Soundcore Space One Active Noise Cancelling Headphones — White
The Soundcore Space One in White is an over-ear wireless headphone built for daily commuters, students, and office workers who want adaptive active noise cancellation, LDAC Hi-Res Audio, and all-day battery life at a practical price. It delivers 40 hours of ANC playtime and 55 hours in normal mode, backed by a 40mm customised dynamic driver, three-microphone call clarity, and an 8° floating-axis earcup design that adapts to different head shapes. Furthermore, the White colourway is one of three colour options for the Space One, offering a cleaner aesthetic alternative to the Black and Sky Blue variants, with identical hardware across all three.
What’s in the box: Space One headphones + soft waterproof travel pouch + USB-C charging cable + 3.5mm AUX cable. No wall charger and no hard carry case are included.
LDAC and Multipoint note: LDAC and multipoint connection cannot operate simultaneously. The headphones notify you when you attempt to enable LDAC while connected to two devices. To use LDAC, disconnect the second device first. LDAC also requires Android 8.0 or later — it is not available on iOS devices.
Wearing Detection note: The Wearing Detection auto-pause feature is disabled by default. Before enabling it in the soundcore app, remove the dustproof sticker from the sensor hole inside the left earpad. The feature will not function with the sticker in place.

Use Cases
Daily Commuting and Public Transport
The Space One White’s adaptive ANC automatically applies its strongest cancellation on trains and buses, reducing engine noise and crowd noise without manual adjustment. At 40 hours of ANC playtime per charge, the headphones cover a full five-day commuting week without needing a top-up. Additionally, Google Fast Pair (Android 6.0+) speeds up the initial pairing process for Android users.
Study and Focus Work
The five-level custom transparency mode allows you to dial in exactly how much environmental sound you want to hear — useful in library or open-plan settings where you need partial awareness. Easy Chat mode avoids the need to remove the headphones when a lecturer or colleague speaks to you directly. Furthermore, the HearID feature calibrates the EQ to your hearing profile, which is helpful during long study sessions.
Remote Work and Video Conferencing
Three microphones and an AI processing algorithm handle call clarity in home office and shared workspace environments. Note that the EQ settings in the soundcore app affect only media playback — they do not change call audio quality. The soundcore app also includes a decibel meter and safe volume limit, which helps protect hearing during extended work-from-home listening sessions.
Hi-Res Wireless Listening
LDAC delivers a noticeably higher bitrate than SBC or AAC on compatible Android devices (Android 8.0 or later). Combined with the 40mm customised dynamic drivers and HearID personalised EQ, this provides a more detailed wireless listening experience for music. However, enabling LDAC disconnects multipoint and increases power consumption, reducing playtime from the headline figures.
Travel
The 3.5mm AUX input provides a wired fallback for in-seat aircraft entertainment systems, with ANC still active. The foldable design and included travel pouch allow the headphones to pack into carry-on luggage efficiently. However, note that using the AUX cable and charging simultaneously may produce electrical interference — unplug the USB-C cable before connecting the AUX cable during a flight.
Considerations Before Buying
- No wall charger in the box. The package includes a USB-C cable and 3.5mm AUX cable only. A standard USB-C charger is required and must be sourced separately.
- Soft pouch only — no hard carry case. Unlike the Space Q45, the Space One ships with a soft waterproof travel pouch. It provides basic protection but does not offer the same level of impact resistance as a moulded hard case.
- LDAC requires Android 8.0 or later. iOS devices do not support LDAC. iPhone users will use SBC or AAC only.
- LDAC and multipoint are mutually exclusive. Enabling LDAC disconnects the second paired device. You receive an in-headphone notification when this occurs.
- AUX and charging simultaneously causes interference. Using the 3.5mm AUX input while the headphones charge via USB-C may produce an electrical current noise. Use battery power when listening via AUX.
- Wearing Detection requires setup before first use. The feature is off by default. Remove the dustproof sticker inside the left earpad and enable Wearing Detection in the soundcore app before it functions.
- EQ does not affect call quality. Adjusting EQ settings in the soundcore app changes music and media playback only. Call audio quality is unaffected by EQ changes.
- No IP water or sweat resistance rating. The Space One is not suitable for gym use or wet outdoor conditions.
- No hard carry case. Buyers who need robust case protection for travel should consider the Soundcore Space Q45, which ships with a hard-shell moulded case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Space One White differ from the Black and Sky Blue versions?
All three Space One colour variants share identical hardware specifications. The White, Black, and Sky Blue versions use the same drivers, ANC system, battery, codecs, and microphone configuration. The only difference between them is the colour finish.
Does the Soundcore Space One come with a hard carry case?
No. The Space One includes a soft waterproof travel pouch. If you require a hard-shell carry case, the Soundcore Space Q45 ships with a moulded hard case and may be a better fit for your needs.
Does the Space One support LDAC on iPhone?
No. LDAC is only available on Android devices running Android 8.0 or later. iOS devices use SBC or AAC.
Can I use LDAC and connect to two devices at the same time?
No. LDAC and multipoint connection cannot operate simultaneously. The headphones notify you when you try to enable LDAC while connected to two devices. Disconnect one device to switch to LDAC mode.
How do I enable Wearing Detection on the Space One?
Wearing Detection is off by default and will not work until you remove the dustproof sticker from the sensor detection hole inside the left earpad. After removing it, open the soundcore app and enable Wearing Detection from the top-right menu of the Space One interface.
Why does the EQ setting not change my call quality?
The EQ in the soundcore app applies to media and music playback only. It has no effect on call audio. This is confirmed behaviour and is not a fault with your headphones.
Is there a buzzing noise when I use the AUX cable?
Electrical interference can occur when the AUX cable and USB-C charging cable are both connected at the same time. Unplug the USB-C cable and use battery power when listening via AUX to eliminate this. Alternatively, use a three-prong grounded plug for the charger.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 40 hours with ANC on at 50% volume, or up to 55 hours in normal mode at the same volume. Calls consume more power than music playback, so mixed-use days will see shorter runtimes. A five-minute fast charge adds four hours in normal mode.
Is the Space One White waterproof?
No. The Space One carries no IP water or sweat resistance rating. The internal components have UV-protection glue applied to key solder points to reduce — but not eliminate — the risk of moisture damage. It is not suitable for gym use or rain.
Does the Space One support Google Fast Pair?
Yes. The Space One supports Google Fast Pair on Android 6.0 and above, which simplifies the initial pairing process on compatible Android devices.
