The Soundcore Space Q45 make a simple promise: over-ear adaptive ANC and a 65-hour battery for a fraction of Bose/Sony prices. For travelers and office workers who want quiet for days on end without thinking about a charger, they’re one of the best value plays in audio.
Key features worth knowing about
Adaptive ANC tunes cancellation to your surroundings, with Anker claiming up to 98% noise reduction. The 40mm drivers support LDAC hi-res audio, and Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint keeps you connected to two devices at once.
The headline is the battery: 65 hours with ANC on, per Anker — roughly double most flagships. A 5-minute quick charge adds 4 hours. The foldable design ships with a travel case, and the fit is tuned for long wearing sessions.
Who it’s for
Travelers and commuters who want maximum battery with their ANC. A 65-hour rating means transatlantic flights, full work weeks, and long trips without ever thinking about charging. Budget-conscious buyers who want over-ear ANC without paying Bose/Sony prices get most of the practical benefit here for substantially less money.
What to watch out for
The “98% noise reduction” claim is marketing — real-world ANC is very good for the price but doesn’t match the top Bose/Sony flagships in the toughest conditions. Set expectations at “excellent value” rather than “best in the world.” The design is functional rather than beautiful, and the plastic build doesn’t feel as premium as metal flagships. Call quality with two mics is fine for everyday use but not exceptional in very noisy environments.

Frequently asked questions
Is 65-hour battery real?
That’s the manufacturer rating with ANC on at moderate volume — based on specs, it’s among the longest in the category, roughly double most flagships.
How does the ANC compare to Sony/Bose?
Very good for the money, especially on planes and in offices — but the absolute best cancellation still belongs to the pricier flagships.
Is it comfortable for long flights?
Yes — the light clamp force and soft earcups are built for long wearing, though the plastic build doesn’t feel luxurious.
How the Space Q45 compare to the competition
Versus the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra, the Q45 trades the last 10% of ANC performance and premium materials for a fraction of the price and double the battery.
