The Space NC is one of the best noise cancelling headphones I've used. I was surprised by how well they kept sounds out even without the noise cancelling feature turned on. They're lightweight and comfortable to wear for a long time. The headphone is very flexible and durable as well, even in the hands of a toddler who won't let them go.

I have been on a look out for feature rich, great sounding bluetooth headset and have spent considerable time at Best buy and Fry's listening to each and every single model on the display (Bose, Sony ,JBL, Sennheiser, AKG, Bang and Olufsen and few more !)After a detailed analysis, I had my eyes set on Bose QC 35 II for it's audio quality, comfort and features (integrated with Google Assistant and touch controls).I stumbled upon Anker Soundcore Space NC (my first ever introduction to any of the Anker products) during a 2 hour layover at Charlotte airport. I sat their testing at the store, playing atleast 10 songs (all different types, heavy bass, tweets, vocals) and I was in complete awe of the sound quality (Most important criteria). I did not want to make ... MoreI have been on a look out for feature rich, great sounding bluetooth headset and have spent considerable time at Best buy and Fry's listening to each and every single model on the display (Bose, Sony ,JBL, Sennheiser, AKG, Bang and Olufsen and few more !)After a detailed analysis, I had my eyes set on Bose QC 35 II for it's audio quality, comfort and features (integrated with Google Assistant and touch controls).I stumbled upon Anker Soundcore Space NC (my first ever introduction to any of the Anker products) during a 2 hour layover at Charlotte airport. I sat their testing at the store, playing atleast 10 songs (all different types, heavy bass, tweets, vocals) and I was in complete awe of the sound quality (Most important criteria). I did not want to make impulse buy but I caved in because of Brookstone 60 day return policy and identical pricing for the product through all the channels (Airport, Mall, Online).After I bought it, I immediately unwrapped it and it took me less than 1 minute to configure, connect my brand new Anker Soundcore NC with my phone. I wore it for next 2 hours continuously and absolutely, totally loved it. Then I was sure it was not impulse purchase but love at first sight (in this case first sound). For 2 hours, I didn't feel any weight on my head or need to take them off. Super Super Comfy ! Audio quality was brilliant on each and every song. Best of all, I played songs in the flight and was seated near the wing, couldn't have been at the better place to test Noise Cancellation. And the news is It Works ! Without the NC activation I got tons of engine sound but with NC on, the engine sound was blocked almost 90-95%.The other thing I really love about these headphones is not the headphone itself but the case ! It's so well made and compact. I have had other over the ear Bluetooth headset but those case with really bulky boxes. This one looks very elegant and can easily fit in a bag.Talk about product being undersold ! This product can be easily sold at $200 price point but at $100, it's a no brainer. The reason I say that is because it offers impeccable hands free talking feature plus I discovered a feature which is not advertised anywhere on the box but makes this product a hands down winner. Press the call button and you can activate Google Assistant, Siri and make calls, search, navigate....possibilities are endless.I bought a second one on Walmart to gift my brother. (Brookstone pricing changed to $129)Thanks Anker ! A great example of undersell but over deliver !

After years of swearing off noise-canceling headphones because they were too expensive, I finally broke down and purchased these Anker headphones at the Brookstone store in an airport. I'm so glad that I did! I had a lot of work to do on two connecting flights home and was desperate for some peace and quiet. They work beautifully, come with a nice case and cables (micro USB charging and audio), and are less than 1/3 the price of the Bose QC3. Bluetooth connectivity is an added plus and works perfectly. I use them at home to listen to podcasts while doing laundry, too. The only thing that could be improved is the swipe control feature on the outside of the right ear cup (you swipe up for louder sound, down for lower, forward for next song, backward for repeat a track ... MoreAfter years of swearing off noise-canceling headphones because they were too expensive, I finally broke down and purchased these Anker headphones at the Brookstone store in an airport.

The only thing that could be improved is the swipe control feature on the outside of the right ear cup (you swipe up for louder sound, down for lower, forward for next song, backward for repeat a track or move backward in the playlist, and tape the center for play/pause). The feature works rather well, but can be activated unintentionally when adjusting the headphones (be sure to only touch the outer rim). This is a minor issue. Otherwise, the headphones are excellent and terrific value for the price. I'm not an audiophile and have not used other brands of Bluetooth headphones before (just ear buds), so I can't compare the sound quality or noise cancellation to other products, but these Anker headphones certainly suit my needs. I haven't had them long enough to comment on durability or length of charge, but they work beautifully and I'm very happy with them. You can't beat them for the price!
