#18 Anker Soundcore Space A40

4 5
The Anker Soundcore Space A40 earbuds offer a comfortable fit, effective noise cancellation, and a versatile sound profile with LDAC support. They boast a long battery life, IPX4 water resistance, and a feature-rich companion app. However, they lack wear sensors and stability fins, and their ANC could be improved. The design is considered plain and the microphone quality is average. Despite these drawbacks, they provide good value for their price point.
