I wouldn't recommend you buy them if that's what you're looking for.”

Next Tech Upgrade · Nov 2025 · 2:45 →

“Keep in mind that if you enable LDAC for higher quality audio, you have to say goodbye to multipoint pairing.”

Oscarmini · Feb 2025 · 2:37 →

Who this is counted from

Thumbnails open each reviewer's video on YouTube.

How this is counted. One reviewer, one vote per topic — a reviewer who makes six points about sound counts once, so the numbers measure reception rather than talkativeness. Specifications and stated personal preferences are excluded; only assessments and direct comparisons count. A topic appears only where at least eight reviewers discussed it.
