Anker has unveiled the Soundcore Space 2 headphones at MWC 2026, updating one of its most popular product lines. The move builds directly on the success of the Soundcore Space One and Space One Pro, two headphones that became well-known for delivering surprisingly strong active noise cancellation and features at prices far below flagship competitors.
With Space 2, Anker is not reinventing the formula. Instead, it is refining the parts that made the previous models so appealing while adding smarter features and better comfort for daily use.
Smart sound, expanded codec support, and flexible ANC
The headline upgrade is improved adaptive active noise cancellation, which uses atmospheric pressure and sensor feedback to dynamically adjust how aggressively it blocks ambient sound. This means it can handle both constant background noise and sudden changes, like a passing bus or a loud announcement, more responsively than before.
On the audio side, Anker has expanded codec support meaningfully. In addition to SBC and AAC, the Space 2 now supports Sony’s LDAC, allowing up to 96 kHz / 990 kbps high-resolution Bluetooth audio when paired with compatible sources. As for the battery, with ANC on, Space 2 promises up to 40 hours per charge, and up to 60 hours with ANC off, rivalling much more expensive flagships. There’s also the added convenience of fast charging, giving hours of playback from just a short top-up.
Anker has also introduced Soundcore’s “Seamless AI Noise Cancelling Engine,” which combines adaptive filters with spatial awareness to improve focus on human voices and reduce unwanted background layers. This extends to call quality as well, with multiple mics and AI-enhanced voice pickup aiming to make calls clearer in real-world conditions.
The Space 2 also adds premium touches like spatial audio, multi-point Bluetooth connectivity, and an updated companion app for EQ and ANC customisation. As for comfort, redesigned earcups and improved ergonomics aim to keep long listening sessions comfortable.
The Soundcore Space 2 will be available in three colours: Linen White, Jet Black, and Seafoam Green. It is set to go on sale globally starting April 21 via Amazon and Soundcore’s website, priced at $129.99 in the US, £129.99 in the UK, and €129.99 across Europe.
